Jesus, it feels like we're voting each month. Voting on mundane city policies that should be handled by our elected officials. Needless to say, there's a bunch of junk on the June San Francisco Ballot and for once, I feel like not voting.
It's not that I don't care about redevelopment in Bayview Hunters Point, or Public Utilities Commission (PUC) appointments, or Diversity on City Commissions. It's just that I'm tired San Francisco. I'm tired of all the bickering and political posturing. I'm tired of personal vendettas again the mayor, against the board of supervisors, against businesses, homeowners, renters, homeless people, neighborhood coalitions...this list can go on.
Are we as San Francisco residents so ignorant that we can't/won't get along for the greater good of our city? This June Ballot proves to me that our elected officials are ego-maniacs incapable of finding consensus among their peers. I'm convinced that San Francisco officials are more concerned with advancing their own pet projects and ideologies than they are with improving the communities we live in.
You want proof? Just walk down Hyde Street and ask yourself, "Is this what the city thinks we deserve as tax paying citizens?"
We deserve better and need qualified leaders to support us and our families.
