I normally have been spending my time in recent years - at Executive Park in San Francisco - by Candlestick Cove - where you do NOT see - the homeless - roaming the streets in pain and disoriented.
Executive Park is an enclave that some know about in San Francisco - it does not offer a Supermarket close by - other amenities that most places would have.
It does offer fear parking, the view of the Bay - and an environment that offers - peace of mind - to do research and meet those that deliberate for a purpose more find solutions - and the present - amenities suit me well - for now.
So many of our Seniors left to fend for themselves - while every day the Mayor spews diatribe about how good he is - patting his behind - and making a FOOL of himself.
Nor, is it common to see crowds - sitting down and whiling away their time - at Executive Park.
More, waiting to hustle and you can see - those that do it - are experts at Third and Palou - they make their living - many of them are forced to hustle - as they have offered no opportunities - what so ever - in decades.
We have " hot spots " in many places in the Bayview where there is 40% unemployment - the Mayor would not know that - and so would not - Malia Cohen who is so full of it.
In recent days I have been packing - we are moving up the street - after spending many years at 4909 Third Street - the Rileys apparently want to sell - most everything Mrs Riley with whom I worked at the Presidio - owed in the Bayview - her home by Silver Avenue and Revere and more all gone.
Children selling all the assets their parents bought - in this case the son sold the house on Revere Street very near the Willie Brown Middle School , Mr and Mrs Riley had savings that are most probably wiped out too - and now the son is hell bent on selling 4911 which the main address - on Third Street - going for some $1.6 million.
Only a fool would buy the building - tear it down - which is must - and then spend another $15 million to $20 million to build - 3 or 4 stories. Time will tell.
The above fact is one that repeats itself along every block - the children are selling the homes of their parents - having taken huge loans, other hooked on drugs - will sell their parent homes for less - just to get high - and act worthless.
One of many facets of gentrification - the most disgusting aspect - friends that thought they had were friends - now, turn one against the other - divisiveness and more - and I learned this first hand - too - with this move.
I am busy packing - going through thousands of pages - history and documentation connected with the documents - going back to 1970s. Facts linked to very aspect of the Bayview Hunters Point - and San Francisco in general.
Preserving documents by scanning - keeping important documents - what I discern is necessary - shredding the other documents and making sure they do not fall - in the wrong hands.
The documents cannot fall into the wrong hands - they can be copied on another digital format - and kept in the archives - much like Inter Archives - only better - because my system in smaller and has many fire walls.
The documents that absolutely need to be shredded at great expense and disposed for recycling - must be done - even though it is a pain in the ass.
My neighbors too - in the same building 4911 - have to move - so we do our logistics together.
Try to keep some balance - more semblance - every move done with baby steps - we pace ourselves - and so far - everything is working - fine. A little stressful - but that comes with the territory.
Lucky for us - we have found a place - it is just a matter of time - and soon 4909 will not be our abode anymore.
We profusely thank the many who have offered us help to move.
The City and County has failed us - so we will keep that in mind - as we live and endure in the City and County of San Francisco - I am a fighter - and we will not cow down - we will take the bastards on - and win - hands down.
Four days ago - after hours of packing - I came down - to ease my eyes and relax a bit in the open. There is a tree that I watered for many years - I like looking at the tree - and check it out.
The green leaves comfort my eyes - and just looking at the tree makes me feel good. It is a health tree - this tree and those around it were not - during the drought - I worked on the trees - and feel good that they are well and healthy - now.
I see this elderly Black man - walking slowly, bent over - pushing a shopping cart with his belongings - I say " Bother, how you doing ? ".
I wait - concerned - still No response.
I say " Brother can I get you some water " - he nods, " yes ".
I go upstair to my fridge and get two bottles of cold water. He drinks them both - one after the other - to my astonishment.
Well, I see we have a situation here to deal with - so I ask the Brother - if he needs some food - and he says " yes ".
So I go up stairs bring a chair - have him seated in the chair.
I tell him to be seated and go across to get him some Chinese food.
I settled for some Shrimp Fried Rice - and some sweet and sour Chicken. Well two dishes that can be prepared fast in a Wok - and hopefully my friend that I have befriended will like.
I go upstairs get my a place - get a real fork and spoon - so that I can serve my friend - in a plate - some of the Shrimp Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour Chicken.
Soon the Brother was eating - and I felt good and blessed.
I leave him alone for some time. Keep a few bottles of water in a plastic bag - and tell him - that I will be checking on him - after some time.
I made sure I packed - the rest of the food - and placed it next to his chair. I went up stairs and brought him a nice pear - at second thoughts - I hoped this pear - would serve as his desert.
The Brother reminded me of the Buffalo Soldiers - I knew some of them personally - and recored their history.
