Local housing, planning and domestic-violence service leaders say they hope state voters this fall approve Proposition 1C, a $2.85 billion infrastructure bond that would put some money into building affordable housing, emergency shelters and smart-growth development.
Supporters of the bond may get their wish. An August survey taken by the San Francisco-based Public Policy Institute of California reported that 57 percent of respondents supported the ballot measure, more than the simple majority needed to approve the bond.
