VOTE! Off year elections is when the conservatives try to pass their draconian laws, because only they vote in non-presidential years.*
It is especially important to vote in San Francisco. Using the power of the internet to turn homes into hotels adversely impacts residents of popular tourist cities. As demonstrated by the former Castro Halloween street party, too many people can destroy the fun.
As we found during the mortgage crises, the internet can quickly turn a small social problem into a HUGE PROBLEM.
NOTHING YOU DO FOR YOUR CITY AND COUNTRY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN VOTING!
I actually have a friend running for office later this month. Antipas J. Konou is running for Council from the Jeirok area of the Majuro Electoral District of the Marshall Islands. I wish him luck!
* In California, you can check with your county registrar to see if there is an election in your area. The League of Women Voters also keeps track of elections. I believe that all citizens have a duty to vote. No candidate is going to personally please everyone. I vote for the least bad. Otherwise, the truly bad can end up telling me what to do.
