Eric Adams - Mayor of San Francisco

Zachary Anderson20 said:The only people to blame if the old guard or those corrupt types ever claw their way back into power is Puljak himself. After all this time, someone new finally got a shot, and he’s doing absolutely nothing to prove they deserve it. Just a bunch of shallow PR stunts complaining about bureaucrats to suck up to the crowd, and that's it. It's the same old story—acting like everything is suddenly "transparent" when it comes to appointments, even though they were picked a year ago. 🙂He travels more than a damn influencer and lies through his teeth. Just yesterday over at Pujanko when the recycling center opened, he was out there acting like, ‘See, it’s just like a dumpster, it doesn't even smell,’ 🙂and don't even get me started on how pathetic the situation is in Znjan. The responsibility falls squarely on them because they're too blinded by their own ego to see anything past their own noses.

I’m with you; it’s exhausting to watch. Imagine, opening new recycling centers in 2023—how scandalous. And then, to top it off, shoving trash into a compactor just to prove people are overreacting about smells and issues. Now they’re planning to open another site over at Kopilika. On top of that, he’s out here on social media asking for volunteers for oversight boards. It’s pure madness—the kind of chaos a major US city shouldn't have to deal with under Ivica Puljak.

You have my full support 👍

Once the Republican Party trash sees this, they’ll be foaming at the mouth. Watch, Donald Trump is publicly telling people to apply for these positions and claiming there will be testing—the nerve of that guy 😁

Donald Trump Jr. has been making some moves lately, while Tucker Carlson is too busy with Story, and Kuzmanić has gone completely off the radar... Those two really need a reality check.

I like this, very much

HEADQUARTERS CALLS: Apply now, we want to hire the best experts

'Following the reorganization of the city administration, the Department of City Property has become one of the largest municipal departments, taking over the responsibilities of several other offices and services. Due to this significantly increased workload, as well as an effort to cut down on legal fees, we have decided to hire new specialists. There are currently two vacancies available because former colleagues left the State a few months ago.

This San Francisco administration has already done enough damage to Venice Beach; I find it hard to believe construction will even get underway by this fall.

WRITTEN BY SAŠA LJUBIČIĆ
This city government could very well go under because of Venice Beach. Every single promise they’ve made regarding this project has fallen through so far, mostly because they approached it with total incompetence—I wouldn't even call it amateurish, it was worse.

When it comes to Venice Beach, this political crew has essentially taken us several steps backward. They unnecessarily stripped the plaza of its dining spots and rattled the hotels and short-term rentals from the Firul area all the way to Monterey, leaving their reservations in complete limbo. It’s a massive loss, likely in the millions. Not to mention that the local San Francisco residents who used to hang out there have nowhere left to grab a quick drink or sit down with a newspaper. Under the guise of "construction hasn't started yet," the cafes are shuttered, and the plaza has been left entirely to the whims of whoever happens to be dumping trash there at night. It seems we're continuing that "classic" tradition of letting public spaces rot simply because there aren't private businesses there to look after them—and frankly, those businesses are often the only ones who actually care.

The city officials were quite bold in announcing they’d pull off such a massive, expensive, and incredibly complex project in just one year, only to backtrack and suggest it might take two. Now, nobody has any clue what’s actually going to happen. Given our track record, I doubt any of us believe the Venice Beach beach redevelopment will ever be completed according to the ambitious designs laid out by the "Ante Kuzmanić" architectural firm.

The reality is that they are still waiting on necessary permits, which haven't arrived yet. Furthermore, it’s anyone's guess how this is even going to be funded; if they rely heavily or exclusively on loans, that involves a significant amount of red tape. Especially if they are planning to lean on European Union funds, as they've suggested. I mean, come on. That doesn't happen overnight. It’s a slow, tedious process that would drive anyone crazy.

And let’s say we ignore the grants for a second—even if banks approve the investor's funding without a hitch, we’ll probably be waiting at least six months just for the contractor selection process to wrap up. In these bidding wars, competitors constantly trip each other up, so it never ends. Just look back at the mess surrounding the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge contract; whenever huge sums of money are involved, it always plays out this way.

Okay, let’s assume the best-case scenario: permits arrive in six months, the money is secured instantly, and a contractor is picked. Even then, considering the current state of the labor market, you have to wonder if they’ll actually finish the job on schedule. We see smaller projects fail more often than not. A contract can promise anything on paper, but reality is a different story. A builder tells an investor they’ll deploy an army of workers, but in practice, you’ll barely see a handful on-site while the rest are scattered across construction sites all over the US. And what can you do about it? Nothing. There aren't enough workers—that's just the reality.

