REALLY WHO REALLY OWNS THE LAND WE CALL SAN FRANCISCO? WHY DO WE HAVE TO CRAMP SO MANY PEOPLE IN AN AREA THAT IS BURSTING AT ITS SEAMS.

San Francisco is crowded - organizations like San Francisco Planning and Research Association (SPUR). Developers who want to use Chinese money - other ill gotten wealth - want to make a fast buck - and flee to some haven. Right now San Francisco is booming - 38 cranes in the air - and tons of congestion on the ground.

Come on San Francisco we can do better - let us not become the laughing stock of all - push this development envelop so hard - that is smacks us hard in the face - when we can do better.

For the arrogant and ignorant the land belongs to the Ohlone. The First People of this area - the Bay Area and beyond. It is a shame that so many people are so ignorant on the land that the live on - including a dubious organization - call SPUR.

A dubious organization  (SPUR)  funded by the filthy rich - and San Francisco Planning Department - layers of planners - privately funded - and working hard - to build many more skyscrapers - against the wishes of the tax payers - the constituents that matter - good, hardworking, San Franciscans.

The skyscrapers contain units for the filthy rich - condominiums in the range of $3 to $5 million - and in some cases as high at $10 million. 

Who are these people - and from where do they come - and why do they really want to live in San Francisco? More so who has invited them to divide our City and foster - GENTRIFICATION.

Summer homes, vacation crash pads, some condominium as some equity - when things in China or in the place where their ill gotten wealth - turns sour - and there is no resource but San Francisco - the Baghdad by the Bay.

One bed room in these complexes - for rent as high as $3000 and two bed room for $4000.

Evil people who have no desire to uphold our traditions, family values, the good that other families left behind - a legacy.

Make no bones about it - "take it or leave it" say the arrogant - so called Property Managers - who do not care - about good manner, etiquette - it is dog eat dog, world.

There are the "techies" and other crooks with money - waiting to buy the condominiums and others anxiously - waiting in line - without hesitation to rent.

Not San Franciscans -  are wondering - how did all this come about?

Their only hope - sleep in the streets or leave town - and thousands of good families - father, mother, children have left town - never to return.

Thousands crash - many live in cars and share rooms with relatives and friends. It is not uncommon for 10 to 15 people to live in a room. Why is our City permitting - Quality of Life to be compromised?

Daily the San Francisco Police Department is called to address -"nuisance cases".
The people occupying where one of two should live - people walking and stumping the floor, making noises - too many people living in a unit - and noise round the clock.

We are compromising Quality of Life - and stressing decent people out - more folks that rent - and live peacefully for years on end.

How can decent people afford to live and more to take all the stress?

The SF Police Department is slow to charge these miscreants - slow to do anything - they do not mind coming to the same building - more rental buildings - 3,4,5,6 times - to see, hear the complainant vent and leave.

Only to leave and come again -  another police car to come and carry on some investigation - that investigation goes no where.

Such scenes are repeated all over San Francisco - and more in areas - where people rent in San Francisco - where most rent and few can afford a home.

Some of us who have been around - have seen the Directors linked to the San Francisco Planning Department - come and go.

We know of one Zoning Czar  Larry Badiner -who permitted folks like the Academy of Art University to take over rental units - in the hundreds - affect the lives of thousands - all over San Francisco.

The Academy of Art University converted rental units - to dormitories - rented them to foreign students for an arm and a leg.

Further - depriving decent San Franciscans and causing a shortage in rental housing. No one voiced any complaints. Where was SPUR on this one? Where were the other advocates on this one? Where were the past Mayors and the present San Francisco Supervisors on this one?

The likes of Jane Kim, Malia Cohen, Katy Tang, London Breed, David Campos, Scott Weiner - the others one worse than the other.

Dean Macris - he retired - but he is working on Projects - paid by the Developers - within SF Planning Department -  in an area - where he and his cohorts - have exclusive jurisdiction.

Ellis Act adverse impacts on the Seniors, the indigent - prospered under their jurisdiction - they are suppose to represent - but, all the above to is - pussyfoot - wheel and deal and thin they can bluff and hoodwink - all the people - all the time.

Green was another Director who headed the SF Planning Department - they let him go - he is around and he is watching and knows a lot.

Then came John Rahaim - and all hell broke loose.

The former Mayor Gavin Newsom with organizations like San Francisco Planning and Research Association (SPUR) a private - non profit organization - has been wrecking havoc. Compromising the lives of those who cannot afford - high rents.

SPUR'S motto should read: " Ideas and Action for a Worse City".

I witnessed these thugs who represent SPUR - come to the meetings linked to Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. They had no clue that Hunters Point Naval Shipyard was a Superfund Site.

Only the worst contaminated sites in the Nation - are put on a Superfund Site.

Yet; here was SPUR pushing for thousands of units on Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and the surrounding area - Candlestick Point. 

Taking tours with sell out like Sophie Maxwell - other crooks like Aurelious Walker - wheeling and dealing and thinking that all is fine.

Hunters Point Naval Shipyard an area prone to liquefaction and flooding. Two hills were demolished to create an area of infill - and more with the remain of the Ohlone - whose remains were taken from the hills - an spread on hundreds of acres of new built land.

