Banners such as the one above -
hoodwinking San Franciscans -
in broad daylight.
The City and County of San Francisco - has never once - conducted - a deep, vetted, "needs assessment" - when it comes to so called affordable housing in San Francisco.
We have more than 25,000 homeless in San Francisco - many slowly dying - other taken to jail - deprived of their freedom and treated like animals.
Even the RSPCA treats their animals better.
Please - visit our jails and see things for ourself.
If you are poor - and cannot defend ourself - one can land in jail - why - because you are given the title of indigent - and treated like excreta - we are supposed to be a land of laws.
All this in San Francisco - the City names after Saint Francis of Assisi - who cared for the poor and more.
Our Public Defender is elected - we miss Jeff Adachi who passed away - the SF Public Defender's Office - has its hands full - but as least in San Francisco - we have someone on the side of the indigent :

Our skyline has changed - drastically -
the filthy rich - and it the shadows of the skyscrapers -
the poor so called indigent -
if you fall in this category - you could land in jail -
just of being poor - while many of you -
pander to the politicians - Go Figure !

Affordable to whom?
Are there a substantial number of units available to those making less than $50,000 a year - a family father, mother and two children?
Let us even say anyone making $80,000 and less?
Hundreds of homes -
built on very contaminated ground -
in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco -
more, foul air - does not address Quality of Life Issues.
The over 30,000 housing units planned in the Southeast Sector of San Francisco are all built on contaminated land - prone to severe liquefaction and flooding.
Has anyone challenged this fact?
No - because the majority who bark up the wrong tree - including Mayor London Breed - are not educated on issues, and less have empirical data - to back their vague plans.
Big Developer are now looking forward to a Bond Measure - more than $600 million - so that Property Managers - corrupt to the core can make tons of money the John Stewart Company, Bridge Developers, Mercy Housing - others too many to name - we are watching you like a HAWK.
Please take some time to read the contents of this one link - that will give you an idea - how we continue to push for plans - having NO idea about congestion, contamination, toxic hotspots.
Severe chronic respiratory diseases, cancer of all sorts, tumors, the well known " toxic stress " - is full blown in those areas that are polluted, contaminated - large areas that are prone to severe flooding and liquefaction.
A plethora of other significant and pertinent issues - that most of these idiots - cannot comprehend :

As the Director of Environmental Justice Advocacy for the last 35 years - I have been on the forefront - fighting for the infants, children, youth, young adults, our Elders, those with compromised health, more our mentally and physically challenged.
Attended hundreds of meetings at the SF Planning, Land Use, Sf Board of Supervisors - the SF County Transportation Authority, the SF Public Utilities Commission - other too many to mention - today at all of the above mentioned Commissions and Committee - corruption has reached saturation - point.
The Sunshine Task Force is impotent, the SF Ethic Commission reduced to a circus, the SF Attorney's Office will now rubber stamp issues.
The SF City Attorney picks the cases that win the Department brownie points.
The Controller's Office - tries its best but no one will come forward - if inherently there are NO timely and stellar results - worth the salt.
The crooks are busy - lying, cheating, stealing, bluffing, hoodwinking - and those that speak Truth to Power - are like John the Baptist - waiting for their heads to be chopped.
Not once has the City and County of San Francisco had a hearing - brought the above mentioned issues linked to Quality of Life issues - to the table.
More - with fathers and mothers - giving the most adversely impacted community - an opportunity to state their case and offer solution with achievable goals and timelines.
San Francisco in large manner are astute and stellar.
More - have the tenacity and fortitude to represent and have contributed a lot of progress - to this City and Count to San Francisco - on many fronts.
We all appreciate their endeavors - not that of the corrupt politicians - who do not have their heart - in the right place.
On the contrary we have many " loud mouth " - sell out the likes of London Breed, Malia Cohen, Sophie Maxwell, Sheryl Evans Davis, Shamann Walton, Dwayne Jones, Juliet Ellis - the Mayor's Office of Economic Development and Workforce - who steal the curriculum from some else - and are busy pushing an agenda - that is all fluff.
We have over 40,000 homes vacant and over 80,000 market price units - going for between $3 million and $10 million - and no one is looking into - this one sordid cancer - starring at us in our face.
To date there has been NO adjudication on the Academy of Art University - that bought hundreds of building - most of the having " rent control status " - and converted them to dormitories.
As usual those pushing for the Housing Propositions - so called affordable housing - are looking forward to huge sums of money - Bond Measures - that we tax payers - will vote for - but have NO say - with minimal transparency and accountability - how the money will be spent.
So far some $600 million that we know Bond Measures - that the hard working, tax paying citizens are NOT going to have a say - with no empirical data - and not once has there been a meaningful - hearing.
Who is fooling - whom?
Congestion has reached -
saturation point - our Mayor and others -
barking up the wrong tree -
the air and environment is contaminated -
innocent infants, children, Elders most impacted.
It could take one - one hour -
just to cross a couple of blocks -
it is happening - right now.
Our homeless situation some 25,000 and growing - are slowly dying on the streets of San Francisco.
Our rents are hellish - one bedroom now going for $3500 and two bedroom for $5000 plus.
Our infants are fast falling prey to chronic respiratory diseases and asthma is on the increase.
As part of the " toxic stress " acknowledged by health experts - our women more single women are falling prey all sorts of tumors and cancer - more women of color - are dying earlier.
The middle and upper class women hold summits - with fancy names - but there is NO action - to address the issues at hand adversely impacting more women than men.
For all the vain talk - the women that hold the summit and talk from both sides of their mouth - do not care for the women, infants, children, youth, young adults, our beloved Elders, our men of course - who need help.
Most impacted those with compromised health more our mentally and physically challenged.
In the past - we let some to contaminate
and pollute our land in San Francisco -
there is only so much of dense housing -
that any city can take -
STOP making San Francisco another Manhattan -
we know better - those of us that care.
This is Muwekma Ohlone land - and when the Chairperson of the Muwekma Ohlone addressed the SF Board of Supervisors - no one seemed to be paying attention.
Mayor London Breed is a Joke - to have such a person here in San Francisco - does NO one - worth the salt any good.
Thugs and criminals are having a field day - making hay while the sun is shinning.
Decent San Franciscans - are fed up - and there is No forum - no avenue to speak Truth to Power.
This City and County once has some conscience no more.
More and more with too much emphasis given to life style - and a life style that does not have morals, less ethics, for sure NO standards - this once great City - is going to hogs.
