San Francisco Progressives Lose Way

Nobody could make this story up.It happened in the progressive enclave of Presidio Terrace. It's about five blocks from where I live.I can see it from my roof where I have an anchored tripod mounted for photos or any other chore that requires a steady support. Some of the former residents of the Terrace were Senator Dianne Feinstein and her husband Dick Blum who has made tens of millions for his family and other investors by selling off U.S. government property.He acted as broker in some cases and as principal in others. That's self dealing also known as stealing. Also Former Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi lived there. Her husband Paul Pelosi also sells property that belongs to the U.S. government but at prices that only his investors can afford. Pelosi is the big titted progressive that all want to suckle for freebies. She obliges. She gives one and all what they want because it costs her nothing. Tax payers pick up the tab. She neglects thank you but instead berates all for more. Long story short. A couple of Chinese immigrants, Tina Lam and Michael Cheng, happened upon property for sale due to non payment of back taxes advertised by San Francisco City An County Tax Department .The bill was $14.00 a year. But The Presidio Terrace Association failed to pay for thirty years. The couple paid $90,000. 00 to clear arrears and penalties to secure title to the street and common areas including side walks in Presidio Terrace.That's it. End of story. Progressives in the enclave awakened from their routine of reaching out to illegals or learning how to care and protect members of the LGBTQ community and other designer cause celebre are faced with the prospect of not having control of their streets. How will they explain to visiting politicians who come for money why they can't park on the street unless the pols or other big wigs pay a parking fee to the Chinese couple? Suppose the Chinese couple decide to have a live market street sale featuring live chickens, eels in a tank or mystery meat with the same DNA as a human etc. Progressive have come so far that they have run out of common sense and lost the common touch in pursuit of keeping an open mind.They have lost their way which includes sometimes their streets.
