Retail is dead? No. It’s only dead in downtown SF where CAR FREE is. Serramonte & Stones are packed. As locals, it’s sad that we can’t shop locally bc of crazy SF policies that’r anti-car anti-families anti-biz & pro criminals, closed/slowed street gangs, bike/transit/walkSF nuts

The No on G campaign was all lies. You are so good at bullying a mother with kids who live in the Sunset for decades.

"The Yes campaign was filled with misleading narratives about the spending habits of Bay Area transit agencies, promises of accountability measures that lack meaningful independence, and frightening predictions of traffic Armageddon if voters rejected the tax. These were carefully crafted public relations messages designed to convince voters that higher taxes were the only alternative to transit collapse."

Incredible leader @SelenaC10705. I will follow you any time again.
I just got off work and haven't had a chance to read all the comments yet, but I do want to respond to a few of them.
Our volunteers worked incredibly hard. Some went back out carrying heavy bags of campaign literature and window signs while the cuts and bruises on their shoulders were still healing. They'd switch shoulders when one got too sore and keep going.
These are people with jobs to report to and loved ones to care for. Some parents brought their children with special needs along to canvass because they didn't have childcare. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated group of volunteers. For years, they've shown up for one voice after another, giving up their own time to speak up for their neighbors and hold City Hall accountable.
We knew from the start that Prop G would be an uphill battle. We wanted a town hall in D4 so neighbors could be heard before major decisions, and we ended up having to make our case across all 11 districts in a citywide election. We didn't ask for it in 2024. We expected our public servant to hold a town hall, listen to constituents, and respect their concerns. That didn't happen. D4 was bypassed.
A citywide campaign takes money to reach voters and reinforce the message, and it takes many people who can do that work full time for months. We knew the odds and kept going because we believed it was worth trying. We gave it everything we could with what we had.
Please think about how much volunteers gave before saying they should have tried harder. Please show some kindness.
Thank you in advance. 🙏

I should point out that after all the money spent and with all the harrumphing today, as I type this it appears D1 and D4 still voted to reopen the road M-F, about 53/47 for each district.
Given the dept of elections, the final vote tally should be ready in 2033.

The citywide vote on Prop G was decisive. But not across the city. sfchronicle.com/election/art…

Before and after.
Because free speech is under siege in Hayes Valley we have issued a statement: hvsafe.com/5qq5
This is not about one poster. It’s about what that moment revealed.

Top 10 donors to No on G.
Each donor is a founder, executive or partner at one of these companies. Except Lucas Lux (executive director of Friends of the Sunset Dunes); he’s in charge of legal counsel for Google’s massive high-profile contracts and partnerships.
The combined total valuation of these companies is approximately $5.25 trillion!
I guess it’s “progressive” now to align with tech oligarchs in their takeover of SF… as long as you can stick it to some Chinese grandmas. A true underdog story!
Another reason I’m voting YES on G.

Commuters on the westside of SF lose an estimated $3.4M worth of time each year in spillover traffic. And this is a conservative estimate.
Yes on G fixes this by opening Great Highway on the weekdays, while keeping Sunset Dunes closed to traffic on the weekends.

Already bumper to bumper traffic on 19th Ave. People are heading to work.
Election Day. Vote YES on G. Share and Compromise.

One more reason I'm voting YES on G
Manny Yekutiel's zionist Civic Joy Fund is financially propping up Sunset Dunes!
Here's the 2024 tax return from Civic Space Foundation (aka "Civic Joy Fund"), where they donated $25,000 to the Great Highway Park (aka Sunset Dunes).

A quick review of Scott Wiener's voting record shows that while he pays lip service to "affordability" he is responsible for you having less $ in your pocket every month...
Scott's decisions are costing you $20 (low-income) to $300 (middle income to higher) per month. ($240 to $3,600 annually).
AND, if you have a gas heater that you need to tranisition to electric that will cost you $45K in a lump sum.
Scott does not give a rat's patoot about what you can "afford" - he only cares about more $$ to the government coffers.

Turns out bike lanes really are "white lanes". At least that's the case in SF.
Here’s primary commute mode by race for everyone working in SF. The data shows SF’s road closures disproportionately serve white people. Everyone has to else has to foot the bill with longer commute times.
32% of white workers in SF work from home. Asian: 21%. Hispanic: 13%. Black: 11%.
Who’s still driving in the most? Hispanic: 53%. Black: 48%. Asian: 42%.
Road closures in SF are a tax on people who can’t work from home or commute by bike.
The data: 37% of SF workers earning $300k+ work from home. Under $25k, it’s 15%. The people who still have to physically get to work are the ones at lower income brackets, and they’re also the ones most likely to be driving.
Every road closure sounds great from a home office. The cost is someone else's problem.

Just a reminder that an “Yes on G” vote is a vote on sharing our city and respecting each other. A vote for civility and normalcy.
We can all share our public resources!
CADC joins Yes on G to expand Great Highway for commute during weekdays to support everyday people to get to work & take care of their families, maintain park/beach access 24/7 & car-free on weekends. Prop G= pedestrian safety in the neighborhoods & on Great Highway. #YesonG

😡 CAUGHT: Anti-Compromise people cannot help themselves - this is a crime.
Prop G deals w this everyday. Well-funded anti-compromise crew sends people to tear down YES on G signs throughout the city... and then they lie about it.
ID this woman so she can be charged.
YES on G

This is disturbing. Sunset Dunes Supporter decided to take thing in her own hands. Removing Yes on G poster from Taraval business, and confronted by business.
Yes on G. Support the Compromise.
Scott_Wiener looks like chicken sheet!
🚨Scott Weiner opposes a national data center moratorium. His campaign is bankrolled by Silicon Valley oligarchs.🚨

They want us out.
First they want us burn alive to grab our land.
Then they want us dead stuck in traffic while wife having a baby.
Now they want us out living in perpetual traffic deadlock.
No to YIMBYs and their deep dark hate for everyday people.

If you were to look at a map of San Francisco, it’s easy to see that cutting off the only western traffic corridor that allows commuters to avoid Golden Gate Park would increase congestion.
Instead of spreading out traffic evenly the permanent closure of the Great Highway has created concentrated bottlenecks in other parks that have roads such as Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, and many across the city. A weekday compromise could help elevate congestion and increase overall walkability in one of the most park friendly cities in the US.

Sickos - the same group against Recall of Traitor Joel! Let’s make them lose again. #YesonG!
This is the people working "behind the scenes" with Stand with Joel. These are the same people behind the No on G campaign.
Notice any familiar names connected to PR agencies and active on Nextdoor? Some still are moderators. Many are affiliated with political connections and Bike Coalition. A few on Bike Advisory Committee.
