BOTH DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS - HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS - WE CAN CURTAIL MASS SHOOTINGS - BY USING THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE - BUT DO NOT WANT TO EXECUTE.

Mitch O'Connell, the minority whip in the Senate - still has clout - when any bill comes before the Senate. Again and again, Mitch votes against any bill that addresses the curtailing of assault weapons - military weapons sold to civilians. Weapons that kill - even the Police - fear such weapons with Teflon bullets and more.

Our nation is in mourning, and rightly so. 

No human being worth the salt can bear the loss of a young person - more, death brought about by a killer - who himself - needed help.

We do not have to possess assault weapons that the military use - machine guns, assault weapons - that can be loaded with hundreds of Teflon bullets.

Bullets - that tear through bones - destroy organs - bullets that bring about death. 

Mitch O'Connell corrals the Republican Senators like sheep.

These Senators must be ashamed of themselves - when they could have stopped many of these shootings and killings - but have not.

How many more marches - petitions - pleadings do we need to bring about change? Why are there no reforms in the pipeline? The Democrats and Republicans - putting our children's lives on the line - every life matters.

The Senators, both Democrats, and Republicans - continue to play with the lives of our children and others. 

We could raise the age level to 21 years.

We could have a better system - a centralized system - that tracks all those who buy assault guns - more, those with mental and psychological issues.

We could caution the gun sellers and manufacturers to add firewalls to stop those who should not buy guns.

It is time for manufacturers to be held accountable - brand names listed - the killings, maiming, and shootings with guns bearing the manufacturer's name. 

Added - these gun manufacturers must pay into a fund - to help the victims and their families.

Help pay hospital bills and other healing treatments.

A letter from their local police station, a letter from their parents, a letter from a doctor - a psychologist or psychiatrist - if there is some doubt about the young buyer - being mentally or psychologically challenged.  

Those who are 21 years could also be accompanied by some adult who has known them for over ten years - and is a professional person - teacher, policeman, doctor, or engineer from their community. 

The young person must remember that buying a gun is a serious responsibility.

Those guns bought by these young folks - must be under lock and key - so that an adult - gives them permission to use the weapon - and the firearm released for what purpose - hunting, target practicing, and so on.

More guns are owned by individuals in the United States than in any other nation on Earth.

Each year thousands die - shot, killed, maimed - and most of us look at the situation as if we can do nothing. 

We all can - put the matter on the ballot and vote.

Write your Congressperson and Senator - you will be surprised how that works. We all count on this fight for justice.

The right to bear arms does not mean we shoot to kill children or innocent people. Let us not take this one statement out of context.

We may not know that even if we form small focus groups in our community, we can take baby steps to end the sale of assault weapons.

Eva Mireles was a teacher at the Robb Elementary school - she taught for 17 years. There - was one more teacher that died too. 21 in all died - children do not have to die. Not in this manner - we can try to curtail the sale of assault weapons. There are other ways - to stop the sale of assault weapons - we can use our digital skills.  

WHEN A CNN REPORTER ASKED PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN - IF CHINA ATTACKED TAIWAN -WOULD THE UNITED STATES INTERVENE - THE PRESIDENT SAID " YES ". IF MUST BE LEERY OF CHINA AND ITS MANY NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES.

 

When a CNN reporter asked President Joe Biden - if China attacked Taiwan would the United States intervene - the United States President said, " YES? " What is there more to say? We have situations in San Francisco - we know those that have our best interest - and those who are greedy - have no values - we call them sellouts - and they are in our business at all times.

We are the United States of America - and we must not tolerate China flooding our nation with trinkets, and opioids, stealing our information, threatening our United States Airforce - and making all sorts of statements - trying to intimidate - the United States. 

Xi Jinping

China has crossed the line again and again - it hacked our United States Office of Personnel Management - and stole millions of documents. Compromising the security of millions - Security Clearances. Hacked the Pentagon and other corporations - most of the technology China uses today - to prop its military - is stolen. 

Here in the United States, we have over 300,000 Chinese students from Mainland China and over 30,000 spies - working hard - day and night to steal our information - to prop up the Communist Government - in Mainland China.

