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.

That would make a lot more sense if prop c wasn't an entirely new funding source

but from her perspective (and she had only gotten elected into office like literally around the same time the signatures were gathered), many departmental needs could've been considered w/ that revenue source.

What are Wiener and Chiu’s excuses then?

they were probably following her lead. I don't know what she offered in return.
