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.

San Francisco's Separate Evolution

San Francisco's enduring appeal and source of wealth comes from its limited geographical space, westerly winds from the nearby ocean and a moderate temperture. S.F.'s evolution is a metaphor for the unique experience of the Galapagos Islands. Both were removed from the norms of mainstream evolution and thus fostered a range of oddities. The Islands produced singular flora and fauna. The City produced a singular "culture".

There has been a rash of initiatives proposed by the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors. One proposal would bar the eating of trans fat. But if one wants to salivate on a fat transgender during the Gay Pride Parade, that's O.K. Another proposal is "no smoking in public." But if its mirajuana or you need a fresh needle for your heroin addiction the City will tell where to go. The latest proposal is to dispatch "garbage police" to make sure people know the difference between garbage and recycables. This is the city that promotes sodomy implying its preferance for garbage over new.

An older evolutionary step that has turned into a public misstep was the "santuary city" policy. Recently a City valued sanctuary citizen murdered a father and his 2 children over a traffic right of way dispute. It turns out the "sanctuary citizen" was an illegal immigrant felon who was released on a prior suspected felony without being reported to the Federal immigration authorities.

As long as the geographical facts remain in place and the flow of money that follows continues we can all look forward to more of the same. Except the fact that when someone or some City doesn't differentiate from hygienic and non-hygienic sexual practices a new evolutionary player enters the scene. One that kills-AIDS.