 An area created that has high levels of radioactive readings - from the testing done by the U.S. Navy - experiments linked to World War II.

And now recent since 2004 - the Asbestos structures that LENNAR created - crushing and bringing down a 33 foot Serpentine Rock -  spreading  the Asbestos around the area.

High readings over 35,000 plus - structures per cubic meter have been recorded.

The Bay Area Air Quality District knows about this - but, as before has issued no stringent - Notice of Violations.

Anyone who with intent cause people to live in contaminated areas - they have BLOOD on their hands. The many soccer playgrounds on Treasure Island - in very close proximity to very contaminated ground - that is a crime - exposing our children to the worse - when we must give them the very best.

I remember well how SPUR hoodwinked some leaders - among them Tim Paulson the Executive Director of the San Francisco Labor Council to be on SPUR's - Board - as a Director.

In course of time SPUR started engaging in UNION BUSTING - forcing Tim Paulson and others like him who stood for the UNIONS - in our Union town - had to resign from SPUR. "The worst decision I made in my life is being on SPUR's Board" and Tim Paulson was dead - right.

SPUR - funded by billionaires and millionaires - to undermine the City and County of San Francisco and more the thousands of UNION workers who work in our City.

Helped by crooked and corrupt politicians like Nancy Pelosi.

We are a UNION city and the audacity for SPUR to take on the UNION and try to undermine the UNION - spurred by the former racist Mayor, Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Mayor Gavin Newsom the Mayor who looked the other side while Lennar a Rogue Developer that is in bed in SPUR - bombarded our children and Seniors - with Asbestos structures - crushing the Serpentine Rock - without calming the area - with water.

The result thousands were exposed to the Asbestos structures - and today - hundreds are suffering from all sorts of ailments - headaches, irritation of the eyes and throat - respiratory diseases - mostly poor people - and many of them have no health benefits.

All over our City SPUR and other such nefarious organizations - are taking over our recreational facilities.

 SPUR gives the FISHERS their tacit support - the FISHERS remove natural grass - and substitute it with artificial turf - made from used rubber tires.

Very dangerous and harmful  to children and hard to clean if the dogs, cats, other animals defecate and contaminate - SPUR and the FISHERS could not care less.

Recreational and Park is moving towards privatization - while the City and City Departments are tolerating this nonsense.

It is a shame that we have no leaders that can stand up to SPUR and other such organizations that have adversely impacted - our transportation.

Yes you keep building and bringing in the people - but you cannot control the congestion - on the roads, the streets - and with that - the increase of the Carbon Footprint.

You do not care about those that cannot afford the rents.

So where will San Franciscans who have been renting for years -  who are now Ellis Evicted - landlords using other ploys - while SPUR and others - all very corrupt and nonchalant - look the other way.

One advocate pointed to me the over 300,000 new residents and the over 191,000 new office workers - many living outside San Francisco - are planning to move to San Francisco.

ABAG and other studies point to the same - but, someone keeps inviting those that will not and cannot contribute to the unique culture of San Francisco. The many neighborhood groups - cannot fight those with millions - so they think. You can and you should.

Grass root support and the fortitude of sound leaders can make things happen. We did that to LENNAR - brought them down - and whacked their booty - good. LENNAR remember us to this day - and will for all eternity.

Who is looking into the details - who is monitoring Quality of Life issues?

 Where the the Traffic Management results?

Where is the Building Inspection on this?

Can our SF Fire Department handle the increase of calls. More calls leading to skyscrapers? Do we really have the fire equipment and the helicopters to fight the fires of today's - modernity? 

What about the San Francisco Police Department and the increase in crime - more petty crime? 

Who is looking into the empirical data - starring in your faces - Department Heads - and the Mayor of San Francisco?

Why does anyone have to trust SPUR and other such nefarious - organization?

The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce is known for taking positions that harm the ordinary San Franciscan.

Again and again - some of us have seen through their shenanigans - and fought them - and stopped them - forcing them to go to the ballot and we have defeated them.

Now; all the devils are gathering - pooling the money - and lying, cheating, and spreading misinformation - some fall for the nonsense - but not those that know about heights limits in and around the Ferry Building.

Not those that know about the Central Subway and the many problems it is causing. Merchants in the North Beach area and neighboring areas are hurting. All the get are lies.

South of Market area has seen an increase in large rats? You have to see one to believe what I am talk about.

The many sites where the land prone to liquefaction and flooding - the on going congestion - that will get worse - if we permit too many facilities to bring people together - in areas where today there is some law and order - tomorrow with carelessness - follow great, disorder.

Releasing thousandss into areas that are already - congested. Our roads cannot deal with heavy traffic - any more. 

The over 50 small and big hills are unique to San Francisco - and our traffic GRID was formed - when things could be controlled and traffic and other forms of transportation - moved rather easily - west to east.

Where there were no homes - now there are thousands of homes.

The City is still pondering how best to address Traffic congestion and to form new patterns and modalities to move traffic around - but - this is taking too much time.

