🏘 We need homes for families, not luxury towers that sit empty. That's why we're voting #Yeson5 this November. ✅ If passed, Prop 5 would make it easier for our communities to upgrade roads, bridges and utilties that we need to thrive!

Yesterday's homeless encampment sweeps were cruel, inhumane, and pointless. Do Mayor @LondonBreed and @GavinNewsom not know how homelessness works? People will continue to be unhoused until rent is more affordable. sfstandard.com/2024/07/30/sa…
