[0] 9. Because of long delays and lack of oversight in both public and private building projects, some Noe Valley residents and merchants have grown suspicious of city government. How would you respond to their concerns? Dufty: There were several roadblocks in the Sally Brunn Branch Library renovation. I worked closely with the neighborhood and new City Librarian Luis Herrera to resolve funding shortfalls. We created a bi-monthly neighborhood advisory committee meeting with the contractor L&C Construction. We just initiated meetings with Trico Construction on Upper Noe Rec Center. This is ensuring that the neighborhood remains informed and that we deliver great projects. I am committed to reforming the City's construction process. Rosenthal: The building inspection and permitting processes are a mess, and open to manipulation by permit expediters. I would like to see a management audit of the Department of Building Inspection. I would work to limit permit expediting. As an attorney with experience in development projects, I will keep close watch over the projects in District 8 neighborhoods to make sure that they are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Starchild: I would treat their concerns seriously, say sympathetic things, and sound knowledgeable and practical. Meanwhile, I would continue to support the kind of legislation that has spawned a bloated city government with sweeping powers to interfere in people's lives and lacking adequate transparency or accountability, resulting in building project snafus and other unintended consequences. Oh wait, never mind -- that's my opponents. I'd sound less electable, but would be less a part of the problem.
