San Franciscans are optimistic about the future but remain concerned about homelessness and street behavior,

the economy and jobs, and the cost of home ownership. Voters strongly support major development projects that will create jobs and promote economic growth, including rebuilding California Pacific Medical Center and the new Warriors Arena on the waterfront. Voters oppose a vehicle license fee unless it is used for transit and transportation upgrades, and also oppose charging fees to nonprofits and downtown drivers for the same purpose. Voters also oppose renaming the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Heres what San Francisco voters have to say:
