Conservative pundit C.W. Nevius tried to scare San Franciscans into thinking that without Lennar, the financially troubled developer behind Proposition G, Bayview residents’ hopes of a renewed community will be lost forever.
Lennar’s Proposition G is non-binding and guarantees ABSOLUTELY nothing to a community long-neglected by developers and our City. Recently, Lennar negotiated yet another non-binding agreement that raises the levels to 35%.
Lennar said unequivocally they couldn’t build more than 25% affordable housing. With enormous community support for Proposition F, they’ve raised it to 35% in another non-binding agreement. Proposition F creates a binding agreement through City law, not developer’s promises, so that Bayview can TRULY benefit. Lennar’s spent $3 million to defeat Prop F—to line their own pockets, not to help families stay in our City.
If political pressure raises the levels of affordable housing for Bayview residents and keeps families in SF, then keep it up! Proposition F will force Lennar to give back to Bayview Hunters Point, from which they stand to make BILLIONS. Without it, the only thing we’re guaranteed is more broken promises and non-binding agreements. Vote Yes on Proposition F!
