OUR "SENSIBLE SUGGESTION" AWARD GOES TO...
Submitted by Libertarian Par... on 12 March 2014 - 7:43pm We have not given out our two Libertarian Party of San Francisco awards for a while. We find it difficult to pick one recipient for our “Nanny of the Month” award among so many candidates. Our “Sensible Suggestion” award is rare. The last one went to Supervisor Mark Farrell in December 2012 for his support of entrepreneurial food truck vendors.
HOUSING CRISIS AND INCOME INEQUALITY: THE CATCHPHRASES OF THE DAY

SAN FRANCISCO PLANNING -- TOWARDS WHAT?
Submitted by Libertarian Par... on 8 December 2013 - 8:34am Although City planners have generated a great many ideas and goals within the past three years or so, they do not seem to be developing a cohesive and credible plan. One day they speak of the urgent need for affordable housing, below-market-rate units, or safeguards against evictions. The next day they promote high-end ecodistricts, transfer of capitalization and control of public housing to the private sector, and high density areas catering to higher-income workers.
UPDATE ON PLAN BAY AREA: YOU CAN'T AVOID NEWTON'S THIRD LAW OF MOTION
Submitted by Libertarian Par... on 27 November 2013 - 10:00am Either the designers of the drastic regional upheaval, commonly known as “Plan Bay Area” or “One Bay Area,” thought they could work around the fact that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, of they did not connect this physical law with human behavior, as most common-sense folks do.

THE NOVEMBER 5TH ELECTIONS AND OUR LIBERTARIAN AIMCAMPOS EXPLORES EXPANSION OF EMINENT DOMAIN
Submitted by Libertarian Par... on 10 September 2013 - 1:18am San Francisco Supervisor David Campos introduced a resolution on September 9th, urging the Board of Supervisors to explore the feasibility of the City using eminent domain to seize underwater properties from lenders. Ostensibly, such a plan is designed to keep homeowners in their underwater homes when lenders do not readily cooperate in reducing mortgage principal to match what borrowers can pay. In reality, this resolution fits right in with the City’s relentless march toward “public” (as opposed to private) control of real property, by totally distorting the capital market via (1) promotion of home ownership regardless of borrowers ability to pay, (2) rent control, (3) passage of legislation such as the Housing Trust.
