San Francisco’s Yimby figurehead is Sonja Trauss, a self-described anarchist who runs the San Francisco Bay Area Renters Federation (SFBarf). Trauss has been covered by numerous national media outlets, and spends her days distributing literature, speaking at public hearings, and pulling hard-nosed political stunts, like trying to stack the anti-growth local Sierra Club chapter with her allies.