Our politicians have NO clue about the Chinese they pander to here in San Francisco.

It is just a matter of time -when we all will realize - you give the enemy a little - and they will take a hundred times - more. 

Millions of Uyghurs - Muslims - who live in northern China - have been rounded up. The Chinese tugs - raped the Uyghur women and tortured the Uyghur men. China forced the Uyghurs to speak Mandarin - which is not their language.

Here is San Francisco - we make a mockery of our democracy by allowing some to speak in Cantonese -  repeating the same message - many times over - and think we are encouraging - freedom of speech. We do this without a second thought - at Public Comment - making it a charade of our deliberation - providing an interpretation with double time.

Recently, we had a Redistricting Task Force linked to the redistricting map - here in San Francisco. The charades continued - some abused the Public Comment process, failed to do due diligence, and failed to speak - truth to power.

We in San Francisco are decent citizens - we witnessed blatant lies, gerrymandering, and the key culprits, some American Chinese on the  SF Redistricting Task Force. They have no clue about our democracy.

Many SF Redistricting Task Force members have not read the United States Constitution.

Failed to read the City Charter,  Civil Rights Act of 1965 - nor understand fully - the process linked to redistricting - again and again - laws have been broken. 

No one in the Portola District worth the salt wants to join Visitation Valley. Yet some Chinese arbitrarily speak for us who live in District 9 - and this nonsense must stop.

No one in Portola District wants to join Potrero Hill - these machinations and ploys - are created for ulterior motives - led by some devious Chinese agents. Again this nonsense must stop.

If we are not careful, the Chinese, who have access to vast amounts of dark money -  will create a lot of confusion and pandemonium - and adversely impact - the quality of life issues.

It does not help that in District 9 and District 10 - we have corrupt representatives - I never, ever saw them fight with us in the trenches - for the rights of the people.

Recently without any public meeting, without any public input - $15 million was given to a CYC, an agency - that fails to encourage - fair play and justice.

CYC - has just come into the community and now thinks that they can address safety issues - in a convoluted - manner.

On San Bruno Avenue in San Francisco - we have many businesses. Many of the businesses - are run by the Chinese - not a Black works at these businesses - not one Black.

It is the same in Chinatown - you will see no Blacks hired by the Chinese businesses.

LatinX and others - see the blatant discrimination - while those practicing it daily - think everything is fine and dandy.

When it comes to good actions that count, and you fail miserably -you cannot possibly be politically correct - and be fair.

If you practice parochialism - think you are right - all the time. You will fail. 

Do a thorough needs assessment of your ways, your behaviors, your sordid actions - learn to be American first.

Some practice divisiveness of the worst kind.

Use dark money - and work for the enemy.

There is a problem - looming on the horizon - sooner or later - someone will stop this ongoing - mess.

Maybe the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

President Joe Biden was asked - if the United States would stand by Taiwan if attacked by China? President Joe Biden

 answered, " Yes. "

The U.S. Jetfighters stand ready. 

Taiwan will defend itself - the United States - will do what is necessary - to deal with any entity that attacks Taiwan.

San Francisco has politicians who are not educated on issues.

Few know what is happening in Ukraine - they gather from the Main Media - failing to have access to empirical data. 

In our neighborhoods, we see long food security lines.

Most - standing in line are Chinese - those doling out the food are Blacks. All this makes no sense.

The SF United Nations Plaza - by 7th and Market Street - is a flea market - the same food distributed to the Chinese - is sold on the streets.

This behavior - does this make sense - does this bode well - for decent San Franciscans?

Wait for a MUNI bus - and try to bode the bus - the Chinese will rush - push you out of the way.

They - will not excuse themselves - and yet they are first to say and shout - someone hurt their feelings?

In China, no one has a right to own the land.

Here is America - anyone who has the right to live in the United States can own land.

This ownership of land that the Chinese here in the United States aim for - is used for ulterior motives.

Once they own the ground - the house - they become bold - and start ordering others around. This nonsense must STOP.

