"content": "\u003cp>A San Francisco ballot measure that sets data-privacy goals, but rankled transparency advocates, appears to be passing. As of 8:35 Wednesday morning, the count shows that 57 percent of the electorate voted to approve it, while 43 percent voted no. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition B, the Privacy First Policy of the City and County of San Francisco, was written by Supervisor Aaron Peskin and placed on the ballot by a unanimous vote of his colleagues. It would require the city administrator to create a framework to guide policy decisions when it comes to corporations collecting and storing people's data in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure had drawn over 56 percent of early vote-by-mail and election-day tallies, counting about 30 percent of the expected total. The opposition trailed with 43.21 percent of votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents touted the measure as a chance for San Francisco to lead on the issue of data privacy, and Proposition B is seen as striving for stronger protections than the state Consumer Privacy Act set to take effect in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government transparency advocates, local newspapers and journalism organizations opposed Proposition B over fears that a clause in the proposed charter amendment would allow city supervisors to amend — and potentially weaken — San Francisco's landmark open records law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposition defines the personal information it aims to protect as anything that “identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with a particular individual.” It specifically references both traditional data like “bank account numbers and health insurance information,” as well as things linked to the online world like “geolocation data and IP addresses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition B laid out 11 guidelines for protecting private data. Those guidelines included things like allowing individuals to access the personal data that's collected about them, and “de-identifying data” so that particular data points could not be traced back to individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a hub of tech innovation, San Francisco should be at the forefront of data privacy protections,” supporters wrote in official ballot arguments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opposition led by the Northern California Society of Professional Journalists and \u003ca href=\"https://www.rcfp.org/browse-media-law-resources/news/san-franciscos-proposition-b-poses-unnecessary-threat-government-tra\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">joined\u003c/a> by the national Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press wrote that the measure is \"a hollow effort to protect privacy\" that \"wouldn't give our elected officials the authority to do much, if anything to protect privacy that they can't do already.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Personal data has been at the center of numerous scandals inside the tech world over the last few years. In the last year alone, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/08/technology/google-plus-security-disclosure.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2018/10/12/facebook-hack-update-30-million-users-personal-information-stolen/1614394002/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook\u003c/a> and many others have had major leaks, exposing sensitive data of millions of users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is often one of the first places new Silicon Valley companies try our their new products and services. Everything from Lyfts, Ubers and scooters to robot delivery machines have rolled out on the city's streets. Collecting and monetizing personal data is often part of the business model of these Silicon Valley companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Media organizations like the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> and the \u003cem>San Francisco Examiner\u003c/em> criticized the proposition, saying it opened the door to tampering with the city’s Sunshine Laws, which allow journalists to trace individuals involved and doing business with the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said that critics were misreading the text. The proposition says its policy guidelines cannot be implemented in a way \"that is inconsistent with voter-approved ordinances regarding privacy, open meetings, or public records.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The opposition trailed with 43.21 percent of votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents touted the measure as a chance for San Francisco to lead on the issue of data privacy, and Proposition B is seen as striving for stronger protections than the state Consumer Privacy Act set to take effect in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government transparency advocates, local newspapers and journalism organizations opposed Proposition B over fears that a clause in the proposed charter amendment would allow city supervisors to amend — and potentially weaken — San Francisco's landmark open records law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>In the wake of the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook scandal, and a steady barrage of new data breaches, the public has been clamoring for tighter regulation of their personal information. At the heart of the tech industry, Bay Area residents are often the guinea pigs for startups, with unknown and unpredictable side effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition B would mandate that San Francisco create what supporters say would be the toughest data-protection policy of any U.S. city, and would go beyond California’s landmark Consumer Privacy Act. It would cover data collected both by government agencies and any private entity doing business with the city — from Facebook, Google and Uber, all the way down to a bike shop, toilet-paper supplier or street vendor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's time that San Francisco and the nation start actually evolving policies where your location can't be tracked without your consent,” said District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who authored Proposition B. “This is a teachable moment. San Francisco can lead the nation in privacy-first policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the \u003ca href=\"https://sfelections.sfgov.org/sites/default/files/Documents/candidates/Nov%202018/LT_B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposed Charter Amendment\u003c/a>, which was put on the ballot by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors, has split advocates and groups that are normally allies — and that otherwise enthusiastically support 99.9 percent of the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opposition is primarily coming from journalists and First Amendment watchdogs. They’re concerned that a small subsection of the measure, only 36 words long, could water down San Francisco’s legendary \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcityattorney.org/good-government/sunshine/sunshine-ordinance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunshine Ordinance\u003c/a>, which mandates transparency in city government. They argue — and