Position Papers
Addressing the Homeless Crisis
Matt Tuchow supported and campaigned for Mayor Newsom's homeless plan. He sees the homeless everyday at Ocean Beach, along the Park Presidio Boulevard greenway, and in Golden Gate Park. He believes we need to treat the homeless with compassion and respect and at the same time seek real solutions that reduce the negative impacts on the community of homelessness.
Improving Public Schools
Matt Tuchow believes our children should be able to attend their neighborhood public schools and should be safe and secure while in school and traveling to and from school. Matt will lead the fight to green our schoolyards, replacing much of the asphalt with trees and green surfaces. This not only would be healthier for our children but also would be more attractive for the surrounding neighborhood.
