CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE DEPLETION OF THE OZONE - NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON A WAR FOOTING - NOT SO SAYS SAN FRANCISCO - ITS CAPITAL BUDGET - HAS NO TEETH - A LOT OF HOT AIR.

Here are some indigenous leaders who took on the strangers. The same ones that wiped the Buffallos cut old-growth redwood. Contaminated and polluted the land - our rivers and lakes - and now, at this late date - cannot offer an apology - and are playing with fire.

Climate changes have played havoc with California - raging fires, floods one of a kind, we even had unprecedented snow - thirty feet high - forcing many to stay in their homes - and many were found dead - as they could not leave their homes. 

San Francisco has a budget of $14 billion - yes - billion.

Yet - going forward - San Francisco will incur over $900 million - deficit this year and more in the future.

Billions of dollars have been wasted - San Francisco did not care -charging annually - $80,000 for a tent - placed in a parking lot.

Today it boosted charging $34,000 a year at its Navigation Centers - where congregate situations - impede curtailing COVID - and many women fear being molested and raped. 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has audited San Francisco - and the answers could be faster in coming - San Francisco spent millions without any accountability and transparency.

It does not matter that the ten-year Capital Budget talks about Climate Change in generalities - with no funding and no strict timelines and goals to attain any progress. 

The bottom line we want to know - give us the empirical data - the timelines, and goals - how San Francisco plans to address Climate Change - and drastically reduce the ongoing contamination and pollution?

Here is one report - that touches some what on Climate Change:

https://onesanfrancisco.org/

At a recent public comment, those on the Budget Committee were chatting - their backs to the public - this nonsense must STOP.

You need to present a line item budget to address Climate Change. 

You have created some fake reports by mentioning the factors - but you put no number - no dollars - to address the issue. 

Wake up, San Francisco - you sinking - much like the Titanic!

The streets of San Francisco are filthy -  tents everywhere - addicts galore - and many die daily from Fentanyl - what is happening?

Indigenous tribes know how to treat Mother Earth - and even today, with all the hostility, over forty percent of Mother Earth - is preserved and protected by indigenous tribes.

The City and County of San Francisco could have tapped into the Federal Infrastructure Bill and created digital platforms to address the adverse impacts of Climate Change.

We have the best minds in the Bay Area regarding innovative technology and more inventions in the computer field.

Truth be told - those who have authority at SF City Hall - have failed to challenge and keep some technology firms.

One-third of all the commercial space in the San Francisco Financial District is vacant - and some are planning to convert - office space into residential units.

The so-called experts are not ashamed to tell us it will cost those trying to convert office space into residential units - anywhere from $490,000 to $670,000 per unit.

In the interim, it would be wise to ponder - why 71,000 homes are vacant in San Francisco.

Geronimo - will be remembered forever.

Some of us cannot discern. Most need to be educated on issues. Only some can make a sound needs assessment on issues that matter.

Some of us witnessed the spiraling of the economy during the dot.com era.

We also witnessed the large financial institutions from 2008-2011 - being bailed out by the Federal Government - among them AIG, Goldman Sachs, and other central banks.

Did the Federal government come to the rescue of millions - who lost millions of their savings?

Well, we are already in a recession - and it is just a matter of time - if we are hit by some significant calamity - we will witness one of the worst hit - spiraling of our economy.

It is time we realize - how the GREEDY stole billions of acres from the Indigenous Tribes - and have paid them no reparations.

All of Turtle Island belongs to the indigenous tribes.

It is time we realize how we make a mockery by acting as buffoons - contaminating and polluting Mother Earth.

It is time we realize the indigenous tribes were here on Turtle Island for over 15,000 years - remains and artifacts carbon dated.

Here in San Francisco, we once had many Shell Mounds - for months, the local indigenous tribes mourned those who passed to the other side.  

The Abalone shells accumulated over hundreds of years - creating a mound - and the remains are found - many of the large Shell Mounds still exist.

