The Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council (HANC) is holding a meeting tomorrow night to address the housing crisis in San Francisco.

The meeting will be at Park Branch Library tomorrow at 7pm in the Community Room. They'll have some guests to discuss the decline in affordable housing in the city: Ted Gullikson, Director of the SF Tenants Union, Gen Fujioka, Chinatown Community Development Center; Past Director, Asian Law Caucus, & Sara Short, Executive Director, Housing Rights Committee of SF. They're calling the meeting, you guessed it, "The Rent is too Damn High." In their monthly newsletter, HANC points out what you probably already know: San Francisco is now officially the most expensive place to rent in the US.

This is not the first time we have achieved this distinction but it comes during a period of declining real wages for many middle, lower- and fixed-income people who make up a disproportionate number of renter households in San Francisco. The crisis, while new, seems far more alarming and destructive, demanding far reaching policy changes.

They urge you to bring your questions and ideas, and help them work toward solutions.
