Spring is right around the corner so if you are looking for a new place to explore, check out Mori Point.
Mori Point is located in Pacfica down the coast next to San Francisco, showcasing stunning views of the coast and beautiful flowers. It is a great place to enjoy the sunset or simply watch the waves of the Pacific washing onto the shores. Mori Point also features a hiking trail called Peak Loop Trail where visitors can see the restored native plants and wildlife. On a clear sunny day, visitors can also see the Golden Gate Bridge at the peak overlooking Pacifica. At the end of the trail, you can walk down Sharp Park Beach to enjoy the scenery.
Mori Point won’t be what it is today without its community involvement. Proposals in the past were unsuccessful as Pacifica residents opposed the idea of a casino or a hotel being built. With community involvement and restoration, the site now displays freshwater ponds featuring California red-legged frogs and San Francisco garter snakes that are currently endangered species.
If you are interested to visit Mori Point, parking is available at Mori Point Road and Bradford Way. With strong winds at the coast, dress accordingly. More Info HERE

We all know someone who has been affected by the current housing crisis. Too
many neighbors, childhood friends, teachers, and other people important to us
have left our Pacifica community due to limited housing options and high housing
costs.
The City of Pacifica's Planning Department is leading an
update to the Housing Element of the City’s General Plan to help address these
issues.
The Housing Element will plan for more housing in Pacifica for people at all
income levels, and identify other steps the City can take to address housing
affordability and access to quality housing.
Please join us and your neighbors at an upcoming community meeting to discuss
where new housing should be located. We need your input on strategies the City
can use to plan for nearly 2,000 new housing units over the next eight years.
Visit PlanPacifica.org to learn more about the Housing Element update and to
register for an upcoming community meeting.
The video above will provide some factual information about Pacifica’s Budget, Measure Y, and the upcoming Municipal Election on Nov 8.
This information, and more, is available on the City’s website at cityofpacifica.org
First, some budget information:
•Pacifica has a $47 Million dollar General Fund annual budget that funds most of the city’s day-to-day general services, such as Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks Beaches & Recreation, Planning, and Administration
•86% of this funding is spent on the personnel (65%) or contract services (21%) that provide these day-to-day general services.
•70% of this funding comes from taxes such as property tax, sales tax, hotel tax, utility tax, business license tax, cannabis tax and more
•But as this chart of revenues and expenditures shows, the rising cost of providing general services is currently projected to outpace revenues by approximately $2.7 million dollars per year into the future
•This is known as a structural budget deficit, and presents a financial challenge in sustaining the City’s current level of essential services into the future.
In response to the budget challenges just summarized, and following community input on City priorities, in June the City Council unanimously approved placing Measure Y on the November 8, 2022 ballot to address community priorities such as public safety, jobs and business attraction, and protecting local resources, parks, and beaches, and maintaining fiscal stability by generating locally controlled funding that will stay in Pacifica and cannot be taken by the State.
Here’s the official Measure Y Ballot Question.
In summary, Measure Y, if passed by the voters, would establish a ½ cent sales tax, called a transactions and use tax, and would generate approximately $2.6 million annually for 9 years, for general government use to maintain vital services such as:
Police, fire, medical 911 emergency response, keeping pollution and trash off beaches, attracting and retaining jobs and businesses, street paving, storm drain maintenance to prevent flooding, and preventing coastal erosion. Measure Y funding would be subject to regular financial audits and independent citizens’ oversight.
