What happened
Mayor Daniel Lurie declared a "rent emergency" in San Francisco, citing that rents have increased over 25% in the past year and more than 1,000 evictions have been filed this year. Separately, Proposition E, proposed by Lurie, would significantly raise the financial thresholds for contracts that require approval from the Board of Supervisors.
Why it matters
The proposed changes to city governance, including Proposition E, would alter how city departments adopt technology and manage multimillion-dollar contracts.
