7:52 am
election day is less than two weeks away. san francisco mayor ed lee is campaigning hard for proposition a. it's the affordable housing bond measure. so how does it work? and how far can it really go toward providing new affordable homes? we have this reality check. >> lost in the melody of san francisco's mission district. amidst the humming motors. slow strollers and jumping new joints. lingers the memory of what it was like to actually live here for some. like this woman who moved out of the city five years ago but left her heart in the mission. >> we should be able to afford it. my son should be able to live here. they were born here. san francisco. it's not fair. >> reporter: the housing phenomenon making it the least affordable place in the country by some metrics has moved in like a cool fog blanketing
7:53 am
people and places all over the city. >> finding any kind of housing has been impossible. people don't even answer you. >> it's not easy and it's not guaranteed. >> i want to see us build as much housing a we can. >> the housing bond will help. >> the mayor has pushed proposition a. it's a critical piece of a longer term solution to build and rehabilitate thousands of homes for low and middle income people in san francisco. would the proposition deliver on that promise? first, let's look at what's actually in the proposition. it does grant permission for san francisco to borrow up to $310 million in bonds. it does not specify exactly how that money would be spent. it does create a blueprint for building new affordable units. fixing dilapidated ones and helping first time home buyers. it does not guarantee a certain
7:54 am
number of units. the mayor has been the face of prop a. his campaign office denied our request for an interview. we sat down with one of the city's most vocal advocates for affordable housing. >> it's bad here but worse than i've seen it. >> reporter: wiener and the entire board of supervisors backs prop a. he describes it as a two pronged approach. about half the money for new units, and the rest to rehab old ones. >> way too much of the public housing stock is dilapidated. it's just in terrible sometimes even unlivable conditions. and so, it is incumbent on us to rehabil ta rehabilitate and shore up the public housing stuck in addition to building new units. >> how much stock can prop a really supply? we asked the city to crunch some numbers for us. in the last decades, san francisco has created or preserved 8,000 units of
7:55 am
multifamily affordable housing at a cost of 155,0$155,000 per . take $310 million in bond money, divide it by $155,000 per unit and you get a grand total of 2,000 units new and rehabilitated. back in the mission district, the promise of prop a hangs like a small token on this building window surrounded by chic restaurants and highly sought after real estate. given the scale of the housing problems, you might be hard pressed to find someone who had call 2,000 units a token gesture. >> it's hope. maybe it will pass. maybe it will help. not only for me but for my kids, for the future. >> the mayor says the measure will help build new homes without raising taxes. that's not entirely true. prop a would raise property taxes for homeowners. according to the city controllers' office about $80 a
7:56 am
year for each million dollars of property you own. we looked for critics of prop a in city government and the non-profit sector and we were hard pressed to find anyone against the measure. i'm sam brock, back to you. thanks. we'll be back with a last look at the down graded hurricane patricia. downgraded to a tropical storm