Once we could control traffic - not anymore with a population that already is causing problems - we are about 805,000 - some say 810,000 - you added more and we will have pandemonium on our roads and everywhere.

Madness reign supreme on Market Street, on Van Ness, on the Geary, on Folsom, on 3rd nearer to Mission, and in most places during the rush hour - people take to the local streets - as the Freeways are clogged - yes, clogged - back to back traffic.

Already on Market Street, Van Ness, Third Street close to Market Street - Mission Street nearing South Van Ness - on any day during certain times - it takes 30 to 45 minutes - to clear 4 or 5 blocks - and this is in the City. What is happening?

SPUR has received millions from the Federal Government through the good offices of Nancy Pelosi.

Nancy Pelosi - a good for nothing politician - whose time has come to go - fade into oblivion.

These Pork Barrel grants and loans - given to the nefarious - cause more harm than good.

SPUR's building at 654 Mission Street is built mostly with our tax payers money. SPUR rents the rooms to others - never once mentioning that tax payers helped pay for the building.

Then SPUR turns around and encourages UNION BUSTING.
Dares to come to the Bayview Hunters Point and proposing plans that are detrimental to the constituents of the Bayview Hunters Point and District 10 in general.

Pussyfooting with sell outs like Sophie Maxwell, Malia Cohen, others - one worse than the other.

In the year 2004 I was the proponent of Proposition F - we proposed abating and mitigating the land - that was contaminated by the United States Navy - in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco.

We proposed building 50% market value housing, 30% moderate value housing, 10% low income, and 10% no income. About 10,000 housing units for starters. 

We spend $5 thousand - and had to fight our opponents - Proposition G - backed by SPUR - our opponents were LENNAR - a rogue developer.

LENNAR spend $10 million plus. They proposed 33% Affordable Housing and the rest Market Value housing. That was in 2004 - it is now 2013 - and nothing is happening.

The area around Parcel A - the only area conveyed to Lennar by the City and County of San Francisco - has been contaminated.

Asbestos readings as high at 35,000 structures per cubic meter - have been recorded.

 Workers exposed and none of them wearing masks. Such are the ways of the GREEDY developers.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District knows about it -  it is Deja Vu all over again.

The San Fransciso Environmental Department that come under the SF Heath Department and Amy Brownell - knows about the high readings.

The Environmental Protection Agency - the IX Region knows about the high readings.

Others know about it - but no one does anything about this very serious fact - that has been adversely impacting all life.

Does our City and County of San Francisco have a Toxicologist that works and is paid by this City and County of San Francisco? If yes fair enough - but the answer is NO - who is fooling whom?

What is SPUR doing about it?

We have the Precautionary Principle on our books.  No one is applying it to these very serious, concern. Time will tell. Aho.

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A FEW CROOKS MANAGE THE CONVOLUTED POLICIES LINKED TO HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, AND IN GENERAL QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.

San Franciscans are fed up with the on going convoluted policies when it comes to Quality of Life issues; the constituents getting shafted just because they live paycheck to paycheck - while the City and County of Francisco caters and panders to the filthy - rich.

Be it housing, transportation, safety, education - those things and values that keep people wanting to live, stay, and contribute to Society - all these and more affect the constituents who pay their taxes - but get little if nothing in return.

Thousands of families have left San Francisco - making it more a mecca for singles - the techies who have no culture to offer - accept the one track mindedness of technology that has little to do with interpersonal relations - talking, dancing, singing - the little things that make life worth - living.

I was working at the Presidio - when the dot.com invasion took place. Some of the worst characters I ever met - you would offer them the rate for a unit - and they would offer you double the money - not comprehending that you could not do that within the Federal System - the Presidio then having to follow rules and regulations - linked to the United States Government.

Much like the techies today - who say they have the money - but the money is not spread around - no trickle down affect. They are one track mind - focused on something - their minds far away - they dress simple - and most of them are frugal.

The Transbay Project and in particular that aspect linked to the High Speed Rail - has been worrying the constituents of San Francisco. It is going on where - the main idea to built a track from San Francisco - more First and Mission is becoming a problem - the main hurdles - the many platforms - may be 12 to make the entire system work.

There has been no clear plan from the beginning - and the Task Force that was created - simply threw its hands up - and fell apart. 

he price of building this monster High Speed Rail - grows by leaps and bounds - and with it - the many Court cases filed and more that are going to be filed. All because of poor outreach and lack of transparency.

When it comes to the bigger projects - you need matching funds from the State of California that is just making a come back  meaning at last it has some funds to spare on the plus side. But the State of California cannot deep in its treasury - as if there was no bottom. It has money - but as much as is need to fund the High Speed Rail.

The Federal Government - where promises are made - are just  that - the promises can be put on the back burner. They after all are the Federal Government - and we saw recently - they shut the government down - wasted 24 Billion - and nothing came of that. They all should have been responsible for the mess - and for starters deprived of their salaries - until their term - ended. Really speaking most of them do not need their salaries.

The entire episode of Sequestration happening on the Federal level - is not fully comprehended by our local and State policy makers.

Gone are the days when they could pull a fast one in Washington DC and make things happen - the cronies that we had that triggered such actions - more Nancy Pelosi.