Peskin and the city attorney dispute — that the language could give the mayor and Board of Supervisors the power to restrict access to public records, meetings and ordinance oversight without voters’ approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notably, there’s been no vocal objection from Silicon Valley, which appears to be holding its fire for the implementing legislation should the measure pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Guiding Principles\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>So what exactly does Proposition B propose? It contains 11 principles that would apply to city officials, departments, commissions, boards and “other entities”; all contractors and lease holders, and anyone with city-issued licenses, permits or grants. Many principles exceed the scope of the new state law, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>opting out of handing over personal data but still receive a company's services;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>the right to move about the city and not be tracked without consent;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>discouraging the collection of personal information regarding race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and other potentially “sensitive demographics”;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>anticipating and mitigating bias in data collection and the use of algorithms.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>But exactly what the policies would look like is still unknown. Should voters approve Proposition B, the principles would simply guide the city administrator in writing a new ordinance that would be presented to the Board of Supervisors by May 31, 2019. Public hearings would follow before the board voted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This proposition is just really a stepping stone,” said Sameena Usman, with the Bay Area Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR. The group has \u003ca href=\"https://ca.cair.com/sfba/updates/november-2018-city-county-ballot-measures/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endorsed\u003c/a> Proposition B, and is most interested in how any resulting privacy legislation would address surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have local cities that might be gathering this surveillance data and potentially sharing it with the federal government, that's very concerning,” she added, noting the Trump administration’s interest in tracking Muslims. Her hope is that Proposition B could lead to a separate surveillance ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703217\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11703217\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0.jpg 650w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0-375x282.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Theresa Buckley, an attorney with the San Francisco Treasurer and Tax Collector’s Office, appearing before the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force in early October. \u003ccite>(Noah Arroyo/San Francisco Public Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Big Desire for Digital Privacy\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Data protection remains a major issue in the Bay Area. A May 2018 Silicon Valley Leadership Group survey of 1,843 voters in five counties found that 86 percent were concerned about the security of the personal and financial data they’ve given to companies or placed online. More than two-thirds have had their data compromised, and more than half of the respondents supported more government regulation of how companies use that information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among all voters, 51 percent backed more regulation, 34 percent preferred about the same degree of regulation and 8 percent wanted less. Liberals were far more likely than conservatives to favor tighter regulations (57 percent versus 38 percent). Both about equally supported no change (38 percent for conservatives, 33 percent for liberals), while conservatives were six times more likely than liberals to want less government intervention (3 percent versus 18 percent). By comparison, a Reuters national poll in March found that 46 percent of adults supported increased regulation, 20 percent said current laws are sufficient and 17 percent wanted less regulation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In an ideal world, Congress would have taken this up, but most of the congressional action has not been helpful,” said Shahid Buttar, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “It has fallen to states and cities to innovate and to protect innovation and to protect user rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past few years, Oakland, Seattle and Chicago have adopted privacy programs. California legislators went further in June, passing the nation’s strongest privacy safeguards, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed. Taking effect in 2020, the \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB375\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Consumer Privacy Act\u003c/a> includes a European-style “right to erasure” of one’s personal information, and permits consumers to sue for damages after data breaches. But many advocates say more is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Right to Not Surrender Your Data\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Tech is neither good nor bad; it doesn't have a built-in morality,” said Peskin. “Right now, companies know literally everything about you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crucially, he added, whereas the \u003ca href=\"https://www.caprivacy.org/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state privacy law allows customers\u003c/a> to opt out of their information being sold, the principles in Proposition B allow opting out of that information being collected in the first place. Even if a consumer didn’t consent to share private financial or personal information, those companies would still be required to make their services available to San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you deny, you should not be denied the service,” Peskin said. “If you are not willing to accept their standards, you should still be able to use Facebook or to get your scooter ride.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The privacy policies of Skip and Scoot, which were recently granted permits to operate scooters in San Francisco, differ significantly on this point. While Scoot’s \u003ca href=\"https://scoot.co/legal/united-states/terms-of-service/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terms of service\u003c/a> state that customers “user name and profile picture may be publicly available and that search engines may index your name and profile photo,” Skip’s has an option more in line with Proposition B’s principles, allowing customers to “\u003ca href=\"https://skipscooters.com/privacy_policy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use the Services without providing us with information\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sfpublicpress.org/\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/sfpublicpress.