Proposed SF electoral map cleaves Tenderloin, SOMA apart
To the dismay of LGBTQ advocates, the proposed San Francisco electoral map for the next decade cleaves the Tenderloin apart from the South of Market neighborhood.
But it does preserve the residence of the lone LGBTQ member of the Board of Supervisors in his current district.The San Francisco Redistricting Task Force is set to meet Wednesday to vote a final time on its new maps for the city's 11 supervisorial districts.
It is obligated by the city's charter to deliver the new boundaries to the supervisors by April 15.After holding another marathon meeting April 9 that dragged into the early morning hours of Sunday, the nine-member volunteer body dissolved into chaos near 2 a.m.
with four members walking out on the proceedings. The remaining five members voted at 3:25 a.m. on a map that will dramatically alter the local political landscape.
