49er City - the last frontier and blatant corruption

by Francisco Da Costa (frandacosta [at] att.net)
The Southeast Sector is the last frontier in San Francisco. Candlestick Park and the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard is being vied by corrupt developers like Lennar BVHP LLC and the cronies working for Mayor Gavin Newsom - Jesse Blout, Dwayne Jones, Michael Cohen, Marcia Rosen - none of them live in San Francisco. They for sure make their money in San Francisco. Thousands of units will be built on toxic sites mostly landfill and prone to liquefaction.

The Mayor's Office of Community Development and the man himself that invented Project Connect and projects so and so is working hard to sellout the community and destroy what little good in left of Open Space around Candlestick Park - welcome Dwayne Jones he lives in Oakland.

Then you have his back up Jesse Blout from the Mayor's Office of Economic Development and Workforce he does not live in San Francisco. You can never find him in the office.

Followed by the Director of San Francisco Redevelopment Agency Marcia Rosen and folks like Larry Florin that used to work for the City and County of San Francisco but now works for Lennar - none of them live in San Francisco.

Michael Cohen the Czar of Base Closure and machinations behind the Treasure Island fiasco and Tony Hall - he does not live in San Francisco.

Of course topping it all you have the Master of Spin and drab Media Lies - Mayor Gavin Newsom the man that reigns supreme in the world of make belief!

Then you have sellouts that will sell out the community for pennies. You get them every where but more in the Bayview Hunters Point. Leading the pack Sophie Maxwell. Other mostly Black that do not live in the community but proclaim that they do. Many of them uneducated on issues.

They talk the talk but cannot walk the walk:
