The City and Count of San Francisco is bent on building 10,500 homes in the middle of Chernobyl - using Lennar a Rogue Developer to carry on the City's devious ploys. There is over 2 million tons of very toxic soil and most of it radiological in nature at Hunters Point and the surrounding area. Now Mark Leno has a Bill - California Senate Bill 792 that can make it possible for Candlestick Park to be exchanged for Parcel E and E2 that is very toxic on the Shipyard. Mark Leno and others are com...

Senator Mark Leno was warned that his Senate Bill 792 will bring UNTOLD hardship to the entire San Francisco area and beyond. Senator Mark Leno has with intent defied LOGIC.

Again, SB 792 will fail in practice and adversely impact thousands of innocent folks in San Francisco....

Two months ago the Representatives in Sacramento could not imagine that Representatives would initiate a Bill to bring about "Civilian Oversight" in the BART system and justice to Oscar Grant. Caravan for Justice has made many inroads and most of them in the...

Some politicians are the scum of the Earth. I can name two one Congressperson Nancy Pelosi and another John Murtha. John Murtha was instrumental in closing too many Military Bases in California. Nancy Pelosi profited from the Presidio of San Francisco - creating the quasi-federal agency called the Presidio Trust. Nancy also profited by handing over Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and Parcel A to Lennar - a Rogue Developer. Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom are related - are remain partners in crime ...

Hunters View at Hunters Point is slated for demolition. Where once there were 287 housing units many with three and four bed rooms - they, will be replaced with smaller bed rooms - and many more, as many as 800 plus. It will be a gated community and those that once lived there - if they will ever get a chance to see the new place - will be shocked at what they see. The John Stewart company loves to prey on innocent people and has made its money doing so....
