ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ stands at a pivotal moment. Proposition 414, an $80 million initiative championed by Mayor Regina Romero, is a bold and transformative step forward for our city. As ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ans, we have the chance to ensure a safer, greener, and more inclusive future by voting yes on Prop 414 this March. This half-cent tax is more than an investment; it is a commitment to the values of housing as a human right, community well-being, and environmental resilience.

Mayor Romero’s vision for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ is clear: a safe and vibrant city for all. Prop 414 delivers on her promise by addressing critical issues that impact every family in our community. Let’s take a closer look at what this proposition means for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥.

Housing as a human right

Affordable housing is the cornerstone of any thriving community, and Prop 414 takes significant steps to combat ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥â€™s housing crisis. With the funds generated, the city can expand access to affordable housing, strengthen homelessness prevention programs, and create pathways to stable living for those who need it most. By prioritizing housing as a human right, Prop 414 ensures that families across ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ have a safe place to call home.

Safety for our families

A portion of Prop 414 funds will directly support our police officers and firefighters, ensuring they have the resources and training needed to protect our community effectively. From better equipment to enhanced training, this measure empowers our first responders to do their jobs safely and efficiently. In turn, our neighborhoods will be safer, and our families more secure.

A greener ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

In the face of climate change, Prop 414 makes ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ a leader in environmental stewardship. Planting more trees to provide shade and reduce urban heat, improving water security through innovative government partnerships, and investing in sustainable practices are all part of this proposition’s ambitious plan. These measures not only protect our environment but also improve our quality of life.

Addressing homelessness effectively

Prop 414 isn’t just a band-aid solution to homelessness. It funds proven, effective measures to reduce homelessness in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, including supportive services and housing programs that address root causes. By providing people with the tools they need to rebuild their lives, the city can reduce the strain on emergency services and create a more compassionate community.

Economic impact

A half-cent tax is a small price to pay for the transformative benefits Prop 414 promises. This modest investment will unlock additional federal and state funding, multiplying its impact. From new jobs created by community development projects to the long-term savings of reducing homelessness and crime, Prop 414 is an economic win for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥.

A vote for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥â€™s future

Voting yes on Prop 414 is not just a vote for immediate improvements — it is a vote for a ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ that values safety, sustainability, and equity. It is a chance to stand with Mayor Romero and affirm our shared belief that housing is a human right, that every family deserves safety, and that our city can be a model of resilience and innovation.

On Election Day, let’s come together to ensure ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥â€™s future is bright. Vote yes on Proposition 414 and join the movement to make our city safer, greener, and more vibrant for generations to come.
