Prop D! The Mission Rock housing development is a big project on a parking lot & piers.
The publicized endorsement list here:
Ed Lee
Nancy Pelosi
Every member of the Board of Supervisors
“San Francisco Teachers and Firefighters” [I assume they mean their respective unions?]
San Francisco Democratic Party [voting along party lines is important you know]
Affordable Housing Alliance
The Affordable Housing Alliance is the interesting one to list here - there are ton of different housing/tenant activist groups in San Francisco. Is this one legit? Or does it just look good on the list?
I found a fascinating article about the AHA backing the Willie Brown machine (RIP Bay Guardian). Googling ‘”affordable housing alliance” san francisco’ brought up a couple generic press mentions and the aforementioned article. Oddly none of the articles mentioning the group on SFGate I found through a search on that site showed up on Google, great strategy there SFGate folks. No real internet presence for this group.
If the Affordable Housing Alliance was an actual group or person advocating for affordable housing and tenants, I would expect them to have at least a minimum web presence. Between that and the apparent relationship with the establishment politics, this just looks like it’s on the flyer to look good and lead voters to believe their advocates favor this proposition.