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"488\" height=\"145\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-103769\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Should Proposition B prove successful ... it could go along way towards informing the kind of a regulatory frameworks you could see emerging from other jurisdictions,” said Buttar, of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who evaluated the measure while it was being drafted.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Enter the Opposition\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">First Amendment Coalition\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://spjnorcal.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Society of Professional Journalists Northern California\u003c/a> support Proposition B’s intention to enhance privacy protections, but are campaigning to defeat the measure because of concerns about potential harm to the city’s voter-approved Sunshine Ordinance and \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/sunshine/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its task force\u003c/a>, an 11-member body charged with protecting the public’s interest in open government. They’ve been joined in their opposition by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.lwvsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">League of Women Voters San Francisco\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://sflaborcouncil.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Labor Council\u003c/a>, among a dozen other groups. The \u003ca href=\"http://sfgreenparty.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Green Party\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgop.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republican Party\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.lpsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Libertarian Party\u003c/a> are also opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Task force chair Bruce Wolfe calls the ordinance “one of the strongest in the country, if not the world,” primarily because of the option of an “\u003ca href=\"https://sfbos.org/when-does-city-have-respond-my-request\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">immediate disclosure requirement\u003c/a>” — a 24-hour deadline for the city to provide requested information, and a focus on accountability of individuals, not just a particular department or agency. (Public Press Publisher Lila LaHood is a task force member.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reporter Matt Drange has first-hand experience with its benefits. He said that while doing a story on gunshot-surveillance technology for the Center for Investigative Reporting he was able to easily get data from the San Francisco Police Department that was not forthcoming from other Bay Area cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a definite pro-transparency culture that I think it's helped to shape,” said Drange, who co-chairs the Freedom of Information Committee of the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. “And that's what we're most concerned about losing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fear refers to one particular sentence in \u003ca href=\"https://sfelections.sfgov.org/sites/default/files/Documents/candidates/Nov%202018/LT_B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subsection (i)\u003c/a>, on the fifth page of Proposition B. Although the Sunshine Ordinance is not mentioned, it’s the reason those disputed 36 words were included, Peskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All parties agree that the 19-year-old ordinance needs to be updated, but because it was approved by voters, they would also have to authorize any changes. San Franciscans for Sunshine member Richard Knee \u003ca href=\"http://sfbayview.com/2018/09/hands-off-sfs-sunshine-ordinance-privacy-proponents-urge-no-on-prop-b/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote\u003c/a> that his group hopes to put a package of reforms on the November 2019 ballot. “But it’s a struggle because the group doesn’t have sufficient funds to gather enough voter signatures.” (Knee, a freelance copy editor for the Public Press, co-authored the official ballot argument against Proposition B.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most pressingly, one of the task force’s members must be nominated by New America Media, which was founded by legendary journalist Sandy Close and closed in November 2017. Until voters approve a change for that process, the seat will remain empty, hampering the body’s work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said the language in Subsection (i) would allow the Board of Supervisors to replace New America Media with another. The supervisors could also make other bureaucratic fixes to the overall ordinance should they arise. It reads:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... the Board of Supervisors is authorized by ordinance to amend voter-approved ordinances regarding privacy, open meetings, or public records, provided that any such amendment is not inconsistent with the purpose or intent of the voter-approved ordinance.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“We were trying to do a solid for the sunshine advocates,” said Peskin’s aide Lee Hepner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Language Matters\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But Sunshine advocates complained that they weren’t consulted on the wording.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The phrase “intent and purpose” is central to the debate, said First Amendment Coalition Executive Director David Snyder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a very subjective, squishy phrase,” said Snyder, who served as the Sunshine task force’s attorney from 2010 to 2012. “It's kind of a circular thing: ‘Consistent with the intent and purpose’ means whatever the Board of Supervisors deems to be ‘consistent with the intent and purpose.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added Drange, “Essentially it would give them the power to check themselves. We're handing over the authority that currently rests with the public and saying, Hey, if you guys want to make changes to the ordinance, go ahead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the First Amendment Coalition is officially opposed, Snyder still believes “the overall stated purposes and the overall purpose of Proposition B is a laudable one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I doubt that that sentence was put in there as a kind of intentional poison pill,” he added. “But the problem with wording like that is that it can ultimately be used that way, regardless of what the original intent was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said worries about an attack on the Sunshine Ordinance are unfounded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think they've misread it,” said Peskin of the journalists’ organization. “I respect them, but I think that their fears are misplaced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and the measure’s supporters, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdemocrats.