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.

Hey
@kimmaicutler can you expand on that latter point for us?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

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.

She was involved in the Prop C process over a year prior to Prop C going on the ballot

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 mean we changed the tax structure at CoC's request. Also, we advocate for investments every year in the formal budget process. But we have seen with recent Mayors that intelligent investments aren't coming at the pace and to the level that we need(ed)

Of course, but advocates in other areas (like education, policing, arts etc.) are also probably saying similar things and the mayor is the executive who has to balance all those priorities. Without knowing CoC super well, I'm not sure what they would've agreed to...

Having looked at their leadership history... it seems like some of their leaders were involved in Frank Jordan's administration, which well, you know that administration's reputation on homelessness....

If only Breed had followed up opposing it by actually meeting its popular-vote-approved funding priorities rather than continuing to marginalize spending on youth and families