San Francisco is moving in the wrong direction - we saw the tip of the iceberg - during the Redistricting Task Force - meetings.

At the many Redistricting Task Force meetings, the Chinese task force members fostered gerrymandering with the intent - to favor some.

The Redistricting laws and regulations - prohibit demeaning any section of the community in any district. Our democracy is best served by those that have read the Constitution, the SF Charter, and the Civil Rights Act of 1965. 

It would help if those who are divisive - take a workshop - to understand cultural competency. Make an attempt to learn English - stop repeating the same message - many times - what are these folks trying to tell us?

Make an attempt to offer jobs to others - who are not Chinese - much as others have opened the doors to Chinese -  who now are biting the hand that feeds them.

Blacks were insulted - and things got out of hand - at the SF Redistricting Task Force - the video is available from SFGOVTV.

Let us not leave out the Native Americans or the LGBTQ community - the blatant disregard in District 6 says it all - our representatives are not representing us - and the time has come - to send them a strong message - come Election time.  

As for Taiwan - the United States will stand by Taiwan - this promise was made soon after World War II.

Mainland China got into the Security Council - years after World War II - primarily by getting their votes from African countries. Of course, the Chinese Americans - in San Francisco would not know that. 

Many Blacks lived in Chinatown in San Francisco in the fifties and sixties.

Today these feuding must STOP - the City and County of San Francisco are placating some by giving them millions on a platter.

Any way one looks at San Francisco today, the quality of life issues have been compromised.

The streets of San Francisco stink to high heaven.

One has to be on one's guard - you never know who may attack you - assault you, or even stab you?

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors talks a lot because the tongue that they wag have has no bone.

 

THE SF POLITICIANS - DO NOT HAVE A VIABLE AND SUSTAINABLE PLAN - WHEN IT COMES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING - RESOURCES SUCH AS WATER AND SEWER - MOST TALK IN CIRCLES - RAKING IN MILLION TO FILL THEIR CAMPAIGN COFFERS.

 

We must not take our clean drinking water for granted. We do so millions of gallons of clean drinking water used for flushing our toilets. All this in the year 2022.

The politicians in San Francisco are corrupt - attend any meeting in person or virtual - you will notice - these jerks speak in circles.

Corruption in San Francisco has reached saturation point.

Never mind, the Federal Bureau of Investigation had to step in and indict someone like Harlan Kelly and warn his wife, Naomi Kelly.

 One is the former General Manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, and the other is the SF City Administrator.

Read the Raker Act of 1913 to be educated on issues:

https://www.mid.org/about/history/raker_act.html

Our SF Board of Supervisors is arrogant and mostly ignorant.

None of them have read the Raker Act of 1913 - none of them understand about our Watershed, less the contamination of our Bay - we are surrounded on three sides by water - the Bay waters are contaminated.

The present SF Board of Supervisors mostly talk in circles - on their agenda, they have mundane subjects - they do not comprehend the meaning of Quality of Life issues - hence the drugs sold on our streets of San Francisco.

San Francisco leads the nation - in the number of addicts who die from Opioids - thousands die - the opioids are manufactured mainly in China - brought in by Mexican cartels - the SF Board of Supervisors - is fast asleep in the cockpit.

The homeless situation is getting worse - tent cities all over.

Urban Alchemy milking the SF taxpayers - wasting millions - and kicking the can down the street.

The Mayor of San Francisco will use any opportunity to speak - talking from both sides of her dirty mouth - barking up the wrong tree.

I have been monitoring the situation for over 40 years - and today, the problem is the worst ever.

The San Francisco Health Department has a budget of over $3 billion  - has failed our infants, children, youth, young adults, and Elders. Those with compromised health - more, the mentally and physically - challenged.

The City and County of San Francisco have a budget of over $14 billion - and cannot provide baseline services - when it comes to clean streets and meaningful response when the SF Police Department is called; our hospitals do not have the required beds to provide services to our mentally challenged.

Thousands of our children are suffering - the doctors and those in the know who comprehend the situation - say they will do something - but do not. Who is responsible for pandemonium?

The politicians talk about affordable housing - recently listening to the Mayor's Office of Economic Development - pointing the finger at the Housing Element - the experts say only if they have 3 billion dollars - can they solve the problem.

We have over 1500 toxic hotspots in San Francisco.

There has been no plan to abate or mitigate these toxic hotspots.

Former SF City Attorney - current General Manager of the SF Public Utilities Commission - making over $450,000 - the fox guarding the chicken coop - only in San Francisco.

The SF Public Utilities Commission - continues to mix groundwater with the Hetchy Hetch water - often, the water coming out of our faucets - stinks - you complain - and there is no - response.

The Ocean Sewage Treatment Plan - spews raw sewage - into the Pacific Ocean.

Amazingly, this issue has not come before the SF Public Utilities Commission - for the public - know what exactly is happening?

How many Notice of Violations does it take - both at the Phelps Raw Sewage Treat Plant and the Ocean Treatment Plant by the SF Zoo - to fix the problem - attain and maintain Quality of Life issues?

Both the Legislative Branch- the SF Board of Supervisors and the Executive Branch - have failed San Franciscans.

Dwayne Rudolf Jones - philanthropist and gatekeeper of the Bayview - who hails from Los Angles - lives in the East Bay - uses taxpayers' money - wheeling and dealing - still around - bragging he can do what he pleases. How many does he have on his payroll?

Thugs use SF taxpayers' money - and call themselves philanthropists? One of them, Dwayne Jones - for all the talk - he is still busy - maintaining foundations - wheeling and dealing!

BIG DEVELOPERS WAITING ON THE SIDELINE - TO BUILD MARKET RATE HOUSING - THEIR PRICE LOCATION - LAGUNA HONDA HOSPITAL AND RECREATION CENTER - THE SF JUVENILE HALL - THE STONESTOWN PROJECT MOVES FORWARD..

I would often stop to visit patients I knew - taking the 44 Muni - that stopped right in front of the gate - then taking the 44 Muni back at Forest Hill Station - to get back home. I have fond memories of Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center.

Over a hundred and sixty-six years ago - San Franciscans - gathered donations to build the Poor and Alms House - now known better as Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center.

Laguna Honda Hospital has had its trials and tribulation - those in charge - making stupid decisions.

The people united - took the matter before the ballot - protested - we even had a doctor and a nurse - the Doctor Derek Kerr, MD - take the authorities to task and expose the blatant corruption.

Millions of dollars were spent to build the new section of Laguna Honda Hospital - once completed, it received a Leed Standard.

So, what is it that made the Federal Authorities that monitor Seniors - and the service they receive - charge and write up so many Notices of Violations? 

San Franciscans passed a Ballot Measure to build the newer sections - there were several cases of misappropriation - linked to construction. We attended meetings - spoke up - protested - and found some solace - when we visited the patients at Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center and found they loved the new home.

Even as the patients were enjoying their new surroundings - we noticed the SF Health Department - making blatant mistakes - and to this day - the errors continue.

Why would anyone choose with intent - mix addicts with vulnerable Seniors - many of whom are mentally challenged - many suffering from dementia and related issues.

Other paralyzed needing special assistance - from highly trained and specialized nurses. I have seen them at work - they do God's work.  

Imagine a family with great difficulty finding a bed for a loved family member. Visting the family members - only to be told - that some addict - was preying on them. 

Some staff steal drugs and sell the drugs for profit.

The staff stealing money from the Patients Fund - a fund set aside for celebrating birthdays, Christmas, Hanuka, and other celebratory events - only for the Staff at Laguna Honda - to be caught with their hands in the cookie jar. 

Dr. Michael Philips is the current CEO. Was this appointment made with ulterior motives? Some despicable entities - trying to move the patients out - to build market-rate housing? Can you imagine finding room to move 700 patients - most of them needing exceptional help - a gigantic task? What has the Mayor - London Breed- to say about this mess?   

Doctor Derek Kerr is much loved by the patients and is an honorable man, scholar, and excellent doctor - he had to take the Laguna Honda authorities to court and win his case. 

Check this report - linked to Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center:

https://www.lagunahonda.org/sites/default/files/docs/Laguna-Honda-Hospital-Annual-Report20-21.pdf

At the many SF Health Commission Meetings - I used to attend - I heard of all sorts of crimes committed by some staff.

It always takes a few bad apples - knuckleheads - to screw things for others. 

Crooked staff from Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center - were moved from Laguna Honda to the SF General Hospital.

Some of us brought these issues before the SF Health Commission - to no avail.

Today nothing much has changed - SF General Hospital is a mess.

The SF Health Commission kicking the can down the street. 

Nancy Pelosi represents San Francisco - has not said a word about Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center - nor has Gavin Newsom - both should step up and ratify the situation. Our Seniors, our Elders in their golden age, need our support. 

Nancy Pelosi has her man Dan Bernal on the SF Health Commission - not a whimper from him?

Scott Weiner should be ashamed of himself - he has not said a word about Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreational Center - fiasco. Scott is in bed with big developers - raking in millions - paying lip service to the needs of San Franciscans.

What do the Democrats have to say about this mess? More those who continue to bark up the tree every day - raking in millions, filling their campaign coffers, paying no attention - to Quality of Life issues in San Francisco.

Millions were spent to build the SF Juvenile Hall.

Millions were spent to build the SF Juvenile Hall. It had all sorts of problems. I remember Mr. William Sifferman and  Allen Nance came from Chicago to remedy the situation - nothing much happened.

Both Mr. William Sifferman and Allen Nance - were ganged upon - and sent packing. I watched this - with some politicians - talking about building market-price housing - after tearing down the present SF Juvenile - millions of dollars spent - to create the current SF Juvenile Hall by Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center.

Why is San Francisco so primitive when caring for our children and youth?

Today's youth are astute and know what is right and wrong?

Today's counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers, and case managers - those working at the SF Juvenile Hall - know that incarceration is not what the taxpayers want.

We know what happens when prisoners spend time incarcerated - it all starts when the youth are treated with disdain.

The scars of incarceration are profound - and those of us - who try our best to help the youth - know the trials and tribulations -  we can help but not without spending thousands of hours of naturing, support, moral and spiritual - uplifting.

There were times we found baffling - over 60% of those incarcerated at SF Juvenile Hall - were Black and Polynesian.

Inside SF Juvenile Hall today - there are fewer incarcerated - than one has fingers on one hand. Community-Based organizations are vying to provide services - other Non-Profits too. Missing in the equation is the input of the Juvenile youth - who detest incarceration - where many youths - are treated with disdain - and that is putting it lightly.

Here in San Francisco, every ten years, we have the Housing Report - it kind of gives us an idea - how to tackle - the problem of Affordable Housing - of course, we want to know affordable to whom. 

Here is the latest Housing Report - the City and County are trying their best to address - affordable housing - it is making plodding progress:

https://sfplanning.org/sites/default/files/documents/reports/2020_Housing_Inventory.pdf

Some politicians - more Black in San Francisco - are as corrupt as they come.

Again and again, they are in bed - with the Big Developers -  these crooks are looking at the bigger picture - take Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center.

The adjacent where the SF Juvenile Hall - is also slated to be torn down.

We, the taxpayers, look at the politicians as clowns.

The hearings are hogwash. How many years have the taxpayers - fought for our Elders - the Poor House was built by San Franciscans one hundred and sixty years ago. Not the City and County of San Francisco.

As often happens, the City and County of San Francisco - will take things over -  brag it will do this and that - and fuck things up.

As I see it - if Laguna Honda Hospital and Recreation Center closes - the people will revolt.

Many- of the SF Supervisors and the Mayor - will bear the people's wrath. 

Make no bones about it.

 

VULTURES ZERO-IN ON DRUG ADDICTS - INEBRIATED - CONFUSED - MENTALLY CHALLENGED - ADULTS AND SENIORS - CHARGING OVER $50,000 EACH PATIENT - KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE STREET - NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND LESS TRANSPARENCY.

 

We are watching you like a hawk - make no bones about this sordid situation - it is getting worse.