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Democratic Party\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.theleaguesf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco League of Pissed Off Voters\u003c/a>, maintain that the language is clearly in support of open government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said the phrase “is not inconsistent with the purpose or intent of the voter-approved ordinance” means that no changes could be made to the task force, or the Sunshine Ordinance itself, that didn’t maintain its strength.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sentence is very clear,” Peskin told the Public Press. “It cannot in any way diminish the purposes of Sunshine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any notion that public records laws may be weakened is not only legally impossible, it is a distraction from the important privacy rights that Proposition B would advance,” he wrote in rebuttal to the opponents’ ballot argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office supported Peskin’s notion, saying that if Proposition B passes, “we will advise the City Administrator, Supervisors and Mayor about any proposed privacy ordinances that could impact the Sunshine Ordinance to help ensure they are consistent with the voters’ intent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Journalists Caught Off Guard\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But Drange said the journalists' organization was “caught off guard” in July when it learned how Proposition B might affect the task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was already on its way to the printer,” Drange said. “The ship had sailed in terms of trying to get it altered or get it removed.” The Society of Professional Journalists already submits names for two of the 11 task force seats, and had been part of previous conversations seeking a fix for the New America Media vacancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s bizarre that no one in government let us know,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drange said there have been “attacks on the task force” in the past, and he fears a future Board of Supervisors could change its makeup for political reasons, or in other unproductive ways. “They could add a representative for tech companies,” he suggested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a purge of many members of the task force back in 2012 who had a publicly disagreed with a couple of the supervisors at that time, and a couple high-profile cases,’ said Drange. “And then following that, the SPJ nominations for Task Force members in 2014 were actually delayed for months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Task force chair Wolfe said they were “not notified at all,” and also learned out about subsection i when it was too late to suggest different language. “We had to find out from members of the public and from open government advocates,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin’s office also pointed out that the measure’s text was publicly available for 60 days, and notes the irony that groups focused on transparency didn’t take advantage of that window.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tech Is on the Sidelines — Watching\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Facebook hasn’t taken a position on Proposition B. In a written statement, the company said, “We look forward to working with policymakers in San Francisco on finding approaches that protect people and support responsible innovation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hepner said Facebook and several other tech companies initially approached Peskin’s office when they heard a privacy policy was in the works. But they “stayed out of opposing it, probably because they would like to know how the trailing legislation forms” next spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation spoke with Peskin’s office during the drafting process but have taken no position on the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What may tip the balance for some who share concerns about governmental transparency but crave privacy protections is that Proposition B itself doesn’t change any laws. If voters approve, its impact would not be known until May, when the city administrator presents a fleshed out policy for supervisors to approve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the sake of expediency in getting some simple amendments changed,” the measure “could be helpful, ” said Wolfe, the chair of the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force. He said he’s “neutral” on the measure, “because the meat of it is so important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But “transparency is extremely important these days,” he added. “These laws are really important and they need to be protected with the utmost of care.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

At the heart of the tech industry, Bay Area residents are often the guinea pigs for startups, with unknown and unpredictable side effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition B would mandate that San Francisco create what supporters say would be the toughest data-protection policy of any U.S. city, and would go beyond California’s landmark Consumer Privacy Act. It would cover data collected both by government agencies and any private entity doing business with the city — from Facebook, Google and Uber, all the way down to a bike shop, toilet-paper supplier or street vendor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's time that San Francisco and the nation start actually evolving policies where your location can't be tracked without your consent,” said District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who authored Proposition B. “This is a teachable moment. San Francisco can lead the nation in privacy-first policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the \u003ca href=\"https://sfelections.sfgov.org/sites/default/files/Documents/candidates/Nov%202018/LT_B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposed Charter Amendment\u003c/a>, which was put on the ballot by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors, has split advocates and groups that are normally allies — and that otherwise enthusiastically support 99.9 percent of the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opposition is primarily coming from journalists and First Amendment watchdogs. They’re concerned that a small subsection of the measure, only 36 words long, could water down San Francisco’s legendary \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcityattorney.org/good-government/sunshine/sunshine-ordinance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunshine Ordinance\u003c/a>, which mandates transparency in city government. They argue — and Peskin and the city attorney dispute — that the language could give the mayor and Board of Supervisors the power to restrict access to public records, meetings and ordinance oversight without voters’ approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It contains 11 principles that would apply to city officials, departments, commissions, boards and “other entities”; all contractors and lease holders, and anyone with city-issued licenses, permits or grants. Many principles exceed the scope of the new state law, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>opting out of handing over personal data but still receive a company's services;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>the right to move about the city and not be tracked without consent;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>discouraging the collection of personal information regarding race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and other potentially “sensitive demographics”;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>anticipating and mitigating bias in data collection and the use of algorithms.