No more - the Democrats are looked upon like pariah dogs - and no one gets the respect they once had - a little.

Democrats have lied, cheated, and now have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

And so with the High Speed Train, the Central Subway, other huge projects in the pipe-line -be it short and long term - the local policy makers - lie, cheat, deceive and think they can get away with murder -in broad daylight - and get funds. Those days are over - and even China is not falling for the bait - the want all the permits, anything and everything they want on a platter. Only then are the Chinese available to invest and build the High Speed Rail - they do not want the local UNIONS - or any encumbrances - they want it their way. Take it or leave it.

Some Court can shut down any project - if the are issues that break the laws - and there are many in the making - if this happens - any Project could cost millions more - and in many cases - come to a drastic halt.

The Central Subway is experiencing such affects and so it the Transbay Project.

No one in a leadership role - is telling the truth - and there is NO investigative reporting done by the Main Media - which is a crying shame.

We have local experts - but they are fed up - if you take on the local, State, and Federal projects - there are EVIL forces that will gang up against those that speak to the TRUTH.

The Transbay projects are just that - damn shenanigans. Each and every Transbay Board meeting a sham. The Chair - from District 6 a puppet - who has absolutely no idea - what she is doing - when she Chairs the meeting - speaking from talking points - and with such drab deliberation - there is nothing good that can come - from these deliberations. We need the local experts - some retired - others who are deep into it - at focused meetings - helping these good for nothing politicians - discussing complicated engineering plans - and convoluted transportation policies and plans - to be put in place - to serve the constituents for the next 50 years.

What the folks at the top have done - get themselves a fat salary, get them all the benefits needed - and they just spin their yarns and no one worth the salt - believes in them.

Will the high speed train come right down down at First and Mission? No one can answer that question with certainty. 

Can be build the 12  platforms needed no one knows - how that will be accommodated. On how many levels -  with operations and other sustainable practices - working and delivering an end product - we all can be proud off.

Will there be some sort of high speed trains running from San Francisco to the Central Valley - some say that is feasible - others not.

Will we ever see a high speed train make it all the way to San Diego - that many say - is very difficult - in this climate of constant change - and brings with it too many - encumbrances.

As I said the "Policy Makers" -dubious in nature - are up to their necks in nefarious activities.

Raking in the money - filling their pockets - and for sure making deadly sure - they get the health benefits, other pension benefits -  for themselves - while bluffing their way into oblivion - when they needed.

Jerry Brown the Governor of California - wants the High Speed Rail to happen - to leave some legacy - but Jerry Brown has no clout in Washington DC and for that matter - has not taken the time to comprehend the details.

It has become fashionable to lie before the various City Commissions - the panders who come be it Consultants - the Primes who stand to gain - and none of them take a oath to speak the Truth - introduce that one factor - and 90 percent of the diatribe, the spewing of hot air - will come of a dead - halt.

Folks who say one thing before the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - then go before the Transbay Joint Board -  go before other authorities and say things that totally make no sense - on "Clean Energy" issues and other means of support - that cannot be justified and still more have not be vetted.

The SF Public Utilities Commission now wants to supply " clean power to the Transbay Project" and its many dubious side projects in the pipeline - Phase One.

Phase Two is more complicated and Phase Two is the real test.

Even deliberating to supply power - in case of emergencies linked to Phase One has not been vetted - immature folks make statements - without fully comprehending the details and less comprehending  the  sophisticated engineering that has not be evaluated and tested.

None of the policies have been vetted by experienced Electrical Engineers - but Consultants are spewing diatribe.

Consultants who read notes provided them by novices -  have been feeding nonchalant nonsense - presenting utter garbage before the Joint Transbay Board - and in the end get a nod to move forward.

Utter nonsense - nonsense; that defies anything we have seen - in recent years. Garbage in - garbage out - garbage, garbage, garbage.

Recently a judge on the High Speed Rail - chided those that propose plans when they do not pay attention to the Voters. Did not follow the stringent laws and rules governing the issuance of the Bonds. They fake policy makers - do not seem to care. The matter went to court - and the Judge made it clear - that many rules and laws were broken. Nothing would move forward.

The authorities continue to fail the voters and mock the system - making decisions where the math does not add up.

The Judge told the policy makers and those planners that submit fake numbers - those that choose to go against the rules -  care not to follow the laws - have not paid attention to what the Bond Measure mandates - that the present plans linked to the High Speed Rail - will not fly.

No one can assume they can use the Bond Measure and the Bonds vouched by the Voters - to be paid by the Tax Payers - in a manner that has no accountability and less transparency.

No one can fool all the people all the time - and this is happening forcing the Courts to rule in favor of the people - the tax payers that make - everything possible.

In the interim the tax payers money is wasted - in the millions. Time is precious and cost money - too.

What does Jane Kim know about Engineering - what does she know about anything - except bringing in Twitter and giving them huge breaks.

Jane Kin is  getting involved in other shenanigans - where she gets her cut.

The meetings she chairs linked to the Join Transbay Board are a farce. She talks in generalities and based on talking points that make no sense.

