San Francisco Tenants Union

10/21/2026

Scott Wiener works on behalf of developers, lobbyists, and corporate landlords to distract you about the “housing shortage”, while doing everything in his power to remove tenant protections. As Senator, Scott has:

Opposed Prop 10 in 2018, which would have repealed Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, allowing San Francisco to pass stronger rent control legislation

Opposed Prop 33 in 2024, expanding rent control for millions of Californians.

Claimed he wants Ellis Act reform, yet as Supervisor, over 1,000 Ellis Acts were performed, kicking over 2,424 people out of their homes.

Fought to convert over 2,000 rent-controlled homes in San Francisco into luxury condos.

With a record like this, San Francisco cannot afford to have Scott Wiener fail to represent us any longer.

In 2018, San Francisco voters were asked a simple question: tax wealthy corporations to fund housing, shelter, and treatment for people living on the street.
Scott Wiener said no.
Voters said yes — 61% of them.
Today, Our City, Our Home has funded over 5,600 units of housing, shelter, and treatment beds. 5,600 solutions he tried to stop. It's part of how the city gets people off the street and into care.
This is what "pro-housing" actually looked like when it counted — and he opposed it.

We agree!!!

Indivisible SF Believes: Progressive Taxation Is the Democratic Choice

Indivisible SF endorses YES on California Prop. 40, NO on 41, NO on 42, and NO on 43.

Prop 40 would make a great first start at taking power back from the billionaires by taxing their egregious wealth, and props 41–43 are competing propositions that would attempt to preempt it or otherwise threaten progressive taxation.

This week for Wiener Wednesdays: Airbnb regulation.

By 2015, Airbnb had nearly 10,000 listings in San Francisco, despite short-term rentals already being prohibited. Tenants were pushed out to make room for tourists, as landlords chased the money.

Scott Wiener wasn't concerned about that loss of supply. He opposed Prop F, our 2015 ballot measure to regulate short-term rentals, saying they were "not even close to the primary cause of our housing crisis." We lost that year, and the industry got what it wanted (for a while).

Airbnb's leadership showed up for him the following year. Airbnb CEOs Chesky & Gebbia both maxed out to his 2016 state senate campaign. (Gebbia now works for Trump.)

For many newcomers and Gen Z, Scott Wiener is known as California's "pro-housing" politician. But that's only part of the story.

For more than a decade, the San Francisco Tenants Union has watched him vote, followed the money, and fought the vultures that have shaped our city's displacement crisis. We remember the fights over (not) regulating Airbnb, condo conversions, Costa Hawkins repeal, the luxury developers and slimy landlords backing certain candidates, and much more.

Every Wednesday, we'll revisit a different chapter of Scott Wiener's record—with documents, campaign contributions, legislation, public statements, and the context that's often left out.

We're not asking you to take our word for it. We're bringing the receipts.

And we know we don't have every receipt.

Were you involved in one of these fights? Have an article, flyer, photo, quote, campaign mailer, or forgotten piece of history? We want to hear from you and elevate your knowledge. DM us to help us build this series.
Because the people deserve the truth.

Freaked out about rising rents? It's a unifying terror for most renters because we know if we lose our apartments we are probably out of the city for good...

The AI boom has helped San Francisco turn around its Covid-era woes — but rent hikes and people buying for a million over the listing price is setting nerves on edge, Josh Marcus reports
