San Francisco’s Proposition B carried 72.3% of the counted votes as of The City’s latest update Sunday, making it likely voters have approved a $390 million bond funding public-health facility upgrades, temporary housing and shelters, and improvements to streets and parks.
The measure needs a two-thirds majority to pass. It could’ve passed with 55% of the vote had California voters approved statewide Proposition 5, which had garnered 44% of the counted votes as of press time.
“Voters recognize these essential investments in our city’s infrastructure are a financially sound and smart investment that benefits everyone,” Mayor London Breed told The Examiner.
The measure earmarked $106 million for repairs, renovations and seismic retrofitting at Zuckerberg San Francisco General and Laguna Honda hospitals; $71.1 million to seismically retrofit and renovate Chinatown Public Health Center ; and another $28 million to relocate City Clinic, which provides an array of sexual-health services.
