LENNAR failes to hoodwink San Franciscans with its faulty, fast tracked Draft, EIR.

by Francisco Da Costa
LENNAR is a Rogue Developer that will fail on Treasure Island, at Hunters Point, and at Candlestick Point. Behind this nonsense of fast tracking the Draft, EIR is Willie L. Brown Jr., Carmen Policy, the Pacific Heights Mafia, Mayor Gavin Newsom, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and a host of very corrupt people that can be bought. Among them many Poverty Pimp Pastors that are into making money and have forgotten to look after the souls - they should care for.

LENNAR, a rogue developer that has with intent poisoned our children as a result of the its dubious actions on Parcel A and Phase One of its operations on Hunters Point. LENNAR - thought it could HOODWINK San Franciscans the second time around - but it failed miserably.

Phase One Environmental Impact Report was approved by some members of the sitting SF Planning Commission and one of them for sure was William L Lee. William L. Lee should be ashamed of himself when he fully does NOT understand that ninety five percent of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard is landfill and prone of Liquefaction and severe Flooding.

The entire water-shed of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard is polluted and cannot be touched.
Does William L. Lee know this? If so he has to read the Final Historical Radiological Report on the Shipyard - that can be found in the SF Main Library.

The U.S. Navy has jurisdiction over Parcels B, C, D, E, F, G, and UC1 and other parcels carved out by the U.S. Navy to carry out its operations that it has failed for the last 15 years.

The U.S. Navy has been spending millions of dollars for clean up but not doing any substantial work. Years ago one company International Technologies (IT) wasted $300 million - money that should have gone towards the clean up. Then declared - bankruptcy.

Currently, Tetra Tech is making millions - over charging the U.S. Government but doing its job as a snail's pace. The Hunters Point Naval Shipyard is a Superfund Site and hence must be studied by qualified scientists not some idiots who are in it - for the money.

One can easily deduce from the idiotic remarks of William Lee who sits on the SF Planning Commission playing down the toxicity and the very adverse impacts from the various types of radiological toxic waste - buried on Parcel E and E2 but really - all over the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. He is on the take and soon we will find out the source.

Large animals that were experimented upon with radiation were simply buried anywhere at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - when no one was looking and mostly after most folks went home in the evening. Many of these dubious activities were carried by Navy Employees - who were paid extra to fulfill the evil deeds of those in power.

The U.S. Navy was so bold that it threw thousands of barrels of atomic waste by the Farallones Islands just outside the Golden Gate Bridge and which is controlled by the National Park Service - where I worked and have first hand knowledge. Shame on the U.S. Navy - wonder why so many women in Marin County have cancer. Think about it the ebb and flow and where the waters come from during high tide!

William L. Lee purports to have educated himself but his questions linked to the Superfund Site and related issues betray his ignorance and what is more his arrogance.

At one time this lackey held the post of Chief Administrative Officer at City Hall. In 1996 - Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr. changed the City Character and saw the the CAO had his wings clipped and brought that department under the wings of the Executive Branch.

The present CAO is Edwin Lee no relation to William L. Lee. Today, William L. Lee better known as Bill Lee has an office at SF Airport - and takes care of the Pacific Rim and related issues - most of it dubious in nature. Today, Bill Lee has lost respect and judging from the many telephone calls and e-mails I got about his stupid questions and comments - the man must resign from the SF Planning Commission.

In fact Willie L. Brown Jr. put him there in defiance when Willie L.Brown Jr. did not agree with the SF Board of Supervisors and the selection of the then SF Planning Commission. Well, in all the time William Lee has been a SF Planning Commissioner he has been a lackey, a man without a spine - a reed blowing in the wind. That is the legacy he will leave when he fades away.

Some hornet seems to have bit Christinina R. Olague ass - some of her remarks were uncalled for at the last SF Planning Commission meeting. The Public at Large have a right to make comments during the Public Comment Period. And it is not for you, Christiana Olague - to reply to those comments - whether you like them or not. Read the Brown Rules. If you do not want to be a SF Planning Commissioner - leave the position. I surely did not like the comments you made - because you really did not fully comprehend what I said - with your bitchy attitude written all over our face on that day of the meeting.

