The chronic homeless situation in
San Francisco - now invading our
neighborhoods - the Mayor barking up the wrong tree -
talking the talking - but failing to walk the walk.
Daily compromising Quality of Life issues.
Thousands of tourists - are not staying in San Francisco - they may land at SFO airport - but they prefer to stay - away from San Francisco - Napa and places like that.
More - where they are not accosted by crazy folks - the streets are clean, they are not assaulted as they enter restaurants - and they stuff stolen from them - after shopping at Union Square in San Francisco.
More cars are broken into in San Francisco - thieves in broad daylight rob from our stores - Walgreens, other stores - and stores are closing up.
The over-head expenses are costly - the losses occurred by thefts and damage cause to stores and restaurants by vandals - is mind boggling.
The authorities love to talk they are doing something but they are doing nothing - at all.
Restaurant workers do not want to work in San Francisco - more, because the rents are too high - they try coming into the City taking BART and other public transportation - sharing car rides - the workers do it - as long as they can take it - the stress is too much - then they give up.
Recently there was a hearing - too many restaurants closing their doors and leaving San Francisco - never to come back again.
Chef Jay Foster
from FarmerBrown Restaurant
Many well known restauranteurs owners of some famous restaurants - came to City Hall - and addressed their concerns at the August Chambers - Room 250.
Most - of the SF Board of Supervisors heard - the testimony from the restauranteurs - but the SF Board of Supervisors - did not have too much to stay. Most of them rolling their eyes - baffled, perplexed, astounded, and totally confused.
As to our Mayor London Breed all she does is bark up the wrong tree.
Mayor London Breed - who brags she is from the hood - has not represented the City and County of San Francisco - as she should.
Her ghetto ways - will not leave her - and her arrogance knows no bounds - she will fall on her face.
What London Breed does best - when she has the microphone - is ask others to do the job and then she takes the credit.
Salesforce doling millions to Oakland and San Francisco - but go to the schools - and see for yourself if the children and youth - are really being educated.
Of course to show case the donation from Salesforce they had the event - at the Presidio of San Francisco - Federal Property - where the place is clean - and the environment - maintained. I worked at the Presidio of San Francisco and know more than most about the 1500 acres of Federal land.
Black children and youth are suffering in Oakland and San Francisco - most of them live in horrible conditions - no one has taken a survey of our children - Toxic Stress.
More when it comes to trauma, lack of nutrition, domestic violence, drugs and prostitution, illnesses like AIDS and other Sexual Transmitted Diseases, Asthma, heart problems, other respiratory diseases and more.
Politicians in today's world are charlatans - they talk the talk but do not walk the walk.
For sure most of them have NO empathy and less compassion.
San Francisco's City Hall -
where the wheeling and dealing goes on -
corruption has reached saturation - point.
When one goes to City Hall - we the tax payers must listen to the SF Board of Supervisors - they talk, and talk, and talk - but they fail to walk the walk.
When it is time for us to talk at Public Comment - we the public, we the tax payers and given a measly two minutes.
Today in San Francisco - we have over 30,000 homes closed - the owners do not want to rent the homes.
The owners of the homes fear if they rent the homes - the homes will be damaged - and they will incur heavy losses.
This document purports to address the Housing Inventory - 2017 - we are in 2019 - and things have changed drastically :
http://default.sfplanning.org/publications_reports/2017_Housing_Inventory.pdf
We have over 80,000 housing units - Market Price units - empty - rents ranging from $5000 to $10,000 a month.
Here is an article revealing some nefarious activities linked to Academy of Art University :
https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/U-S-Supreme-Court-passes-on-SF-art-academy-case-13732998.php?psid=nKlah
Our SF Planning Department has failed - and our SF Board of Supervisors - have failed to address the damage done by entities like Academy of Art University.
Academy of Art University - that bought hundreds of rental unit buildings - all coming under Rent Control - and converted them to dormitories.
The dormitories were used to house foreign students - the paradox the Academy of Art University - was found deceiving the students - and its accreditation - invalidated.
Paradoxically the Academy of Art University enjoyed the close friendship of past Mayors.
Mayors - who joined the owners of Academy of Art University - taking junkets - in their private Lear Jet - to New York - to attend gala dances and fashion shows.
The Mayors wined, dined, and had all the fun possible.
One past Mayor especially - who still has his finger - in every pie and project in San Francisco - who has an affinity for Oriental - women.
The disparity in San Francisco has been compared to Rwanda - Rwanda is a Third World Nation - in Central Africa.
We have more billionaires in San Francisco - than any other City in the United States.
One of many navigation centers -
most built under freeways -
bombarded by dangerous particulates -
there is nothing wholesome nor holistic
about Navigation Centers and their location.
Yet when it comes to housing our poor - we choose Navigation Centers.
Navigation Centers that can accommodate a 150 at the most - is not a viable and sustainable way of living - that too for 60 days - than you are back on the street.
We have 12,000 homeless - thousands living in cars, and Recreation Vehicles, crashing anywhere - and among them children, youth - families with children - all this in San Francisco.
Those using drugs and shooting - are an eye sore and more when the addicts do it in front of children - having lost all shame and decency.
Our streets are filthy and the needles and trash make it worse.
Volunteers led by Mayor London Breed - should flood our streets - and clean the streets and haul the garbage - then an independent volunteer team - should pick the winner.
This mickey mouse - having the Battle of the Bay - where others foot the bill - and the Mayor makes an appearance to win some ill famed - brownie point - pretending to clean some beaches and the water front area - contaminated and polluted - hoodwinking the public in broad daylight.
The Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP)
started at a price of $6 Billion and will end
up costing the tax payers $12 Billion plus -
it does not faze the SF BOS and Mayor - the
rampant corruption of the worst order -
prevailing at the SF Public Utilities Commission -
led by Juliet Ellis.
Now, let us talk about the two Treatment Plants that we have one in San Francisco - one in the the Bayview -the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant.
The second one - the one situated by Ocean Beach - in close proximity to the Ocean Beach.
Both Treatment Plants received umpteen Notice of Violations (NOVs) that the Mayor is not aware of .
If the details are discussed on this blog - it will shame the Mayor.
More the SF Public Utilities Commission - and of course the dumb SF Board of Supervisors - who run their mouth on other mundane topics - but fail to address Quality of Life issues - in San Francisco.
This is Ohlone land - each and every square inch was stolen - the First People - do not appreciate the lack of respect - treating human beings that are poor - with disdain.
The lack of empathy and compassion - all that with a budge of $12.4 Billion - yes, $12.4 Billion.
