The Hayes Valley Community Center that never was.
For 15+ years, a publicly funded “community” asset has been controlled by Collective Impact — never truly open or accessible to the broader neighborhood.
Now, with Collective Impact exiting amid serious legal scrutiny and scandal (including their deep ties to the Dream Keeper Initiative and how those public funds were handled), the city is already lining up another nonprofit operator instead of finally resetting the space for actual community use.
Hayes Valley deserves a real community center — not another insider arrangement.

Joel Engardio is at tonight's Sunset Night Market. He told Great Highway Compromise volunteers, aka my D4 neighbors, that they don't belong there.
Joel Engardio told them to leave the Sunset Night Market.
And yes, his buddy Scott Wiener is also at the Sunset Night Market.
Most small businesses don't get to ignore rules for two years.
They pay rent.
They pay taxes.
They pay insurance.
They maintain licenses.
They comply or face consequences.
Yet on the Hayes Street closure, documented violations have been allowed to continue year after year with no meaningful response.
That's not enforcement.
That's favoritism.

@Scott_Wiener Nothing shocking there. Catering to the minority who like to make life more difficult for the rest of us. Another reason why @MHurabiell gets my vote.
Partially posted before,
PLEASE WATCH!! THIS HARM REDUCTION LADY PROMOTES ALWAYS GO TO THE SAME DEALER. Well a Hour after she gave this man a Harm Reduction kit. She came outside to identify his body. After he overdose and died from the kit that she gave him.
Scott Wiener runs on Dirty Politics.
If you criticize his legislative record, @Scott_Wiener will unleash his minions to harass city hall and call you a homophobe.
We deserve better from our Representatives.
For years we tried to engage in good faith on Hayes Street. Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped feeling like constituents — and started feeling like we simply didn’t matter.
Permit regulations have not been enforced. Residents who raised concerns were increasingly treated as impediments. And in at least one case, participation triggered legal action that created a chilling effect still being felt.
This is no longer just about one block.
Bilal, in our view, has failed Hayes Valley.

🚨 Scott Wiener jokes that he “forgets” the laws he’s passed. That's unfortunate.
So we did some research.
✔️SB57: unlimited 'safe' injection sites in SF. Even Gavin Newsom opposed.
✔️SB357: legalized loitering. Human trafficking spiraling “out of control” - ABC7
✔️SB 357: teen trafficking havens - NYT Magazine
📺 Watch. Remember. Decide for yourself.
🎥April 29 2026 location 16th & Mission This is my conclusion from last night Open Drug & Booster Market
In 2023 in 2024 a lot of Departments Stores and Food Stores were closed down in San Francisco up under the watch of Mayor London Breed in this left San Francisco downtown empty. Left progressive groups DSA members. Praise joyfully when they seen the community Whole Foods store shut down, they blamed it on Store prices. They celebrated that they closed every time a business shuttered, the left progressive group cheered. Now we have a new Mayor, Daniel Lurie and since he has been in office, the drug market still is flushing. In this video, the remaining stores are still being attacked Whole Foods Safeway IKEA etc. And people are still coming here to buy things because the neighborhood news gossip paper.@MLNow promote all of the stolen goods as a swap meet come on down

16th Mission Open Drug & Booster Market
PART 1 Of 3 Videos
In this video, you will see and hear how people get their stolen items from out of the department store you will hear the prices that they sell the items for and you will see where do they go after they get their money from selling their stolen items. Come back for part two and three part three is gonna be shocking.
Look at this.
A vendor sets up a full clothing shop in the middle of the closed 400 block of Hayes Street — paying zero rent, zero overhead, zero taxes.
Meanwhile, the legitimate storefront businesses on this corridor pay full high rent every month while their customers are blocked by tents, scooters, and chaos.
This is what zero enforcement of the SFMTA permit looks like: real local businesses get squeezed, and anyone can exploit the loophole.
This isn’t a “shared space.” It’s a rigged game.

I'll be voting for Marie in the primary fyi, and if you live in SF I encourage you to do the same. Moderates should be moderate, and when they forget they should be reminded our vote is never guaranteed simply bc they're not as bad as the season's craziest communist.
Here we go: $48mil available for grants, in up to 500k chunks. Who gets to be the sieve for applications proceeding? 🚴🏻♂️
