This time around, London Breed becomes SF mayor and gets to keep the job

Civic Center Plaza is set to be filled with thousands of onlookers Wednesday morning as London Breed is sworn in as San Francisco’s 45th mayor.

After reciting the oath of office, which will be administered by former mayor and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Breed is expected to deliver a speech intended to hearten a city that is in some ways still emerging from the death of Ed Lee in December.

She will take the helm of San Francisco at a crucial juncture, one in which the city is grappling with a protracted homelessness crisis, trash-strewn streets, a severe housing shortage and a widening income gap threatening to price out all but the wealthiest residents.

In response, Breed has pledged to place the city’s quality-of-life issues at the top of her list of priorities, vowing to first address the problem of homeless people suffering from mental health disorders and drug addiction, clear tent camps and cut through the red tape that keeps the city from developing more housing, faster. To that end, she has taken up Lee’s ambitious goal of building at least 5,000 units of housing a year.

I don't know much about her but being a democrat I doubt things will change for the better.

Democrat mayor in a sanctuary city. I'll believe this happens when I see it.

Her first task is to bring in a higher class of people to s**t on San Francisco sidewalks.

The feces of rich liberals will improve the city and make it more welcoming to fellow rich liberals.

A San Francisco mayor is a piece of molten excreent, by definition. I dont know anything about her first hand, but by being mayor .i can deduce she is a hard Marxist with all the evil that comes with it. Nothing will change for the better in Baghdad by the Bay.

From Wiki...

“Born in San Francisco,[3] Breed was raised by her grandmother in Plaza East public housing in the Western Addition neighborhood of the city.[4] Breed later wrote of her childhood in San Francisco: “[F]ive of us liv[ed] on $900 per month. ‘Recycling’ meant drinking out of old mayonnaise jars. Violence was never far away. And once a week, we took Grandma’s pushcart to the community room to collect government-issued groceries.”[5] Her younger sister died of a drug overdose and her brother is in prison.[6]

Breed graduated from Galileo High School. Breed earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Davis in 1997 and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of San Francisco in 2012.[7]”

I read that earlier but I never believe libtard hard luck stories. They like to lie about their childhood so as to seem as though they are “one of the people”.

To that end, she has taken up Lee’s ambitious goal of building at least 5,000 units of housing a year.

She has also promised to “push the envelope” in opening the nation’s first site for the supervised use of injection drugs.

I can’t believe there’s anyone Left in that place who isn’t a bum, junkie, illegal or all three.

My suggestion is an adopt-the-block plan. Good citizens of San Francisco could adopt their block and make sure there is no trash, human waste or homeless on their block. If there are any of these issues, then the City could fine the person who adopted the block! After all someone must be responsible for these issues and it’s not the City..........

Will she clean up the streets or let it be.

Weird name. Thought at first it was a clothing line or a sheep.

Breed? Libtards don’t believe in breeding. Either abort or be a lesbian.
