I live in San Francisco, quite possibly the silliest place in the world.
A couple of months ago, it was disclosed that the City and County of San Francisco was actually losing money on the towing of illegally parked cars. (People living on the east coast of the US think this is impossible, as if it somehow broke the laws of physics.)
Earlier this week, it was reported that the City and County of San Francisco may be losing money on the issuance of parking tickets and collection of fines.
Today, it was reported that one of our candidates for District Attorney is wanted in the State of Nevada. He believes his frequent run-ins with the law and subsequent convictions give him a unique perspective on the criminal justice system. This latest warrant for his arrest, for failure to appear at a hearing related to an alledged assault on a 77 year old woman, was filed on Thursday.
One of his key campaigning planks is to clear up the city's rather large backlog of outstanding arrest warrants. His campaign motto: "Be safer with Shaeffer."
These incidents are neither isolated or idiosyncratic here. This is the status quo. Remind me to tell you guys one day about the palm trees on the Embarcadero.
God, I love this town.
