This is what I reported earlier. Rumor is the charges will be dropped tomorrow morning. If that is true, San Francisco just declared open season on itself.
“SF Black Wall Street, a program that promotes Black entrepreneurship, spent more than $700,000 on two Juneteenth parties — surpassing the $660,000 it had spent on grants for small businesses.” I’ve said for years that SF Black Wall Street is a scam.

The solution to homelessness is a home. We cannot and will not solve this crisis unless cities across the state build more housing — especially for poor and working people.
Due to numerous complaints by Peskin’s neighborhood group The Telegraph Hill Dwellers against the house at 224 Filbert Street, the buyers picked it up for $800,000 — around half of what Trafton paid just two years prior. Who were the new owners of 224 Filbert Street? Peskin’s
For years there’s been speculation about how Aaron Peskin got his house on the Filbert Steps. I tracked down the woman that Peskin and his wife Nancy Shanahan bought it from and she told me the whole story. “I don’t think he’s an honest person,” she said.
