WASTING AWAY AGAIN IN AN OBAMAVILLE:

 

The Streets of San Francisco: ‘Super Bowl City’ Meets Tent City. A city in the grip of a housing crisis just spent $5 million on the Super Bowl. Yes, people are angry.

 

Other than a temporary respite on election night when a candidate with a (D) after his name wins, what other emotion is the left capable of?

 

By the way, spot the buried lede! Far left Nation magazine suddenly discovers far left San Francisco is a basket case. Or as even the San Francisco Chronicle was forced to admit last year, “People come here thinking of this as the center of innovation and entrepreneurship, and they see a street scene that looks like something out of a Third World country.”

 

These things happen when your last Republican mayor left office over half a century ago.

I assume the NFL will reconsider SF as the SB destination in the future. SB City or whatever it's called has been taking place on the Embarcadero in front of the Ferry Building. Those of you familiar with the area know that this is an area populated by homeless. They have moved further into the city under bridges there. Now homeless advocates are wanting to build a tent city right next to where the festivities are taking place. Many people who have visited SF complain about the homeless problem, the filth, the stench etc etc. and vow not to return. Now when they have hundreds of thousands visiting they get to see this crap in all it's glory.

 

Well then my wife, who works in the Transamerica Pyramid gets this email from the building:

 

 

Dear Pyramid Center Tenants,

 

There are several planned protests anticipated to occur over the next few days centered around Super Bowl City. The Building Office and Pyramid Security provide tenants with as much information as possible to plan around these events. However, events may change at a fast pace and therefore we encourage tenants to check public transportation or news websites for more up to date information https://www.sfmta.com/sb50

 

Below is information from the California Resiliency Alliance regarding planned protests.

 

Although there is no BART shutdown listed below, it is highly possible that one will occur during the next few days. Either that or a major traffic disruption. Possibly these would be held in conjunction, although more likely as independent protests or events. If it is a traffic tie up, it will probably happen in the evening. The BART could be either morning or afternoon.

 

Protestors have not made their plans clear in order to keep authorities from preventing it.

 

Activists may chain themselves to BART trains in many locations at rotating times in order to get maximum shutdown. That is, once one group gets cleared and just about the time BART gets ready to start up again another group pops up somewhere else and chains themselves.

 

The best recommendation is for people to build maximum flexibility and preparation into their schedule in advance in order to mitigate or reduce inconvenience should either event occur.

 

Examples: If possible, remove hard deadlines for appointments from schedule, arrange for coverage at locations where you might not be able to show up, and prepare to stay where you are instead of attempting to push through a major commuter tie up.

 

Transamerica Pyramid Security will continue to search sources and attempt to gain additional information, but it is almost certain that we will be reacting, not preventing, an adverse event.

 

Yay San Francisco!! Way to look good on the world stage.

 

FORWARD = PROGRESS!!

having been there last month, I can say, yes, that city stinks, literally.

Homeless people pay rent?

I wonder what would happen if they didn't "help" the homeless. Would they just go elsewhere or what? Seems like SF has set a perpetual free lunch table and can't figure out why the problem doesn't go away.
