2012 Condo Lottery and Rally
Ticket sales for the 2012 Condo Conversion Lottery end this Friday, January 20th, 2012 at 4:45PM (additional information can be found here). The lottery itself will be held on Wednesday, February 1, 2011, at 9AM in Room #400 of City Hall.
Plan C San Francisco, in conjunction with the Small Property Owners of San Francisco, will be sponsoring a rally for condo conversion reform on the steps of City Hall at 8:15AM prior to the lottery. We need your attendance to make an impact. The rally lasts no longer than 30-45 minutes, so if you can be late to work one day in February, this is the day! Mark your calendars now.
The rally is one of your primary opportunities to bring attention to the fact that City Hall has failed to support homeownership for the thousands of people that seek it as a means of solidifying their place in our community.
If you are a first-time homeowner, or TIC owner, please take the time to attend this important event and to spread the word! Let’s show our city’s elected leaders that those seeking housing stability through ownership are the lifeblood of our city. You are the teachers, healthcare workers, public service employees, first responders, even members of our very own Board of Supervisors that are seeking to put down roots in our community. Public policy should be helping you to stay in San Francisco not harming you.
If you are not able to attend, we encourage you to contact the Mayor and city supervisors through our website. Write a note identifying yourself and tell them your story. Tell them that you support overall reform of the completely broken condo conversion process. Tell them that your only path to homeownership was through the purchase of a TIC but that the financial stability you seek won’t fully come until you can convert your shared interest into a condominium. Tell them that as a former renter you are tired of being ignored and vilified for pursuing the American dream.
