"Polls are insightful - and so are the conversations I've had with thousands of residents and neighbors. Despite the polling, this week candidates stuck to their guns about the Marina Safeway."
"Their polls can't be trusted any more than the tech billionaires and gun-industry-aligned Republicans who are funding their independent expenditure supporting my opponent. Brooke questioned the veracity of the poll, which was conducted by FM3, a reputable pollster, but commissioned by GrowSF, a moderate, pro-housing political pressure group."
District 2 supervisor candidates Lori Brooke and Stephen Sherrill both oppose a proposed 25-story apartment building at the Marina Safeway site, despite a recent poll indicating 58% of likely District 2 voters support the project. Sherrill emphasized that conversations with residents inform his position beyond polling data. Brooke questioned the poll's credibility, citing the pollster's commission by GrowSF, a pro-housing advocacy group. Both candidates maintained their opposition stance despite the polling evidence suggesting majority resident support for the development in this traditionally housing-resistant district.
