Big Money Behind the YIMBY Ballot Measure D
The Yes on D campaign has raised more than $1 million, and the donors are a Who’s Who of the local tech and real-estate plutocracy.
Ron Conway, who has in the past tried to dominate San Francisco politics and was a huge supporter of Mayor’s Ed Lee and London Breed, gave $50,000.
More big tech donors: John Wolthius (Twillo) $200,000. Zach Rosen (Pantheon) $100,000. Mike and Kathlyn Krieger (Instagram) $100,000. Emmett Shear (Twitch) $100,000. Jeremy Stoppleman (Yelp) $100,000.
You get the picture. This is a Yimby measure, and like so much Yimby, it is funded by Big Tech and Big Real Estate.