Vultures use drug addicts - the inebriated - prey of those stressed in the middle of the pandemic, those confused - those overcoming other hurdles - those evicted - more adults and seniors - living on the streets of San Francisco.

For $80,000 a year, one can rent a tent - it comes with three meals - and a pitstop thrown in for some satisfaction. 

The vultures charging each patient $50,000 -  coming before the SF Budget Committee with presentations - half-cooked - and estimates that defy standards - no one cares to audit these - charlatans.

We have so many mentally challenged on the streets of San Francisco. Add to that the many who have been traumatized - most have had COVID - many three or four times over.

There is a surge - BA-2 Variant that even though one may have the two vaccination, the two boosters - under one's belt - can be infected by this BA-2 and play havoc. 

Those totally unvaccinated - mostly die - and yet - San Francisco has not made it mandatory to wear a mask.

The institutions that are supposed to help those adversely impacted - cannot cope with the numbers - many in need - wait for months on end for urgent treatment.

Most suffer endlessly - their ailments turning - chronic. 

San Francisco leads the nation -  the many thousands who die from opioids - meth, Fenythal - other dangerous pills - manufactured in China - and sent to Mexico - then smuggled to California and the rest of the nation.

China is wholly responsible for this endemic of drug addiction - another ploy besides stealing our copyrighted information, other information linked to our weapons, and communication apparatus - targeting our health and welfare - while selling us - cheap trinkets.   

Addiction is hellish - and only those who suffer " cold turkey " and the abject abuse from their surroundings know most what it means to be maltreated.

We have so-called " hot teams." - other so-called Case Managers - there are counselors - who purport how to help those in need. 

Psychologists who act like Psychiatrists  - each vying to create statistics - one to 30 patients - one to 40 patients - making good money. 

The San Francisco Health Department has a Director who deals with " Wellness" that has NO standards -  lacks a sustainable and viable program.

 Why do we hire these jerks from New York - when we have better-qualified people here in San Francisco. 

One has just to study the pay salaries of these folks - bleeding the General Fund of our City and County of San Francisco. 

It takes months to hire - these folks be they Registered Nurses, Case Managers, Counselors with better qualifications - Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Nutritionists - others.

Medical Technicians, Doctors who deal with the mentally challenged - Behavioral scientists, and Data Collectors -  all making good money - but the operations - do not deliver - the results are poor at best. 

One program dealing with the mentally challenged - cost over $84 million.

Another cost $200 million, yet another was priced over $400 million.

The current Chair of the Budget and Appropriation Committee - and the others on the Committee - keep repeating some glaring mistakes - each year. 

No entity should come to the meeting - without a sound presentation. A presentation with many grey areas and loopholes says it all.

Lack of a sound needs assessment - lack of goals - for sure having no accountability. 

Add to lack of transparency, and there is nothing more to say - except these vermin do not need any consideration. 

Some entities do not have their lease in place.

Without - having all agreements - more when two or three entities adjoin to work together - but have not done their homework - how to operate and serve the population they serve.

We have a few entities who play our system - these entities and those who harbor them - must be audited. Millions of dollars - are wasted.

No manager should remain in a place for more than 10 years - the longer they stay in one place - the more they are prone to abject corruption - that is fostered - until it reaches the saturation point. 

Our Elders are suffering the most - and no know seems to care.

If this behavior continues - we the people - will protest - we will release the salaries these jerks earn - and the abysmal performance that mandates they be removed from office.

We see it with the other dubious institutions and now with Urban Alchemy - which is wasting millions of dollars - its first program started five months ago - the program has been extended for another - six months.

The Budget Appropriation Committee - listened to a presentation - by Urban Alchemy - that met no standards - it was approved by the Chair of the Budget Appropriation Committee -  $450,000 for another six months. Only in San Francisco.

Not a whimper about shootings on Mid-Market - Private Security guards and so-called Practitioners - who work for Urban Alchemy - confronting one another.

Nothing much has changed on the streets - and those paid $17.50 an hour - so-called practitioners who work for Urban Alchemy - hustle as they used to - before they spent time in jail.

