San Mateans for Affordable Homes

Vote no on Measure Y. We believe in affordable homes for our teachers, first responders, grocery store workers and future generations. #NOonY

Officially too close to call, but we are ahead! “If Measure Y fails, there would be a new consensus in San Mateo that more housing is needed to build a more vibrant, inclusive and sustainable San Mateo,” Leora Tanjutco Ross, associate director for @hlc_sanmateo said.

"A broad coalition is now battling to end thirty years of anti-housing policies. Measure Y and its predecessors have prevented affordable housing from being built in the city." - @beyondchron Who is in this forward-thinking group?

Why No on Measure Y? "San Mateo has a chance to reverse decades of elitist, racist and climate destructive housing policies. The eyes of the nation are on San Mateo to do the right thing." #NoonMeasureY

Last slide - California Democratic Renters Council West Bay endorsements. San Francisco has bond, youth voting, transfer tax, and social housing measures. On the Peninsula, we've endorsed @James4SSF and @amourence1, and opposing Measure Y in San Mateo. "1990 was 30 years ago"