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>But exactly what the policies would look like is still unknown. Should voters approve Proposition B, the principles would simply guide the city administrator in writing a new ordinance that would be presented to the Board of Supervisors by May 31, 2019. Public hearings would follow before the board voted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This proposition is just really a stepping stone,” said Sameena Usman, with the Bay Area Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR. The group has \u003ca href=\"https://ca.cair.com/sfba/updates/november-2018-city-county-ballot-measures/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endorsed\u003c/a> Proposition B, and is most interested in how any resulting privacy legislation would address surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have local cities that might be gathering this surveillance data and potentially sharing it with the federal government, that's very concerning,” she added, noting the Trump administration’s interest in tracking Muslims. Her hope is that Proposition B could lead to a separate surveillance ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703217\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11703217\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0.jpg 650w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0-375x282.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/sunshine_0-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Theresa Buckley, an attorney with the San Francisco Treasurer and Tax Collector’s Office, appearing before the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force in early October. \u003ccite>(Noah Arroyo/San Francisco Public Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Big Desire for Digital Privacy\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Data protection remains a major issue in the Bay Area. A May 2018 Silicon Valley Leadership Group survey of 1,843 voters in five counties found that 86 percent were concerned about the security of the personal and financial data they’ve given to companies or placed online. More than two-thirds have had their data compromised, and more than half of the respondents supported more government regulation of how companies use that information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among all voters, 51 percent backed more regulation, 34 percent preferred about the same degree of regulation and 8 percent wanted less. Liberals were far more likely than conservatives to favor tighter regulations (57 percent versus 38 percent). Both about equally supported no change (38 percent for conservatives, 33 percent for liberals), while conservatives were six times more likely than liberals to want less government intervention (3 percent versus 18 percent). By comparison, a Reuters national poll in March found that 46 percent of adults supported increased regulation, 20 percent said current laws are sufficient and 17 percent wanted less regulation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In an ideal world, Congress would have taken this up, but most of the congressional action has not been helpful,” said Shahid Buttar, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “It has fallen to states and cities to innovate and to protect innovation and to protect user rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past few years, Oakland, Seattle and Chicago have adopted privacy programs. California legislators went further in June, passing the nation’s strongest privacy safeguards, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed. Taking effect in 2020, the \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB375\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Consumer Privacy Act\u003c/a> includes a European-style “right to erasure” of one’s personal information, and permits consumers to sue for damages after data breaches. But many advocates say more is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Right to Not Surrender Your Data\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Tech is neither good nor bad; it doesn't have a built-in morality,” said Peskin. “Right now, companies know literally everything about you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crucially, he added, whereas the \u003ca href=\"https://www.caprivacy.org/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state privacy law allows customers\u003c/a> to opt out of their information being sold, the principles in Proposition B allow opting out of that information being collected in the first place. Even if a consumer didn’t consent to share private financial or personal information, those companies would still be required to make their services available to San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you deny, you should not be denied the service,” Peskin said. “If you are not willing to accept their standards, you should still be able to use Facebook or to get your scooter ride.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The privacy policies of Skip and Scoot, which were recently granted permits to operate scooters in San Francisco, differ significantly on this point. While Scoot’s \u003ca href=\"https://scoot.co/legal/united-states/terms-of-service/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terms of service\u003c/a> state that customers “user name and profile picture may be publicly available and that search engines may index your name and profile photo,” Skip’s has an option more in line with Proposition B’s principles, allowing customers to “\u003ca href=\"https://skipscooters.com/privacy_policy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use the Services without providing us with information\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sfpublicpress.org/\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/sfpublicpress.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"488\" height=\"145\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-103769\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Should Proposition B prove successful ... it could go along way towards informing the kind of a regulatory frameworks you could see emerging from other jurisdictions,” said Buttar, of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who evaluated the measure while it was being drafted.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Enter the Opposition\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">First Amendment Coalition\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://spjnorcal.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Society of Professional Journalists Northern California\u003c/a> support Proposition B’s intention to enhance privacy protections, but are campaigning to defeat the measure because of concerns about potential harm to the city’s voter-approved Sunshine Ordinance and \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/sunshine/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its task force\u003c/a>, an 11-member body charged with protecting the public’s interest in open government. They’ve been joined in their opposition by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.lwvsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">League of Women Voters San Francisco\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://sflaborcouncil.