Wow, @MayorEdLee & the city are taking a hard stance on how filthy #OccupySF is. Guess they'll be shutting down Tenderloin & Bayview too???

I just wanted to follow up on our previous communications.



I have sent a strongly worded notice to the tenants at 1061 Market Street, and am conducting an investigation into the responsible parties. I plan to follow up my letter with direct communication with the tenants. Please rest assured we are taking appropriate action to prevent a repeat of last weekend’s events.



With respect to your blog, I note that I am identified in your November 12, 2011 entry: “Apparently Jennifer Chen at JC Investments has been renting empty office space to hundreds of ravers lately, who have been scrawling graffiti all over Mid Market, including Kaplan's surplus store next door…” Following this, you do posit an alternate explanation, but the above is the first and most impactful statement. I would appreciate it if you could, at a minimum, include an update to the blog entry which incorporates my response, namely that the landlord JC Investment did not authorize any of the raves, and is taking prompt action to prevent a recurrence of such events.



As per our email exchange, please feel free to call me any time you ever see similar activity on site. Thank you.



Sincerely,



Jennifer Chen

This is our fine-feathered visitor who appears outside our kitchen window every now and then. He (she?) likes to perch on our fire escape and occasionally swoop down and grab a pigeon. The faint chirping sound towards the end is a hummingbird who was hovering around the hawk. The crows like to make sport of taunting him but he seems unfazed by both by their antics and my camera.

“The Untold, Untold Story” Goes Online

Leland Yee campaign can’t print “The Real Ed Lee” book fast enough for demand



SAN FRANCISCO – The reviews are in and the “The Real Ed Lee: The Untold, Untold Story” is a smash hit!



Has a serious political point, but it's actually funny, sometimes really funny, and it's much easier to read than the plodding "Ed-Is-Greater-Than-God" prose of the original…. For once, we have a campaign piece that made me laugh instead of crying. - San Francisco Bay Guardian



OMG, A new best seller to be! - Some guy on the internet



Everyone is talking about it! - SFist



The 55-page parody shows Lee on the cover as downcast, grumpy and triple-chinned. The book recounts dozens of previously published stories detailing everything from the two district attorney investigations into alleged ethics violations by his supporters and alleged cronyism. – San Francisco Chronicle



The 56-page booklet is heavily footnoted with URLs - The Bay Citizen



((*sound of crickets*)) – Interim Mayor Ed Lee



The slim volume oozes sarcasm as it covers the history of Ed Lee’s tenure as mayor, including his promise to not run for a full term and charges of inappropriate campaign donations from contractors. - San Francisco Examiner



This is the first "hit" recipe in political history. - Eric Jaye



Less than three-months hence, Lee’s campaign is beset by multiple criminal investigations into alleged campaign money laundering, ballot tampering and other campaign election violations. - Fog City Journal



[Ed Lee staff] were pretty disgusted by it. - Tony Winnicker



Painstakingly put together to resemble the original propaganda mailer to the smallest detail. The type fonts are identical. The jaunty writing style is mocked all too well. - SF Weekly



The Leland Yee for Mayor campaign has already distributed thousands of “The Real Ed Lee: The Untold, Untold Story” to voters throughout San Francisco, however, the demand for the book has been so great that today Yee’s campaign launched the book online at http://www.lelandyee.com/the-untold-untold-story.



“We can’t print the books fast enough,” said Jim Stearns, Yee’s campaign manager. “Now that it is online every San Franciscan will have the opportunity to read this accurate account of our interim mayor and be able to compare his tarnished and corruption-filled record to Leland Yee’s 23 years of leadership and experience fighting for our community, especially seniors, students, and the most vulnerable.”



“The Real Ed Lee: The Untold, Untold Story” is a response to a book produced by one Ed Lee’s billionaire IE committees, which falsely glorified the interim mayor and ignored the multiple scandals and ethics violations of his campaign. The highlights of “The Real Ed Lee: The Untold, Untold Story” include Lee becoming interim mayor on false pretenses, his approval of fraudulent contracts, giving “golden parachutes, embracing cronyism, failure to follow ethics laws, illegal campaign contributions, money laundering (well, the first time), voter fraud, and the city’s future if Ed Lee were elected. The book also includes “Willie [Brown] & Rose’s [Pak] ‘No Longer Secret’ Make-A-Mayor Recipe.”



By comparison, Leland Yee has released several detailed plans on job creation, environmental protection, transportation, and schools. Maybe the most important of his plans – “An Independent City Hall” – would clean up City Hall, bring real transparency and accountability, kick out the powerbrokers, and return our local government to the people.
