But when a genuine whack-job comes along--the kind of guy who calls himself "Question Mark" and turns in essays on bloodbat...

What happened to our fundamental right to liberty? I don't know if "health, housing, public service" is the correct topic title. I just want to share a horrific story that I think people should be aware of since this really did happen to me. I had a temper tantrum on July 30, 2006, and two of my windows were accidentally broken when something that I had thrown accidentally hit them. Next thing I know, five male police officers storm my apartment, I'm handcuffed, taken to SFGH on a 5150, drugged without my consent or even knowledge, denied ...

Supes to Vote on Affordable Housing Package Today With the City facing $130 million in surplus revenues, Supervisor Chris Daly has proposed a $28 million budget supplemental to acquire, construct and rehabilitate housing – with half the units targeted at those making less than $27,000 a year. Over the weekend, Mayor Gavin Newsom said that he opposed the housing supplemental – while at the same time urging the City to “do more” to get more affordable housing units. With a Mayoral-Board showdown looming on the horizon, over 100 housing activis...
