Mayor Gavin Newsom has NO clue how to deal with real people - period. Just watch the fake jerks that surround him and listen to this fool. The Health and Safety of San Francisco has NOT been addressed and the Executive Branch of this City and County of San Francisco is fully responsible for the madness that prevails on the streets and is tolerated by all.

The fight for a WPA project to rebuild New Orleans and Gulf public housing as well as re-opening Charity Hospital which is the largest public hospital in Louisiana will be the focus of this forum. Property speculators and developers are seeking to destroy all the public housing and use the charity hospital for high priced condominiums instead of re-opening it for the people of New Orleans. 65% of the people in New Orleans have no healthcare insurance and the hospital is a vital instituti...

When, both Mayor Gavin Newsom and Congressperson Nancy Pelosi respond vehemently to the Hunters Point Clean up - some nerve has been struck - and the fools are now exposed. I challenge any expert to address the Cumulative Pollution with the measly $82 million that will be spent by the U.S. Navy to do some minimal clean up.

The word "homeless" apparently didn't enter into the after-midnight proposal by Councilmember Madrigal at the last Council meeting to establish a Task Force on the issue....
