6000 more to go: Assessing San Francisco’s Homeless Count When the number of homeless General Assistance recipients fell from 2497 in May 2004 to 697 in January 2005, nobody should be surprised that the number of homeless persons in San Francisco has apparently declined by 28% since 2002.

SF SOS Launches Lies at Leno SF SOS is at it again. After its hate-filled mailings against Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval caused Senator Dianne Feinstein and GAP founder Don Fisher to leave the group, SF SOS has now set its sites on Assemblymember Mark Leno. SF SOS leader Wade Randlett sent a mass e-mail yesterday attacking Leno for allegedly sponsoring a bill that “would create a five-year waiting period for anyone who buys a home and wants to live in it instead of renting it out.” Is there no limit to the group’s lies?...

The MUNI Disaster: Inequity, How We Got Here, and How to Get Out Michael Burns began a full-court press yesterday to get his proposed MUNI budget passed, meeting with several members of the Board of Supervisors to request their support. MUNI representative Stuart Sunshine told the Chronicle they’re “looking at a balanced way to share the solution” to their current budget crisis. Yet Burns’ proposal balances the budget squarely on the backs of the working class, raising the yearly cost of a Fast Pass $109 and only upping the yearly cost of a residential par...

Nine months later Ronald Reagan was elected President, ushering in over two decades of federal backtracking from greater social and economic fairness. But today, Tenderloin residents, residential hotel tenants citywide, and low-income and working-class tenants across San Francisco enjoy far greater legal protections and better conditions than in 1980, countering the nationwide trend. This is the ...