Often time reminded by the Secretary of the Joint Transbay Board that - she has failed and passed over an agenda item - like the Director's Report - in a hurry to adjourn the meeting and go pussyfooting about.

Where do we get - idiots like this - to Chair and make decisions on Billions of dollars - all tax payers money.

Caltrain has its work cut out - and there no way Caltrain can deliver - long term without dedicated - money - being in place.

There is no way Phase II can go anywhere without a firm commitment from the Federal Government - not with the woes of Sequestrations. 

Diane Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi are non-entities - now with both of them screwing the Affordable Health Care Program - and bringing down the President - President Barack Hussein Obama.

Democrats are poised to get voted out - in any Election - and all of them know that for a fact.

This is a reality check - more for Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein - two so called major, abject failures - who have lied and got their way - but  no more.

Both of them have amassed great wealth and continue to rake in millions - using their power. Diane husband Richard Blum and Nancy husband - Paul Pelosi.

California's High Speed Rail and the many changes made to the Transbay Hub - are the work of those that have no clear Blue Print in mind; lack experience - are less educated on issues that matter.

Consultants have been placed to rake in millions - spewing utter diatribe - when I meet the experienced advocates - they wonder what the hell is happening. Well in San Francisco - with the Democrats in charge - corruption reigns supreme - time to kick all of them out.

If this is not done this time around - we all will suffer - for a long, long time. The solution is simple - the Independents must step in - and we can have good candidates - Independent candidates - worth the salt.

There are folks - here in California - that are way - way behind - in their planning and understanding of  the High Speed Trains, the tracks and all the other things that are linked with the operations.

Compared to the the stellar operations linked to High Speed Rail and the many facets that come to the fore - and have been delivered with excellence - in France, Germany, China, England, Japan, and many other countries worth the salt.

We have not even got a Final Green Signal on the Environmental Impact Studies linked to California's so called High Speed Rail.

The policy makers dared to bluff the judge - when the judge told them the math does NOT add up - they felt ashamed - but, this happens - all the time - bluff and fluff.

We have a short window of opportunity - and I hope in January, 2014 - I am not forced to attend one or two of these drab meetings before the Transbay Joint Board and speak my mind.

It will not pretty - to see Maria Ayerdi-Kaplan and her cohorts all riled up - the bluffing game has been going on - for too, too long.

The Primes and those petty programs - patting themselves on their backs and asses - is getting out of whack and simply - boring.

Some drastic changes need to be made.

There is poor leadership - and lying, cheating, and painting a rosy picture - when serious issues, and hurdles cannot be overcome.

We the people want leadership with solution - less fluff and no bluff.

Sound leadership - is the way to go - on the Transbay and related projects.

The High Speed Rail must be vetted - fully understanding really what the Voters want and desire - and  NOT what the CROOKS have in mind.

ELLIS EVICTIONS LINKED TO MOSTLY RENTAL UNITS ON THE INCREASE IN SF - PEOPLE THROWN ON THE STREETS - FACING INCLEMENT WEATHER - NO ONE TO TURN TO - PROMISES MADE BUT NO PROMISES KEPT.

The State of California can easily put a STOP to Ellis Evictions - more Governor Jerry Brown - who now sees such issues with a different lence - Jesuit trained - he should have the compassion and more the fortitude to do - right.

These increases linked to Ellis Eviction is not something that happens in a vacuum.

There a GREED attorneys - who prep and train landlords - how to use the evil tool - "Ellis Evictions".

Ellis Evictions -which itself is dubious in nature - one of many "laws" in California that must be revisited and thrown into the waste paper basket.

San Francisco has been slow in addressing this issue - that has adversely impacted hundreds. A dubious law that our so called Representatives do  not fundamentally comprehend.

Basically Ellis Eviction is a  "nuisance law" - one that does more harm than good and should be removed from the books.

This urgent matter should be handled in Sacramento by our Legislator Tom Ammiano, Mark Leno, Leland Yee, and Phil Tang - these so called legislators - have said something in general - but they can rally the other legislators - and bring about the demise of Ellis Evictions.

Marcus Garvey the first all Black movement in the Fillmore also know as Western Addition - where ordinary folks did an extraordinary thing - putting together an organization - and took control of their destiny - used their power to live in housing - that they controlled - mostly rental units.

Be it that they got some help from the Housing and Development Agency - only for the John Stewart Company to introduce themselves as some savoir.

Come in pretending to help - and rake havoc among the Marcus
Garvey - rental tenants. Who is behind this nonsense? What is happening to the mostly Black tenants who rent - and what is happening to San Francisco? G E N T R I F I C A T I O N .


Now, comes the John Stewart Company that is on the Presidio of San Francisco, Treasure Island, all over the Tenderloin, Northridge at Hunters Point, Hunterview with Phase I - itself  -and Phase II - this Mafia Organization of the worst order.

Basically a Property Management that must be debarred from doing business in San Francisco.

The John Stewart Company:
http://www.jsco.net/

Why is there NO Property Management Company that is minority owned in San Francisco? Has anyone delved into this question - and important factor - governing the destiny of many innocent people?

Where is the Federal Bureau of Investigation - linked to the devious operations of the John Stewart Company?

