2/3 of likely San Francisco voters support the idea of a public bank, a new poll shows.

Thatt’s a pretty dramatic outcome for an issue that isn’t even on the ballot.

San Francisco runs on transit. Every morning, the city's pulse flows through its veins: buses, streetcars, and trains.

But that heartbeat is now faltering.

The city should buy this portfolio and leverage Prop I revenue to make it happen. This would be consistent with the vision of the voters, the BOS, and our office in passing Prop I in 2020. Let’s seize the opportunity to jumpstart a real social housing program and do this now!
