Campers,

I lived in the TL for a couple of decades and since 2000 with the exception of Jane Kim, it has always had a fire breather to represent them in D-6.

I mean, who the fuck can forget my pal (he really is) …

What’d I say?

I’m not fucking around one bit.

Presently, the citizens of D-6 are represented by a camera-seeking opportunistic phoney and would be far better off with the authentic fighter for housing for the poor, Dean Preston.

So, the task of caring for our most downtrodden would move on to the very broad shoulders of Supervisor Dean Preston.

I recall meeting him during the 2007 election and accusing him of being some kind of spy.

Turns out I shudda been placing an olive wreath on his head.

He was working for Randy Shaw then at the Tenderloin Housing Clinic working for Shaw, but not under his direction.

That was explained to me but someone, I forget who long ago.

Preston then went forward to bigger things creating his entire state-wide niche and multiplying his clientele.

I don’t mean to badmouth, Matt Haney too much for being a young man in a hurry, on a resume’ fat with commissions and committees.

He’s a Stanford Law grad I think and their classes are much more selective than Harvard cause Classes are about a third those of the …

Enuff, Haney is outta here in Mid-April if he wins and will only come back for a couple of peremptory clashes with my man, Campos if he has his way.

And, for the first time in 40 years District 6 will have a long-time YIMBY supervisor in Sonia Trauss (I know, she lives in East Bay now but that can change really fast – just as the people that Reverend Amos Brown evicted on the quick get-n-go so’s he could accept Willie Brown’s offer of an appointment as supe.

You live long enuff and stand in the same place pretty much everything goes by you at least twice.

So, da Dawg wants Campos in Assembly 17 which will be like getting Clarence Darrow into the Sacramento Casino in place of Count Dracula who has teamed with Harvard classmate, Scott Weiner over the past fifteen or twenty years to take away a whole shitload of local land control from San Franciscans.

Haney can return to 6 for another term after this one and be more comfortable in a D-6 population of 80,000 or so that has been largely cleansed of the drug addicts and tent-lined streets.

Oh, they’ll be there.

He just won’t be responsible for them.

Haney reminds me most of Bobby Kennedy.

I don’t know why …

Upon the event of the brilliant and high energy Supervisor Hillary Ronen’s taking over the mostly restauranty Northern Valencia Street business district, we’ll get free admission to Dolores Park.

Yeah, Preston for the Tenderloin and Campos replacing Chiu which leaves Haney in an increasingly gated D-6

I’m loving the redistricting battle Royale.

However, if the they think this old beat up dawg is gonna stay up til 3am to watch them I just want to close by quoting Chris Daly again …

"Fuck youuuuuuu!!!"

Go Giants!
