Extreme centrist. The only thing worse than the Democratic party is the Republican party. If there are no typos in a given Tweet, I had someone proofread it.
Thanks to the absolute lack of backbone that most of our SF Supervisors have this historic structure shall remain!!
We certainly do not want this beautiful piece of art replaced by something as silly as people's homes.
Housing is a human right, unless you block Peskin's views.
See this list of closures. San Francisco progressives will give you a list of reasons that each and every one of these places closed but you will not hear them mention crime or drugs, or the lack of foot traffic that those two things cause.
I wish that people would stop slamming our political leadership here in San Francisco just because stores keep closing, and overdoses and murder rates are up.
Do you people not realize how dangerous gas powered leaf blowers are?

This is San Francisco, a security guard is shot in the head and no one cares. A career criminal is shot for threatening to kill a security guard and the protestors flood the streets, and our politicians join them.
Last night the Oakland City Council voted on a resolution to call for a ceasefire.
A city council member tried to insert language condemning Hamas.
This was the reaction…
Dean Preston is convinced that homelessness is caused by capitalism.
The city of Houston was able to drastically reduce homelessness.
Do they use a different economic system or is Dean just full of shit and homelessness is cause by poor leadership?
We need to take back San Francisco.
I could live with it having the reputation of being a dirty city.
I am not okay with it developing the reputation of being a violent one.
@BernieSanders
He's so progressive he wants all new homes built to be smaller than his.
Some people confuse this with hypocrisy, but hypocrisy is when you claim to be a socialist and then invest in companies where the CEO makes a thousand times the average employee. Oh shit he does that too.
A homeless woman is sprayed by a hose, and everyone chimes in.
A guy manufactures drugs and blows up a house that kills someone and only one Supervisor has the courage to mention it.
Dangerous manufacturing of drugs that blows up a house and causes death and mayhem in a neighborhood is as serious as dealing deadly fentanyl in an open air drug market. Both crimes should be prosecuted in San Francisco.

I realize it may be unpopular but I wish the police had removed the kid gloves that they are wearing before handling this situation.
Well done
@CHP_GoldenGate
, you were far more professional than I think I would have been in the same situation.
Have you ever wondered how San Francisco can spend $60,000 per homeless person per year and the situation not improve?
The answer is alcohol, cigars, motorcycle rentals, and politicians who are focused on Gaza.
San Francisco: We need to severely limit the reasons that police can use to pull people over.
Also San Francisco: Why did the number of tickets the police write go down. Have they just stopped doing their job?
Thank you for your leadership
@LondonBreed
on solving homelessness in San Francisco.
I missed the press conference, but I have to imagine it went something like this:
San Franciso: We all live on the stolen ancestral lands of the Ohlone.
Also San Francisco: The Jewish people, that have lived there since the times when Jesus walked the earth, are living on stolen land.

San Francisco is named the worst run city in the US!

Some people are confused by the fact that Dean Preston is Jewish, but supports Hamas. Why?
He is a Socialist, that invests in tech stocks.
He lives in a mansion, but wants homes limited to 2,000 sq ft.
He wants affordable housing, but no housing built.
Why not just pass a law having the government confiscate all housing in San Francisco? That would make it affordable nearly immediately. Then the Supervisors could dole out the best properties as political favors, like they do now for non-profit funding.
"53-year-old Preston grew up in Greenwich Village with the safety net of generational wealth before coming to SF..."
Preston is a Socialist and does not want houses built larger than 2,000 sq. ft. He has got his, now he wants to stop others.
Today's Lesson in San Francisco Politics:
Before you go and start manufacturing drugs in your home where your kids and other family live, consider this:
If the home blows up and someone is killed, you could end up spending a FULL WEEK in prison before you get out on bail.
SF prosecutors won 323 convictions or guilty pleas to another felony charge in 2023.
In 2021 Boudin had 3 Convictions.
No wonder the pro-drug progressives are pretty pissed about the Chesa recall.
Unpopular Take: Prop 47 is not and has never been our issue.
A misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in prison in California.
Our issue is that we have judges who do not believe in punishment for misdemeanors.
Last time we tried to give these people five hours of community service as a punishment and they did it again.
Now lets try a year in jail and we can see how many repeat offenders we get.
San Francisco: We have three people a day dying of overdoses, can we do something about the fact that we have the cheapest drugs in the country?
San Francisco Politicians: We are going to draft legislation to limit cars to 10 mph over the speed limit.
Come on
@sfpd
I want to defend you, I really do.
Videos like this make that very difficult.
@SFPDChief
can you explain if these officers were "just following policy?"
Dean Preston:
Kids let me explain how this works.
You see housing is a human right and we have a duty to prevent anyone from building it.
Kids:
We are not sure we understand.

