The State of California is suing San Francisco to block Proposition B, the controversial measure that subjects some waterfront development proposals—like Forest City's Pier 70 and the Giants' Mission Rock—to voter approval. The challenge hinges on an interpretation of the 1968 Burton Act, which requires the SF Port Authority to manage state-owned tidal land for the benefit of NIMBYs all Californians. City attorney Dennis Herrera vows to fight the suit. [SF Business Times]
