Preston and Breed Square off over affordable housing fundsMayor London Breed and Supervisor Dean Preston are facing off over how to allocate Prop. I funds, which was intended to generate funds for affordable housing much like the Eddy and Taylor Family Housing affordable housing project in the Tenderloin. And, by 'affordable', you mean 'subsidized'. Interesting framing. If it’s a squaring off between the Mayor and a single supervisor it doesn’t seem like much of a fair fight. Not really, Examine-not. You wish, but not really. There’s so much effing money sloshing around for housing, they don’t know what to do with themselves. It’s why Randy Shaw is going for blood and people are going for him. We need cops. Get a clue. Preston? bwhahaha joke
