When you think about the 600 cop presence: Assuming $50/hr. average for overtime Six hours of work and multiply that by 600 = $180,000 Uh huh... does that mean a .25 increase in sales taxes next year?

Holy shit what a fucking wanker. Take a look at the Home for Halloween website, emphasis added: "So Far, Really Good ... Right on Bevan -- and humble is how all of us who have been working on the "No Halloween in the Castro / Home for Halloween" campaign feel right now -- humbled by the work of our public safety professionals, our incredibly competent (and patient) police officers; humbled by the dozens of Castro business owners, bar-keeps and neighbors who have helped in this effort." Dude. If you were so fucking humble, you would STFU and give back the tax dollars you have wasted.

$40,000? Those flyers had to have been made with Microsoft Word and a cheap HP printer in like 30 minutes. SF: the city that always sleeps.

David Perry & Associates did a terrible campaign. When you make posters made by an absolute amateur, and PSAs that are youtube quality, it makes you wonder where that $40,000 that was paid with MY tax money went to. A cheap looking campaign = Encouragement to go to the event. Oh yeah... I commented on their PSA vids on Youtube and their cheap-o blog site promoting their "stay at home" campaign, and they censored me. Thank you, you taxpayer funded censorship idiots.

Oh, this is good. Mr. Perry is "[a] firm believer in the philosophy that there are only two forces in the world – fear and open communication." We can see which one he chose, or was paid to choose, here.

Who is this David Perry dude? Looks like he is a downtown PR flack with a lot of clients who take SF city money one way or another. Your tax dollars at work, ungrateful louts. Remember that when you go shopping in the Castro, or elsewhere, in future.

I thought they would do a play titled: "How the Grinch (Newsom) stole Halloween" with some good ol' classic Grinch poetry!

100,000 even after everything was cancelled? This is going to be pandemonium.
