Socialist Paradise

[the OlLine Rebel]

It struggles because of all the socialist garbage that goes on.

I don’t think it’s right to “donate” to a damned PUBLIC housing project when it’s already got the government taxes going to it - and the government stink about it. Why invest in a CEO that always fails?

“unleashing a tirade at San Francisco Housing Authority Director Gregg Fortner and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development after discovering that a playground at the housing complex had been vandalized.”

As usual - never blame the COMMON SCUM that TERRORIZE neighborhoods, but blame some other esoteric entity.

I'm picturing this as something like a mafia protection racket:

"Uhhh, ya know, dis neighborhood ... it's an eyesore, ya know? People should fix it up, capiche? Now, maybe we're gonna have to raise taxes, yaknowaddImsayin? Or, maybe you could give generously so that nuthin' bad happens to your tax rate, eh?"

Explaining the roots of his outrage on Tuesday, Newsom said that during the backpack giveaway, he learned that a plastic playground set that had been built by the city with money donated by the Dave Matthews Band had been burned - not once, but twice.

"I go to see something where we did try to make their lives better, and it's melted. It breaks my heart, and I'm angry - I'm angry at myself, I'm angry at HUD, I'm angry at Gregg, I'm angry at the city for not stepping up and every single person who lives in every district who's never been to the housing (developments)," Newsom said. "I'm angry at all of us."

Angry at pretty much everyone except the barbarians who burnt the playground.

The only people he is not angry at are the animals who vandalized the playground.

I think it would be better to close public housing. If big business wants to help, how about putting a family in a house in a middle or working class neighborhood ( just one) and help them raise their standard of living.

Wait a minute does RAT-run paradise SF collect no taxes? or do they just waste it and then have to ask for more “donations” to do things that the tax dollars were suposed to cover?

[Don Corleone]

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom says he is leading some of the city's wealthiest residents on tours of the city's decrepit public housing developments in the hope they will donate to help rebuild them.

They already are....its called HIGH TAXES being wasted./

[Beckwith]

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is a complete idiot and this tactic sounds like a Tony Soprano shakedown scheme.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Or they could redevelop and deport the current residents to Oakland and Richmond. That’s prime land for future luxury high-rise condo development. ;)

” I’m angry - I’m angry at myself, I’m angry at HUD, I’m angry at Gregg, I’m angry at the city ...’

He doesn’t seem to be angry at the people who, unlike even chimpanzees which won’t foul their own nest, are actually doing the destroying, though. How cowardly is that?

It would be more productive to take the poor on a tour of the rich people's houses so that they can see the benefits of having a job and staying married.
