Proposition F is perhaps the first Ballot Measure in recent history that will empower all hard working people that want to live in San Francisco and have a say on matters pertaining to Housing and Quality of Life issues.

We must not permit Big Developers and especially Rogue Developers like the Lennar Corporation to come into our community - take over large areas and rip off the community.

San Francisco must not become a City where only millionaires can afford to live - while hard working ordinary people in the Service Industry and other such industries are forced to move out of San Francisco and daily commute to make a living.

San Francisco must retain families and stop the bleeding of thousands of decent families that have left San Francisco after contributing so much all these years.

We must remember this land, all of it was stolen from the Muwekma Ohlone the First People of San Francisco. I represent them.

Those thugs that think they can get away with murder in broad daylight - better think twice.

Proposition F stand for Fairness. It also stands for Fortitude and our Future.
