They generally call for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/03\/meet-district-5-candidates-week5-fentanyl\/\">substance-abuse treatment<\/a>, housing options, and a need to improve street conditions like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/06\/meet-district-5-candidates-week21-safe-consumption\/\">rampant public drug use<\/a>, alongside their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/03\/meet-district-5-candidates-6-dealer-crackdowns\/\">calls for enforcement<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay informed on local elections \u2014 sign up for&nbsp;<strong>Mission Local&#8217;s free daily newsletter<\/strong>&nbsp;today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some take it to another level: Autumn Looijen, a former software engineer who initiated the school board recall in 2022, and Scotty Jacobs, a marketing professional who joined the race in recent weeks, both support deportation of foreign-born dealers and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/06\/meet-district-5-candidates-week21-safe-consumption\/\">compelled treatment for users<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bilal Mahmood, Preston\u2019s primary challenger, takes a more tempered approach. He supported arresting dealers and providing substance abuse treatment, but did not suggest deportation or compelled treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preston, too, supports law enforcement and arrests as parts of a larger strategy, despite his opponents efforts to imply he doesn\u2019t. He supports a \u201cFour Pillars\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedlex.admin.ch\/eli\/cc\/1952\/241_241_245\/en\">approach<\/a>&nbsp;that has seen success in Switzerland to tackle the drug epidemic, balancing law enforcement with prevention of drug use among youth or vulnerable communities, easy access to substance-abuse treatment, and harm-reduction strategies to mitigate risks involved with drug use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the topic of drug use and harm reduction, Mahmood and Preston both said they support&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/06\/meet-district-5-candidates-week21-safe-consumption\/\">safe-consumption sites<\/a>, which would allow drug use under city supervision. These would prevent deaths, and also can be a gateway to someone entering treatment, addiction specialists argue. Mahmood again tempered his response, adding that he also wants abstinence-based treatment options alongside those sites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/02\/meet-district-5-candidates-week4-prop-e-police\/\">All of the District 5 candidates but Preston<\/a>&nbsp;supported Prop. E, a March ballot measure empowering the police chief and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/02\/prop-e-police-ballot-measure-silver-bullet-sf-crime\/\">rolling back certain reforms<\/a>&nbsp;of the police department.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnfortunately, Proposition E offers nothing that will make us safer,\u201d Preston wrote about the measure before it passed. \u201cThe measure reduces oversight of police, blocks crucial reforms, encourages dangerous, high-speed car chases through our streets, and unleashes unchecked surveillance on San Franciscans.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposition shrank reporting requirements on police use of force, and gave the police new surveillance powers not subject to city privacy laws. It also moved to reduce the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/02\/prop-e-police-ballot-measure-silver-bullet-sf-crime\/\">power of the Police Commission<\/a>, an oversight body that has been persistently cast as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2023\/09\/critics-sf-police-commission-get-facts-wrong\/\">bogeyman<\/a>&nbsp;for the city\u2019s police problems by Breed and others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Mahmood, that issue apparently resonated as \u201creducing bureaucratic bottlenecks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He called the Prop. E\u2019s loosening of car chase restrictions \u201cquestionable,\u201d but still voted for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bureaucracy\"><strong>Bureaucracy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Preston\u2019s other District 5 challengers, Mahmood emphasized his distaste for bureaucracy in many of his responses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with his apparent support for limiting the Police Commission\u2019s powers, Mahmood called for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/05\/meet-district-5-candidates-week17-mayor-power\/\">reducing the number of commissions<\/a>, apparently in support of political action group&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/05\/togethersf-yanked-its-strong-mayor-ballot-measure-but-its-other-measure-is-also-a-strong-mayor-ballot-measure\/\">TogetherSF<\/a>\u2019s proposed ballot measure for November.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preston took the opposite tack and pointed out just how powerful San Francisco\u2019s mayor is: \u201cThe mayor appoints commissions, hires and fires department directors, and has unilateral control over spending the $14.6 billion budget.