There is No grassroots support that cannot STOP - blatant discrimination - uncouth ways of hitting below the belt - that the John Stewart  Company - exercises.

John Stewart himself was fired from Fanny Mae - back in the days - known to be corrupt - he and his devious, sordid - Property Management Company - has tentacles all over the place.

What is this White Property Management Company doing with mostly minority folks; and dealing with the poor, the indigent, and those that this company promises the world - and shafts them - every opportunity they get.

What is London Breed from District 5 doing to bring a solution to the Marcus Garvey situation?

Besides pandering to the Fisher Family for favors - begging for money - and being a asslicker and sell out.

London Breed is all for herself - this heifer that was given a chance to represent - but now has made a fool of herself. She brags she is from the community - which community?

Jane Kim  from District 6 pays lip service while thousands suffer in the Tenderloin. 

You cannot expect a transplant from New York - an American Korean - that rolls her eyes - and panders to corrupt folks like Willie L. Brown Jr. a "thug major".

Jane Kim the Supervisor from District 6 - a person that invited TWITTER - at the expense of harming poor folks - where are all the jobs and community benefits - TWITTER promised?

The folks from the Philippines - those that say they represent and vouch for the best interests of the community - followed Jane Kim.

All Jane Kim does is roll those eyes - move that ass - as she struct like a horse from Vienna - shafts most of those that wanted help - pandering to the developers - in bed with Willie L. Brown Jr.

Ellis eviction are on the increase in the Tenderloin.

In previous years - and the Academy of Art University has converted thousands of Rental Units into spaces to accommodated mostly foreign students - charging premium rents for small spaces.

Depriving hard working San Franciscans - of good rental units and the Rental Laws that favor - those renting many hard working folks - in San Francisco.

Who an afford the present rent - $2000 for one bed room and $3500 for two bed rooms - on the average - mostly downtown - and in the other places - where vacant rental units - are now at a premium - and in certain cases - those "techies" - willing to pay an arm and leg.

Those living pay check to pay check, the physically challenged, the indigent, the Senior on limited income - have fallen prey to greed landlords, folks like the John Stewart Company - who is backed by the City officials.

The John Stewart company is a Mafia Operation - from the days 35 years ago - plus - the John Stewart Company - was involved in a large cocaine bust -  some Warehouse in Concord. Few remember the incident - but you can Google it and find out the facts.

Few remember the John Stewart Company - operating the Geneva Towers - rat infested, prostitution and drug selling all over the place - thugs with guns forcing people to buy drugs and deal with drugs. That place was something else.

The place was brought down - imploded - the John Stewart Company made a lot of money - then went to San Diego - made more money - and today employs over one thousands employees - promising the innocent - this, that, and the other - and shafting them every opportunity the John Stewart Company - gets.

Our City officials - more our sleep San Francisco Board of Supervisors are asleep at the wheel - we must get rid of them - mostly those that do not represent - now is the time - grassroots support.

Stop attending the hearing at City Hall to vent and get nothing. Organize - vote for your candidates - and shun from the dubious, greed, crook, those that wheel and deal and rake in money - behind close doors - Malia Cohen, Scott Weiner, Jane Kim, London Breed, David Campos - always pretending, pandering, but shafting the constituent - every, single opportunity they get.

Call Governor Jerry Brown and ask him - what does he think about the sordid "Ellis Act"? Ask him to do something - now - stop the talk and represent - as he one did - and has now been experiencing - more his Senior Movements - tell him to get a grip on life - and stop the unnecessary -  " ELLIS EVICTIONS".

On another note read the many Shenanigans linked to the Marcus Garvey Housing over the years - the SF Redevelopment Agency, other crooks one worse than the other - none having the heart to do the right thing:

NO HONEST REPRESENTATION AT SAN FRANCISCO'S CITY HALL - SF BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SPEW DIATRIBE - FLUFF AND MORE FLUFF.

We have NO representation at San Francisco's City Hall worth the salt. Not from the Legislative Branch that is suppose to REPRESENT.

The SF Board of Supervisors spew diatribe, fluff and more fluff and look forward to holidays - this week for example - they are busy - pussyfooting around. Acting like turkeys.

We just found out that it will take $10 Billion to fix our Municipal Transportation Agency's (MTA) transit system.

What does Scott Weiner have to say about that? Scott has made himself the mascot for MUNI - the lanky- former resident of New York - a misfit - here in San Francisco.

Who remembers the time when a former Mayor - Frank Jordan was suppose to replace hundreds of MUNI buses that were mostly in desrepair.

The MUNI buses that run our SF Transportation System - and instead -  the then Mayor Frank Jordan - bought brand new SF Police cars and more.  Who remembers that?

He was the former SF Police Chief  - who had just become the Mayor - and guess what - he screwed our MUNI transportation royally - and no one remembers his deeds - more misdeeds.

The SF Board of Supervisors (SF BOS) have endorsed "deferred maintenance" not only with our failing Transportation System but with Housing, our Infrastructure - the most important issues that make Quality of Life - works - and so on and so forth.

