When a city's treasurer calls the institution for which he works a "predatory government", that ought to make people sit up and take notice! Thanks for bringing this important article to our attention Mike.Jose Cisneros's comments are spot-on, and it's good to see an elected official like him getting it right for a change. He has not impressed me previously as someone likely to stand up for freedom, but this initiative is most welcome.
To the SFBARF list – by jailing poor people, taking large sums of money out of their pockets for minor offenses (some of which like sitting on the sidewalk or responsibly using drugs in public are not real crimes at all), and burying them in piles of debt, this predatory government is making it harder for people to afford and obtain housing.
