Agreed, President Breed, but I also understand why people are angry and scared about the interim mayor’s homeless sweeps. 7 days sleeping on a mat with all your stuff taken away isn’t offering homeless people meaningful services.
I know people are upset about the problems we face as a city, but destructive behavior is not helpful. When we pit one group of San Franciscans against another, or argue about who is a “real” San Franciscan, it becomes harder to find common ground. We are ALL San Franciscans.https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1002217744584994816 …

Part of why I support you is that as mayor, I trust you will bring a more compassionate approach and work on the root causes of homelessness! Not just push people from place to place.

No. There are real San Franciscans and then there are transplants and you used to know the difference. You’re young self would have answered that differently. Born and raised means something here. Always has. But working together has also.

SF is now for the wealthy & poor. And the poor don’t vote. Many “San Franciscans” have no say in politics in the city any more because they were forced out by gentrification. SF has become a gated community. It’s the new

Additional $$: The SF Apt Association, which fought against Leno’s Ellis Act reform bill and is now spending $ to oppose the right to counsel for tenants, gave $70K. Three local developers gave $25K. Dede Wilsey, who inherited her late husband’s real-estate operations, gave $100K

I agree, but I think we need to focus our energy on fighting for, not against, the most marginalized San Franciscans. “A riot is the language of the unheard.”

(To be clear, not that I’m characterizing this protest as a riot. It seemed pretty civilized to me!)
