Crooks gather at City Hall to give away Candlestick State Park to Lennar a Rogue Developer

by Francisco Da Costa
The Sierra Club and Arc Ecology were present with Michael Cohen and others trying to figure out how best to give Candlestick State Park to Lennar to build high rise building and swap the present Candlestick State Park land for toxic land most of it radiological in nature at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. Leading this initiative California Senator Mark Leno, Sophie Maxwell, Aurelious Walker, Mayor Gavin Newsom and of course the DEVIL itself - Lennar, a Rogue Developer.
It is a shame when a DAY has arrived when there is NO leadership what so ever in the Bayview Hunters Point to fight Lennar and its devious supporters who will sell out the Bayview Community and San Franciscans on a War Footing.

Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr. and Mayor Gavin Newsom have with intent destroyed the Bayview Hunters Point by encouraging sell outs mostly Blacks to divide the community for some few stale bread crumbs.

Senator Mark Leno who has NOT represented the Bayview Hunters Point community has initiated Senate Bill 792 to swap 40 acres of the State Candlestick Park land for some toxic land, most of it radiological in nature situated at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard.

Not a single meaningful meeting has been held in the community. No one in the community knows about this SB 792. Thousands of folks that gathered at the 49ers game yesterday did not know anything about the sale of the Candlestick State Park.

There are laws that govern Public Trust Land and these have NOT been adhered to.

There is the Burton Act and no one seems to follow it.

There is the Brown Act and no seems to care about it. Meetings are held with no 72 hours notice - where mostly white, fat, corrupt, men act as liaisons on behalf of the Bayview Hunters Point community. No one knows who elected or anointed them to act on behalf of the community.

No one knows why the community tolerates them. They do not know anything much about people of color except to make money off them. Mostly encouraged by the other sell outs mostly Black and some that have been doing it for years - bragging they are community leaders.

Lennar has over 900 acres of land at Hunters Point that Mayor Gavin Newsom wants to give them. Also Senator Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and the very corrupt Sophie Maxwell, Aurelious Walker, Gary Banks, the Tabernacle Group mostly consisting of corrupt Black pastors, Willie B. Kennedy, Doris Vincent, Linda Richardson, Lola Whittle, Angelo King, Veronica Hunnicutt, and a host of other ignorant, arrogant mostly Blacks that have been on the take.

The above have been on Lennar payroll and even now though the well is drying they are still being treated as if they are on a modern day plantation. They are sell out the community. Now, these vermin are getting ready to sell out the State Candlestick Park.

Most of the above favored Proposition G, backed by Lennar that spent $5 million which was nothing but a Land Grab.

Now, everyone is fully realizing that what we said then is being fulfilled. Joining these thugs the San Francisco Labor Council that has received over $500,000 from Lennar to back them up and which they have. The most despicable Labor Council in the Nation. It is widely know that San Francisco Labor Council will do anything for money - it is NOT respected.

James Bryant who has taken money to push to Proposition G and is now been investigated. He also has an affiliation to the SIEU that branch that is now being split because of internal disputes. Nothing, seems to be working with these dubious groups. However, they are all bent to steal, rob, swap, grab - do anything to grab land.

Certain groups in the Bayview Hunters Point have just found out that Senator Mark Leno is up to mischief. The Queer Senator has never had the interest of San Franciscans except the Queer population that he has tried to win some rights but failed. Nothing Senator Mark Leno touches will succeed - he is doomed for failure.

If is thinks he can run for Mayor of San Francisco - this scare-crow Senator is for a surprise.

The rational for taking the Candlestick State Park is that according to Lennar they see the land as as asset to make money. Lennar wants to build homes at the Alice Griffith Public Housing after tearing down the run down units. This area is close to the State Candlestick Park. Then proceed on some land near by now used for parking and bought by the SF Redevelopment Agency. This land is by the True Hope Church that belongs to Aurelous Walker the Poverty Pimp Pastor that has been on the take and pushing the Lennar agenda. Then, Lennar wants the JACK POT the Candlestick State Park to build high rise buildings and sell the units at Market Value.

Lennar does not give a hoot that it is State Park Land. This is the first case where State Park Land is being sold to a rogue developer Lennar - well know for its crooked ways all over the Nation.

Lennar will FAIL. It is NOT to late to drive these vermin and those that support them out of Bayview Hunters Point. Mayor Gavin Newsom has failed with all his deliberations in the Bayview Hunters Point. Mayor Gavin Newsom has messed things at the Bayview Opera House. Thousands of dollars are wasted and when some one asks for Accountability and Transparency they are fired.

At the Southeast Community Facility situated at 1800 Oakdale plans are afoot this Monday to have a Press Conference. The Bill Gates Foundation has given the facility some $2.5 million dollars. The result this facility that has was built to serve the community in now being taken over by City College.

