Homeless Services
May 21st, 2007 9:06 am

Reduce the number of homeless in San Francisco and therefor the burden on city services by providing these service only to those formerly residents here.  San Francisco is the dumping ground for other communities which know we have no restrictions.  Let's take care of our own, and ask others to do the same for theirs.

Provide some kind of tax relief for people who adopt a homeless person
May 21st, 2007 8:46 am

Adoption might mean provide housing in an in-law unit, or feeding them with leftovers, or training them to do chores (gardening, cleaning, etc), but not providing them with money because the homeless may use it for drugs, alcohol, etc. Otto Thav Read This Posty »

Rent Control and Homeless Staff
May 10th, 2007 2:41 pm

Investigate, Identify then penalize all the many SF "principal" tenants who, in turn, rent at a substantial profit to second tenants. The city is filled with such cases wherein "principal tenant" benefited rent control for a number of years, then in turn, say that they are "sharing" their apt. at a current market rent rate to second tenant. Often time, it is not really sharing but ending up with only a room w/small closet and sharing kitchen and bathroom - there is hardly or no sharing of the living room; yet, principal rents to second tenant often time, double rent or Read This Posty »

Expand Community Courts
May 10th, 2007 9:11 am

I would like to suggest that you consider expanding the Southern boundary of the proposed new Community Court System beyond Harrison Street and to encompass all streets between Harrison and AT&T Park. I will list for you the reasons why this new court system should encompass AT&T Park and the surrounding East SoMa neighborhood. 1. We are faced with several law breaking corner liquor stores selling to already inebriated patrons. We have repeatedly relayed our displeasure to them and the consequences to the neighborhood they make their living in, but our complaints fall on deaf ears. 2. The above mentioned inebriates use our Read This Posty »

Graffiti and Trash
April 18th, 2007 9:47 am

Dear Mr. Mayor: While I support all the wonderful development deals, the biotech, the SOMA developments, etc. I can't help but feel the quality of life is deteriorating in many of our neighborhoods due to out of control graffiti and dumping of trash on the streets and sidewalks. I for one am tired of living in filth whenever I'm outside my home in the Mission. I'm old enough to remember as time when peer pressure would work. A gentle reminder to someone throwing away a drink cup in a doorway was enough to get that person to stop, think, and dispose of Read This Posty »
