Mr. Ginsburg, Rec & Parks general manager, denied knowing about the over-the-top scare tactic memo from his dept. which dragged out event people on Friday for no reason. Just one indicator of how Rec & Parks works…either in disarray or with deception. Rec & Parks claim that donors won’t give to a dept. that seeks balance, transparency and is more responsive to the people is very insulting to all. We need to take back OUR parks from a small group of Newsom appointed insiders who vote in unison so frequently that they sometimes don’t bother to ask for the “nay” votes! Their goal is to commercialize and privatize our parks. Any San Franciscan knows that a commission voting in unison nearly 95% of the time is not representing the diversity of San Francisco. The Mirkarimi Rec & Parks Charter Amendment would provide balance, transparency and respect for park users that is sorely missing with the current Commission. Vote yes in Nov. to save our parks from privatization.

Haven’t you ever been to these meetings? This is no different from how it works now in San Francisco.

Every meeting, some loudmouth asshole gets up and starts yelling at the top of his lungs about how this plan/event/whatever is ruining his life and yeah it only cost him ten cents but it’s the principal of the thing, BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Then the community “leaders” let him dominate the entire discussion because they don’t have the balls to tell him to shut up or throw him out.

tl;dr: NIMBYS ruin shit in SF.