There was once a General Education Diploma (GED) program that that was done away with. For years there was a Computer Training Program and this program has now been stopped. A whole floor has been given to some crooks aided by the Dean Veronica Hunnicutt who does not live in the community. She is the Dean of the Southeast Facility Community College, Chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee to the Shipyard, and on the take. A crony of Mayor Gavin Newsom who has with intent divided the community using Dwayne Jones - the Director of Communities for Opportunity (COO) who does not live in the community.

Toye Moses who is the Director of the Facility and paid by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission is a useless piece of crap. He has no clue about the community and has been detrimental to the youth, the community at large and should be fired. As the Director he should have called for a community meeting and discussed the matter. The man wants his job and has not desire to serve the community. Like Linda Richardson he hails from Nigeria.

I have brought this mess going on at the Southeast Facility at 1800 Oakdale in the Bayview Hunters Point to the attention of the SF Public Utilities Commission and Tommy Maola Toye Moses' boss. Ed Harrington knows about the nonsense going on at the 1800 Oakdale facility that was built as a mitigation factor to serve the community but is now being taken over by the corrupt City College that already has a facility at Evans - close by in the Bayview area. The community has been shafted.

The SF Public Utilities Commission is busy trying to sell bond measures to waste on the Waste Water Projects having not fulfilled its mission on the Clean Water Projects. The Calavares Project has been delayed for 48 months and San Franciscans could NOT care less.

As you will notice on all fronts there is an ATTACK on the community. The Bayview Opera House is is a mess. Now, the Southeast Facility and no one knows what is happening. People do not know that the Facility is meant for the community and now caters to outside entities like City College and entities funded by the Bill Gates Foundation that has not helped us before.

After all these years there should have been a fund to help local youth go to college. Local youth are not given opportunities and classes like the General Education Diploma (GED) and other computer classes and so on are now shut down. There is no one to listen to the youth and soon these adverse impacts will spill over and Dean Veronica Hunnicutt will run to the Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom for help - but, it will be too late.

Even the only State Park that is Candlestick State Park is now being given by State initiated legislation to the Rogue Developer - Lennar. I am sure when it comes to State Legislation - Willie L. Brown Jr. the former crooked Mayor - has his finger in the pie. He did it with the current AT&T Park that was part of Public Trust Land and he can do it for a price - it is always about money and CREED.

The most shameful scene to watch is the lack of leadership in the Bayview Hunters Point. Leaders will brag that they have lived for ages in the neighborhood but have acted as sell outs all this time and their evil fruits are now coming to haunt them. They talk the talk but they are NOT respected at all. Not one leader who is educated on issues. Most of them on the take and in the past pandering to shallow leaders like Willie L. Brown Jr. a thug - the man that brought Lennar, the Rogue Developer to Sacramento and to San Francisco.

Other groups mostly Black the likes of Lola Whittle, Linda Richardson who wants to District 10 Supervisor, Aurelious Walker the Poverty Pimp Pastor (PPP) are pushing for a hidden agenda having not served the community as the community needs to be served. I have been watching them and have reported about them here and else where. Time to take action and drive these vermin out of the community.

Other newly appointed so called leaders will be absent when they are most needed - pussyfooting with an agenda that they have no answer for - nothing thinking for a moment that they have to answer to a higher order, more since they say they are committed to serving the community. The shepherd flees and the sheep are left to be eaten by the hungry wolves.

Thousands of constituents are NOT aware the Candlestick State Park is for sale. The many folks that tail gate and bring in over $950,000. They only other State Park that brings in sufficient money is the Hearst Castle. Candlestick State Park brings in money but the community is not fully cognizant of the facts. The problem is the money goes to the State that uses it for other State Parks at the expense of the State Candlestick Park - that some what complicates the issues at hand. So why kill the cow that until now has been productive?

For the 40 acres - Lennar is prepared to buy the land for $40 million.

Never mind Lennar declared bankruptcy at Mare Island.

Never mind Lennar wasted over $1 billion of CALPERS money - California pension money in Southern California - the LandSource project that went bust.

Never mind that all over the Nation - Lennar is being sued for building inferior homes. Only in San Francisco they are embraced by the dubious Mayor of San Francisco - Gavin Newsom.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO FIGHT THIS FIGHT AND SEND LENNAR PACKING ONCE AND FOR ALL TO FLORIDA. LET THEM FLEE THERE AND DROWN IN THE CESSPOOL ON THEIR OWN MAKING.

SHAME ON MAYOR GAVIN NEWSOM SELLING OUR STATE PARK AND USING SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR'S OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WORK FORCE TO ENCOURAGE DUBIOUS PLOYS AND MACHINATIONS TO ADVERSELY IMPACT INNOCENT SAN FRANCISCANS.

In the meantime our San Francisco Board of Supervisors are fast asleep. They will make excuses and speak in whispers while NOT serving the better interests of the constituents of San Francisco.
