OUR CONVOLUTED HOUSING STOCK IN SAN FRANCSICO - WHILE THOUSANDS OF MARKET PRICE UNITS - LIE VACANT FOR YEARS, THOUSANDS OF HOMES NOT RENTED - WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE MAKING $60,000 AND LESS - THERE IS NOTHING THERE FOR THOSE THAT NEED A DECENT ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD.








Conceptual plan of one of the many
so called affordable housing units in
San Francisco.


Since 1968 those of us who have been monitoring the housing stock - have been given statistics - more or less - nothing exact.

It would be prudent and fair to say at one time - there were more than 8000 truly affordable housing - some 15 years ago.

That figure on the average has come down to 4500 housing units.

Public housing - that now has been fringed upon - by developers Bridge Developers, Mercy Housing, Cahill and Nibbi - others - who do the bidding of the Mayor's Office of Housing and Workforce - and the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure. 

On rehabilitating the Public Housing - some of the tenants were accommodated if they had good credit - the rest were sent away to figure out a way to survive - with disdain and no empathy or compassion.

Most of these adversely impacted - are found in District 6 - in the Tenderloin on 6th Street - and many in Union Square begging and trying to stay alive.

Rents are increased and Property Management companies the likes of John Stewart and having a  field day. 

Few know about this rapid and blatant " gentrification "  going on all over San Francisco -  more in areas where once the poor and the indigent - could afford - affordable housing - more those making $60,000 and less - no more.

The OCII a dinosaur of the SF Redevelopment Agency that ceased to exist -  Governor Jerry Brown - bringing about its demise.

That let to creating other entities the OCII now trying to survive - barely making it - trying to serve the community - as best it can - falling into many pits - too many to note and call.

This one report done by the SF Planning Department - is one of the best created - trying to make sense of the complicated factors that go into gathering statistics - linked to current housing stock and making due reference to the past housing stock :

Our City and County has a budget of $12 billion - when it comes to Quality of Life issues - inept, spineless, and lack standards folks like Mayor London Breed and her minions - talk the talk but fail to walk the walk.

Our Elders are dying on the streets of San Francisco - living in tents. Mayor London Breed like her predecessor Mayor Edwin Mah Lee - are busy cutting ribbons and hoodwinking the public in broad daylight.




Dwayne Jones says he is a businessman -
the Gate Keeper - a Philanthropist - 
he is none of the above - he is a CROOK -
that must go to JAIL - charged under
the RICO Act.


In the Southeast Sector - the SF Public Utilities Commission - wastes millions of dollars - a crook who must go to jail - and is roaming freely - Dwayne Jones - call himself the Gate Keeper - he says he is a businessman, brags about being a Philanthropist - none of which he is. 

He has access to over $300 million - and does not feel ashamed doling money at will - without any standard justification - at one time he had access to a " slush fund " - cashing $50,000 checks at will.

Having - over 150 thugs on his payroll. All that has come to a STOP -  but the man is evil and has no place at Pier 70 or the Sewer System Improvement Project - the man lives in Oakland - and has used " dark money " - to make hay while the sun shines.

The man created a outreach team that will be paid for 15 years - there was NO bid put out for this work - the EMERSON PROJECT.

San Francisco Labor Council Resolution - investigation on the spending of Community Benefits - tax payers money - channeled to crooks - I have been reporting about this - the time has come for a reality check:

Juliet Ellis funneled $200,000
illegally to her former non-profit 
Green For all - was charged by the 
Fair Political Action Commission
and still works for the SF  Public Utilities Commission -
she must be charged under the Rico Act - now.


It is the same with Juliet Ellis - another crook - fined by the Fair Political Action Commission - she channeled $200,000 to her former non-profit Green For All - all the facts documented - below - check it out :

http://www.fppc.ca.gov/content/dam/fppc/documents/Stipulations/2014/January/04%20Ellis%20-%20Stip%20and%20Exh.pdf

Juliet Ellis who has NO track record serving the community in San Francisco.

A crook from the East Bay - dubious in nature - has access to another $300 million - purportedly for outreach - favoring crooks like Girls 2000, other entities that I will not mention - all being investigated right now.

Girls 2000 has been using a model " Commercial Useful Function " - bidding for jobs and outsourcing the work to other entities.

Knowing full well - that if it does not comprehend the project in detail - it is compromising the project. 

Right now one of its Upper Management personnel is in deep trouble.





Former Mayor Edwin Mah Lee -
made millions - favoring Big Developers -
he died of a heart attack - his misdeeds are many -
today our Elders and others sleeping on the 
streets of San Francisco - a panderer.


When Edwin Mah Lee was Mayor - it was common every year for SFPUC using Community Benefits linked to the SSIP - to pay for Summer Stipends - for some 2000 youth. 

Juliet Ellis was behind this scheme - as she is with other schemes gone bad.

One of them well known - spending thousands in our Public School - building drinking fountains that are NOT maintained and do not meet any standard - lacking hygiene - compromising the health of our children.  What a crying shame - the woman is a crook and should have been sent to jail - but here she is - adversely impacting innocent people - each and every day - with that "evil " grin on her dirty, ugly face.






Barbara Hale - busy hoodwinking
the public and the San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission - I will address the issues 
at the next SFPUC meeting at SF City Hall -
May 28, 2019 - Room 400 at 1:30 pm


Juliet Ellis has now joined ranks with Barbara Hale - pushing for Solar - that SFPUC wants to mess with - having failed early on - to push for Clean Energy - today it uses Pacific Gas and Electric high powered lines - bluff the public - buying most of its so called " Clean Energy " - from companies that get the energy - from stacks that produced contaminated energy.

After doing this PG&E is the only entity used one can bill one's bill - wait until PG&E puts the burden on SFPUC to accept payments from the thousands it purports - it has on its roll - who have to contact PG&E and pay extra to pay  there so called Clean Energy - bills.

I will be addressing this issue and other other pertinent issues - at the next SF Public Utilities Commission meeting - at City Hall - next Tuesday May 28, 2019 - at 1:30 pm Room 400.

There are millions available for housing - which is badly need for those that need help most - Community Benefits - should be used for this purpose.

Today this City and Country of San Francisco has lost its SOUL - there is NO empathy and less compassion.

All this in the land of the Muwekma Ohlone that I represent.
