I think that the main reason to push for Proposal D with this urgency, is the timeline that it will take for the District initiative to take place. If Prop D passes, the 2013 election will be with Districts in place. Without Prop D, the Charter Commision can place Districts in their Charter Revision, which will be voted on in the 2013 election, and IF it passes, will allow for the Districts in the 2017 election.
Prompt change is what we need. Not a decade.
