Just so this protest isn't riddled with members of the progressive elite -- they always manage to turn the lives of the, ahem, disenfranchised into self-serving photo-ops, don't they? -- those of you who rent and are poor-ish might want to head over to today's Save Rent Control protest. It's happening over at Franklin and Grove Streets at 5:30 p.m. Swing supervisor districts of 1, 3 and 11 -- with supes McGoldrick and Peskin on their way out, so to speak -- rent control is on the line. Again. The suspiciously altruistic IndyBay has more to tell you about today's protest, right here.

Have any of these "landlord and Democratic backed candidates" said they were against rent control? I've never associated Democrats with free markets. This seems a bit of a stretch.
How did they get Woody Allen to hold up that sign?
Impressive...
How is rent control in danger? Even if the Board of Supes were to somehow revoke the current City Ordinance, couldn't the Mayor simply veto such a move? As I recall, Newsom was against Prop. 98 (which would have eliminated rent control statewide).
Or am I missing something?
Karl Rove left some fear mongering tips for the so-called progressives ...
I am supporting Lynn Jefferson for D3 supervisor, and she absolutely supports rent control. District 3 is home to over 80% renters, and she recognises the vitality that comes with having people of more limited means able to stay in San Francisco due to rent control.
i rent in one of the 38 buildings in SF not covered by rent control. so i'll stay home and be ornery, thank you very much.
