SF Mayors Miss New York City’s Main Lesson Wednesday, August 29, 2007 : After traveling to New York City earlier this year, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom began promoting a local version of the “Community Court” he had observed in Brooklyn.

In the 1980’s, San Francisco underwent a high-rise development boom known as “Manhattanization.” In the 1990’s, Mayor Frank Jordan sought to replicate Rudy Giuliani’s criminalization of homelessness through his “Matrix” pro...

Lennar BVHP LLC and the spiraling homes sales bites Lennar Corporation in the butt Lennar Corporation has sent a message about distrust in the Real Estate business here in San Francisco and Nation wide. This message combined with the spiraling homes sales have forced many to think hard when it comes to buying any real estate. It is for this reason - I subjectively favor smaller developers - that give quality attention to customers and a follow up that is homely and condusive to long lasting relationships. With Lennar Corporation all you hear is horror stories....

Seniors Speak Out on Patient Dumping Monday, August 27, 2007 : If you saw the movie “Sicko,” you know what patient dumping is all about. When a hospital discharges a homeless patient, they will drop them off at a local shelter – or on Skid Row in Los Angeles – without any guarantee that the patient will get the necessary help to make it through the night. Many patients, though deemed fit to leave the hospital, suffer from dementia – so the streets are the last place they should be....
