Bay area voters had strong voices about referendums in San Francisco. Ktvus alex savage is in San Francisco to tell us what the Election Results really means. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, dave. Proposition f was one of the more contentious measures on the ballot and it went down in defeat. They dont want to curb the Short Term Rentals. Prop f was seen by many as an anti airbnb initiative. It was rejected by 55 of voters. It would have limited the rentals to 75 nights a year. They say the greg has put the squeeze on those already struggling to afford living here in San Francisco. Airbnb, well, the company spent more than 8 million to defeat the measure. And opponents call this a victory for the homeowners that rely on the extra rental income to make ends meet. Prop f did nothing to address the housing crisis. Housing prices would not go down if it had passed. It has been really grass roots. It has been going door to door, explaining a lot. Its something that we really believe in that it is a fair regulation. Reporter and San Francisco voters also rejected another hotly debated housing initiative. That was proposition i which would have frozen luxury Housing Construction in the citys Mission District. 57 of people that turned out to vote voted no. Prop i would have put a year and a half moratorium on any new market rate apartments and condos in the mission. But voters they have acknowledged that the city has an issue when it comes to Affordable Housing. That is seen in the passing of proposition a. Thats a bond measure that authorizes up to 310 million to build more Affordable Housing in San Francisco. That measure needed a steep two thirds majority to pass and 73 of voters gave it the green light last night. By the way mayor ed lee a major supporter of prop a is promising that all of those funds will be used to either build or renovate about 30,000 Affordable Housing units here in San Francisco.

Hen see was all smiles posing for pictures with supporters. Well wishers including mayor ed lee and former mayor willie brown. She becomes the first woman to be elected sheriff in San Francisco. One of the first issues she will face, the citys sanctuary policy. Im not prepared exactly what i plan on doing but what i want to do is get into office, look at it and i will be making changes to the way that the sheriff has interpreted it. I may interpret it differently. But i want to work with others in determining that policy. Hen see says as a woman she is proud to be a trail blazer both in the Sheriffs Department and city politics. She hopes voters chose her because of her qualifications and vision not her gender. San Francisco Mayor ed lee easily reelected, dave. Yes. He won 56 of the vote. He had no major opposition. Ran a lowkey campaign. Last night we caught up with the mayor shortly after the Election Results came in. We asked him about his plans for the next four years. What is your priority for the second term . Housing and homelessness with a very strong eye towards public safety. We cant be a successful city unless were safe.