This Brother had not eaten in days - he told me so - he said - he had not slept as there was only one place and he was told that there was no place to accommodate - so he was sleeping some where - and I did not want to go there.
It happens all the time - the deeper you go - you find out more - why the places - that offer shelter in the Bayview - most of them do not even offer a bed - you have to sleep on the dirty - floor.
The District 10 Supervisor - Malia Cohen fought against us when we wanted a shelter with beds - Trent Rhorer had written a proposal to the State in good faith - and when his proposal was accepted - we all were happy - but NOT Malia Cohen - who talks the talk but cannot walk the walk.
Malia Cohen is a Black - more a House Negro and for sure a political whore. She is shameless - has no character - lacks morals and for sure has no standards. She purports to represent District 10 - well not for long - her next station will send her to jail - you heard it here - first.
As Malia's two terms - comes to an end - she has to go some where - good riddance of very bad rubbish.
Malia Cohen - is deeply connected with the Bayview Opera House - conducting all sorts of nefarious activities - and it is just a matter time - the details will be revealed for all the world to see.
After half an hour - I came down - and saw that my friend had eaten his food - asked him if he wanted more - he was a happy camper for now.
I packed the rest of the food - gave him some bottles of water - and let him go.
As he left - he thanked me profusely - and I felt bad - as I wanted to do more for him - but - I was hard pressed for time.
I have a rest room but it is up stairs - steep stairs - so asking him if he wanted to use the rest room - was out of the question.
We do have a " pit stop " two hundred feet away - at Mandel Square - but my friend was moving in the opposite direction.
Packing and at the same time - dealing - with all the real problems afflicting our City and County - all because we have a Mayor - who is inept, spineless, and lacks sound leadership.
I see the homeless - who mostly ask for money - and it is common for me to help - the Sisters and Brothers - have known me for a long time.
However, the homeless now are more Seniors - and there is no way - no system in place - to take care of those who have reached their Golden Years. No plans - no amenities - the City pays the Homeless Czar over $200, 000 - and other driving in cars - all White - passing by the homeless and taking some notes.
Every year the City and Count of San Francisco - spend over $300 million on the homeless - with that money - we could have built some permanent housing for the indigent - but that will not cross the mind - of the corrupt and those involved with the mundane - having NO intention to help those that most need - help.
Calvin Jones a pastor who has raked in millions - has a four story building - built by the SF Redevelopment Agency - offers housing to outsiders - few from the Bayview - even less housing to his own congregation.
The system used is a lottery system - that favors outsiders - and looks down with disdain - on the local folks that most need - help.
His church offers some - the church floor - to sleep at night.
The poor more indigent who need to sleep - especially when not long ago - we experience heavy rains - they will take anything - then face the inclement weather - and fall sick and slowly die.
There is no place to store their belongings - the Mayor Edwin M. Lee does not know this - nor does it care - beyond the many things he says - most of what - makes no sense what so ever.
Many of Seniors in the Bayview - are moving slowly, many of them pushing some cart - all are suffering from acutue pain - more back pain - they take a few steps, as I said mostly pushing a cart - that give them some support to stand - at the many station of the Cross - where they take a deep breath and then proceed - to their destination of sorts.
Making numerous stop - then waiting to breathe and moving on - and many see these souls in pain - are immune - looking at these Seniors - more Elders - thinking less and more doing nothing about it.
You see the character is some of these Seniors - for sure they have relatives - who have problems of their own - we have seen so many Seniors - homeless - in the many years - but now we see more - all the time - on Third Street in San Francisco - in the Bayview Hunters Point area.
We have Blacks - holding important jobs and they can get together and come up with a plan - that works - but these Blacks have no guts - and keep pandering to the Mayor, Edwin M. Lee who is a jerk.
These Blacks attend events, meeting, are at ribbon cutting events - they speak from both sides of their mouth - and should be ashamed of themselves.
I know these folks - and they pretends that they know me. Wait until they appear in the book - that I am writing - so that generation after generation - will know - who did well by the decent tax payers and who did NOT - which is the majority - the many House Negros - who sold out the community at large.
The Navigation Centers - funded by the Faith Based Organizations - catering to not more than 80 people - perform some - but it is NOT holistic - and the wrap around services - are temporary.
Bevan Dufty came out with some " gimmick " before taking a job as a BART Director - suggesting as he left - the Navigation Centers - would fill a much needed - need.
Another politician who is and was a pimp - fades away for now.
I recently saw the shenanigans at the opening of HealthRight360 - the President of the Board of HealthRight360 making a speech - and then the Director of HealthRight360 - saying much about nothing at all.
We once had the Mayor Office of Criminal Justice no more.
We once made a holistic attempt to address health issues linked to the poor and the indigent - no more. Dr Silverman who worked with the AIDS issues and created models for the Nation to apply.
