yahoo ceo: Sequoia Capital chairman Michael Moritz, tech angel investor Ron Conway, and hedge-fund investor William Oberndorf have donated $49,999 apiece to a divisive ballot measure intended to clear San Francisco streets of homeless encampments, according to campaign filings, according to The Guardian. Zachary Bogue, a tech investor best known as husband to the Yahoo CEO, Marissa Mayer, also pitched in $2,500. But if a few of the city tech billionaires and millionaires have their way, even that shelter could be taken away. Those sums may be chump change to the likes of Moritz , but they account for the majority of the approximately $270,000 campaign chest. To the city housed residents, the encampments serve as a visceral reminder of the city gaping inequality – or as a nuisance that they wish would go away. Proposition Q purports to address the most visible symptom of the city ongoing homelessness crisis, tent cities that crowd the sidewalks in certain neighborhoods.
