So, we need to vote. San Francisco’s stupid direct democracy system means 14% of registered voters voting in an off-year primary election (June 2014) are now forcing everybody else to have to come out to vote yes on Proposition D this November in order for the Mission Rock housing project to get off the ground.
We also need to defeat Proposition I. A moratorium on new housing permits along with more “studies” is exactly not what we need in this housing crisis.
I haven’t looked at the other propositions enough to have an opinion to relay about those, yet. However, you can be sure that the anti-growth voters will be out in force, and we need to come out and vote for more housing.

I don't even know if it would be legal for them to participate in the political process through promotions and so on. Maybe a proposition to allow immigrants to vote in city politics might be good too.