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Labor Council\u003c/a>, among a dozen other groups. The \u003ca href=\"http://sfgreenparty.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Green Party\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgop.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republican Party\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.lpsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Libertarian Party\u003c/a> are also opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Task force chair Bruce Wolfe calls the ordinance “one of the strongest in the country, if not the world,” primarily because of the option of an “\u003ca href=\"https://sfbos.org/when-does-city-have-respond-my-request\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">immediate disclosure requirement\u003c/a>” — a 24-hour deadline for the city to provide requested information, and a focus on accountability of individuals, not just a particular department or agency. (Public Press Publisher Lila LaHood is a task force member.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reporter Matt Drange has first-hand experience with its benefits. He said that while doing a story on gunshot-surveillance technology for the Center for Investigative Reporting he was able to easily get data from the San Francisco Police Department that was not forthcoming from other Bay Area cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a definite pro-transparency culture that I think it's helped to shape,” said Drange, who co-chairs the Freedom of Information Committee of the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. “And that's what we're most concerned about losing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fear refers to one particular sentence in \u003ca href=\"https://sfelections.sfgov.org/sites/default/files/Documents/candidates/Nov%202018/LT_B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subsection (i)\u003c/a>, on the fifth page of Proposition B. Although the Sunshine Ordinance is not mentioned, it’s the reason those disputed 36 words were included, Peskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All parties agree that the 19-year-old ordinance needs to be updated, but because it was approved by voters, they would also have to authorize any changes. San Franciscans for Sunshine member Richard Knee \u003ca href=\"http://sfbayview.com/2018/09/hands-off-sfs-sunshine-ordinance-privacy-proponents-urge-no-on-prop-b/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote\u003c/a> that his group hopes to put a package of reforms on the November 2019 ballot. “But it’s a struggle because the group doesn’t have sufficient funds to gather enough voter signatures.” (Knee, a freelance copy editor for the Public Press, co-authored the official ballot argument against Proposition B.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most pressingly, one of the task force’s members must be nominated by New America Media, which was founded by legendary journalist Sandy Close and closed in November 2017. Until voters approve a change for that process, the seat will remain empty, hampering the body’s work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said the language in Subsection (i) would allow the Board of Supervisors to replace New America Media with another. The supervisors could also make other bureaucratic fixes to the overall ordinance should they arise. It reads:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... the Board of Supervisors is authorized by ordinance to amend voter-approved ordinances regarding privacy, open meetings, or public records, provided that any such amendment is not inconsistent with the purpose or intent of the voter-approved ordinance.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“We were trying to do a solid for the sunshine advocates,” said Peskin’s aide Lee Hepner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Language Matters\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But Sunshine advocates complained that they weren’t consulted on the wording.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The phrase “intent and purpose” is central to the debate, said First Amendment Coalition Executive Director David Snyder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a very subjective, squishy phrase,” said Snyder, who served as the Sunshine task force’s attorney from 2010 to 2012. “It's kind of a circular thing: ‘Consistent with the intent and purpose’ means whatever the Board of Supervisors deems to be ‘consistent with the intent and purpose.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added Drange, “Essentially it would give them the power to check themselves. We're handing over the authority that currently rests with the public and saying, Hey, if you guys want to make changes to the ordinance, go ahead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the First Amendment Coalition is officially opposed, Snyder still believes “the overall stated purposes and the overall purpose of Proposition B is a laudable one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I doubt that that sentence was put in there as a kind of intentional poison pill,” he added. “But the problem with wording like that is that it can ultimately be used that way, regardless of what the original intent was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said worries about an attack on the Sunshine Ordinance are unfounded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think they've misread it,” said Peskin of the journalists’ organization. “I respect them, but I think that their fears are misplaced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and the measure’s supporters, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdemocrats.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Democratic Party\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.theleaguesf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco League of Pissed Off Voters\u003c/a>, maintain that the language is clearly in support of open government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said the phrase “is not inconsistent with the purpose or intent of the voter-approved ordinance” means that no changes could be made to the task force, or the Sunshine Ordinance itself, that didn’t maintain its strength.