Emily Smith6 said:The City Council just pushed through that resolution regarding the proposed "singles hotel," and apparently, the residents were so thrilled about it that they were practically hugging the officials. It’s quite the scene.The City Council just reached a unanimous decision regarding the property over on 81st Street. For those tenants who qualify under the protected rent provisions, their lease rates will be set to match current standards. We’re also looking at reviewing the specific requirements for contract addendums to ensure we can offer indefinite terms, provided there are clearly defined termination clauses in place. On top of that, the Department of Public Works has been tasked with coordinating with Exelon to handle the utility reclassification, effectively switching the electricity rates from industrial back to residential. The goal is to have all the groundwork completed by the end of June, which should hopefully allow tenants to start signing their new contract addendums starting July 1st.
A group of rather enthusiastic residents were seen practically hugging the lead official after he fought tooth and nail to get this specific issue onto the City Council agenda.
It seems someone is feeling quite proud of themselves.
https://www.facebook.com/zrinkamuzin...36098335796305The first item on today’s City Council agenda—specifically regarding the residents over at 81 Main Street—has finally wrapped up. They've reached a decision that should, in theory, protect the rights of everyone living there.
The conclusions essentially boil down to a few key changes regarding existing contracts. Starting July 1st, we’re looking at those agreements being converted to indefinite terms. There's also a plan to lower rent for those qualifying under social assistance categories, along with a reduction in electricity costs for tenants—specifically by shifting them from industrial rates over to standard residential pricing.
Once today's conclusions are actually carried out, I suppose we might finally be able to say that the rights of the residents in this building—which has been built and maintained through decades of their own hard work and contributions—will truly be protected. Maybe then, they’ll actually be able to live their lives with a bit more peace and security.
I feel a certain sense of pride seeing that our advocacy over the last few months has actually paid off. It looks like we might finally be able to settle this issue once and for all. I suppose the residents over at 81 Main Street truly earned this win; after all, it’s really on all of us to ensure that citizens aren't left stranded in some sort of legal limbo through no fault of their own. Helping people secure their basic stability should be a given, I guess.
The Republican Party in San Francisco.Thanks to the persistent efforts of our City Council members and our Vice President, we’ve finally secured some resolutions that should protect the rights of the residents over at 81 El Paso in the long run.
If the opposition hadn't dragged this matter before the City Council, I suspect we wouldn't be seeing any resolution at all. It’s honestly a bit baffling why this wasn't addressed much sooner; it almost makes it seem as though the opposition were the ones who actually stepped up to get things sorted out.

velvetmason14 said:The corruption is just oozing out of everywhere...
That Republican Drake guy, Primrose, managed to grab a 75m2 city apartment for only $50,000. 🤦
Then there's the Republican Party's John Boozman, who got a 73m2 place for just $8,000. 🤦
What a total joke of a list ...
Keith Martin7 said:If we're talking about dollars, they didn't blow more than 70 bucks total, $6.25 which works out to over $87 per person. Personally, I grab a decent lunch at Panera for $40 all the time.
And another thing: they claim "the meal was eaten during a break in the City Council session."
There are about 30 Councilmen on the board, so how in the world can it be "no more than 70 people" at lunch?
| I guess I'm just checking in... nothing much going on here... just hanging out... anyway... mellowseal1 says: Who actually signed off on that fine or the inspection report? There’s gotta be some local San Francisco name on that signature line... Honestly, whoever that guy is, he deserves a massive thank you... seriously, we owe him big time. 🤣 Even the most aggressive PR firms in the country couldn't pull off a promotion this intense... Not even with a full team of paid lobbyists on the payroll... I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that! It looks like you might have sent a typo or just a fragment... could you try again? I'm all ears! |
velvetmason14 said:Even there, you find honest workers who are just pushing back against the troublemakers. And they aren't holding back...
The Republican Party and their unnamed US person lackeys are scrambling everywhere. Milina 😍
Nobody is taking them down quite like that unnamed US politician and his crew...
Not everyone in the Waste Management strike group wants in: 'We don't want to help serve the private interests of a few violent slackers'
unnamed US person:
'Most demands have been met, and we distance ourselves from any potential unrest or public pressure.'
Waste Management employees understand how much they earn and the weight of their responsibilities, especially with the start of the tourist season. They refuse to get dragged into serving the private agendas of a handful of violent slackers within Waste Management, and they are distancing themselves from any chaos or public pressure being orchestrated by a small group of agitators for this Wednesday.
Rebecca Ward2 said:If I recall correctly, the base price was maybe around $800, and you had to pay extra for all the add-ons. That’s just how I remember it, so I might be slightly off.
As far as Joe goes as a salesman, I don't think there's any shame in it at all; if anything, it’s quite the opposite.
Then again, we don't really know for sure whether he was actually successful or not.
driftingorca16 said:That vacuum cleaner stunt was actually a masterclass in politics: just sell something useless to someone who's broke, but tell them it'll make them look cool to people who couldn't care less.
Anthony Hill5 said:It is the central bank's assets held abroad that have been frozen, not those within Russia. This morning, the Central Bank burned through 7 billion dollars just to stabilize the Ruble. One has to wonder: how much longer can they sustain this before they completely exhaust the reserves they actually hold in Russia?
copperstag95 said:Hello there, I actually recovered from my bout with it back in mid-November 2021.
Now, my little guy is showing symptoms; we have an official PCR test scheduled for this coming Friday, though his rapid home test came back negative.
Has anyone else here been in close contact with someone infectious shortly after they themselves had already cleared the virus?
According to the current guidelines, I don't technically need to isolate, and I'm not heading into the office anyway, but I suppose I wonder—did you all choose to self-isolate just in case, or did you mostly carry on with your lives, perhaps running errands while wearing a mask and such?
nimbleranger17 said:I’ve already laid this out for you once before. Honestly, if someone has already gone through three rounds of vaccinations, there’s absolutely no reason they should be forced into isolation.
nimbleranger17 said:Essentially, what this means for you is that you'll need to stay in self-isolation for an additional seven days, counting from the very moment the infected person is cleared to step out of their own isolation.
nimbleranger17 said:I basically laid it all out last night right here:
Look, if you aren't able to effectively quarantine, then the CDC guidelines dictate that the clock starts ticking from the very last day that infected person was out in the world.