Those who have their hearts in the right place - know this - and pay tribute. 

Before the pandemic - we walked from Shell Mound to Shell Mound and paid our respects. 

We have many indigenous people in the Bay Area - who challenge the advocates - why are we not Federally Recognized?

The answer is simple - if your heart is in the right place - the ancestors will see to it - one way or the other. 

As things stand, DNA worldwide has been used to prove to many nay-sayers - who have lived on this Earth for the longest - continuously as a tribe.

In the meantime, we need to be united - and not let the greedy - who stole the land - do not know the history of the land - do not respect Mother Earth - pollute and contaminate and think their actions count - when the opposite is true.

We will fight for our rights.

We stand united and fight for those Missing

We demand Justice - and we require it now.

The Great Spirit sees it all.

THE SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSIONERS - HAVE FAILED SAN FRANCISCANS - KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE STREET - WASTING BILLIONS OF MONEY - INVESTING IN PROJECTS DOOMED TO FAIL.

 

Ambassador Richard Sklar - also past Commissioner at the SFPUC.

Former SF Public Utilities Commissioner - Richard Sklar - understood every aspect of what was happening at the SF Public Utilities Commission - the present Commissioners -  kicking the can down the street. Leave the taxpayers and constituents of San Francisco in the dark. Mr. Sklar - is no more; we remember him as he listened to public comment - which today is an anathema to the present ignorant SF Public Utilities Commission and General Manager.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commissioners have failed San Franciscans - wasting billions of dollars - failing to make a sound needs assessment - on the many shady projects - that now need a thorough audit to STOP the bleeding - before the situation worsens.

Lying- to the public at large -  and figuring out how many contractors are fleecing the SF Public Utilities Commission in broad daylight.

There are safeguards within the San Francisco Administrative Code 54 - that mandate safeguarding corruption - and embracing checks and balances - this SF Administrative - does not apply to San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), or so the SFPUC thinks - hoodwinking the public in broad daylight.

The Southeast Community Facility Commission at 1800 Oakdale - located in the Bayview, comes under the City and County of San Francisco's jurisdiction- the SF Public Utilities Commission must maintain the Community Facility.

The leadership authorized have failed miserably to maintain 1800 Oakdale - they have the audacity now to nest themselves at 1550 Evans Street - and the old establishment is left to deteriorate - deferred maintenance.

There is a requirement for those holding positions preferably living in the Bayview Hunters Point area to truly serve the constituents of Bayview Hunters Point. Go Figure.

The 1800 Oakdale is slated to be torn down to build housing.

There has been no community meeting - outsiders with ulterior motives - and screwing the community in broad daylight.

SF Administrative Code 54

https://sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/ordinances00/o0108-00.pdf

The corruption at the SF PUC continues to grow and spread like a plague - the decision-making at all levels - lacks transparency and accountability.

Crooks who we know lie and cheat are promoted at the SFPUC. 

The current General Manager needs to learn about operations and maintenance. 

The current SFPUC General Manager needs to learn about the billions wasted - his sidekick Ron - is busy with mundane issues. 

General  Manager and Deputy General Manager - currently at the SF PUC - transported themselves from the SF City Attorney's office - where they held similar positions and failed miserably.

Here is one of many documents that need to be brought before the constituents of San Francisco - for discussion - to shed light where there has been abject - darkness:

https://sfplanning.s3.amazonaws.com/sfmea/2_Biosolids%20Digester%20DEIR_Vol%202.pdf

This is San Francisco - where many educated citizens are left in the dark. Stop hoodwinking us all - in broad daylight.

Here in the United States, we have treatment plants - like the one in San Diego and the one in Los Angeles - that have superior technology - and have served the respective populations well.

Here in San Francisco, we started with the Sewer System Improvement Project - with a budget of $6 billion.

