1.  If you can't get the Supervisors to approve a city-wide Deal with Google for free WiFi, how about proposing a pilot program to bring in to the Bayview NOW!  Give them a year or two to perform, and then go for a city-wide deal. 2.  No one would live in public housing given a chance.  They breed gangs and violence.  Do not re-build public housing.  Better to tear them down, build individual houses, and give them away to the occupants.  At least this would give them the opportunity to share in the American Dream. 3.  Please go after owners of houses Read This Posty »

Hello Mayor Newsom, I am single mother of a wonderful four year old. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for your family appreciation day.

Talk about your accomplishments Read This Posty »

Why not build more barges, have the city create (and lease) the infrastructure underneath, and citizens buy the living quarters - this would make the housing much more reasonable. Have it be 50% populated by teachers, police, firefighters, nurses and civil servants, 25% low income, 25% artsy SOMA types. Recycle human waste into community vegetable gardens ala Findhorn. Have solar power and wifi. Have community spaces for childcare and playground, larger gatherings than fit in a condo space, built in and around Read This Posty »
