London Breed takes the gavel from Katy Tang
London Breed takes the gavel from Katy Tang

By Tim Redmond

JANUARY 8, 2014 – By the time the supervisors gathered for the ceremony of swearing in the new board, it was pretty clear how the vote for president was going to come out.

Once Supervisors Katy Tang and Mark Farrell were out of the running, Sup. London Breed was the only person who could get six votes.

There were maybe 10 speakers who supported Breed, three who supported Campos, but the deal was done. Campos got three votes (himself, Sup. John Avalos, and Sup. Jane Kim). The rest went to Breed, including Sup. Eric Mar, who generally votes with the progressives.

Breed has opposed the mayor on public power (and recently, on the Fire Department) but on housing, development, and economic issues she’s a centrist who generally supports Lee’s agenda.

There may be a difference between Breed and former Board President David Chiu: Chiu won his first term with progressive support, then after pissing off the people who put him in that office, won his second term as president by cutting deals with the conservative side of the board, and his committee assignments reflected that. I asked him, after the progressives got shafted in assignments, what had happened, and he told me that he wished it had come down differently – on other words, he wished that the left had supported him so he didn’t have to cut deals with the right.

Breed was going to win this anyway. Farrell was a potential challenger, but with the ethics issues he’s faced, progressives would have had a hard time lining up behind him. And nobody, I’m told, was cutting any deals with the folks on the left.

So if you want to see what the era of Board President London Breed is going to look like, check out who she puts on the Land use and Economic Development Committee and who is on the Budget Committee. That will be a pretty good sign.

On an upbeat note: I’ve watched the Board of Supervisors for many years, and I think Sup. Scott Wiener made a nice point before the vote: San Francisco has come a long way when one of the two candidates for board president is an African American woman who grew up in the housing projects of the Western Addition and the other is a gay man who arrived as an undocumented immigrant at age 14.

On the other hand, policy matters – and on a policy level, the two are very different. It’s going to be an interesting year.

  145. Simply…whom going be chosen” successor of mayoral of “gentrification” Dave Chiu,
    London or Scott Wiener concern. Why there interest becoming next mayor of San Frangentrified? nice try and lies London” your opposing “housing policies” authorizing
    private developments. We discuss prior, London” forgot your marionette…appropriate
    legislation to benefit whom, disparity grown along inflation you’ll say I’m rationalization. London how could or would allowing further debt, since revenue building permits assist:favor policies of “Ellis Act” mention 3rd Evans Post Office. Residents have priority of new housing…incentives I know going response vaguely city hall not honesty any longer corporate interest persist shame London. Expecting gain popularity forgotten the business circles are electoral majority not residents proven fact international trade is biggest concern of city hall London. Answer how can retain fair housing wage increase,allowing “global corporations” literally dominate political and economic influence I’m not oppose cosmopolitan era economic prosperity of San Francisco. Veto fair renters rights,only loan for S.F Housing Authority which RAD $770 million going use this further deter additional financing policies new “BMR” housing. Shame London, don’t see essentials housing why San Francisco become campus not growth exclusiveness for cartel whom actually behind your decisions London.

    SFGTC,NORCALwtc,CCIT,CCIT,FFI,ABS,EDIS and CAA I know London, disagree upon, public policies you exclusive position could bring prosperity residents not proficient governmental policies. I know I’m trolling and rationalizing this your response to my letters…find your decisions London profound accepting gentrification
    horrible favor higher rentals. Could you “increase fair wage” engage hire tax on smaller business…rather developers London” Transpacific trade making San Francisco ideal city. Pity disfavor…diversity “public policies….enough besides puppet for Ed instead what is your political head of thought? London aware economic influence world bankers club” which sharing financing “gentrified” policies resolution.
    30% increase permits on commercial construction “global firms” establish traffics. London your prename is “appropriate” derive from greed of British landlords opposing “fair housing” London U.K mocking progress aspiring to mayor 2020? Ed’s puppet of good accordance, saying your liberal where if your care housing crisis hasn’t been resolved! Happy New year London, no tears or fears where going stand clear of bogus polices lobby to oppose them. Best of success mess your allowing yourself remain Ms.Breed!

  146. I have heard a few people whining that Breed is much too moderate for D5. But here is the flip side of that possibly being true i.e. that the supervisor for D5 now has a lot more power than the others, and that probably could not have happened but for Breed’s appeal across the board.

    Compare that with the scanty support for Campos here, who we know only really talks to his own constituency. Or for that matter Farrell on the other wing. While Tang and Wiener presumably didn’t want the job.

    I also like to remind those in the “Breed is too moderate for D5” camp that she is probably the only supervisor one can say that about. Whereas I would argue that Mar, Yee and Avalos are all more progressive than their district. That there are 4-5 progressive votes on the board of supervisors of a city where probably not even one third of the voters identify as progressive is significant.

    Anyway, I think this is a good choice. A black woman is probably never going to catch much flak anyway, but I think she will do a good job anyway, and will play well with others.

  150. Katy Tang was the interim BOS President, filling David Chiu’s shoes when he got elected to the CA Assembly Nov 2014.

  152. 48 Hills must have been concerned that Tang would run.

    My guess is that we’re not going to see any more headlines about Tang’s staff being tardy on Sunshine requests.

  154. London Breed represents the positive direction that D5 is headed in. Especially in the Haight, where old fossils like HANC are on their way out and exciting new groups like the Masonic Safe Neighborhood Coalition are on the rise.
