Candle Light Vigil at Effies House
Tenants at Effies House are being pushed around to the point of extremes. I shall be here for this one, and hope that those of you reading this will join me in support of the renters at this property. Effy Robinson resided here for over 30 years until pressured out of here by the present management. It is still known as Effies House, and has since turned into a Nightmare at Effies House.
Sincerely , Lynda Carson...

Willie Brown Hurls Zionist Smear in Dist 8
When the Red smear won’t work, the Democrats use the Zionist smear to attack a pro-tenant Democrat.

In a sign of how far this city has fallen, San Francisco voters voted for N and against O. Public power was defeated and Newsom got almost 80% of the Marina vote. While many on the left keep repeating that it was obvious N would pass and we shouldn't feel too bad, what does this say about San Francisco?...

Rent Control & District Elections Prevail in SF
The best news from San Francisco is that the foundation of the entire progressive community of San Francisco, namely rent control, has been successfully defended with the defeat of Prop R, the Rent Control Repeal measure, with 60% voting No. Prop R was by far the most important measure on the San Francisco ballot because if Prop R had passed, the workingclass and its progressive vote would have left San Francisco....
