Ski-Jump on Pacific Heights: City for Sale

Supervisor Alioto-Pier on the crackpot scheme to put a ski-jump on Fillmore St: "You can't do an event in San Francisco and not discuss it with the neighborhood groups, and not abide by the conditions of the permits. San Francisco is not for sale." ("Ski Jump Event..." SF Chronicle, Rachel Gordon, Aug. 25, 2005)

Actually, the city is for sale. You just have to make the right offer in the right district. If the ski-jump promoters take their proposal to Chris "Rincon Hill" Daly in District 6, maybe they can work something out, since Supervisor Daly just auctioned off a big chunk of his district to developers for $58 million. California Street in the Nob Hill area would make an excellent ski jump.
