Many people commented on the high cost and lack of housing in San Francisco. This issue can be spread to other cities and jurisdictions.
One Twitter user wrote, “Genuine Answer: SF is ground zero in the US housing shortage. And elected officials there continue making excuses to build enough housing to keep pace with economic growth.”
“No one else wants their electeds getting the exact same idea,” he stated.
Preston was asked by another user on Twitter to provide actual citations for people “attacking SF residents (and) BIPOC citizens.”
He stated that he was critical of “progressive elected officials” because his (your) policies made SF and coastal CA too expensive for residents with low or middle income.
Giselle Hale, Redwood City Mayor, also spoke out, noting that their cities are linked by their residents and workers.
“Dean, Greetings from Redwood City where we make housing. Your borders are porous. Preston was retweeted by Preston that she had mentioned that my residents live in your City, and that of your workers in mine. “We share the same transit system. We’re a Peninsula, not an island.”
Fox News Digital has reached Preston’s office to request comment.
San Francisco, despite all the criticisms, is a city that served as a test ground for policies that were later adopted elsewhere, including by the U.S. government.
