After seemingly coming to a consensus last Saturday, the nine-member group reversed its selection of a preferred map at its following meeting Tuesday. In a shift from map 4D, the task force chose map 4B as a base to begin drawing district lines.
The San Francisco Redistricting Task Force attempted its first edit of map 4B, the map that was selected during its last meeting on Monday.
It was a contentious move. The subsequent meeting Wednesday night was dominated by more than 120 stakeholders who thought that there was a mutual understanding between the task force and its public – that a submitted “unity map,” which most closely resembled 4D, was the favored option.
“If the commission makes this move and replaces its appointees, those appointees will take their seats… literally the day before the task force is required to publish its final map,” Wiener wrote. “They would cast that critical vote without having participated in the months-long public process.” Regardless of who ends up on the task force, what are the potential effects of choosing either 4B or 4D?map 4D, keeps the SoMa and Tenderloin neighborhoods together in District 6. Though residents from other districts made their requests of the task force, the unification of the two neighborhoods was an ask from many surveyed in earlier months.
