ABC7 Coverage Props F and G








Watch the video.


Excerpt:

...Enter Prop. F. Supporters demand that half of the housing be affordable.

"Of course Lennar stands to make billions of dollars off of this development, so we think it's only fair that they give something back to the community," says Alicia Schwartz, a Prop. F supporter.

"A lot of families are having a hard time staying in San Francisco. They are getting pushed out and housing prices have the most to do with that," says Tom Jackson with Coleman Advocates for Youth and Families.

Opponents say Prop. F is designed to be a deal breaker. Lennar has said it will walk if Prop. F wins. Still, the Miami-based developer is not giving up.

Initially, Lennar said 25 percent of new homes would be built as affordable housing, but once they realized Prop. G was behind in the polls, they sweetened the deal to 32 percent.

On June 3rd, voters will decide the future of the area, hoping it will have a positive outcome on the community. Watch the Video and Read the whole story.
