Prop A is a bait-and-switch. I’m voting NO on A.

The red zone is NOT protected in a post-earthquake fire. Blue lines show earthquake-resistant hydrant lines.

A large quake would rupture standard pipes, rendering the red zone without water. This happened in 1906, killing ~3000 people.

This was supposed to be extended after voters approved the last THREE fire safety bills... they want $535M more dollars… after hundreds of millions have already been paid for by voters… only to get defunded every time.

On this 4th bill, fire safety’s a secondary line item after the muni bus yard. They’ll pull the funding again and run same scam on us if Prop A passes.

[Kim Chi @KimChiSpicey]

This article exposes Prop A for what it is. Another scammy slush fund.

Vote NO on A.

They want another $535M for earthquake safety. Voters already approved THREE of these bonds (2010, 2014, 2020). $1.44B has been spent… and the western and southern two thirds of the city STILL have no earthquake-resistant fire infrastructure for when “The Big One” hits.

Where’d the money go?
• Zero audits. No independent, internal, or annual audits, ever.
• Lurie’s on IG insisting the audits exist anyway.
• Three bonds in and two thirds of SF is still unprotected.

The new bond? $200M for a Muni BUS YARD. Only $130M for the actual high-pressure fire water system the west and south sides need. They’ll probably misappropriate the funds again anyway.

They need to write a separate muni bill and be honest about what it’s for. And deliver on the fire safety that voters already approved and paid for without another grift.

@KimChiSpicey You got that right, every single bit of it!

[John B. Crabtree @johnbcrabtree]

City Hall should stop lying to voters about Prop A. It won't keep anyone in San Francisco safe after a massive earthquake and the fires that will come. And the most recent Big Lie out of the Mayor's office is about audits and oversight... what B.S. there are no audits (independent or internal) and there sure as hell aren't annual audits. Total B.S. -- call them up yourself and ask for a copy of any audit of any ESER bond ever.

America has a problem holding government to account. No where is that more obvious than in San Francisco. No more deception. No more betrayals. No more City Hall slush funds. Let’s have Equal Fire Protection for All. Vote NO on Prop A!!!

I made an Inverse-GrowSF Voter Guide.

These are all the candidates GrowSF hates the most. And reasons to vote opposite of them on every ballot measure.

@Sam3SF @KimChiSpicey @GrowSF They even have wiggle room on Potrero Yard, $200 million will certainly go to Muni but there is room in the measure language to allow to go to a different Muni facility project

[John B. Crabtree @johnbcrabtree]

@KimChiSpicey @GrowSF Same here! Voting NO on Prop A

[John B. Crabtree @johnbcrabtree]

Too many broken promises. No, this bond won’t bring firefighting water to the Westside or the unprotected southern neighborhoods (e.g.D11) nor fix neighborhood fire stations in those places either - 16 years, 3 bonds, $1.44 billion & zero high-pressure hydrants, zero miles of firefighting pipe - heck, can’t get the fire stations fixed out here “in the county”. Vote NO on Prop A

[John B. Crabtree @johnbcrabtree]

Spot-on @KimChiSpicey - stop the lies, Vote No on Prop A

[Kim Chi @KimChiSpicey]

@GrowSF Why are you guys lying about the funding allocation for this? Fire safety infrastructure is secondary, and that was already approved by voters three times, and defunded by Scott Wiener’s old boss and mentor, Dennis Herrera at the SFPUC.

2 seismic retrofits completed, other 26 neighborhood fire stations had roof repairs, HVAC system installs or other more modest repairs (some extremely minor) that did virtually nothing to improve seismic safety ratings of those buildings. Similar work and completion rate for neighborhood police stations, in other words virtually nothing especially in the western and southern neighborhoods. DPW ESER public information webpages contain ZERO audits, either internal by city Controller or independent third party. There is no such thing as an “accountability report.” DPW makes annual and quarterly reports to CGOBOC which are available at DPW ESER public info website. ZERO emergency firefighting hydrants installed and ZERO miles of pipe laid, ZERO emergency firefighting water supply work completed for the unprotected western and southern neighborhoods. The only thing more suspect than the work DPW & PUC has “completed” are the accountability measures they post on these pages and laud in the Voter Information Pamphlet

[John B. Crabtree @johnbcrabtree]

Vote NO on Prop A!!! City Hall puts a bunch of reports on a website but has never done an audit of three ESER bonds over the last 16 years. But the Mayor and City Hall mislead voters in the Voter Information Pamphlet saying they do annual audits. 16 years, 3 ESER bonds, $1.44 billion borrowed (and spent) but they’ve never built a single high-pressure hydrant or laid a single mile of dedicated post-earthquake firefighting water pipe in the unprotected western and southern neighborhoods (2/3rds of the City). No more broken promises. No more blank checks. No more slush funds. Vote NO on Prop A
