Unauthorized First Place Award to the last three mayors and city councils who have served them. Numero Uno for “Letting the Homeless Rule a Former Orchid of the Pacific Coast.”
We now have a dying weed called “our business corridor” from Sola to Stearns Wharf on State Street. Hats off, grand prize for disaster. It is isn’t a matter of political persuasion, liberal or conservative, but simply universal neglect while awaiting pensions for “public service” or monthly checks for council positions.
The homeless, drunk and mentally ill rule the streets now, urinating in outside seating areas while restaurant staffs and legitimate customers wait for half an hour for the cops to show up. A friend and I at Brazil Arts watched this take place at an adjacent cafe.