It is now heading towards $12 billion - which should offer the community $600 million. But there is no one to audit the rooks - and the ignorant Commissioners who try to defy us - after we speak at Public Comment.

A community Task Force was created, and the Task Force was promised five percent of the budget. That amounts to three hundred million.

Once the Task Force created the document - Juliet Ellis and her lackeys - dismissed the SSIP Community Task Force - gave them a commendation, and Juliet Ellis took control of the situation.

Two individuals took charge of the Community Benefits - after the SSIP Community Task Force was dismissed - Dwayne Jones, a point person for AECOM - controlled one hundred and fifty million. 

Dwayne Jones, who fleeced the community - depriving the community of much-needed help - when thousands were in dire straits. Time will tell. He now has made his nest with the SF Port Authority, another racists City entity - an Enterprise Department -that keeps hiring male Whites in open defiance.

Dwayne Jones did not work for SFPUC - yet had an office at 525 Golden Gate - and ran the show - for a long time - blessed by Harlan Kelly, who is now indicted and failed us all in San Francisco.

Harlan and Naomi Kelly had top positions and could have uplifted many but chose not to.

His wife, Naomi Kelly, the SF City Administration - stepped own - because of the situation - and that was the end of the most potent Black couple - that many Blacks in San Francisco - boasted about.

Here is the scheme planned in detail - to hoodwink the community. Only the FBI could follow this scheme - as they only can follow the money.

Southeast COMMUNITY Facility Commission Building at 1800 Oakdale, San Francisco, will soon be closed without public meetings. The community building was built to foster education, create career jobs, and promote one-of-a-kind horticultural education. Have a place for Seniors to come and recreate and have meaningful meetings. Today - the site has elevators that do not work, Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning that does not work - some crooks want to tear down the building - to build homes. We are watching you thugs - like a hawk.

The 1550 Evans building - has yet to receive a signature - from an entity that dealer with Quality Control - that all is well with the building. 

Yet, there was an opening, and all sorts of shenanigans, ploys, and machinations are taking place - today.

The management of the 1550 Evans is a joke.

Those managing and operating the brand-new building - have yet to learn that they are not representing the community - I mean the community with the current demographics.

Some of us fought in the trenches for the community - now these wannabees have come to teach us how best to take care of San Francisco and more of the Bayview Hunters Point community.

It is a joke that most of those who live outside San Francisco - work in San Francisco - and give a damn about San Franciscans.

They say 33,000 folks work for San Francisco - and come under the SF City Administrator - Carmen Chu - former Assessor - now City Administrator -  they move around - the inner circle of utter corruption.

Thirty million was collected - some collaboration with SF City College. This has yet to happen. 

They say the Community benefits are there for the constituents of San Francisco - this is far from true.

Outsiders benefit  - - put in charge of our City Departments -  local San Franciscans kept out.

San Francisco is a corrupt City - what is more, the corruption is saturated - and will take decades to be wiped out.

There is a committee at SF City College - that is fully aware - of what is happening - again, the public at large has been taken for a wild ride.

We have seen banners all over Bayview Hunters Point - promising this and that - but at no point -  nothing worth the salt - has yet to be delivered. Today The Micro-LBEs are getting no support - they cannot bid on anything as some reference is made to an agreement - signed way back in 2018

The SFPU Commissioners are all lackeys - with NO engineering expertise - and playing with fire.

A Force Main that has been compromised at Pier 80 - the Force Main runs in the middle of the large shed. 

In 2002 - three conduits were dug - under the Force Main - the Force Main was compromised. 

The sitting San Francisco Public Utilities Commissioners  - none of the Commissioners are stellar engineers - have yet to learn what is happening with the Force Main. Time will tell.

Some band-aid has kept the Force Main - hanging - if we have an Earthquake, the Force Main will collapse - and a large area will be compromised. Life and death issue.

We need a hearing on the 1550 Evans building.

