If you can't be honest with yourself that Breed, Wiener, and Chiu kept at least 4% of voters from voting for Prop C, I don't know what to tell you. If they'd kept their mouths shut, Prop C wouldn't be held up in court right now. This money would be available YEARS sooner.https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1129410957195632641 …

Their opposition absolutely made at least 4% of a difference.

As a person who often agrees with Breed, Wiener and Chiu, especially when they are pushing to build more housing, it hurts to admit it but this is probably true. I've been pretty consistent that they made a disastrously wrong call on this particular endorsement last year.

That said, it's to Mayor Breed's credit that since it passed, she's been working to unlock the funding as soon as possible. I liked this proposal to secure some of the money sooner -- did the BOS end up voting to approve this idea?https://www.sfexaminer.com/the-city/sf-to-offer-financial-incentive-for-businesses-to-pay-homeless-tax-caught-up-in-litigation/ …

I thought their stance was politically unwise and I was also on the other side of Prop. C but I also understood why they did it. It's problematic when single advocacy groups can circumvent a comprehensive budgeting processes to get set- asides for themselves.

She had only just taken office and typically a budget process involves talking to every single dept and then making big picture, holistic decisions about where funding should go.

That said, I've also watched the depts (DHSH, DPH, etc.) for years, and know that they are grossly underfunded relative to need, which is why I supported your work. I'm just saying I get where she was coming from.