Dr. Mitch Katz who was the Director of the SF General Hospital - before Barbara Garcia took over.
Time will tell - more them being incompetent - these Directors - kick the can down the street - none have the guts - to take a stand - more empathy and compassion for the those that need help most.
San Francisco has FAILED when it comes to our HOMELESSNESS - and we continue spending millions - creating more obstacles - and more contributing to the slow death of our homeless citizens - more Seniors.
We just have to see - the state of affair linked to sub-acute care. I wrote about this situation a long time ago.
Even as this late date - California Pacific Medical Center - that is part of Sutter Hospitals - gives a fucking damn - about the poor, the indigent, and those that most need help - most.
The City made a pact with California Pacific Medical Center - complete with Mark Farrell, Scott Wiener, David Chu, and David Campos - coming up with some Memoranda of Agreement - that has failed miserably.
Of course Mayor Edwin M. Lee - with his poor IQ - was there - wheeling and deal - and fucking us all up - too.
Imagine Saint Luke that took more poor and indigent San Franciscans - all these many years.
Saint Luke looked after sub-acute patients for decades - of course Mayor Edwin M. Lee would not know that - he will - when soon he will lose his eye sight.
Even at this late date - we have SF Board of Supervisors - for now I will not name them - playing with FIRE.
Is it true that I have written about sub-acute care in San Francisco and the unfairness meted out to those that need sub-acute care ?
The many ploys and machinations - that Sutter Hospitals - has chosen to play with - put endless hurdles in the way of innocent patients ?
The hospital workers that work for Sutter Hospitals - be it in the Marin Headlands, Martinez, here in San Francisco - every where - that are treated with disdain?.
The SF Board of Supervisor must find out - why is the SF General Hospital - at the back and call of Sutter Hospitals ?
Why does the SF General Hospital - write Sutter Hospitals a
" blank check " - when it comes to Insurance Premiums ?
What is behind this large blank check - that clearly states - the SF General Hospital, the SF General Hospital Commission - are in bed with Sutter Hospitals. Am I wrong - and if I am right - who do you think - should go to jail ?
The people in pain - go to City Hall - more in Room 250 and vett their feelings.
If you watch London Breed - at these meetings - she is busy on her lap top and so is Malia Cohen. Both these political whores should be ashamed of themselves.
It is the same with Mark Farrell - and some other SF Board of Supervisor - I am working on some Ethics Issues - trying to check our some empirical data - but believe you me - I am on the right track.
Supervisor Ahsha and Jeff Sheehy had an opportunity to serve the citizens of San Francisco - these two are beholden to the Mayor Edwin M. Lee - and here lies the crux of the problem - the deals done before and signed by Sutter Hospital - must be revisited and UNDONE.
The building opposite the California Pacific Medical Center - (CPMC) - needs some pertinent attention - this building will cater to the CPMC doctors - who will be raking in millions of dollars.
City Hall where all the wheeling and dealing
goes on - Mayor Edwin M. Lee at the center -
of the corruption - that has reached saturation point.
The City and County of San Francisco - must have stellar and astute attorneys at the table - not those SF Board of Supervisors - more whores and pimps - who want to fill their own campaign coffers.
Believe you me - we have inside information - and have been on the frontline for a long time - doing our home work - all our actions - are transparent and accounted for.
On another level - the entire Van Ness corridor - with the " Mickey Mouse " design - Rapid Bus Transportation - is a JOKE.
One of the elements that will impede any progress not only the Van Ness corridor - which comes under the State Jurisdiction - being part of the Highway - which have ill conceived plans that will create hurdles and bring about a crisis - never, ever seen before - time will tell.
I have spent too many years - attending SF Board of Supervisors meetings, meetings at the SF County Transportation Authority, the SF Planning Department, the SF Land Use and Economic Development, the SF Public Utilities Commission, the SF Health Commission, SF Police Commission, the SF Department of Building Inspection, the meetings held by the worse of them all - Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure - and more.
The City and County of San Francisco - more the present government we have in place - is one of the most corrupt ever -
life style concerns are taken into play when making sordid policies.
We see all those patting their behind - at the meetings held by the SF Office of Emergency Management.
The City Administrator - Naomi Kelly -
must be independent - the position restored to pre- 1996 days -
too much wheeling and dealing - with
Mayor Edwin M. Lee calling the shots -
using his employees like a dirt rag - this nonsense must STOP.
Wait until the Pension Plan fails - the pension train is running fast and in the wrong direction - heading for a major - crash.
What is more - more, those that hold important job in the City and County of San Francisco - do not live in the City and County of San Francisco.
Again and again in the Bayview Hunters Points, the Western Addition, the Exelsior - outsiders are brought - to create blatant and sordid " divisiveness ".
Outsiders coming into our community and telling us what to do and what not to do.