City College has invested $30 million - linked to the 1550 Evans building  - we need to find out more about this $30 million.

We know that 1800 Oakdale will no longer lease space.

There is an issue with 1800 Oakdale Heat Ventilation Air Conditioning  (HVAC) - fixing the system will cost millions. 

So someone has decided to mothball the building.

The SF Bayview Hunters Point community - must be noticed - the community fought for 1800 Oakdale. Only for outsiders to come into our community and make plans for us - without consulting us.

We have a General Manager who heads the SFPUC - who has yet to give us once a detailed report. 

Some staff member speaks - when the agenda item says " General Manager's Report " - on the agenda. The General says nothing - because he knows nothing much - he was the former SF City Attorney.

The General Manager makes $500,000 - and does nothing but spews diatribe.

Today we have no one in the community who understands the process - the outsiders - come and boss us - and so far - we have yet to take a position.

No one can fool - all the people - all the time.

We are watching you all - crooks - like a hawk!

Why does the Bayview Hunters Point community not know about killing the lease linked to 1800 Oakdale? 

A facility built by the advocates  - a long time when the San Francisco Water Department - maintained the building.

The SFPUC took over when Mayor Willie L Brown Jr. created the SFPUC - where most of his lackeys got a job - in 1996

The SF Public Utilities Commission has sent a letter to evict City College from 1800 Oakdale - the pretext is that the Heat Ventilation Air Conditioning repair will cost $90 million, so it would be better to tear down the building. Why?

Is there a plan to build housing - with uncouth parties behind this scheme pulling the wool over the eyes of the constituents of Bayview Hunters Point? The advocates who fought to build 1800 Oakdale - Southeast Community Facility Commission Building? The community fought for career jobs, space for our Elders, space for our children, and a meeting place for the community to meet and deliberate.

The political thugs have decimated the community. No one knows what is happening more during the pandemic - and all the virtual and dubious meetings - where the thugs meet and deliberate. We, the community, will not tolerate this ongoing nonsense. You who are hoodwinking the community are put on notice. We, the community, must be notified to meet, and this is your notice - to put the information mentioned above on the agenda.

In the interim, the San Franciso Public Utilities Commission can consider the following issues to deliberate:

   A.  The failing infrastructure on the Great Highway by the Pacific Ocean will cost about $ one billion - it must be moved at least a quarter mile East of its present destination - threatened by Sea-Level rise. 

   B. The Force Main by Marin Street collapsed after three conduits were dug under the Force Main. The Force Main - with a width of eight feet. The collapse happened in 2002, and the present SF Public Utilities Commission - has yet to learn about this issue - a time bomb waiting to explode - it will cost over five million dollars - if not ten million dollars.

   C. We have serious flooding issues on the Embacadero by the Ferry Building and all along the Embacadero - flooding entities like the Delancy Institution - forcing them to replace carpeting and furniture repeatedly. Fixing the problem will cost SFPUC and the most ignorant Commissioners - $ 400 million.

   D. On Folsom Street, very near 17th Street - year after year, the businesses endure flooding - costing millions to small businesses. The SF Public Utilities - will have to spend another $200 million to fix this problem.

I could mention twenty other problems - two issues clearly begging the question.

Number one - replacing the aging sewer and clean water drinking pipes - over 1000 miles of sewer pipes and 1200 miles of clean water pipes - eight percent of them - over 95 years old.

The taxpayers and constituents of the City and County were supposed to get a quarterly report. This was promised in 2016 - that promise has never been kept. When Karen Kubick left as the SSIP Project Manager - most everything - worth the salt - was flushed down the commode.

For the past four years - nothing at all. 

There are bond measures - approved by the taxpayers of San Francisco - that cover payment for this work. 

One bond measure issued early in 2000 - was supposed to deal with clean water and wastewater.

The Commission  - defied the taxpayers - then decided to deal with the clean waste - failing to use the money - meant to replace the wastewater pipes and related issues. Dereliction of duty.

