San Francisco issues affecting quality of life

I could not find too many issues related to this topic but I found some interesting ones. First let me tell you that I have nothing personally against the Actual San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. However as a San Franciscan, I do observe daily the streets and talk to neighbors. I want to reach something that it is more transparent and as close to the reality as possible. We all know that San Francisco it is divided by neighborhoods and many parts of the City offers different levels of habitat and quality of living. However eight Years has passed since the Mayor took seat at the San Francisco City Hall substituting the previous Mayor Willie Brown and many issues of City importance has not been resolved. I well know that many things has been done and I am not discrediting the Mayor or its administration. However many things have been left undone and from these, I will make these simple observations:

1. The Mayor has not being able to fix or get hold of the City Transportation through its Departments and Commissions at City Hall. Our transportation has been an acoustic and mechanical environmental mistake since 2001 after the City bought and (overpaid) for the new buses that are mechanically inferior in quality than the previous one. SFMTA Muni, ignored during these eight years many citizens complaints and insist in adopting a "Nazist" policy of noise thus acoustically invading many homes along the way and degrading its inhabitants quality of life.

2. The Mayor Trusted its elitists consultants and subordinates that keep him out of reality concerning transportation, public safety, crime and traffic public safety in the City of San Francisco.

3. Between what the Mayor says as eloquent as he is and with corporate media support all the way to the Bank versus the reality of the streets has a long, long way to go as he has not being able to accomplish its goals, to between many things at least offer a fair public safety, a good environmental transportation that would maintain the quality of life to its citizens in San Francisco.

Well, the big question remains in the minds of every Californian as time goes by and the next election for governor begins. - Should Mayor Newsom, with many present unfinished business in San Francisco, pass the revolving door to Sacramento?

Unlike corporate media Mayor Newsom, I cannot lie for you!
From my part I do have a responsibility to expose issues of importance happening in the City of San Francisco and I have a feeling that somewhere, somehow there is a lie that it is so big and evident that the general public need to be alert and act on it if we are to clean up bad works, mistakes and bad business.
