The San Francisco Chronicle reports on the extortionist and anti-growth
policy known as "discretionary
review"<http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/11/02/BA1V1AD15C.DTL>
:
*"San Francisco is the only large city in the state that has discretionary
review," Planning Director John Rahaim said. *
*"There has been more than one instance we've heard of where it has been
used by neighbors to get money from a person or project sponsor," Rahaim
said. " 'Give me $20,000, and I won't file a DR' kind of thing."*
Truly, only in San Francisco.