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sentence is very clear,” Peskin told the Public Press. “It cannot in any way diminish the purposes of Sunshine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any notion that public records laws may be weakened is not only legally impossible, it is a distraction from the important privacy rights that Proposition B would advance,” he wrote in rebuttal to the opponents’ ballot argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office supported Peskin’s notion, saying that if Proposition B passes, “we will advise the City Administrator, Supervisors and Mayor about any proposed privacy ordinances that could impact the Sunshine Ordinance to help ensure they are consistent with the voters’ intent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Journalists Caught Off Guard\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But Drange said the journalists' organization was “caught off guard” in July when it learned how Proposition B might affect the task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was already on its way to the printer,” Drange said. “The ship had sailed in terms of trying to get it altered or get it removed.” The Society of Professional Journalists already submits names for two of the 11 task force seats, and had been part of previous conversations seeking a fix for the New America Media vacancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s bizarre that no one in government let us know,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drange said there have been “attacks on the task force” in the past, and he fears a future Board of Supervisors could change its makeup for political reasons, or in other unproductive ways. “They could add a representative for tech companies,” he suggested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a purge of many members of the task force back in 2012 who had a publicly disagreed with a couple of the supervisors at that time, and a couple high-profile cases,’ said Drange. “And then following that, the SPJ nominations for Task Force members in 2014 were actually delayed for months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Task force chair Wolfe said they were “not notified at all,” and also learned out about subsection i when it was too late to suggest different language. “We had to find out from members of the public and from open government advocates,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin’s office also pointed out that the measure’s text was publicly available for 60 days, and notes the irony that groups focused on transparency didn’t take advantage of that window.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tech Is on the Sidelines — Watching\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Facebook hasn’t taken a position on Proposition B. In a written statement, the company said, “We look forward to working with policymakers in San Francisco on finding approaches that protect people and support responsible innovation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hepner said Facebook and several other tech companies initially approached Peskin’s office when they heard a privacy policy was in the works. But they “stayed out of opposing it, probably because they would like to know how the trailing legislation forms” next spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation spoke with Peskin’s office during the drafting process but have taken no position on the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What may tip the balance for some who share concerns about governmental transparency but crave privacy protections is that Proposition B itself doesn’t change any laws. If voters approve, its impact would not be known until May, when the city administrator presents a fleshed out policy for supervisors to approve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the sake of expediency in getting some simple amendments changed,” the measure “could be helpful, ” said Wolfe, the chair of the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force. He said he’s “neutral” on the measure, “because the meat of it is so important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The state of California's legal battle to overturn a San Francisco waterfront development measure is still alive after a judge on Wednesday denied a city motion to dismiss the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit by the California State Lands Commission challenges \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/City_of_San_Francisco_Voter_Approval_of_Waterfront_Construction_Exceeding_Height_Limits_Initiative,_Proposition_B_%28June_2014%29\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition B\u003c/a>. The commission says the measure violates state law by usurping the Port of San Francisco's authority over 7.5 miles of waterfront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission also argues that by limiting the port's ability to develop its properties, granted to the city under the 1968 Burton Act, Prop. B interferes with the state's long-established interest in how the waterfront is used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative, passed by 59 percent of voters last June, requires developments to get voter approval if they exceed height limits of between 40 and 80 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Proposition B takes a portion of legislative authority away from the port. Not only does it set in stone height limits today, it takes away the future ability of the port to change those height limits without coming and getting approval of the people of the city of San Francisco,\" California Deputy Attorney General Joseph Rusconi argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Deputy City Attorney Christine Van Aken defended Prop. B, contending the port hasn't had exclusive authority over the shoreline since the state transferred waterfront lands to the city in 1968 under an agreement known as the Burton Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The claim that complete authority over the waterfront actually resides with the port, under the Burton Act, and not with the Board of Supervisors and not with the people of San Francisco, is irreconcilable with 40 years of practice in San Francisco,\" said Van Aken. \"The height limits that are currently in effect on the waterfront were not set by the port. They were set by the Board of Supervisors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bolanos threw out one of the state Lands Commission's principal arguments: that by limiting the port's authority, Prop. B illegally conflicts with San Francisco City Charter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bolanos rejected the city's attempt to dismiss four other parts of the state's lawsuit -- essentially, the Lands Commission assertions that Prop. B harms the port and conflicts with state interests -- and ordered a hearing on those issues May 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jon Golinger, who led the campaign to pass the measure, was pleased that \"Prop. B remains the law of the land,\" but expressed concerns about Bolanos' tentative ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This actually creates more uncertainty for developers and the port, rather than making clear what the rules are moving forward,\" he told reporters outside the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lands Commission, he said, has been \"focused on money, money, money, but the value of the waterfront includes that it's a resource-rich place. But views, recreation and open space are worth a lot to everyone in California, and that should be something we hope the judge will consider.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Cohen, executive director of the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfhac.org/propb-lawsuit/\">wrote in a blog post\u003c/a> that the judge's decision \"indicates the measure may be in trouble.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today’s ruling gives us optimism that Prop.

