IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CURRENT PANDEMIC - SAN FRANCISCO DECLARES WE HAVE OVER 5000 BUILDINGS PLUS - PRONE TO LIQUEFACTION - POORLY BUILT - MORE THOSE BUILT BEFORE 1960.

 

This is San Francisco's skyline - next to the Salesforce building - the Millenium Building - slowly sinking - the pilings went down just 80 feet - the Salesforce building 250 feet - why? 

San Francisco has just decided to declare thousands of poorly built homes and tall buildings built before 1970 - in the interim, the San Francisco Department of Building - has located all the homes and buildings - but refuses to state the latest location. 

In San Francisco, we have the SF Planning Department - doing as it pleases - mostly bought lock, stock, and barrel by the SF Developers. 

It does not help we have a dysfunctional SF City Attorney, the same could be said of the SF District Attorney, the SF Ethics Commission confused, the SF Controller's office confused. 

The SF Board of Supervisors - talking in circles  - appointing unfit folks to Committees - we are watching the show - like a hawk.

The SF President of BOS - a jailbird - thinks he can fool us in broad daylight - the day is coming - he has been involved with the worst type of corruption and is tied to the hip of Dwayne Jones.

Dwayne Jones the purveyor of all things corrupt - a so-called Philanthropist who uses taxpayers' money - to buy favors - hundreds of folks on his payroll. 

It is just a matter of time - when his assets will be seized and the Gate Keeper of the Bayview Hunters Point - will be led to spend a long time - vacation time - in a Federal Jail.

Shamann Walton - the SF President of the SF Board of Supervisors - wheeling and dealing - appointing handpicked crooks - to select committees - with one thing in mind - make money illegally.

It does not help that the former SF City Attorney - is now going to head the SF Public Utilities Commission - located at 525 Golden Gate Avenue.

The current SF Public Utilities Commission employees are jumping ship - they could not stand the corruption and discrimination before - more, when Harlan Kelly was the General Manager.

Harlan Kelly has been indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation - and his sidekick who spilled the beans - has left the SF Public Utilities Commission - so has Naomi Kelly - the former SF City Administrator - who has over 36,000 employees under her jurisdiction - the entire SF City and County of San Francisco - in utter turmoil.

For 25 years I have been monitoring the SF Public Utilities Commission - in 1996 the SF Public Utilities Commission was created by Willie L. Brown Jr. 

Prior to 1996, all the operations came under the SF Water Department - which still has a lot of doing with the SF Public Utilities Commission.

The SF Public Utilities Commission - is an Enterprise Department - it generates millions of dollars - charging for treated - clean drinking water. Not only to those living in San Francisco - but to its Regional partners - BASWA itself boasts 26 entities - all receiving clean drinking water.

Paradoxically - our clean drinking water that comes all the way from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir -  is used to flush our toilets. One would assume that in the year 2021 - greywater would be used - to flush all toilets.

San Francisco has a population of 850,000 - that used to accommodate over one and a half million people - pre-pandemic.

The SF Public Utilities Commission makes a lot of money -  treating the sewer and dumping the secondary effluents into the bay.

The SF Public Utilities Commission makes millions lease large tracts of land - to farmers - linked to grazing. 

The SF Public Utilities makes millions generating at Sunol - it has quarries - all these activities and more are not known to the public at large - taxpayers.

Added the SF Public Utilities Commission has Golf Courses - for the filthy rich to play - there are other activities the SF Public Utilities conduct - I will reveal them - at the appropriate time. 

Harlan Kelly has been indicted  - and as each day goes by - the thousands of SFPUC employees - are not prepared for the unsavory changes - and the hostile environment.

The former U.S. Attorney for Northern California 

David Anderson.

No one seems to care - the investigation initiated by David Anderson - gave many of us some consolation - the few indictments - and the more pending - was a step in the right direction.

The Sewer System Improvement Project started with a price totaling $6 billion - yes, six billion. It is now $12 billion - and in the years to come -  may cap at $20 billion.   

Some of us laypersons - have gone out of our way to expose the corruption. For the longest, the corrupt the likes of Harlan Kelly, Naomi Kelly, Masood Ordikhani, Juliet Ellis.

Dwayne Jones, Shaman Walton, Veronica Hunnicutt, Eloise Patton, Linda Richardson, Derf Butler, Keith Jackson others too many to mention- have been making hay - while the sun shines. No more.

Over $300 million Community Benefits - linked to the SSIP project - have been misused. Adversely impacting our infants, our children, our youth, our young adults, our beloved Elders - those with compromised health - more our mentally and physically challenged.

Who will speak for those that cannot defend themselves - and then we have to deal with the current Novel COVID-19 - pandemic.
