San Francisco Mayoral Race Heats Up Amid Accusations and Political Tensions

Aaron Peskin and Michael Moritz clash over San Francisco's future, with Moritz accusing Peskin of hindering progress and Peskin countering claims of bias.

Aaron Peskin, mayoral candidate and president of the Board of Supervisors, is accused by Michael Moritz of blocking housing development and supporting high taxes.
Moritz, a venture capitalist, published an op-ed in the New York Times, criticizing Peskin's policies as detrimental to San Francisco's growth.
Peskin refutes the allegations, arguing that Moritz has a financial interest in the election and supports his rival, Mark Farrell.
The op-ed has sparked a debate on the influence of wealthy individuals in local politics, with Peskin emphasizing his grassroots campaign.
Both Proposition D, supported by Moritz, and Proposition E, authored by Peskin, propose changes to San Francisco's commission structure, highlighting differing visions for the city's governance.
