Now I’m ready to fix San Francisco. A Japanese friend is arriving with her family and because I can’t handle guests right now I didn’t invite them to stay with me. But then I looked up the hotel they chose. I told them to cancel the hotel and stay with me.
The hotel they found is the BEI Wyndham that rates itself a 4 star. In fact it is at most a 1- star in a civic center neighborhood with a large and drug addled homeless population like most of downtown San Francisco. Dangerous. It also adds a $30 resort fee for each day and never mentions the fee. No resort features, not even night stands or a desk in the room. No good restaurants within five blocks.
My mind immediately went to Sodom and Gomorrah which God destroyed because the citizens mistreated visitors. San Francisco is Sodom and Gomorrah for sure.
So how do we fix San Francisco?
- We find a leader of the Asian Community and have them select a new mayor and a group of supervisors. The Asian Community has already organized a special election to replace a communist district attorney and an idiot school board. They won easily.
- We vote on a ballot initiative to put 5 city-wide supervisors on the 9 member Board of Supervisors. The current board is elected by district and has been since 1978. We have a bunch of totally incompetent people that never have the City as a whole as a concern.
All of this will take about five years. Once the quiescent city leaders see that this is a path to decency they will support it.
The negative is that the City will have a well-run government. The weak governments of the past 175 years has meant San Francisco has been one of the most creative and vital cities in the world and most recently created the Beatniks, the Hippies and the Gay community. That global source of innovation may be lost.
The alternative is Sodom and Gomorrah, which I can no longer countenance.
