In the lead-up to the city's election, San Francisco's political scene is marked by intense rivalry and criticism among its leaders. Democratic Socialist Supervisor Dean Preston faces opposition from the city's moderate faction, questioning his reputation as he heads into a challenging reelection battle. Meanwhile, Mayor London Breed and a group of activists have openly criticized Supervisor Aaron Peskin ahead of his anticipated mayoral run. "I'm sick of his shenanigans," said Breed, expressing her frustration with Peskin's actions, particularly his amendments to a housing bill, which, according to YIMBY activists, have rendered it ineffective. Additionally, Peskin's stance on housing and development issues, including his opposition to a redevelopment project in Pacific Heights and his introduction of an ordinance imposing density limits in parts of North Beach, has drawn further ire from both activists and Mayor Breed.
“Peskin was the sole vote in supporting opposition to a redevelopment project in Pacific Heights. And at the end of the month, an ordinance introduced by Peskin passed that imposes density limits on certain neighborhoods of North Beach.” 🤦🏻♀️ https://t.co/LoWLuhIJPw
