The idea to build thousands of homes on land prone to liquefaction in SF - blantant GREED

by Francisco Da Costa
Ross Mirkarimi opened his mouth and spoke about the Association of Bay Area Governments and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission - projecting, building thousands of homes and housing units in San Francisco. Where do these dumb IDIOTS get this idea from? Who is really doing an analysis of our present Economy? Where will these homes mostly be built? Where is the infrastructure to sustain thousands of people? How dumb are our so called Representatives - those on the SF Board of Supervisors, believing in such drab notions? Do not quite such entities if you do not know what you are talking about.

Sophie Maxwell the most inept Supervisors ever to step into City Hall is leaving office - they say the woman is being termed out. She should have been removed a long time ago - for being inept, corrupt and most of all for NOT having the ability to represent.

The District 10 elections have brought a candidate to the fore who keeps saying that she will represent and as much as anyone can use cliches, points to saying things "rosy" - and believe I like looking at a glass - half full rather then half empty - the reality facing District 10 are enormous.

The Wade Randlett fund raising makes interesting reading. When it suits some - birds of a feather flock together. I for one will never trust Gavin Newsom or have anything to do with him. It starts with tainted money, and then one thing leads to another.

In D10 we recently had a couple of high profile crimes - people died. Crimes are on the increase - and D10 is big, the largest of all the Districts.

You have Potrero Hill, Dog Patch, Bayview Hunters Point, Little Hollywood, Executive Park, Visitation Valley, Sunnydale Public Housing, Hunterview Public Housing, Oakdale Public Housing, parts of Portola from Bacon all the way to the famous Seven Eleven and from San Bruno at Bacon going towards Mission.

Few know the boundaries and less the many unique places. The demographics have changed drastically with Asians and Latinos gaining ground. Blacks leaving in droves.

Not even the D10 candidates were fully aware - that from Silver to Bacon on San Bruno - now comes under District 9 and that comes under Supervisor David Campos.

David Campos should answer - how best he represents District 9 at least that part of District 9 where we have a thriving business on San Bruno Avenue and thousands of home owners that pay taxes are in D9 - and get no respect.

Sophie Maxwell did a poor job of representing the Portola District that portion that comes under D10. You would see her at the Portola Fair all of which was held in D9 - and the fools who organized the Portola Fair - have no clue that the District Lines are changed - but leave that to the future fools to figure out.

The discussion here is about building thousands of homes - as many as 100,000 plus in San Francisco because the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments says so. Well, these two bodies better get their heads examined.

Most of the planned homes are in the Southeast Sector - hence, this article.

Large tracts of land at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard are not cleaned - some, may comprehend the words abated and mitigated - but most do not know.

The land is prone to liquefaction and flooding - while BCDC a body of some sane individuals comprehends this issue - ABAG and MTC keep spewing diatribe that some politicians are quick to quote - having no idea what so ever - that such talk is mundane but what is more pertinent - confusing and sends mixed signals.

The last frontier where most of the land is lies in the Southeast Sector. Most of the land needs a lot of work and just a very small area - needs minimal.

The area around Executive Park could be planned in such a manner to create a community of its own - complete with all the facilities and unique transportation grid that the Nation could marvel. In Canada they have some good examples - but, trying to persuade our SF Planning coming with some sound ideas - with permits taking years to get - while this economy erodes any good will to build sound mix-use housing.

Do not leave this to the drab local representatives and here I am referring to the politicians that have no idea of planning. Less of infrastructure and even less of Quality of Life issues.

At Hunters Point for example one Rogue Developer, has plowed millions to build inferior infrastructure. The Infrastructure is contaminated. Daily reports that I get - reveal to me and a few others that are on the list - sent by Treadwell and Rollo - the daily amount of Asbestos Structures that still hover around a wide area.

For months the infrastructure, built to cater to clean water and sewer have been left open to toxic dust, contaminated air, and rain and other toxic material entering the system. Eventually, the plan is to hook this system to some system - that the FOOLS at San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - keep mentioning - without have the slightest idea about what they are talking about.

Other fools are talking about building 10,500 homes in this freaking economy.

Well, anyone can talk about building homes in this economy that is sinking daily.

The Federal Reserve Bank keeps printing money to pay China daily in the billions - no one really knows how much.

I know for sure the Federal Reserve Bank that has nothing much to do with the United States Federal Government, is an entity to itself - does as it pleases and is fully responsible for our TRILLIONS of dollar plus - deficit. These guys that operate the Federal Reserve Bank are worse then the MAFIA.

Some can pooh, pooh this idea away - but, those that really know the situation at hand - do not think of building homes on land prone to liquefaction, more, prone to radiological contamination. Most importantly, as I have said for a long, long time - landfill where the remains of the Ohlone were spread by the United States Navy and I have made this known to the Project Manager Keith Forman from the U.S. Navy and the man in charge in San Diego, his boss - Douglas Gilkey.

Both of them will receive this article and so will the chain of command and others.

Of course Lennar figures in this equation. Lennar has no money to expand on any large project - we saw this at Mare Island. Lennar promised to build 10,000 homes there and after 10 years had nothing to show and declared BANKRUPTCY.

Lennar is a Rogue Developer and will always be a Rogue Developer.

Let me put it this way for Kofi Bonner and the other vultures out there to know exactly what I am saying. Lennar has the blood of our children and Elders on their hands - and we are watching, nothing much has changed - we are watching Lennar and all its operations.

