Allow drug dealers and the homeless to take over a BART station?

A letter to the editor in today's Chronicle:

Reality check

Wait a minute, what? BART’s board director Bevan Dufty fears they may have to close down the Civic Center BART station because of the intimidating homeless, drug dealers and grime? 

When will someone be announcing that the entire city of San Francisco will be closed down due to the exact same reasons? That reality should be a somewhat larger worry for the arts groups here, indeed.

Rob's comment:
That isn't surprising. As District 8 Supervisor, Dufty had a history of waffling and questionable judgment. I thought he was just waffling when UC was scheming to rip off the extension property on lower Haight Street. But it turned out that Dufty was negotiating behind the scenes to reserve some of the planned housing units for gay seniors.

Dufty helped the Bicycle Coalition take away parking for small businesses on Market Street.

Supervisor Dufty, along with "progressive" supervisors, voted for a resolution calling for a new trial for cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal.

When he was Mayor Lee's guy on homelessness, he thought that giving panhandlers puppies would somehow mitigate the problem.

I can only assume things won't change at the ballot box in electing our board of supervisors because the the transient nature of our voters. It seems most are here for a few years and figure that SF has always been this way, and beside they don't seem to understand how worthless the current progs on the BOS truly are!
