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...

So much for people taking Public Transportation and so much of a fail system that cost over $700 million....

Arce tells the homeless people who complain about his actions that he has the blessing of the city to “clean up” the streets of downtown Fresno. A California Public Records Act request shows that Arce is bluffing - no suc...
