We backed the vote for housing — and held it to 32 feet.
Proof that more homes and human scale aren't a trade-off.
Affordable housing on the city's own sites, built to a human scale — and a council commitment to keep it there.

Latest from the campaign
Affordable homes, on land the city already owned.
Measure K asked voters to do something rare: build genuinely affordable rental homes on the city's own land — senior apartments at MLK Park, and homes for anyone who qualifies at the Corporation Yard. The city putting in the land, at little or no cost, is what keeps the rent within reach.
A rare chance — and the right site for it.
SOS saw Measure K as a rare chance to build affordable housing where it's vitally needed — especially for seniors, among the most vulnerable to being priced out of the town they call home. Because the city owns the land, it can reserve the majority of the homes for seniors — which privately owned sites can't be required to do. The site fits, too: flat, unlike most of hilly Sausalito, and close to transit and groceries.
We made the case, in person and across town.
SOS hosted a community forum — open to every side, with Mayor Joan Cox and Vice Mayor Steven Woodside making the case for the homes — then took it townwide: yard signs, newspaper ads, a steady stream of facts, and volunteers leafleting at the polls on election day.
