Nov 2019 voter guide


San Francisco City and County Propositions:

A: Yes - Housing bonds
B: Yes - Renaming an agency and earmarking three seats
C: No - Would overturn citizen passed Vape law. Prop C was written by JUUL and is opposed by nearly everyone including now JUUL which just withdrew its support under a new CEO.
D: Yes - Tiny tax on Uber and Lyft to reduce traffic and improve public transit - Supported by the SF Bike Coalition, Sierra Club, Mayor Breed, all 11 Supervisors, Walk San Francisco and SF Transit Riders. I think this small tax is a useful first step worth taking.
E: No - Affordable housing for teachers built on public land and open space - Additional affordable housing for teacher would be great, but this measure will open up public lands zoned as "open space" to development. Along with the SF Green Party I don't want new development on SF's already limited public open space.
