Lurie Supports Proposition C to Boost San Francisco Housing Funds
What happened
Daniel Lurie has thrown his support behind Proposition C, a measure aimed at addressing the housing crisis in San Francisco. The proposal seeks to more than double the amount the city dedicates annually to building and preserving affordable housing. This initiative is supported by a broad coalition including Lurie, affordable housing advocates, building trade unions, and the board of supervisors.

Why it matters
The current annual allocation to the Housing Trust Fund stands at approximately $52 million, and the city will maintain these set-asides through 2043. Lurie stated that the cost of living in the area is severely challenging, a sentiment echoed by Quintin Mecke, who noted the crisis.
