As usual Haight-Ashbury residents voted significantly different than other San Franciscans. While the recall passed citywide by a margin of 55% yes and 45% no, it failed 61% no to 39% yes in the Haight-Ashbury The DA recall did not carry a single precinct in the Haight-Ashbury. And while the MUNI bond (Propositon A) failed citywide Haight-Asbury voters gave it the highest vote in the City, a whopping 78% Yes . Turnout was higher in the neighborhood than citywide, with 59% for the entire Haight-Ashbury as opposed to 52% citywide. Voter participation was even higher in the left liberal precincts with a 60% turnout in the North Panhandle ( Fell to Grove, Stanyan to Baker) and 61% in the "Flatland" precincts ( Oak to Frederick, Stanyan to Baker).
HANC made 8 recommendations on the ballot and voters in the neighborhood agreed with seven of them. Since 2010 and including this June vote, HANC has made recommendations on 83 state and local ballot measures and our neighbors have agreed with them 92% of the time.
Come to our July 14 meeting where a more detailed, precinct by precinct, issue by issue report will be made on how we voted this past June.
