SFist Tonight
Hey, remember way back in January, when Ross Mirkarimi declared that the housing authority had one year to get its act together or the city would take it over? Our guess is that he's going to have to introduce that legislation, because the SFHA is all over the news lately. If it's not Greg Fortner refusing Gavin's mass resignation request, it's the housing commission getting together about as often as some supervisors sleep at their houses!
Lots of people think that the SFHA is pretty much a mess, but it remains to be seen what's going to happen. We're kind of hoping to see what happens if Mirakarimi makes good on his promise from earlier in the year. The way things are going, he might have to.

I accept your resignation, Mr. Fortner.
I know you will miss that $210,000 annual salary, but I am tired of calling the police on the Hope VI Hayes Valley South Housing Development(bordering Rose Alley/Webster/Haight St/Buchanan/Page) which functions as a giant drive-up crackhouse.
Many is the time I have considered filing a civil lawsuit against the SFHA but with your departure that may be unnecessary.
Sorry you weren't up to the job.
Thanks.
A Lower Haight Resident.