 Not all of them - but most. The taxpayers and decent citizens of San Francisco - are held - hostage.

So what happens after - the six months are over? Who will hire the Urban Alchemy practitioners - who certify these practitioners - and how can they perform duties as security guards - without carrying certified - security guard cards?

How many of those employed by Urban Alchemy - will be prepared for Career Jobs?

Is it accurate that the CEO who leads Urban Alchemy  - involved in the infamous - pitstop scandal conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation  - now makes $220,000? 

The same person is on the Our City, Our Home, Oversight Committee but does not attend the meetings?

This in your face - blatant defiance - to defy corruption and foster it in broad daylight - is out of control - and involves over $40 million. Think about this - all taxpayers' money.

Those entities involved in non-profits are raking in the money-making hay while the sun shines.

Endorsed by the SF Health Department, the SF Controller, the Mayor of San Francisco, the SF Office of Emergency Services, the SF Police Department - and others. 

WHEN SF POLITICIANS - WITH INTENT USE THE PLIGHT OF THE POOR AS FODDER - WHEN THE SF BOARD OF SUPERVISORS - TALK IN CIRCLES - WASTE MILLIONS PRETENDING TO HELP THE POOR - THE CITY NAMED AFTER SAN FRANCISCO - IS IN DEEP TROUBLE.

Tent City in Oregon

We will always have the poor among us - even the Great Master has spoken to us and told us, " Blessed are the poor - for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "

What does it mean to be poor - do the privileged have some responsibility to help the poor?

There was a time in San Francisco - when we did not have camp cities all over San Francisco.

Around 1980 we saw the beginning of the poor - being treated with disdain in San Francisco - when it came to getting access to public housing and so-called affordable housing.

When Ronald Reagan ordered the mentally challenged to be released - many came to San Francisco.

The moderate climate suited their needs - it does not snow in San Francisco - as it does in many cities in the United States.

As the poor showed up in droves, the Non-Profits stepped up their social services - Saint Anthony's, Martin de Pores, Glide Memorial, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Catholic Charities - the many churches.

We had ample Public Housing - Potrero Hill, Hunters Point, Oakdale, Sunnydale, Western Addition, Alemany - most of it built by the Department of Defense.

When the Navy and Army chose to go away - the City and County took over the Public Housing - from the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and created the SF Housing Authority.

The SF Housing Authority - with intent - used deferred maintenance that adversely impacted Public Housing - and forced many to move away.

Once the tenants moved away - Bank of America and other financial institutions - allowed Nibbi, Cahill, and other dubious contractors - to upgrade the former Public Housing - that was rented for more money.

Mercy Housing owes the City and County millions - yet is loaned more money - by the Mayor's Office of Economic Development.

The Office of  Community Investment and Infrastructure (OCII) - a remnant of the former SF Redevelopment Agency, then named the Successor of the SF Redevelopment Agency - is now named OCII. 

This agency has failed San Francisco, and any standard audit - will prove that what I have been saying for the longest time - is correct.

The bottom line is that these few primes and property managers - are making millions - all developers - who do not have the best interest of the poor, affordable housing - upward mobility. 

The corruption is carried on in a convoluted manner - today, the City and County of San Francisco - is the most corrupt in the nation.

Most moved to District 6 - the Tenderloin - and those in the know - why?

The Single Occupancy Residency (SROs) - were always unkempt - one kitchen serving 20 to 30 people - the same with a toilet or two.

The Patels who fled from East Africa - bought the SROs - and milked the poor. These filthy dens - were used by drug addicts - there was rampant prostitution - the City and County allowed the SF Health Department- to occupy over 800 rooms - sending patients to live in these filthy conditions. 

This article from 2015 paints a good picture of tent cities - and gives the reader a better perspective - before - leading to today:

https://placesjournal.org/article/tent-city-america/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwyYKUBhDJARIsAMj9lkEA_jMpUcziLcHj2NwuGAPDrm9iiwzAWJ2GVnKR5sf189l8GGRGPMsaAg0KEALw_wcB&cn-reloaded=1 

The skyline of today's San Francisco

One of many tent cities in San Francisco

Mayor London Breed has no clue how to handle the homeless situation - she has failed us all - and given the opportunity to talk - London continues to bark up the wrong tree.

