A quick overview of Bay Area election results:

- Prop. C - Rejected - Voters said no to the Board of Supervisors' decision to allow the 8 Washington development to exceed height limits.
- Prop. D - Passed - This non-binding measure urges city lawmakers to work toward reducing prescription drug costs.
