Senator Diane Feinstein at her wits end and Lennar BVHP LLC ready to swallow, poision pill
The Bayview Jobs, Parks and Housing Initiative has spent over $525,000 most of the money on so called Consultants. Well, Diane Feinstein the aged Senator is at her wits end and so are the Pacific Heights Mafia. We have an initiative that demands fifty percent affordable housing. Not to mention Lennar BVHP LLC that shouldl be prepared to swallow the poison pill of their own making. The weasel Kofi Bonner has met his match and this time around he is mince meat. There is ONLY so much nonsense an...

Closing Our Eyes Won’t Make Racial and Ethnic Inequalities Disappear
(Photo: Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier)
Native Americans have been in the United States from the beginning, yet according to health and employment statistics, they, like other people of color, still have not achieved equality. For example, between 1998 and 2000 Native American infants in the United States were 1.7 times more likely to die than white infants in their first year of life (Tomashek et al.).
The Lakota, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in North Dakota, who supported the cu...

Deal Struck at 55 Laguna; Campaign to Save Rent Control Heats Up
Friday, January 18, 2008 : The end of rent control – which will happen if a June state proposition passes – could not come at a worse time. San Francisco rents exploded in 2007, and are now expected to rise even further. While developers are almost exclusively building condos, the City will only add 800 rental units in 2008 – at a time when we’re expected to see 10,000 new jobs (mostly in the tech industry.) That’s why a deal brokered by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi to develop the UC Extension ...
