Well, by GUM, if the the Sacka-ka says it, it MUST be true. They write the worst about the city so their city looks better. Lol. They are having beaucoup growth and illegals problemos, along with the standard and perfectly natural political problems that come with having so many politicians living/visiting our fair capitol.
No universal health coverage in the city has been proposed by anyone "higher" than a rag editorialist. And s/he would be the bottom of the barrel in matters of truth.
Maybe you should read the Mayor's comments and proposal before saying he did not say that.

Frisco is basically engaging in a game of window dressing, realising that gang violence and values are the centerpost of the entire "rap" music scene, a scene that functions as a cultural guidance counselor for inner and outer city youth, skaters, white bread suburbanite teenies, "relevant" upscale cultural mavens, and black and chicano youth demographics in general, but that it also doesn't play well on the 6 o'clock.
Keep in mind that the LA Crips began much as the Black Panthers, as a trotskyite initiative, the Bloods being an FBI COINTELPRO counterweight to the Crips and the CIA's Air America spreading Golden Triangle skank across the canvas to keep the whole mess manageable.
Rap culture helps keep separatist minority rage at the simmer level, ready for deployment at the drop of an incident. It is also an inchoate vehicle for the creation and maintenance of drug markets, ref. above- low intensity cultural warfare and counterwarfare.
