SAN FRANCISCO—A deep-pocketed organization on June 18 launched Blueprint for a Better San Francisco, an initiative with a $2 million annual budget, aiming to stop progressive ideology from gaining ground in the city.

Blueprint engages people via podcast, social media, and community meetings, calling for moderate solutions and pragmatism rather than ideology in city government. The initiative is a project of Neighbors for a Better San Francisco (shortened as Neighbors) and mostly evolved from TogetherSF, a former sister organization of Neighbors that merged with the organization earlier this year.
