DESCRIPTION:Contact website: http://www.sftu.org  This is the San Francisco Tenants 
 Union website.  Every San Francisco tenant should should the tenants union 
 and should check this website often.  Your membership entitles you to an 
 excellent tenant handbook, counseling, and an opportunity to unite with the 
 rest of the 2/3 of San Francisco residents who are tenants to defend and 
 strengthen our dear, precious rent control, which we won in 1979.    We are 
 having this Tenant Congress to finalize a November 2004 ballot measure to 
 have an elected rent board which we feel will be more favorable to tenants, 
 unlike the current rent board with its mayoral and supervisor appointees, 
 which is usually pro-landlord.    Also on the ballot this November will be 
 a measure to save the 300+ rent controlled apartments at Trinity Plaza from 
 demolition by a greedy landlord, which will be put there by our signatures. 
  We need signature gatherers for this effort.  Pro-landlord mayor Gavin 
 Newsom vetoed the legislation to save these apartments from demolition, and 
 his pro-landlord lackeys on the Board of Supervisors, Bevan Dufty, Tony 
 Hall, Fiona Ma and Michela Alioto-Pier, opposed overriding Newsom's veto.   
  The primary issue in San Francisco as far as local politics and the 
 mayor's and supervisors' positions are concerned is rent control.  Because 
 we have a well-organized tenant community, we continue to have rent 
 control.  That organization is only possible if all tenants participate.  
 We are 50% of the voters in a high voter turnout election, which the 
 November presidential election always is. The other 10% of the pro-tenant 
 vote are property owners who favor tenant positions.\n