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, while the city\u2019s budget is vast, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2023\/08\/explore-san-francisco-budget-2023-2024-2025\/\">portion directly controlled by the mayor<\/a>&nbsp;this fiscal year was more like $2.3 billion. The portion controlled by the supervisors, however, was much smaller still: Just $42 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of weakening or cutting commissions, Preston said, he wants to make commissioners&nbsp;<em>more<\/em>&nbsp;independent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looijen did not answer this question, though she has, in other responses, referenced a desire to \u201creduce administration\u201d and audit nonprofits. And, while Jacobs had not yet joined the Meet the Candidates series at the time, he told Mission Local that a major focus for his campaign will also be to cut away at inefficiencies in the city\u2019s budget and to audit and track the performance of city services.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSan Francisco doesn\u2019t have a revenue problem; we have a spending problem,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/06\/meet-district-5-candidates-week20-budget\/\">wrote Jacobs<\/a>&nbsp;in response to a recent question about this year\u2019s budget decisions. \u201cOn Day 1 in office, I\u2019ll demand an audit of outside vendors,\u201d which receive billions of the city\u2019s $15 billion budget. (He did not say what departments he would give more or less money to.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-housing\"><strong>Housing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bureaucracy is a big topic in the race, in part because housing is often tied up in it. Most of the newcomer candidates in District 5 want to do away with the processes they say hinder the building of new housing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahmood, when asked about his number-one issue this election, took a tone similar to Jacobs\u2019: \u201cWe are the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/s-f-housing-approval-process-longest-california-18447249.php\">slowest city<\/a>&nbsp;to approve new buildings in the entire state,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/02\/meet-district-5-candidates-week1-number-one-issue\/\">Mahmood wrote<\/a>&nbsp;in February, counting up the required fees and permits to build. \u201cIt\u2019s not progressive, it\u2019s embarrassing. We must tackle the bureaucracy holding us back.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looijen, too, has said she wants to \u201cstart by fixing the process,\u201d which she said is too slow to effectively build more housing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preston, meanwhile, championed his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/04\/meet-district-5-candidates-week11-first-housing-move\/\">record<\/a>&nbsp;voting for and building new housing,&nbsp;a record his opponents seem to dispute; one YIMBY advocate&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sfstandard.com\/2024\/06\/25\/lawsuit-dean-preston-housing-misinformation\/\">filed a lawsuit<\/a>&nbsp;this week accusing Preston of lying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preston\u2019s first moves would include prioritizing certain sites he wants to see housing on, like the DMV parking lot and Parcel K, a contested city-owned plot of land in Hayes Valley, intended to become affordable housing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But therein lies the rub&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;for all the talk of cutting red tape and jumping on any opportunity to build housing, each of the candidates has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/04\/meet-district-5-candidates-week11-first-housing-move\/\">different opinions and reservations<\/a>&nbsp;about specific sites, like the 400 Divisadero St. former car wash and the Nordstrom parking lot at Stevenson and 6th streets.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looijen wanted to focus on the car-wash site, and she accused Preston of not allowing housing to go through there. Preston opposed a market-rate development on the site in favor of affordable housing, and accused Breed of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/S-F-Supervisor-accuses-Mayor-Breed-of-17724203.php\">blocking affordable housing there<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looijen and Mahmood have also pointed to the Nordstrom parking lot as an example of Preston blocking housing. In a 2021 vote, eight of the 11 supervisors&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/Why-did-S-F-supervisors-vote-against-a-project-16569809.php\">voted against<\/a>&nbsp;the development. Preston and his colleagues on the board ultimately&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/An-unnecessary-waste-of-time-After-months-17641823.php\">approved it<\/a>, but the property owner has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/s-f-nordstrom-lot-housing-19449062.php\">opted<\/a>&nbsp;not to start building.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/06\/meet-district-5-candidates-week19-parcel-k\/\">Parcel K<\/a>, the city-owned lot next to Patricia\u2019s Green designated for affordable housing that has been stalled, many of the purportedly pro-housing candidates stepped back. Looijen insisted that the area has become a town square and cannot be developed. Jones agreed with Looijen, while Jacobs wanted&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2024\/06\/meet-district-5-candidates-week19-parcel-k\/\">mixed-use housing<\/a>&nbsp;on the site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahmood sought a compromise. He suggested building adjacent to Parcel K, or building affordable housing there, \u201cbut with an atrium on the ground floor to preserve the open space.\u201d Or dropping the long-debated issue altogether.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/author\/elenib\/\">ELENI BALAKRISHNAN<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"mailto:eleni@missionlocal.com\">eleni@missionlocal.com<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/miss_elenius\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">REPORTER.