As a Progressive and belonging the drab Green Party most of you GREENS just talk but there is really no action. The Green Party has failed the constituents of the Bayview Hunters Point even though we have gone out of our way to - be good stake holders and partners.

Ross Mirkarimi and others still baffles us with their voting pattern and we cannot be duped by drab words and no concrete actions. Others give lip service with the exception of Eric Brooks who seems to be interested in our community in recent years.

The recently concluded Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change will adversely impact most of the basic concepts studied by the fake - Draft, Environmental Impact Report (EIR) linked to Candlestick Point and Hunters Point Naval Shipyard - parcels B, C, D, E, E2, F, G, UC1 and others.
This is what LENNAR and the SF Planning Commission and Planning Department calls its Phase II of its dubious development.

For the lay person the parcels I have mentioned above come under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Navy. It does NOT come under the jurisdiction of the City and County of San Francisco.

In the year 2000 over 87% - yes, 87% of the voters of San Francisco - mandated the entire Hunters Point Naval Shipyard be cleaned to the Highest Standards - know to many of us as Residential Standards.

The U.S. Navy has failed to do that and has plans to cap the entire area and make no bones about it. Now, Lennar, the SF. Planning Commission, the SF Redevelopment Agency (SFRA), Senator Dianne Feinstien, the Pacific Heights Mafia, Carmen Policy, Willie L. Brown Jr., Richard Blum, Richard Swig (Chair of the SFRA) all have a plan. Get control of the land and use - " Land Banking " to make money.

Of course they are aiding and abetting LENNAR to be the conduit. We, in the know, know what is happening. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is keeping a close count and so is the White House and President Barrack Hussein Obama.

The Draft, EIR linked to this fake Phase One on Candlestick Point and the Shipyard - fails totally to deal with the Transportation Adverse Impacts from the proposed 10,500 homes and an influx of over 30,000 new residents.

Right now Public Transportation to Executive Park, Candlestick Point and Hunters Point Naval Shipyard to all areas is non-existent. Most people do not know that.

The Precautionary Principle has been cast aside. There are serious problems that affect all life - all the work must be STOPPED and the Precautionary Principle that is law and on the books of the City and County of San Francisco - exercised.

I hope Jarold Blumenfeld will do that when he becomes the Director of the Environmental Protection Agency in January 2010.

On 3rd Street in the Bayview leading to Visition Valley - a Light Rail has been built costing over $700 million from 4th and King to the middle of Visitation Valley, comes to a dead-end - in the middle of no where. If this major artery of Light Rail is not a disgrace to sound planning of transportation - I just do not know what is.

Most folks do not know a thing about this Light Rail that cost over $700 million.

Originally, it was planned for the Geary Blvd in the Avenues.

But, then again Mayor Willie L.Brown Jr. bought it to Third Street and screwed it up. Hundreds of business failed on Third Street. While a similar project on Market Street compensated Market Street Business for their loss of business during the construction of the Light Rail on Marker Street - no such amenities were afforded to the businesses on Third Street. I know what happened because I was there and watching it all.

Four years ago some idiots came to my office on Third Street talking about a Causeway from Highway 101 over Yosemite Slough all the way to Cargo Way. In those plans I saw - how these crooks planned to take over private property. I wrote about it and no one was paying attention.

Saul Bloom aka Donald Saleman had made millions of dollars from grants giving to him by the City and County of San Francisco, the Department of Environment, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. He has been doing this since 2000 actively.

This man who has his finger in every pie be it the SF Presidio of San Francisco, Treasure Island, Hunters Point, even abroad - pretends to address toxicity and related issues as a result of operations at Military Bases - but, bottom line make money for himself and Arc Ecology.

Some where along the line having received large sums in the millions - Saul Bloom has had a falling with the LENNAR plans and with SF Redevelopment Agency.

Then suddenly he decided to view the Conceptual Plan from another angle - because of the bridge over Yosemite Slough that would CLASH with his conservation plans - from which he has received millions to create some wet lands and has on going contractual obligations that he does not want to fail.

