For Hare, #participatorybudgeting is a model for #civicengagement. It gets residents involved in local governance, and helps legislators understand their constituents better." Read this piece by @missionlocal.org for more on PB in District 7 of @sfgov.sf.gov: missionlocal.org/2025/02/dist...

Only one S.F. district lets residents vote on local budgeting. Why?
