Prop A, Retiree Supplemental Cost of Living Adjustment; Retirement Board Contract with Executive Director – YES
These people deserve the benefits; should have happened sooner.
Prop B, Public Works Dept and Commission, Sanitation and Streets Dept and Commission – No Position
Prop C, Homelessness Oversight Commission – No Position
Prop D, City Approval of Affordable Housing – NO
The new YIMBY plan to build affordable housing: just redefine “affordable” to mean “affordable to rich people.” Opposed by Race & Equity, Anti-Displacement Coalition, United Educators, Housing Equity, the Tenants Union, PODER, and many more.
Prop E, Affordable Housing Production Act – No Position
A better competing bill than D, but still might encourage demolition of currently affordable housing, causing displacement. On the other hand, if E gets more votes, it nullifies D.
Prop F, Library Preservation Fund – YES
Extends the current set-aside.
Prop H, Elections in even numbered years – YES
Join Common Cause and LWV in fighting election fatigue.
Prop I, Uses of the Great Highway and JFK Drive – NO
Ten years ago, the city adopted a plan to prevent the west side’s sewage treatment facilities from falling into the ocean as a result of climate change. This bill does away with that plan, putting taxpayers on the hook for $80 million to come up with a new one. It would also reopen JFK and the Great Highway to car traffic as they were before the pandemic.
Prop J, Golden Gate Park Access and Safety Program – YES
This would keep a portion of JFK drive and connecting streets closed seven days a week for recreational purposes, essentially as they are now. It would have no effect on the Great Highway, which would also continue to operate as presently.
Prop L, Transportation Sales Tax – No Position
Yes, we are still a transit-first organization and generally support MUNI; however some of our members feel the SFCTA, MUNI’s oversight body, does not have a good plan and is spending our money badly. They feel a NO vote would send them a message. I any case, the half-cent sales tax still goes on for another eight years.
Prop M, Tax on Keeping Residential Units Vacant – YES
San Francisco has a housing crisis AND 40,000 units being kept vacant. This initiative would tax those units (with some exceptions) and use the money to build affordable housing.
Prop N, Golden Gate Park Underground Parking Facility; Golden Gate Park Concourse Authority – YES
Give the city the power to set reasonable rates for the parking garage.
Prop O, Additional Parcel Tax for City College – YES |