Anothconsiderablerge Bond Measure was put to the vote - which the San Francisco taxpayer passed - to address wastewater - under the pretext the Treatment Plants were prone to seismic issues.

The " clean water" project was called - Water System Improvement Project. 

In like manner, the sewer water - was named Sewer System Improvement Project - (SSIP).

Then in 2016, we had another Bond measure - $6 Billion - once again, we were told we would get quarterly reports - on the brand new digester - a proprietary design from Norway - when we could have used an American design - San Diego and Los Angeles have - state of the art - Treatment plants. 

What makes San Francisco so unique to go aboard to have digesters - designed abroad - that will operate -  on energy that far exceeds the ability - to meet the energy needs of the Digestors - now being replaced at the Treatment Plant - in the Bayview.

Who does the deep thinking - who does the needs assessment - who is responsible for wasting billions of dollars - and we have the Chair of the SFPUC -  who has a Ph. D in horizontal and vertical construction. 

We have no engineers like Richard Sklar and Anson Moron - who understood every major project - who could analyze every line item - the current Commissioners are buffoons - and we care to tolerate their utter nonsense.

Items on tunneling, design-build projects, and outflows matter - various types of piping needs, generators, land use, energy issues,  workforce, and quality control, inventory, timelines and goals, the many Environmental Impact Reports - other matters that the current buffoons on the Commission do not comprehend.

The present Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP) - started with a budget of $6 billion - has now reached $12 billion - and before you know it - will reach $20 billion.

Technically speaking, 5% of the money spent on the SSIP must be set for the community - this has yet to happen - with meaningful discussion and sound outreach to the Bayview Hunters Point community.

The 1550 Evans Street Community and Recreational building - has No signoff - quality control - yet it is being used - which is a problem.

Another $300 has been raised by SF City College - to conduct classes at 1550 EvanIt has yet to be discovered what has happened with the $30 million. SF City College has a committee - this committee has been kept in the dark.

We know a former chancellor at the SF City College was fired - understand now that all sorts of political pressure have been applied to kill City College. We know that practically every household in San Francisco has gone to SF City College. What the hell is happening?

We appreciate the work done and the service provided by the professors at SF City College - who repeatedly threatened to lose their jobs.

Time and time again - we advocate for rights - the last time, we put SF City College on track - only for some evil people - trying to take down SF City College. 

So what does it take to have a committee that monitors the issues, and the committee is kept in the dark - with " dark money " and failing to provide the committee with empirical data - or facts that can be verified.

From out of the blue, the committee that monitors the pertinent issues at SF City Hall - has received a letter - about the closing of 1800 Oakdale.

The operations at 1800 - were transferred to 1550 Evans Street without meaningful discussion with the community.

Thugs now conduct " virtual meetings " and do what they please.

The operations now being conducted at 1550 Evans are moot - are a far cry from the aspirations of our Elders and stellar advocates - who fought for the community.

I have worked hard for forty years - I know the process.

The problem is the mostly Black sellouts - do not know the process - have no access to documents - these Blacks - corrupt are a disgrace to the human race.

Some of us are watching you thugs - you will be corralled - and you will have to deal with Law Enforcement. 

Stop the nonsense - while you have time to breathe in freedom - or you will linger in jail for a long time. Make no bones about this fact.

No one can fool all the people - all the time.  

The adopted SF Public Utilities Budget FY2020-21 and 2021-2022

https://sfpuc.org/sites/default/files/about-us/policies-reports/SFPUC_Adopted_Budget_FY2020-21_2021-22.pdf

 

WHO WILL SPEAK FOR THE INFANTS AND CHILDREN - WHILE THE OLD MEN - THINK OF WAR - KILLING, RAPING, PREYING ON THOSE WHO CANNOT DEFEND THEMSELVES - CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

 

There are still some pristine areas - on this Earth - even though the glaciers are melting and keep telling us their moving stories - daily. It does not matter that some nation keeps depleting the ozone - as the Earth gets warmer - the winds create the pandemonium we witness hurricanes, floods - intense cold, and snow that keep many indoors for weeks. Many are found dead - as they are trapped. 

