"Tech Millionaires' Battle to Reshape San Francisco"
Several influential nonprofits and political action committees in San Francisco, including Neighbors for a Better San Francisco Advocacy, are pouring millions into local campaigns, aiming to reshape the city's political landscape. These groups, backed by wealthy tech and real estate donors, are advocating for more police funding, harsher penalties for drug crime, support for housing developers, and the concentration of mayoral power. Major donors include individuals with ties to old money and real estate, as well as a newer group largely drawn from the tech industry. Their 2024 aims include influencing supervisorial elections, supporting ballot measures to loosen police restrictions, and enhancing mayoral power.
