Elections can turn up the heat — different values, competing priorities, and strong opinions are fuel to the fire. Just keep reminding yourself that elections matter a great deal, and so it makes sense that people go to extreme lengths to win them. Like you, I am also frustrated that "caring" about an election is used as a justification for some campaigns to be dishonest, unethical, and divisive. But I promise you that there are campaigns and advocacy groups for every issue on your ballot, doing great work. I encourage you to get involved. Your vote matters.

But EVNA isn't going to tell you how to vote. Our board believes we should play a different role. This neighborhood is a place people point to — not just here in San Francisco, but around the world — as proof that a community can hold its differences and still show up for each other with love. That's worth protecting on election day and every other day of the year.

Eureka Valley Commercial & Castro Village LGBTQ+ Historic District would cover the 400 and 500 blocks of Castro Street and several blocks on adjoining streets. Various properties within that boundary have been identified by planning officials as contributing to the historical significance of the neighborhood, as detailed on a map of it found online.

Fifty-two buildings have been identified as adding to the neighborhood’s development as a commercial corridor and “streetcar suburb” outside downtown San Francisco beginning in 1879 and running through 1932. It was largely due to the public transit line that runs along Market Street and now ends on 17th Street in Jane Warner Plaza at the intersection with Castro and Market streets.

Forty-six buildings within the proposed historic district have been pegged as helping to transform what had been an Italian working-class neighborhood into a thriving gayborhood by the 1970s, with the first known gay and le***an residents moving into what was then known as Eureka Valley in 1953. While the city has 14 landmark districts, the one in the Castro would be the first established in recognition of a specific underserved community, noted senior preservation planner Alex Westhoff during the meeting held September 8 to present the plan to the public.

Gay District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman is moving forward with designating the heart of the city’s LGBTQ Castro neighborhood as a historic district.
