San Francisco voters are backing more money for housing and a tax on big-bank foreclosures, but rejecting changes to the city's real property transfer tax.
Prop C, contributions to the Housing Fund, had 138,152 yes votes (79.85%) to 34,852 no, according to
NBC Bay Area.
ABC7 showed 80% yes.
Prop J, which removes a foreclosure exemption from the real property transfer tax, had 135,129 yes votes (79.06%). It is similar to Oakland's Measure FF, which was also passing by a wide margin.
Prop I, changes to the real property transfer tax, was failing with 93,917 No votes (54.97%) to 76,936 Yes (45.03%). ABC7 labeled it "Transfer Tax Reform" and showed the same 55%-45% split.
Transfer taxes are charged when property changes hands. All three results are preliminary.
All results are unofficial election-night and early-morning counts as of Wednesday, Nov. 4. Counties keep counting mail and provisional ballots for days, and certification comes later, so margins can shift, especially in close contests.
