San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee dead at 65
MSN/ SF Gate ^ | December 12. 2017

Posted on 12/12/2017 4:50:04 PM PST by SMGFan

Mayor Ed Lee, the city’s first Asian American mayor and the man who presided over San Francisco’s rise to the top of the tech world, died early Tuesday morning after suffering a heart attack. He was 65.

Lee collapsed while shopping at the Safeway grocery store on Monterey Boulevard near his Glen Park home at about 10:30 p.m. Monday and was taken by ambulance to San Francisco General Hospital. He died at 1:11 a.m., surrounded by his friends and family.

The mayor’s office released a brief statement early Tuesday morning confirming Lee’s death, stating in part: “Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Anita, his two daughters, Brianna and Tania, and his family.” News of Lee’s unexpected death shocked and saddened city officials, many of whom respected the moderate mayor even when he was their political adversary.

Third generation Californian here. Lived in the Bay Area from 1992 to 2014. Moved to AZ in 2014.

I stopped caring about the politics in 'The City' in 1993. But I do occasionaly look in on it; fascinated, like slowing down to look at a car wreck.

SF is a cesspool and proud of it.

As to Mr. Lee - My sympathy goes to his family.

Whoever the next mayor is, expect (him/her/it) to be another far left extremist.

Early guess to possible successor: Paul Pelosi Jr.

But then you have to balance which is worse: gloating or a scolding.

Condolences to Ed Lee’s family. He wasn’t flashy like
Willie Brown, or the more recent mayor Gavin Newsom.
But when it comes down to it he was a shithead libtard
who spent 65 years breathing wasted air. By the time
I click post this guy will be erased from my memory
banks.

Please read post #14, then read post #28 and post #29
again. You might even check to see my location along
the way. When you are done please let me know why
there are people so ignorant that they will jump down
the throat of another before doing the slightest bit
of research.

No it isn’t. Post #28 sets up post #29 and you know it
but you got caught being worse than ignorant. It is
best if you just accept your lumps and move on.
