A Call to Recall Supervisor Chris Daly?

First, here's the incident with Supervisors Daly and Dufty going at it.

Second, here's what the San Francisco Chronicle is saying about the incident. A not too subtle call for a recall?

This is silly.

Daly's an idiot, we all know this. As he "speaks truth to power" (yes, one of his own quotes), people shoot up, sleep, and shit on the sidewalks of his district. Our absent supervisor is too caught up with decisions at the 100 foot level to get down and dirty with the details of maintaining a livable SF neighborhood. (Unless that neighborhood is the Mission, then it's full on hands on work.)

We as residents of the TL get the royal shaft while progressives make life oh so wonderful for a handful of minority activists living in the city. I challenge: What about the minorities living in the city who are not attending the one hundredth meeting of the “so and so” neighborhood coalition? Are we to be marginalized and kept quiet?

I would hope that our elected officials remember that those who are living day to day on these streets really don’t care about codes of conduct, inflammatory remarks about each other, or grandstanding about being “for the people.” We want to see change, real social change, where we're offered an equitable slice of the San Francisco/Bay Area affluence.

A move for a recall, as what the SF Chronicle is suggesting, is a waste of time and energy. Leave that up to the politicians. A better use of resources, IMHO, would be to take the money that would be used for a petition drive and invest it into communitiy resources including new and safer parks for young families, street outreach workers to get people off the sidewalk and into residential treatment programs, and community engagement events where residents can go outside, meet their neighbors and work collaboratively to make the area safer.
