YOU'VE GOTTA BE KID D IN G!" Where are the cops when being are being robbed, beaten, stabbed, and murdered in the Tenderloin? Where??? Residents, merchants, and those who work in the Central City area of the Tenderloin are at the “mercy” of the hundreds of thugs, drug addicts, thieves, and murderers who have descended upon the area from the East Bay which is conducting a hard crack down on the criminal element in those towns and cities. And they come to the Central City, because it is the poorest area of the city and it is the only area where you can get a cheap room, cruddy as it may be. The San Erancisco Police Department’s only response to the drastic rise in violent crime in the Central City, is to say “We don t have enough men and women.” Really? is the response to that typical SFPD excuse for their incompetence. Eor the residents and mer­ chants of the Central City know that the SEPD has a Vice/Morals Squad that has nothing better to do than to harass gays in the Cen­ tral City and in the Polk area. Violent crime is up over two hundred percent over last year and most of these go unreported, for waiting for a police car is like wait­ ing for a turtle caravan to pass.

  • AABA Newsletter
    AABA Newsletter WWW.AABA - BAY.COM DECEMBER 2011 President’s Column By Malcolm Yeung December 2011 San Francisco has its first elected Asian American Mayor. Mayor Edwin Lee, the keynote speaker at the 2011 AABA Installation Dinner, was elected by an overwhelming majority of voters (after ranked choice voting) this past November 8. After being here for over 160 years, Asian Americans have our first elected chief executive. The election of San Francisco’s first Asian American mayor is in and of itself a notable benchmark. But this moment is particularly important when put in the context of the bleak anti-Asian history of San Francisco. San Francisco was, after all, the birth place of the nation’s first organized anti-Asian movement. It was the geographic focal point of the organizing that led to the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. That’s why I cannot overlook the disturbing anti-Asian undertone that blemished this last election period. What began as criticism of Mayor Lee’s association with notable friends, including former Mayor Willie Brown and Chinatown community leader Rose Pak, turned into a concentrated series of attacks on Chinatown community leaders who supported the Mayor. When reviewing press clippings, it is clear that the vast majority of “hits” against Mayor Lee were tied to his relationships in Chinatown. These attacks relied on allegations and racialized innuendo to paint a narrative of Chinatown “pay to play” political corruption that included attacks against me and a number of other credible, long standing Chinatown leaders. The attacks against me suggested that my recent transition from a post at the non-profit Chinatown Community Development Center into the Mayor’s office as an affordable housing advisor was a political payoff.

  • Club Permits
    Club Permits Report of the 1999-2000 San Francisco Civil Grand Jury SUMMARY Many of San Francisco's dance clubs are located in San Francisco's South of Market (SOMA) area, which is policed by the Southern District station of the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD). All clubs operate under permits issued by the SFPD. In recent years, the Southern District station has acted to suspend and/or terminate a number of these club operating permits for a variety of incidents ranging from drug use and dealing inside of clubs to theft of property such as cell phones and excessive noise. The efforts of the Southern District to rein in the clubs became publicly controversial in July of 1999 when the SFPD sought the suspension of the operating permits of the City's largest dance club, Ten 15 Folsom, for negligent management. [1] This report is the result of the Civil Grand Jury's investigation of the SFPD's club permitting process, which has been criticized as being unfair to club owners. Based upon that investigation, the Civil Grand Jury recommends a reconsideration of the permit process to ensure equal treatment of applicants and permit holders, while providing appropriate penalties for clubs that pose public health and safety concerns. BACKGROUND A club owner must have several permits to operate a club: a Place of Entertainment permit, a Dance Hall Keeper permit, a Cabaret permit, and, if the club is to remain open after 2 a.m., an Extended-Hours or After-Hours permit. San Francisco is the only jurisdiction in the Bay Area that issues extended-hours and after-hours entertainment permits.