I know from tests that the Yosemite Slough is saturated with PCBs and other very toxic radiological elements - bordering an area that spews thousands of tons of Methane Gas and other volatile elements adversely affecting all life. So, what is this nonsense comparing this area in question with Crissy Field?

Saul Bloom threw in the monkey wrench and gave most of those in charge of the Draft, EIR linked to Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and Candlestick Point the Johnson Wrench - a shaft they will forever, remember.

Well, the man has the money from the various agencies he got the money from - and has now used this money - to create a turmoil that he controls. One thing going for this man, Saul Bloom who does not live in the community but makes all his money in the community - is that he has the inside scoop. Collected sufficient documentation to black mail anyone he wants at a moment's notice to screw over.

The above is stated because when you black mail the community - Karma is ever present and so - this time around most of those jerks that put their faith in Saul Bloom - got shafted.

I know having worked for the Department of Defense (DoD) the many in the DoD will not have anything to do with Saul Bloom. Contact Keith Forman and Douglas Gilkey who have a lot to do with Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and find out.

Saul Bloom has not been factored in the Draft, EIR but if you look at the document that the many agencies cooperated with - working closely with Arc Ecology the facade organization that Saul Bloom heads and controls - Arc Ecology has screwed this City and County of San Francisco and is laughing all the way to the bank.

Just like Hunters Point really does not come under the jurisdiction of the City and County of San Francisco so does NOT Alice Griffith and the 23 acres of State Park land that Saul Bloom helped Senator Milton Marks push with help from the Sierra Club.

This land is State Land has not been signed over, Alice Griffith is Federal Property that cannot be sold but leased, and there are other private properties that the fools pretend they own - but will have to pay Market Value when the time come - if ever.

The above was created by abusing the Public Trust Act and Burton Act. Public Trust Land belongs to all Californians and Senator Mark Leno has failed decency and will suffer for it. Mark Leno single handedly helped Saul Bloom from Arc Ecology and Art Feinstein from the Sierra Club. Also, the Friends of Candlestick Park that stand to get money from this deal.

LENNAR has used its hundreds of lawyers to hoodwink the City and County of San Francisco. LENNAR specializes in suing folks using high powered lawyers and milking innocent folks and killing them off.

Shame on this City and County for not understanding how LENNAR declared bankruptcy at Mare Island. Promised to build 10,000 homes and after ten years - declared bankruptcy. With this one act - LENNAR brought the City of Vallejo down to which Mare Island is tied. The same will happen to San Francisco.

The Copenhagen Summit of Climate Change has changed the base-line factors linked to the rise of Oceans, the rise of temperatures, the many other factors that affect the oceans, the atmosphere, winds, clouds, dust movements, affects on forests, and all forms of living beings like birds, animals, sea life, and of course human beings.

An Environmental Impact Report devoid of the latest changes, information, and base- line linked to Climate Change and the many factors I have specified above - is a failure to any decent standards and adversely affects the lives of millions of human beings- linked to this Phase II fake development in and around Candlestick Point and Hunters Point.

This is not the time to trust LENNAR and fast track anything.

This is the time to rid the present SF Planning Commissioners who have NO clue what so ever about the many dangerous elements they are adjudicating upon - and receiving false information rather then empirical data from qualified sources.

The City and County of San Francisco is broke. The SF Planning Department is broke.

The least the SF Planning Commission and the SF Planning Department can do is hold the fort and use empirical data and adjudicate the issues of behalf of the constituents of San Francisco - some 850,000 plus.

Listen to those that know - and do not take our Public Comments to heart and act as if we are targeting you all - some of you are intelligent but other prefer to be sell outs - and we do have sell outs on the SF Planning Commission for sure.

Behind, the scene is Dean Macris creating all the turmoil to keep the machinations and ploys of Willie L. Brown Jr, Carmen Policy, Dianne Feinstein alive - well, your days are numbered - you have been exposed.

LENNAR, has failed to hoodwink all San Franciscans with its ploys and machination - fast tracking this faulty Draft, EIR linked to Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point.