The United Nations, the World Courts, the Vatican, and the many other wicked entities and institutions - using - ploys, machinations, and shenanigans - do not have our infants, children, youth, young adults, our beloved Elders, those with compromised health - in short, those that need help most - in mind.

Some nations, and we know who they are - with the intent to bring about destruction and, with that, atrocities of the worst order.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has had devasting adverse impacts all over the war. 

Food security has threatened many nations in the Middle East, the Continent of Africa, South America, Pakistan, and more.

Mostly in places that before we took for granted - could survive - today, no more. The horn of Africa suffering the most.

 Obviously, many need to be made aware of the actual facts facing millions all over the world.

Today -we are shocked - fully understanding that Ukraine and some other countries - feed forty percent of the world's population - with wheat, cooking oil - like sunflower oil, and other necessary foods.

The adverse impacts have brought about dire food insecurity - creating starvation and death. Among those most vulnerable are the Elders, the infants, the children, the youth - and of course, those with compromised health.

Wars - are not for the faint of heart - mostly adversely impact - infants, children, youth, our Elders - those with compromised health.

Today we understand and deal with our number one health issue - millions worldwide and here in the United States are mentally challenged. 

The current pandemic has ascerbated the situation at hand - and the hospitals and doctors needed to do justice to this unique population of the mentally challenged - are not to be found.

Thousands of the mentally challenged are taken advantage of - some lose all their savings - others lose their treasured heirlooms and other needed stuff - and land on the streets - slowly dying. 

We see thousands on the streets in many cities and here in San Francisco - daily, and the mentally challenged - are adversely impacted - too.

The San Francisco Health Department, which has a budget of over $2 Billion - does not have a vetted plan - the Tenderloin Center - next to the United Nations Plaza - was open to helping the addicts and resulting in attracting addicts from all over the nation.

The Tenderloin Center - the brainchild of Mayor London Breed - has brought about the destruction of property. The entire Mid-Market area is a war zone. 

Thousands of cars broken into, assaults, shootings, and killings - to this day - nothing much has changed.

A brand new Whole Foods that took many years to plan - recently closed down. 

Addicts and other thugs - went into Whole Foods by 8th and Market - filled their garbage bags - took the elevators down to the basement, and disappeared into oblivion.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has nothing to say - more Supervisors like Connie Chan, Ashsa Safahai, Shamnan Walton, and Hillary Ronnen - given the opportunity to speak - ramble - and have failed when it comes to Quality of Life standards.  

This is Turtle Island - where there were no homeless - there were no pandemics that we have now - more endemic - humans today are acting without any empathy - one-third of our population - do not abide by the Constitution - others think they own the land - when they stole over two billion acres from the indigenous people on Turtle Island.

A couple of the Supreme Judges - are corrupt - they break the law and make excuses. Imagine taking vacations costing ten thousand dollars for years - some filthy rich paying for it - and trying to tell us - everything is fine. Taxpayers need to report such expenses - and there is more.

The United Nations, once clean - is now filthy and full of addicts.

These tents, you see behind the fence - were rented for $80,000 a year. After we brought this to the notice of SF authorities - the tents were cleared - we want to know where all the money collected - went to. Who pocketed the money. All these tents were close to the shadow of SF City Hall.

Indigenous children come first - we know this to be true.

Who will speak for the salmon? This year we counted a measly eighty salmon - the lowest count ever. Why are we not releasing water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir early, even when we have had so much rain this year? 

Addicts galore at the United Nations Plaza.

The Tuolumne River - which contributes to the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir - deprives the salmon of needed water to survive - who will speak for the salmon?