Do you think the reason that San Francisco politicians are against shutting down these open air drug markets is it might expose that we no longer need endless streams of money flowing to non-profits like Urban Alchemy?
Watch: Newly-appointed DA
@BrookeJenkinsSF
speaks in the Tenderloin at her first press conference since her swearing-in last week.
"I have committed...to making sure that we end these open-air drug markets, that we clear these streets."
Story coming soon.
Do you think one of our SF Supervisors can introduce a resolution calling for an end to illegal drug dealing and overdoses in the city?
I just think the useless resolutions we pass should be somehow related to San Francisco.
Atlanta cut homelessness by 40% through housing
Houston cut homelessness by 63% through housing
Finland cut homelessness by 75% through housing
Tokyo cut homelessness by 80% through housing
If you do not want more housing in SF you are pro-homelessness.
Thank you,
@DeanPreston
for standing up for these kids!
Destruction of our city should NOT be a crime.
If it were most of the city's Supervisors would be in jail.

Peskin blocked my project because it might cause "shadows" on "Chinatown's only rec center."

Do you actually think anyone believes Peskin is pro-housing?
I have come to the realization that the supporters of

do not care about what he does, he can live in a mansion, invest in tech, build massive amounts of wealth, own properties in a trust.
The important thing is that he tries to stop others from doing these things.
Question: If San Francisco decides to ban gas stoves because they are too dangerous, will they then set up supervised sites where we can go to use them "safely?"

When you are a coward, and do not want to risk upsetting your base, rather than saying what you should, you instead say there were "very fine people on both sides," or something similar like this:
Some friends are coming into San Francisco and they said the hotels are pretty spendy.
I recommended the urban camping sites down by the Ferry building.
Do they have to book those or are they first come first serve?
A lot of San Francisco Progressives have said I am the dumbest person in San Francisco.
I have to admit every time I am at drug store and paying for toothpaste and deodorant, I wonder if they are right.

Also San Francisco: This woman needs to prove she was actually born with that name.
You can't even make this stuff up.

Cheap Drugs. No Consequences. Free Money.
San Franciso: If someone pepper sprays you and you beat them with a metal pipe that is a case of self-defense.
Also San Francisco: If someone threatens to stab you and you did not bother to verify that they actually had a knife, that is not a case of self-defense.

@HillaryRonen
, this is what leadership looks like.
The best way we can attack racism is to treat a group of people differently because of their race.
I am very upset about San Francisco arresting people that are simply using guns.
The city needs to step up and build a facility where people can safely use their guns, that is the way to get guns off the streets.
Arresting gun users is just us going back to our racist ways.
THANK GOD. Does this mean the conflict will finally come to an end?
The

@michelletandler
If you are wealthy enough to live in a low crime area, ideas like defunding the police and radically addressing racial justice seem like great ideas.
If you have to live where the rest of us do you realize that these ideas would only work in some sort of utopia.
Excellent reminder that with different leadership things are not that bad.
Federal lands that our local politicians can't control seem to run okay.
This is where Myrna Melgar goes to escape her own leadership.
Supervisor
@mattdorsey

@DeanPreston
disagree, just another reason we need to vote them out.
I heard a rumor that in San Francisco we are still fining businesses that get tagged and do not clean it up quickly enough. Can anyone confirm or deny? If that is still the case, it is nuts. Do we also fine people that get stabbed but do not clean the blood off the street?
In San Francisco what do we do if we don't like the election results?
We fire the Director of Elections.
Still think the far left and far right are that different?
It cracks me up when these thin-skinned people create a parody accounts, but get really pissed off if your throw parody back at them. What is wrong

Now ask yourself, who is antisemitic? Is it me who criticizes Dean Preston's policies but sides firmly with Israel. Or the DSA, that is siding with the aggressor in this case, Palestine.

End the violence. End the Occupation. Free Palestine. 1/5
Everyone remember when a threat of physical violence from a sitting city Supervisor against a city employee was largely ignored?
People said he was not serious about the threat, but we are now learning that does not matter.
I naively used to think that Socialism was about spreading out wealth equitably and investing responsibly in companies that do that.
Thanks to

I realized it is not about that. Socialism is about telling others what they should so, not doing that yourself.