The commission says the measure violates state law by usurping the Port of San Francisco's authority over 7.5 miles of waterfront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission also argues that by limiting the port's ability to develop its properties, granted to the city under the 1968 Burton Act, Prop. B interferes with the state's long-established interest in how the waterfront is used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative, passed by 59 percent of voters last June, requires developments to get voter approval if they exceed height limits of between 40 and 80 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Proposition B takes a portion of legislative authority away from the port. Not only does it set in stone height limits today, it takes away the future ability of the port to change those height limits without coming and getting approval of the people of the city of San Francisco,\" California Deputy Attorney General Joseph Rusconi argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

B, contending the port hasn't had exclusive authority over the shoreline since the state transferred waterfront lands to the city in 1968 under an agreement known as the Burton Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The claim that complete authority over the waterfront actually resides with the port, under the Burton Act, and not with the Board of Supervisors and not with the people of San Francisco, is irreconcilable with 40 years of practice in San Francisco,\" said Van Aken. \"The height limits that are currently in effect on the waterfront were not set by the port. They were set by the Board of Supervisors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bolanos threw out one of the state Lands Commission's principal arguments: that by limiting the port's authority, Prop. B illegally conflicts with San Francisco City Charter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bolanos rejected the city's attempt to dismiss four other parts of the state's lawsuit -- essentially, the Lands Commission assertions that Prop. B harms the port and conflicts with state interests -- and ordered a hearing on those issues May 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jon Golinger, who led the campaign to pass the measure, was pleased that \"Prop. B remains the law of the land,\" but expressed concerns about Bolanos' tentative ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This actually creates more uncertainty for developers and the port, rather than making clear what the rules are moving forward,\" he told reporters outside the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lands Commission, he said, has been \"focused on money, money, money, but the value of the waterfront includes that it's a resource-rich place. But views, recreation and open space are worth a lot to everyone in California, and that should be something we hope the judge will consider.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Cohen, executive director of the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfhac.org/propb-lawsuit/\">wrote in a blog post\u003c/a> that the judge's decision \"indicates the measure may be in trouble.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today’s ruling gives us optimism that Prop. B might not withstand legal scrutiny and may no longer be a barrier to building thousands of homes at all levels of affordability on San Francisco’s port property,\" Cohen said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/260056739/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_4476\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I think what we didn't see coming was how ... it somehow morphed into something much larger and was defined in different ways.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[The Chamber of Commerce's Jim Lazarus] told the Guardian, \"I'm not optimistic,\" when asked early on in the night what he thought about the outcome. He added, \"I think this project got caught up in a lot of other things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it loses ... There was a lot of I think mistaken concern about the impact.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Election night reaction aside, what impact will Tuesday's vote really have on Lee's arena plan? University of San Francisco political scientist \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/election-2013-breaking-down\" target=\"_blank\">Corey Cook told KQED's Cy Musiker\u003c/a> that the result might change the arena backers' tactics going forward:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I don't think this would slow down the plan for the Warriors' arena, but I think it would give advocates of that project a little bit of pause about how they go about putting this on the ballot and how voters will think about that measure. This was a low-turnout election, and again there were still specific elements of this project like height limits and things like that that wouldn't be the same in the Warriors' proposed pavilion on Piers 30 and 32.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Cy and KQED's Joshua Johnson broke down Tuesday's election results during this morning's newscasts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/118853084\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Turnout was very light — typical for an off-year election with no mayor's race — with fewer than 25 percent of the city's 440,000 voters casting ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>\"We'll have to tell the mayor his legacy is not going to be on our waterfront.\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Mayor Lee and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who was mayor when the project first began winding its way through the city's approval process seven years ago, both campaigned for the measures and appeared together in a TV ad calling for their passage.

Among those in attendance: Tim Colen, executive director of San Francisco's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfhac.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Housing Action Coalition\u003c/a> and Jim Lazarus, a longtime executive with the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>After the first round of results came in, Colen addressed the crowd. \"The returns are coming in and I have to tell you they don’t look good,\" he said. \"It's pretty likely we're not going to prevail tonight.\" Then went on to recognize \"some really magnificent warriors\" in the room, including [Pacific Waterfront Partners' Simon] Snellgrove and Alicia Esterkamp Allbin, a Principal at development firm Pacific Waterfront Partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We ran a wonderful campaign we can all be proud of,” he added. “It was going to be a wonderful activation for the waterfront. I think what we didn't see coming was how ... it somehow morphed into something much larger and was defined in different ways.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[The Chamber of Commerce's Jim Lazarus] told the Guardian, \"I'm not optimistic,\" when asked early on in the night what he thought about the outcome. He added, \"I think this project got caught up in a lot of other things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it loses ... There was a lot of I think mistaken concern about the impact.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Election night reaction aside, what impact will Tuesday's vote really have on Lee's arena plan? University of San Francisco political scientist \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/election-2013-breaking-down\" target=\"_blank\">Corey Cook told KQED's Cy Musiker\u003c/a> that the result might change the arena backers' tactics going forward:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I don't think this would slow down the plan for the Warriors' arena, but I think it would give advocates of that project a little bit of pause about how they go about putting this on the ballot and how voters will think about that measure. This was a low-turnout election, and again there were still specific elements of this project like height limits and things like that that wouldn't be the same in the Warriors' proposed pavilion on Piers 30 and 32.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Cy and KQED's Joshua Johnson broke down Tuesday's election results during this morning's newscasts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