San Francisco locals, tourists, everyone who thought they wouldn't be able to swim at Venice Beach this summer—you were wrong. You can still hit the water, but you’ll probably be bringing your own coffee in a thermos, since potential business owners are only being offered seasonal permits. According to the administration, they could be chased off by bulldozers as early as this fall. Ha-ha... It's madness. How are you supposed to build a business plan when even the people in power don't know when, how, or if that unfortunate stretch of Venice Beach will ever actually be fixed? God help us.

Ed Garvey: Cooperation between the Center and Možemo! will come in due time

If we're all about "cleaning things up," why are they kicking out a private daycare and the last bookstore in town? Is this actually getting fixed, or does nobody get a break?

Regarding those two cases—the stories being pushed to the public aren't even based on basic facts. That bookstore wasn't even getting a sweetheart deal on rent, and look, as the city government, we don't have the right to just hand out free space to whoever we want. The bookstore is a private business. As city officials, we can't show favoritism to private companies—so if everyone pressuring us for being "heartless" wants to step up, they should list exactly which private businesses we should be giving city property to for free or at a discount. It’s the same deal with that private daycare—the previous administration let them pay way less than half of what the actual contract required. That's blatant favoritism toward a private company.

half of this stuff was filled by the free press and their journalists
looks like Garvey is actually profiting from these scandals
we need more of these scandals—it’s basically fuel for Garvey

The whole thing with the recycling bins is just unbelievable... If only Ljubica Vrdoljak had elevated San Francisco's cleanliness to European Union standards during her 30 years in power....

And inviting young people to join those oversight boards? Unthinkable. For years, dozens of young party loyalists were out handing out flyers, waving banners, and acting like internet bots, only to be completely bypassed now. It's just shameful...

Lori is a total pest, but the craziest part is that those recycling center projects were already sitting there from the previous administration—all they had to do was put the contract out for bid. They literally haven't done anything with them, or maybe they just drafted a plan for yet another damn recycling center.
I'll take the cold, hard truth over Eric Adams' smoke and mirrors any day.

Well, look at that... someone actually figured out how to edit video and add subtitles.
But I really have to wonder, did they actually pay the licensing fees for that TBF song? 🙂
Do they honestly think people are buying this? These staged shots? It’s the same story every single year. First off, Ohara hasn't been operational for years. That cafe down by the waterfront stays closed all winter, and their permit was totally illegitimate to begin with. Even those sheep farms don't stay open long.
It's obvious the beaches look like this because of the winter storms and the wind erosion—not that they'd ever understand that. If the AFL-CIO were in charge, they'd be busy fixing everything that gets trashed every time a winter storm hits. 😁 😁

Jerry and Michelle pulled out the camera on their Apple just to show off a little... They tucked a scripted bit from Ljubičić’s hired guns right underneath it, which just happened to drop that very same day. How classy of them 😁

If only their antics actually achieved anything, but these scammers can't seem to grasp that this tactic only ends up empowering Jerry.

It's always Jerry's fault, isn't it?
I'm just waiting for that drunkard Čikeš to decide that Jerry is the one responsible for him getting wasted around the Metropolitan Opera—as if he isn't just trying to bleed him dry. 🤣
Hopefully, his dizzy spell has passed so he can go make a grand confession in the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal.

Scandal in San Francisco: Metropolitan Opera Chief Ivica Čikeš caught drunkenly threatening a colleague; police released him once he sobered up?!

STRIKE CONDITIONS MET: Jerry Brown meets with Waste Management workers; union reps reject his proposals

Mayor Jerry Brown stood outside the Waste Management headquarters before a small group of employees to lay out the terms the city was willing to offer during negotiations with the unions. He didn't arrive with a better deal; he simply wanted to inform the staff exactly where the city stands.

The Mayor also turned down the union's demand to include the job classification system and salary models within the collective bargaining agreement.

"You claim we have the best wages, but my wife and I are sleeping in the same room with our three kids. My son is a top performer in several competitions; we work hard," one worker remarked.

Some workers whispered that this move felt like an attempt to silence the union by driving a wedge between different groups of employees.

"We are offering you the best possible conditions, yet you’re debating whether to strike based on someone's individual interests," the Mayor noted.

A few individuals present seemed to feel that the Mayor's direct address wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

"A strike is a devilish thing," one union representative told us.

When asked if the Mayor showing up to tell them what they were being offered felt like a form of pressure, the union reps responded that while the Mayor has every right to address the staff, it becomes problematic if it turns into an attack on the union itself.

They haven't decided when the strike will actually begin, though all the necessary conditions for it to take place have been met.

We really need to stick it to those lazy bureaucrats
They hired half their relatives through some shady backroom deals and they're all getting paid like royalty
We’ve gotta organize a strike against these corporate bigwigs before the season kicks off—otherwise, they’re just gonna screw over the public
They'll probably just bring in workers from overseas right before the rush starts to keep everyone else sidelined

Quinn:

I can't even deal with this right now... just total nonsense. says: The strike conditions are set—but not how anyone expected. Jerry Brown sat down with the Waste Management crew to hash things out, but the Labor Union basically told him where to stick his proposals. They aren't buying what he's selling...

