Editor,

Look at South San Francisco and decide whether you want your quality of life and a home you invested your hard-earned money in to becoming a four- to 10-housing unit on a neighboring one parcel of land.

Public officials who agree with your point of view are good and those you disagree with are bad -- got it. Property owners who want flexibility in what they build on land they live on are bad as are renters and anyone else who disagrees with them on living in South City. Saying a candidate is in the pocket "funders, the construction and real estate companies" without pointing to specific donations, all in the public record, makes as much sense as JFK rising from the dead in a DC pizza parlor. How much is the candidate you favor taking from the California Real Estate Association or the Association of California Apartment Owners?

DavidP - isn’t part of the criteria for deciding whether to vote for someone is to see who agrees with your point of view and “are good” vs. those you disagree with you and “are bad”? As for your funding complaint, why does Ms. Marcopulos, or anyone else, need to detail specific donations when the information is readily available? If you doubt Ms. Marcopulos, go to FollowTheMoney.org and search for donations to your candidate of interest.

Via FollowTheMoney.org, for Mr. Mullin as a candidate, General Trade Unions contributed over $804,000 and Real Estate over $121,000. Two of the top six industries donating to Mr. Mullin. For Mr. Wiener as a candidate, Real Estate donations over $372,000 and General Trade Unions over $340,000. Two of the top three industries donating to Mr. Wiener. What can we conclude? Ms. Marcopulos appears to be right on the money regarding Wiener and his lackeys doing the bidding of construction and real estate companies. Follow the money!
