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.

Involved is not the same thing as agreeing to it in the context of SF's larger budgetary/financial issues. I don't know CoC well, but I can see how they were never going to agree anyway.

I should also have been more specific with my language because CoH did not seek a set aside for *itself*. It sought a set aside for city departments it is often critical of, and yet are the crucial service providers in this year.
