And that's an interesting observation about how the Castro is mostly populated by the Olds these days. Not so much in my Civic Center neighborhood or your Mission District area.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-14543841355884562942015-10-06T13:44:42.076-07:002015-10-06T13:44:42.076-07:00Interesting.

I was too sick to go near the Castro Street Fair -- but glad it has downsized.<br /><br />Yesterday I photographed a core Castro precinct for <a href="http://596-precincts.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">596 Precincts</a> and was struck by hold OLD the street population seemed.

Also, his opponent Vicki Hennessy has already cost the city's taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in lawsuits while she was mismanaging the Office of Emergency Services, and I've certainly not heard a word of remorse about that from anyone. The most disturbing quote I've seen was from former Sheriff Mike Hennessey who tried to fire a couple of dozen "bad apple" employees during his multi-decade tenure, including the thugs who were recently discovered to have set up inmate fights at the jail. Not one of those firings was upheld since the public safety unions in this city behave like a protection racket.

He never takes responsibility for his blunders, and shows no sign of remorse for the many problems under his watch.<br /><br />I hate Ed Lee and the developer/tech bosses who run things, but that doesn't mean Ross is a saint.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639710572191340548noreply@blogger.com
