Ten Measures to Appear on Local Ballot, 2008
Here is what the SFAR is reporting on the upcoming local measures with regard to real estate:Ten Measures to Appear on Local Ballot
On June 3, 2008, voters in San Francisco will be confronted with eight local and two state initiatives on the local ballot. The Association’s Governmental Relations Committee, so far, has not recommended positions on the local measures to the Association’s board of directors but the California Association of REALTORS® is recommending positions on the two state initiatives.
Both of the initiatives deal with the subject of eminent domain. Proposition 98 is different than Proposition 99 in that the latter contains a provision designed to phase out rent control in the State.
For that reason, the State Association is recommending a “Yes” vote on Proposition 98 and a “No” vote on Proposition 99.
A list of the ballot measures is set forth below.
- A—School Parcel Tax
- B—Qualifications for Retiree Health and Pension Benefits
- C—Forfeiture of Retirement Benefits for Conviction of Crimes of Moral Turpitude
- D—Diversity on Boards and Commissions
- E—Requiring Board of Supervisors' Approval of Mayor's Appointments to the SF PUC
- F—Affordable Housing Requirement for Candlestick Point and Hunters Point Shipyard
- G—Mixed-Use Development Plan for Candlestick Point and Hunters Point Shipyard
- H—Candidate and Elected Official Contribution Restrictions
- 98—Government Acquisition, Regulation of Private Property
- 99—Eminent Domain, Acquisition of Owner-Occupied Residence
- SFAR
We will discuss each of these, both pro and con, in more detail in the next week or so.
