San Francisco Housing Rights Committee Opposes Federal HUD Security Cuts
Press conference on the steps of City Hall followed by Budget Committee hearing.
On March 8th, the SF Housing Rights Committee with employee Sara Shortt and several other community based groups, including members of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, held a press conference on the steps of City Hall to oppose the latest HUD cuts to the City’s Public Housing Security. These cuts have been made to senior and disabled buildings only, the most vulnerable of Public Housing residents. Supervisor Chris Daly also called on the Budget Committee to review the SF Housing Authority’s finances.

I'm 66 myself, and recently went to look at a building for seniors in a relatively peaceful neighborhood in Oakland.
The first thing I noticed when I arrived was a sign above the door saying that all visitors must show a photo ID. In other words, any friends or comrades of mine without proper papers wouldn't be able to visit me if I moved there!
The second thing was a booth/room near the entrance with an Oakland Police Department emblem on it! No thanks!
What's needed is tenant-controlled security without cops, and without requirements that discriminate against undocumented visitors.
