Measure B: Establishing a Municipal Finance Corporation and a Public Bank
YES ON PROP B: Public Bank
Prop B creates the legal framework for a Public Bank (https://sfpublicbank.org/) that will prioritize funding affordable housing, small business development, and climate sustainability. A public bank will serve the needs of San Franciscans and make money available for things our communities need that commercial banks don't prioritize!

Measure I: Changes to Real Property Transfer Tax
YES ON PROP I: Affordable Housing Guarantee Act

This is money we already raise from an existing tax! Prop I guarantees that these voter-approved funds are actually spent on affordable housing, innovative social housing for all income levels, rent relief, and eviction defense to keep families housed!
