Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, ostensibly an ally to Mayor London Breed, funded an effort to defeat her own housing bond.
that ostensibly supports Mayor London Breed’s goals made a political faux pas this week: It funded a voter guide that is opposing the mayor’s affordable housing bond on the March 5 ballot.
Board President Aaron Peskin, who is corralling donors to support Prop. A, said the message sent by Neighbors for a Better San Francisco was clear: “They want to save a few nickels on their property taxes” The donation from Neighbors to TakeActionSF was labeled as supporting California Proposition 1, a $6.4 billion mental health bond, and opposing San Francisco’s Proposition B, a measure to tie police staffing increases to identified future revenue.
“Historically we have failed to pass more bonds for affordable housing than we’ve passed,” said an affordable housing developer. “That’s just the truth.”
