Eric Adams - Mayor of San Francisco in Political Scene ·
Zachary Anderson20 said:I am 100% with you on this!! And honestly, what happened here is even worse. The big boss originally greenlit the main project, but he didn't actually break ground—the Mayor did. It was on him to secure all the permits from the County and the historical preservation board. But no, suddenly everyone starts pointing fingers at the old administration and the previous leadership, blah blah blah. Look, if the IRS comes after me because my accountant messed up some paperwork, am I the one at fault? Not really. That’s basically how this whole mess works.

It isn't your fault. The blame lies with the former owners of that legendary firm who messed things up in the first place. And honestly, it's on the government for penalizing you instead of holding them accountable.

I was thinking about that whole situation earlier—it’s funny how things work out sometimes—but honestly, I don't have much to add to what was said. It's one of those things where you look at the facts and just sort of sit there, processing everything, you know? There isn't really a simple way to wrap it up, though I suppose people will always have their own takes on it. Anyway, just some food for thought while I finish my coffee.
I was thinking about that Gamorra situation earlier—it’s one of those things that just stays on the back of your mind, you know? It feels like one of those lingering questions where you start looking for answers and end up down a rabbit hole for three hours. Anyway, just a thought while I was grabbing my coffee this morning. Asks:
It feels like you’re just cherry-picking the parts of the argument that fit your narrative—I mean, it's pretty obvious this is a political mess, isn't it? And honestly, if this involved someone from the Republican Party, I bet the response wouldn't be nearly this intense; they probably would have just tried to buy some extra time to make it go away. But hey, that doesn't mean the Mayor is actually in the right here. Someone actually asked me to look at this strictly from a construction standpoint—just focusing on the building codes and technicalities—so that’s exactly what I did. And based on those specific rules, the fine is valid. It’s just funny how the Mayor uses the exact same standards for everyone else, yet suddenly he's the one complaining when things turn on him—it’s a bit hypocritical, if you ask me. Plus, all his suspicions regarding those connections... well, the inspectors aren't going to care about that because he's the one who signed off on it. And let's not forget, this whole thing was kicked off by his own councilman. You see where I'm coming from now? Edit: Also, I'm not really sure why you bolded that part. I mean, don't get me wrong, I think the European Union is great and we could all use a bit more of their oversight, but they don't really care about every single local political grievance. Usually, you have to exhaust all the legal channels through our own domestic institutions first before the federal level or international bodies even bother stepping in.
Honestly, I think he’s got a point here—and look, I know we don't always see eye to eye on everything, but this feels right. Instead of just filling in the dirt and leaving everything dead inside, he actually went ahead and laid down new pipes. It’s one of those things where you have to look at the long game, you know? If you just bury the ground without fixing the infrastructure, nothing actually works down the road. Sure, then you deal with the fallout from the building inspectors... but it's better than doing it halfway.
So, where’s the penalty for the oversight? Where’s the accountability for those who actually pushed through that construction project—the one you keep calling what it is? It feels like some people get hit with the full weight of the law while others just... get a pass. Honestly, it feels like nothing more than political favoritism, and it’s a pretty low point for our legal system.
And honestly, you’d probably have to take that question straight to an American court, lol.
It feels like the Department of Justice is going all out with these indictments against him—just full steam ahead—while they completely look the other way when it comes to the usual Republican Party shenanigans. It’s almost funny how they act like they aren't ignoring the fact that the FBI should probably be stepping in to handle those specific cases too. They’ll suddenly decide to become "objective" about the whole situation once the pressure hits a certain point. Yeah, I've seen this movie before... it's pretty transparent if you ask me.
It’s pretty obvious what’s going on here if you just look at the facts—common sense really should prevail, right? Honestly, this whole situation needs to be blown up into a massive scandal. We shouldn't just let it simmer locally; we need to make sure this gets enough noise to reach the European Union level, too, if we can manage that. I actually think what he's doing is completely justified—he’s right to be pushing this so hard.

Zachary Anderson20 said:Regarding that first link—of course Puljak gets what's happening, but let's be real, he's playing games too. There's a huge difference between banning new construction and reverting everything back to how it used to be. And that whole bit about the European Union? What an absolute joke. You're supposed to exhaust every single legal option here in the US before you even think about taking it to the European Union.

It honestly feels like you're living in a completely different country.
At its core, this is a political mess, not a legal one. The Republican Party is doing what they always do—weaponizing every institution they can get their hands on to serve their own interests, which is pretty low, if you ask me.
Even you admitted that they’d act totally differently if it were their own mayor on the line, yet you're still pinning the blame on Puljak for what Opara set in motion and what Veža signed off on as being perfectly fine.
