by Joe B. Recently I read in He has the petition sighed by 20,000 citizen’s seeing houseless folks all over the Castro, Noe Valley, West of Twin Peaks, and West Portal. All they see is homeless people on the streets. Funny with all the financial upheaval from Enron, World Com, or other business related turmoil they believe houseless folk are the problem. I guess that stuff is too big but homeless people is something they can deal with. These people use to live in those same neighborhoods but once evicted, rent hiked skyward. Those voting for the charming, fair-haired, fresh faced, glittery, glint eyed Gavin will themselves be next as speculation and property value soar. See how he frames houseless people, notice they are first people of color, its not a new face of homeless folk but a widening chasm of the poor. Whether we're white, red, brown, black, or yellow its economic disregard for those not making enough bucks to be care for or about. Like Newsom, the signee’s don’t see working poor with families struggling, elderly being removed from their living spaces, women with families with sub or minimum wage jobs falling behind. Instead they are blinded by a quick negative photo conveying contempt masking the real problems like better choices in jobs, up graded training, higher education, and most importantly housing. Its has always been housing and jobs not drugs, housing and careers not sleeping in public, housing not panhandling. Taking people’s checks because you believe most of the homeless spend it on drugs is the arrogance of ignorance and blindly thinking all poor folks are the same. If they were you wouldn’t see ‘em reading, carrying books from libraries or because they’re in school, or have work in other professions other than what can be seen. We’re not monolithic people in thoughts, deeds, ideas, or ideologies. You know what I use to spend my General Assistance checks on? Sometimes it was books on fiction, history, biography, movies, and regular feminine companionship (monogamous) safe sex if you want to know. Besides looking for jobs too and I’m not the only one but does Newsome and others care or know that – No, they want to control what houseless do with their own money. When you control someone’s personal economics you can dictate whatever terms you want. Dangling someone else’s money to do your bidding is. Is this guys smiling face is only a mask is he really that serious that he’s willing to cause more "accidental" deaths by turning homeless folk into pariah’s so even if they do find ways out of their mess they’ll still have to fight a negative stigma. This guy is so Oily wet slick that he makes Willie Brown seem fair and honest by comparison. I think of Dan White, another squeeky clean up standing though working class guy and when he didn’t get his way after quitting his supervisor job; we all know the tragic end to that Just as Tom Ammiano San Francisco Supervisor is American as anyone else with tons more of experience in life and politics knows that the hidden agenda can help or hinder pol’s and its best to lay the cards on the table and be done with games. Are all of Newsom’s cards on the table or is he hiding more slight of hand tricks with extra cards to play? I get an ominous feeling that blood will flow again only it won’t be seen in City Hall but all over from working poor and houseless people. I could be wrong but just in case Mr. G. and his handler’s or backers backgrounds should be check on thoroughly. Lets find this candidates skeletons, and inform the public if he won’t … Bye.
