Hmmn, I wonder if this is the same jerk I had to deal with a couple years ago. My wife's mom owns a house in SF. This jerk and his boyfriend moved in next door, and started organizing a few other residents into creating a community garden and a newsletter. Unfortunately, he ran roughshod over longtime residents, ignoring their privacy. There's a strip of land, an alleyway that runs behind mom's backyard. Traditionally used for fire emergency access, and residents to access backyards. This jerk fenced it off with a gate and started planting trees and a pathway. Then he had the city cite my mom-in-law for overgrowth in her yard (mostly because it didn't fit in with his plans).

We fought the violation notice and got it revoked. Mostly because the supposed permits for planting trees behind mom's house had been forged in her signature by this jerk. Yep, he wanted his way and forged her name (in a way she never signs anything) on permits. I got in a big argument with the guy, who was a yuppie gay interloper new to the community. Mom-in-law and neighbor next to her been there since the early 1950s while these wine-sipping yuppies just arrived recently from out of state. After I threatened him and his business along with a couple other friend neighbors on our side, he and his boyfriend moved last year. Might be the same guy, all I know was his name was Steve. Might be a different guy, but the intentions are the same. Troublemaker to long-time residents.
