Why San Francisco should vote Yes on Prop I.

The Chamber of Commerce lost the fight over whether the wealthy would pay. Now it's fighting over where the money goes.

In a city with staggering wealth, we have to invest in what we say we care about. Prop I does that, providing money to build, buy and preserve homes that stay affordable for good, and it keeps tenants housed.

Prop C’s expansion of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which the board supports, is part of the same effort.

Vote yes on Props C and I.

Proposition I raises no new taxes and merely confirms the voters’ intentions when they passed the original Prop I in 2020 that the transfer tax on properties over $10 million should be dedicated to building and preserving low-cost or “affordable” housing.

The real 'slush fund' is what billionaires are spending to attack affordable housing

Prop C builds the foundation.
Prop I delivers money voters already approved.

San Francisco needs both to start building the affordable homes it has already said yes to.

On November 3, vote Yes on Prop C and Yes on Prop I.

Lurie, allies clash say it would create a “slush fund,” but measure's advocates deny the claim.

In a city where solutions to address the housing crisis are fiercely debated, a broad coalition is backing Proposition C, which would more than double the money San Francisco dedicates to building and preserving affordable housing each year.

A ‘big tent’ of local leaders is calling to dramatically increase funding to add to the San Francisco’s supply of affordable units.

Mayor Lurie declared a rent emergency on Sept. 10, and he was right to. Median rents are up nearly 26% in a year, the steepest jump in the country, and eviction notices are up 44 percent. Affordability is the No. 1 issue facing San Franciscans, and every argument about their future runs through it.

All of this makes Lurie's opposition to Proposition I hard to explain. Prop. I dedicates money to the very thing he declared an emergency about: affordable housing and eviction defense. You cannot name an emergency at 10 and call its funding fiscally irresponsible by noon.

San Francisco's Proposition I is a reasonable answer to the city's housing shortage, Quintin Mecke argues.

If the two affordable housing measures (Prop C and Prop I) on the November ballot don’t pass, San Francisco will run out of money for affordable projects in two years, leaving thousands of units unable to break ground.

Ten years of bond money is spent. The next bond isn't until 2034. Thousands of units will stall if the voters don't approve annual funding

The Mayor has named the emergency.
Voters can fund the way out of it.

We know how to build affordable housing in San Francisco. We proved it over the last ten years. The only question on this ballot is whether we keep funding it.

Vote Yes on C. Yes on I. Yes on Prop 1. No on 43.

San Francisco just declared a rent emergency. The money that builds affordable homes is running out, and the next housing bond isn't scheduled until 2034.
