Starting a business in SF is extremely difficult. Proposed process streamlining is not going far enough. Opening a restaurant in the Mission is as tough as opening a strip club & requires a @sfplanning hearing which “community stakeholders” often abuse to harass newcomers.🧵 /1

Why does Jon Jacobo remain on the board of Calle24 since the allegations in 2021? Why has he not been exposed and thrown out of politics by this non-profit? Because his best friend and co-founder of Calle24, John Mendoza is an aggressive harasser himself. 🧵 /1

I already have an answer for you @Ahsha_Safai . Today I spoke with Assistant Chief @SFPDACLazar and know we have 35 officers short per station minimum. State and city laws are making it impossible to have resources. What’s your solution as a mayoral candidate?

Over the last several years, I’ve repeatedly addressed this growing issue. We’ve seen retail theft incidents escalate in violence and in the worst case scenario, people have lost their lives.

I was telling someone that the brightest days of San Francisco are yet to come when we get rid of corrupt politicians, non-profits and other organizations! She said “Everybody’s corrupt here! Why not be on the side of corruption you agree with?” NEVER!

Can someone correct me if I’m wrong about “Monster in the Mission”? Wasn’t the original developer gonna build 450 market rate units and 250 affordable units? And now instead, in the hands of city/non-profit developer, they are gonna make 200 affordable units now instead? Right?

@Ahsha_Safai @LondonBreed Sorry how many days a week the market operates? “Huge success” is when you have that prime location plaza in use 24/7. And not by the homeless or drug addicts! 42 years and Plaza looks like a war zone!

Yup! Exactly how it is. And Calle24 wanted to expand their territory to 16th street but due to American Indian Cultural District being on 16th street there was big conflicts amongst them and they dropped the expansion FOR NOW.

If you try to open a business in this zone while being deemed "not Latino enough", Calle 24 with harass, threaten, and protest until you agree to pay "community benefits". Whoever we elect in 2024 must promise to end this city-sanctioned racism.

Can anyone who’s not insane, explain to me what happens when these individuals are approached and asked to move to a shelter? Also what if they are not going? What if they are not well? What’s the game plan? I’m all for this but can’t understand the steps. @LondonBreed

When people reject offers of shelter, we should be able to enforce city laws. Last week, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the City agreed in court with this point. This was a huge step.

As you can see below, we have steak being sold on the hot sidewalk. We have trash everywhere and nothing about this is sanitary or "proper". Couldn't have we just had a courage to deal with public health and safety instead of a legislation that kills our food vendors? 🧵/4

Hillary Ronen and the @sfbos shielded themselves with a bill that says: "adopt additional requirements regulating the time, place, and manner of sidewalk vending, as specified, if the requirements are directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns. YOU FAILED!

@mnolangray I appreciate a lot of the planning codes when it comes to commercial planning (what I am familiar with) But local non-profits and unaccountable coalitions influence supervisor elections and therefore impact legislations, amendments. That’s what needs to be revisited.

We carve out special exemptions in specific districts, and while that may have noble intentions, the net result is a Planning Code that is far too complex and difficult to navigate. My friend @nazkhorram has spoken eloquently about this.

The state's legistlation is against criminalizing street vendors. Which I am all for. But it is clearly mentioning that there is ability and authority to maintain public "health", "safety" and "welfare" as the sole reason to enforce "proper" sidewalk vending. 🧵/3
