Bay Area Housing Bond Measure May Be Pulled from the November Ballot

A 20-billion-dollar bond measure aimed at increasing the housing stock in all nine Bay Area counties could be pulled from the November ballot. The Bay Area Housing Finance Authority approved the measure in June. The governmental body will have a special meeting this morning, where it will consider pulling it off the ballot. Officials are citing legal issues, uncertain voter support and timing. The measure would need a two-thirds majority vote to pass. A poll taken in June found 55 percent of voters were in favor of the measure, which is below the threshold needed for it to pass.
