The reasons behind The City’s adoption of district elections for sfbos, as opposed to city-wide elections, are multitudinous — and may have been forgotten by those with short memories, or unapparent to those who have arrived in SF in recent years.
Heated debate over The City’s supervisorial districts is the latest episode in a long struggle over how San Franciscans elect their representatives.
Under the district system, The City is carved into 11 portions that give local neighborhoods and traditionally underrepresented minorities a stronger voice in San Francisco government. The boundaries of those districts, which are supposed to be roughly equal in population, are redrawn every 10 years based on the most recent census.
“In the midst of that ferment there was, as I say, an increasing concern that all politics are local,” he added.“The supervisors were basically captive of the mayor and the bureaucracy of The City, and that was their constituency,” Welch said, echoing the arguments he made managing the campaign for district elections more than 40 years ago.
Though subsequent elections were held at-large, Welch argued the practice of supervisors reacting first to neighborhood needs already had quickly become the norm.