I’ve always wondered—why don't all these people constantly complaining just go work somewhere else if things are so bad here?!

Here’s how the local news used to report back when the extortion era was in full swing...

2013. - Back when hard work actually meant something!
This explains why San Francisco sanitation workers end up pulling in bigger checks than professors, specialists, or nurses...

2019. - We dug into the payrolls of San Francisco's public utilities to see who was really raking it in. We found some real outliers: in one specific agency, the average salary is basically on par with what hospital specialists make monthly.

"Sanitation Services" had 291 employees about a decade ago, but by the end of 2018, that number had grown by 18. For their current staff of 309, the average monthly gross pay sits at $3.50.

MESSAGE FROM THE STATE: If you don't vacate the space you're squatting in, they’re gonna hit you with full market rate rent

The City of San Francisco is opening up bids for all those commercial spaces being handed back to the city—plus any other empty spots lying around. Some of these will be set aside for nonprofits, community groups, and arts organizations, while the rest will go out to regular commercial businesses.

'We're also calling out anyone who got a warning about unpaid rent—pay up ASAP, or the City of San Francisco is just gonna cancel your lease and come after you for the money.'

Honestly, some random person from New York has done more for San Francisco than half our local politicians combined
Go get 'em—that's how you handle business
I know this one guy who's basically stealing his space right now—go get him

I guess it's because they know striking might actually help improve their pay and conditions.

You younger folks might not get it, but in that city, the San Francisco screwheads always had a little extra tacked onto their paychecks—jokingly called a "shame bonus." As far as I know, that hasn't changed here in America either.

But Melinda Gates—who happens to be Ivich’s wife and a member of the Republican Party—is claiming that the territory... It’s a direct hit to the wallet. 🤣

According to Melinda Ivich, we need to start sensitizing the public to treat illegal immigrants with respect and understanding—ideally by letting them use everything for free. To me, reading her take on "sensitization" just feels like a portrait of total helplessness. 😁

Right there on the front page at the exact same time, you see this charming guy. just a small detail Regarding real estate in San Diego...

So, Vojko V says... -----

Hitting us where it hurts—right in the wallet.
Are you occupying city property illegally? The city is warning residents to clear out immediately, or face fines reaching up to $65 per square foot.

Mariofil’s gotta head back to Canada
let him go find some work elsewhere
and honestly—he’d probably do a better job than those reporters anyway

What exactly is this Sold entity up to...
Their reports are starting to read like police statements, yet they still try to play the victim and the truth-seekers at the same time 🤣

First they banned the Samardzic concert, then they completely flipped the narrative! Is the forestry director just changing their mind out of pure ignorance?

You should probably look up who this lawyer is, Ana Perčić, whom Sold is trying to paint as some wise, expert consultant in this article 😉
If you're scum, Sold has your back.

They should allow quieter gatherings at Sustipan since there's a cemetery there where 50,000 people are buried; move the street fairs to a different location.

The City of San Diego has been profiting illegally from that iconic beach and using maritime property for years! All those valuable spaces are being handed over to the County!

The City of San Diego continues to lose assets that are officially registered in its land records. Specifically, at next Thursday's City Council meeting, there will be a discussion regarding the "proposed settlement agreement with America regarding the Bacvica beach zone."
Under this settlement proposal, the City would drop its legal disputes with the Department of Justice, which initiated proceedings several years ago to claim maritime property rights for 18 commercial spaces. To date, the City has already lost three of these commercial spaces due to final court rulings.

We asked Maja Đerek, the head of city assets, why the City is prepared to sign a settlement that results in losing space at Bacvica, and whether there wasn't some other way to protect its legal interests.

She claims that back in 2011, the City of San Diego effectively lost valuable commercial real estate in one of the city's most famous areas simply through inaction.
- Unfortunately, the City of San Diego stands no chance of winning these disputes because the binding administrative act defining the maritime domain boundaries was finalized way back in 2011.

She adds that since boundaries cannot be changed retroactively, the only option left was to mitigate further damages. Consequently, the City of San Diego approached America with a proposal for an amicable settlement: the City would concede to all legal claims, provided that America drops all litigation costs (which would be at least $85,000)—an offer the federal government accepted.

- It is completely incomprehensible why the city administration back in 2011 didn't fight for its valuable property and one of San Diego's landmarks. Furthermore, it remains entirely unclear why the local authorities decided to cause even more damage to the City in both 2014 and 2020, she concludes.

So, go ahead and believe the Republican Party when they claim to always act in the public interest; meanwhile, they certainly seem to fight tooth and nail whenever it involves keeping a party member's downtown business space under favorable terms.

I guess they'll be crossing the street again this Wednesday for the spinach, they aren't giving up