To carry on nefarious operations, mayor London Breed works with those in her inner circle - to create Committees, and use Urban Alchemy, contractors, and other modes - adversely impacting thousands.

Our City, our Home - Oversight Committee - all handpicked by Mayor London Breed - ramble a lot - but do not have a blueprint - funded well - to address homelessness.

There are other City Departments, each doing their own thing - there has been no audit. Each of these entities - bragging they are helping the poor - nothing much happening.

The most vulnerable, the mentally and physically challenged, the Elders, many live in the filthy condition in Single Residency Occupancy (SROs).

Where - where is the empathy - our City is named after Saint Francis Assissi.

Tent City between the SF Main Libary - and the Asian Museum - the tents do not follow CDC guidelines - and all sorts of drug deals going on - hoodwink the public at large in broad daylight.

Each City department does its own thing - the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.

Millions of dollars - linked to the Stimulus Bill - were misused - there is a current audit and investigation underway - conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Time will tell.

The same committee - Our City, Our Home - Oversight Committee - has no control over violence, safety, abject mentally challenged on our streets, jobs, childcare, mental health,  sound food security, warp around services, and wellbeing of the indigent.

Fails to address the poor living in a home - as opposed to the tents that can be rented - and sordid navigation centers - treat women and children with disdain.

Cartels operate all over SF Districts 2,3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and beyond.

Daily, these thugs take BART, our subway - come to San Francisco - land mainly in District 6 and carry on their daily trade - feeding the addicts with meth, heroin, fentanyl, weed, anything the poor souls need to not go cold turkey. 

Check this site - full of misinformation - who indeed formed Urban Alchemy - who call themselves - practitioners:

https://urban-alchemy.us/

Urban Alchemy was founded in 2017 in Ohio. Did some work in Los Angeles and now in San Francisco.

In the mid-market area, carded private security entities have to undergo training - pass a test - get a card to carry weapons - and perform security duties.

Urban Alchemy falls under a category - a non-profit - a loophole that allows security guards - that can be legally employed -  guards - who are not certified and have NO card. 

One Urban Alchemy employee was shot - others hurt - from certain entities attacking Urban Alchemy employees - also called practitioners.

These practitioners are formerly incarcerated individuals - who are told to maintain the peace - peace keepers - who cannot handle brute violence, shootings, and maiming, adding fuel to the fire.

Only in San Francisco - with the City and County of San Francisco - doling out - over $43 million. 

What is our SF Board of Supervisors doing? Nothing at all.

Where is the Controller's office and Ben Rosenfield on this? No one knows!

Today - it has decided to solve the homeless situation in San Francisco - given millions of dollars - our taxpayer's money.

Here is one recent article from the SF Examiner :

This experiment for a short duration  - the problem has not changed the homeless situation at all - more in the middle of a surging - SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Remember Communities of Opportunities

We know the charlatans when we see them.

We want to know who founded Urban Alchemy?

Who was behind approving this contract without a bid?

Who is condoning all the illegal activities that have been reported by the Examiner and other investigative reporters?

We did have a public meeting - and most of those living in Tenderloin - did not want a congregation of so many homeless dense shelters - adversely impacting the residents and compromising Quality of Life issues.

Some Non-Profits love getting money and spending it for ulterior motives - please do not use the poor and the unfortunate - as fodder.

We have Adult Probation - other proven non-profits - that have not been funded enough. Now here come Urban Alchemy - who claims it started in San Francisco - and the CEO claiming she is the founder. 

Every Non-Profit must have complete transparency - there is nothing much available on Urban Alchemy - some information available - states the CEO makes $220,000 - and there is more to this debacle.

Just surfing the website - it has no sound mission objective that makes sense.

It has no oversight committee.

The contract did not go out to bid - sole sourcing with an entity having over one thousand employees - is something we must monitor - more, with a shooting and other casualties - on the worksite - documented.