Thousands of rental units have been taken off the market by the Academy of Art University for years - while those in authority in this City and County of San Francisco - have been looking - away - away from reality - and evil deeds looking at them in the eye.

Academy of Art University - a private, very corrupt Art University that has bought hundreds of rental units and buildings all over San Francisco.

Got rid of rental units and used the space for other than use them for renting.

Break the laws and making room for dormitories - to accommodate students - mostly foreign students - who pay premium money in tuition.

These students are taken for a ride - and have been all these many years.

The students  get next to nothing in return. Many young women choosing to make money to survive - prostituting and having a role - in other nefarious activities.

The SF Planning Department and the Department of Building Inspection - looks the other way.

Who is responsible for this nonsense - if not our SF Board of Supervisors?

The SF BOS all talk the talk - but have failed to walk the walk.

When advocates go to City Hall to speak to the Truth - you have fluff like David Campos and London Breed - having side-bar conversations.

Instead of listening and paying attention to sense. Simply put these vermin - scumbags are NOT educated on issues - the represent themselves - their pockets - and more with wheeling and dealing - money that they rake in for their own needs - they do not care truly for the people for elected them.

They all must be voted out - now - is the time to put them on notice.

The voters at one time voted to raise Bond Money to fix and address all issues with the Clean Water which we get from Hetch Hetchy; pristine water stolen from the First People - the Puites and the Miwoks.

A fake promise was made to fix the Waste Water pipes and operations; attend to the repairs linked to  the Waste Water and so on - but that never came about.

For too many years we have had major problems with both the utility systems - now know as the Water System Improvement Project and the Sewer System Improvement Project - and when I say problems - major problems.

No one know - but millions have been spent on change order at Calavares Dam - there are three major faults - running stark naked in the middle of the new dam - and no one cares.

All sorts of excuses given - and Julie LaBonte who was the Project Manger - is bidding adieu - she jumped shipped - and let us see - what really happen when the Big One strikes.

The voters from San Francisco - put up a Bond Measure that was passed to address both our Clean Water needs and operations - and the same with our Sewer needs and operations.

Then; the then SF Public Utilities Commission - some years ago - chose to focus just on the Clean Water - which they named the Water System Improvement Project (WSIP).

With one stroke - against the wishes of the people - they shelved the Waste Water or Sewer needs and operation and infrastructure - repairs.  The now called Sewer System and Improvement Project - that at that time and now - most, need serious attention.

Only four years ago to issue another very large Bond Measure - worth $8 Billion dollars - to have their hey day - and call it a fancy name Sewer System Improvement Project. The vultures on the side line - raking in the money - Platinum Consultants - doling contract for a fee - head of that operation - the former - thug Mayor of San Francisco - Willie L. Brown Jr - know for his dubious operations.

Such shenanigans happen all the time - and no one wants to analyse the situation at hand.

The vultures - who are the consultants - want the money - and they care less about delivery, standards, ethics, morals, the many sincere concerns - of the 805,000 constituents that live in our City and County of San Francisco.

Every thug - every one who is someone - is dipping into the so called Community Benefits linked to the SF Public Utilities Commission - on going projects. Conflict of interest - galore.

No benefits not a ray of hope - for those that truly spoke the truth - and have represented the people.

Have shed light where there was abject - darkness.

Have put forward innovative niche projects - that have taken over two years and some nearing two and half years - to get to fruition.

Juliet Ellis is still hovering around when she should be fired.

Juliet Ellis and those she hired to carry out her nefarious - activities - linked to Green For All.

Using her position - like some Jamaican Mafia - she funneled thousands of dollars to Green For All - non-profit from the East Pay.

Had the audacity to get paid by her former Non-Profit for years - all the while accepting a salary - paid by us tax payers from San Francisco - a salary in excess of $200,000 plus - benefits - working for the SF Public Utilities Commission - as the Assistant General Manager for External Affairs - about which she knows - noting at all. Go figure!

That cancer is still lingers Juliet Ellis and her entire team -one worse than the other.

None of them have the true interests of San Franciscans - and those tolerating this nonsense - better act now -before the Federal Bureau of Investigation - acts.

The facts are there - the empirical data is there - the crooks and the corrupt - need to go - yesterday.

Our Infrastructure is poor and failing - and while we have another Bond Measure over $300 million to fix our roads - we cannot do justice.

Prime Companies who are replacing sewer pipes - have failed to be prompt, do a good job - and on top of it have been double billings, double dipping - and biting the hand that feeds them.

On San Bruno Avenue in San Francisco - it took 8 months to fix the stretch of road from Bacon Street to Felton Street.

Now another two months to fix the stretch of road from Felton Street to Silver Avenue.

Mothers have problem - ferrying their children across the road.

Seniors fall down - and lucky the sensitive citizens will offer succor.

Some of us have to volunteer to see that there is some law and order. The District 9 Supervisor - David Campos is missing in action.

The many hearings the SF Board of Supervisors have on the "Distribution of Food", " Shelters for the Homeless", Lack of sound housing for "no income" and "low income" - is all talk and more fluff.

No Senior, no Veteran, no human being in San Francisco - one of the richest cities in the world - should be sleeping in the streets of San Francisco - it is simply uncalled for.

