We suppose the subject matter trumps the supervisor, as even a Daly-free meeting about condo conversions descended into shouting and gavel-pounding yesterday. Supervisor Bevan Dufty (pictured at right) had proposed that we give preference in the condo conversion lottery to people who've been applying for years to turn their TICs into condos for several years, noting that with the 200-conversions per year and five-year cap on applications, many people simply never get the chance to convert.

All was going well, until Supervisor Sandoval "forcefully told" the city lotto supervisor to stop advocating for an immediate change in the law. Dufty then raised his voice in defense of the city staff, and chair Sophie Maxwell had to pound the gavel for order. They ended up tabling the whole thing and saying they'd think about it some more. Sandoval says we should be focusing on affordable housing, and Ted Gullickson from the Tenants' Union says people should stop trying to back-door themselves into condo ownership through TICs anyways. The dispute should be on streaming video here soon.

Where was Chris through all this? You know he hates to miss a housing fight! He was probably just resting up his voice for his Daily Show debut -- scheduled for next Tuesday! We're just going to have to miss the KRON 4 news at 11 that night! And oh yeah -- don't forget your SFist Daily Daly Show drinking game cheat sheet!
