The San Francisco Board of Supervisors recently approved Mayor London Breed's nomination of a gay man for a seat on the city's environmental commission.
Austin Hunter, a longtime member of the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club, told the Bay Area Reporter that he's eager to begin work on the panel, particularly around the city's climate action plan, or CAP.
And he said that the plan, which shapes how the city thinks about climate change through 2050, focuses on equity and access issues on a range of programs, including affordable housing. "What affordable housing looks like is one of the things CAP calls for," Hunter, 28, said in a June 22 phone interview.