We have reached a state where the "Food Banks" and "Food Distribution Centers" - have no food to distribute in good measure.

Centers like Glide Memorial, Saint Anthony's, Martin de Pores are all dealing with financial issues and have to cap their services. All this in San Francisco.

We pride that we are a boom construction City - and have a new set up that is not working - the Construction Monitoring Division (CMD).

Hardly anyone knows about this entity - the CMD.

Thousands of workers from all over - out of State - are making money - while our local talent - watch and pray - go to bed hungry - cannot put bread and butter on the table.

There are NO reliable - honest Compliance Officers - once working for the Human Rights Commission - now the infamous CMD.

For sure no State Compliance Officers - this fact has been pointed again and again - but, those who rake in the money - look the other way. All in good measure - this injustice - will come to haunt those - making hay while the sun in shinning.

The above are just a few examples - of buffoons we have at San Francisco City Hall - who have no clue what is happening to our once great City named after Saint Francis of Assisi - the compassionate Saint.

Some of us have put a lot of hard work to curtail Crime - more killings and shootings.

We have embarked on programs that are difficult to achieve - feeding those that have not been fed - in areas once prone to deadly - violence.

Kudos to the Polynesians and other stellar advocates that promised our Mayor, Edwin Lee to delivers - and did it. Now, it remains to nurture this unique model - community policing at its best - a holistic view that others saw with blinders on.

When people have no jobs, they go to bed hungry, they have no hope - the demons are released - and people get angry and more.

Those that live pay check to pay check know that.

Case Managers, those that deal with reality know that.

Not our SF Board of Supervisors - the likes of Jane Kim for District 6, Malia Cohen from District 10, David Campos from District 9, Scott Weiner form District 8, Norman Yee from District , and Katy Tang from District 4 and there are more.

Once in this City we had the City Administrator was independent.
Few remember past City Administrators and the power they wheeled.

Then came the "thug Mayor" - Willie L. Brown Jr
in 1996 - and introduced a Charter Amendment - that brought the City Administrator under his wing.

Now we have the Legislative Branch and the Executive Branch. We have the City Administrator who has to tango with the Executive Branch - takes two to tango!

Since that time - when Room 200 sends a smoke signal - the City Administrator - acts and there is less of Accountability and Transparency. Quick decisions are made - like the Contracting Monitoring Division - that has no Commission - no policy making body? Does some comprehend what I am saying?

Few of the SF Board of Supervisors pay attention - to norms, principles, ethics, morals, standards - they are pussyfooting around - thinking they can fool all the people - all the time. Your time is coming.

At the many City Committee hearings at City Hall in San Francisco - it is mostly fluff.

The wheeling and dealing has been done - if they want to prolong and keep you on hot coals - the SF BOS table a motion - continue it to the call of the Chair - Chairs like Malia Cohen who speak from both sides of her mouth.

Chairs like Scott Weiner who act like a dictator - has a spite towards the indigent, the young queer youth who need support, anyone that does not aspire to Scott Weiner - weird ways of thinking - like humans in San Francisco - living in 100 square foot units - which Scott thinks is fine. Fit for Scott shacking with his dog and his ilk.

There is no more the government of, for, and by the people.

It has become the government of, for, and by the crooks.

If you do not know someone - fine - if not wither on the vine - you are dead.

Daily Quality of Life issues are compromised.

We no more have people who can think outside the box and deliver. 

Our politicians take money under the table - to permit the crooks to have a hay day.

The poor are suffering and those cries to up to heaven - pleading for justice - blood tears - some one has BLOOD on their hand.

There are only few left who can handle the on going situation - we are there - because of one reason only - spirituality - if you are not spiritually grounded - strong in mind and fortitude - these demons will get you.

We have some City Department Heads that know us - they are our life line to the Mayor and to others like the Controller and the City Attorney, the Chief of Police - and to others that count.

God sees it all - and God knows when to allow things to happen. Patience.

Developers and Primes - make all the money while the sun shines - folks like SalesForce some Dream Force, Twitter the Blue Bird that never sings, Zinga and Farm Games, AECOM the plague of this City.

WEBCOR and skycrapers, NIBBI BROTHERS plotting and taking the best of the pie, LENNAR know for its contamination and utter corruption.

 SWINERTON risen as did the Phoenix - PLATINUM CONSULTANTS the ultimate thugs who know their trade - these thugs are having a field day - and there are more. .

Thanksgiving is about this land that belongs to the Ohlone - learn about them - respect them - if not - your time is coming. All of this land was stolen - there is no document worth the salt - and says some land was handed over with honesty and a hand shake.

18 treaties signed by the United States Government were never ratified. Of course the buffoons would not know that - how would they - they live for the moment - live to eat and when they die - no one remembers them - they now and gone tomorrow.

The Great Spirit sees it all - and all these many years - I have seen it all - that is why when I approach the podium - those that are crooked look down - those that are evil do not want to hear the truth - but as we all know - God - the Great Spirit see it all. 

Remember folks - this land - all if it - every square inch - belongs to the Ohlone. I fight for those who cannot defend themselves - will until my dying day. Aho.
