A photo of a community meeting has sparked a generational fight over San Francisco real estate

Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in plastic chairs, hundreds of defiant San Francisco residents, a noticeable number of them gray-haired, packed themselves into a gallery at the Fort Mason Center last Thursday. The reason? To protect their famously quaint waterfront neighborhood from the development of a large new residential tower. San Francisco Chronicle reporter Laura Waxmann captured last week's scene in a photo she shared on X, which has since sparked pushback from social media users frustrated by the city's housing market.
...
San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Bilal Mahmood said the photo of the meeting symbolized a generational divide. "We have a deep affordability crisis right now, and younger generations are calling BS now both on NIMBYs who will find any excuse to oppose housing, as well as on our city's lack of action," Mahmood wrote in an X post over the weekend, using the acronym for "not in my backyard."
...
Although the San Francisco Planning Department has not yet approved the proposal, the mixed-use development has drawn fierce opposition from many residents. They are concerned that the development will increase traffic, cause environmental issues, and redefine the neighborhood's character. "It has become a test of how California's state housing laws affect local planning, environmental review, and whether communities still have a meaningful voice in shaping their neighborhoods," a flyer advertising the community meeting said.