Much, as we are watching Willie L. Brown Jr. a thug, Gavin Newsom who filled his campaign coffers using Lennar. Nancy Pelosi who is now the minority speaker of sorts, and the other scumbags that thought they had it good - deceived the many politicians but now have to deal with the real freaking - facts. The Democrats are a sinking because of their false pride and lack of transparency and accountability.

It is fun to see the hag Nancy Pelosi perform with her wing clipped and her tone of voice changed - she is now a reformed - Mother Theresa, only vile in the inside!

In this economy only an IDIOT, and that is a light term I am using - I really have other terms but refrain from using it - can think of building thousands of homes on land prone to liquefaction. No insurance company, worth their salt with back such projects, and what is more no home owner will accept the waiver that will have to be signed - to avoid billion of dollars of litigation and false protection.

In the Southeast Sector - who ever wants to comprehend these issues - must be fully aware of the facts. Do not play with fire. And my advice is simple - stop pussy footing around with those that you think have your better interests - but, belong to the corrupt MACHINE.

The SF County Democratic Committee - is corrupt and anyone this entity backs is dubious in nature. Nancy Pelosi, Willie L.Brown Jr a thug, all have dubious links to this MACHINE.

I have been around. My job is to safeguard the children and the elders - and there are those that talk the talk but do not walk the walk.

The many so called leaders in the Bayviiew are so full of it - they are there, first to see and fill their own pockets.

After that, only will they dare spend some time - looking after the better interest of the constituents that live in the impacted area. In this case the Southeast Sector. I know some of them and the rest - I do not want to know. That may not matter to them - but, it does matter to me. I stay away from the corrupt and those that cannot be trusted.

Again, Lennar is a Rogue Developer that must NOT be trusted.

I have monitored this dubious entity since 1998.

In the year 2010 - I must know some, if not more about this dubious entity.

When these vermin first came and were invited by Willie L. Brown Jr. a thug - Lennar registered their corporate name a Limited Liability Company in Sacramento, California.

Now, they are a Limited Liability Partnership and registered in Delaware. Delaware is where you can register any corrupt entity - it is the place where the MAFIA and other such entities operate in open. Gangs from Columbia and other gangs launder money in Delaware. All the dubious Credit Cards have their headquarters in Delaware. Weasels, love to make their abode in Delaware.

I have been studying the HOPE SF proposal. A plan to tear down public housing and build new housing. Thugs like the John Stewart Company, Mercy Housing, Bridge Development have all made written pacts with Gavin Newsom and contributed to his campaign.

Now, again Ross Mirkarimi who thinks he know it all - is now working behind the scene to ratify some language, linked to HOPE SF - but he has NO clue that no one in their right mind can - dictate terms to HUD. He has no clue about the corrupt SF Housing Authority and one Amos Brown, no clue about what is really happening to SF Public Housing. Has not read the two documents linked to gentrification of the Blacks in San Francisco - the Unfinished Agenda and the fake Out Migration document.

Ross Mirkarimi has done nothing to save the largest property that belongs to some constituents in the Western Addition - Marcus Garvey Housing Complex.

This project is not transparent and has less accountability. Ross better be careful meeting with some folks that have little knowledge and trying to make some changes with Public Housing, linked to HOPE SF.

Ross Mirkarimi, has been silent and has not support the Bayview community - fighting to keep out Lennar. Ross backed Lennar and anyone that does that - must be watched carefully. Those backing Ross from the Bayview and Visitation Valley - are put on notice.

Only three Supervisors backed the community against Lennar, a Rogue Developer - Supervisor John Avalos, Supervisor Chris Daly, and Supervisor Eric Mar. The rest are on notice. Never, ever forget that.

Again, this present Economy will last for ten years. President Barrack Hussein Obama wasted millions with the so called Stimulus Plan. He is being shafted today with the House and Senate - refusing to cooperate with him - on taxes.

Nancy Pelosi thought for a second she would be the Speaker of the House for a long time - now, she has be delegated to the toilet, so to speak. A lesson our local politicians that are NOT educated on issues must heed.

I know what I speak about - because I see these corrupt folks - wheeling and dealing - much like the prostitutes and pimps in the shady streets of San Francisco and the houses of pleasure that the politicians frequent - both men and women.

More, wheeling and dealing with dubious folks goes on behind close doors in most of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors' offices - that is why you will never, ever see me go to their office asking for any favor. Screw them I say - a bunch of cluster fucks.

I will be watching the three four new Supervisors - some I know, and ONE I do not want to know the one replacing Bevan Dufty. When the times comes - I will make my statement in public.

All the Supervisors better think twice about pulling a fast one - trying to build thousands of homes on land prone to liquefaction and flooding. Trying to bluff the constituents - while pandering to the Big Developers. The corrupt SF Trades Council and one Michael Theriolt - Tim Paulson and the SF Labor Union - both made a pact with Lennar. What is the status of this pact? Where are the community benefits? What role did the crooks have on this one? Vermin to the core.

While there has been a lot of vain talk about building thousands of homes. The Supervisors - all of them have no idea about sound planning. High density homes without Quality of Life issues is moot as far as they are concerned.

I will deal with this complex issues at some other time. Open Space, Wet lands, sound transportation routes, Childcare, Health Facilities, sound Community Policing - and so on.

The Association of Bay Governments and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission are just two bodies that put out a lot of disinformation - but, do not have the ability nor have for some years, proven to be anything but inept - if not a failure in large measure.
