San Francisco Housing the Jewel of San Francisco Suppression of Residents

San Francisco Housing the Jewel of San Francisco Suppression of Residents

How the Haves try to make sure that the Have Nots have nothing. Their goal is nothing from nothing leaves nothing. (That's where the Housing residents are left - with nothing. Or homeless.)

Let's look at SF Housing planning to declare bankruptcy instead of paying court settlements for families burned up in fires and sexual harassment. Already being on HUD'S TARC Troubled Agency Recovery Center, meaning that multiple millions of dollars to help residents didn't get to them because of gross mismanagement by San Francisco Housing. Many of those dollars could have helped improve the living conditions and provide programs leading to self-sufficiency.

It's a pattern of irresponsibility. Intentional incompetence by the crooked Executive Director of the agency including Ronnie Davis, and the current head of their Commission, Julie Lee - both Willie Brown appointees.

The intentional destruction of residential management, and tenant associations that could help residents to move forward. The boarding up of several hundred units; at one time up to six hundred empty units leaving many needy residents out in the cold or homeless. The Section 8 scandal the selling of vouchers depriving the truly needy. The lack of hiring of community residents to help maintain their own living areas. (sounds like Muni ignore the residents) The lack of training programs for residents. The sexual harassment of tenants. Properties maintained in substandard conditions. Many of these residents are living in known toxic impacted areas, environmentally comprised, causing ill-health to the children, the true innocents.

The ripping off of residents where many should have been getting Hetchy Hetchy Power instead getting the more expensive PG&E power taking a bigger bite out of their monthly budget and if they don't pay their PG&E they will be evicted. Didn't PG&E help pay for Brown's inauguration? Seems like they can use public money for energy efficiency to help Julie Lee's son Andrew when he ran for Supervisor (that comes straight out of Public Goods Charges on our PG&E bills).

Then there’s HOPE Vl. Look at Valencia Gardens it is now an empty lot without Hope, residents pushed out for points unknown. Just a step in the gentrification process in San Francisco. Add Muni, add Redevelopment. The New York Times writes “Black people are leaving San Francisco faster than any other city in the nation.”

Then there is the manipulation of voters who live in SF Public Housing. (See 49er Mall stadium etc.) This fits with the appointment of Julie Lee a real estate agent with unscrupulous morals. Maybe she wants to be first in line to redevelop the land where Housing sits. Lee is known for her fund-raising for San Francisco politicians including money-laundering donations to Shelley, Secretary of State (who deals with elections and non-profits). She screwed her own non-profit and sent some of the money back to Shelley that he appropriated to build her community center that never got built. The City gave her non-profit hundreds of thousands to help poor immigrant Sunset residents but they were hardly ever open. She has a true caring for the poor residents, a slumlord just recently evicting an elderly blind lady. (Another Housing Commissioner also evicted a long time elderly tenant just to be able to run for Supervisor. Oh by the way he lost.) These are the type of persons we have in charge of low income and poor residents who are the most vulnerable.

Shame on you Board of Supervisors for allowing this happen to your San Francisco Residents. Chris Daly attempted to correct this earlier. Maybe you want to join the Mayor and play Basketball with the Residents of Public Housing, while the SF Housing Agency declares Bankruptcy. And you wonder why there is violence and drugs?
