According to a new poll of 500 residents, everyone is feelin' alright about the city. Or at least the 56% of them who said that the city is "on the right track." That's better than the 33% who said that in 2003. The poll says it comes from people's confidence in the economy (41%) and the performance of the Gavster, who is still clocking in at a little over 70% approval ratings. Boy, considering Gavin's past few months, he's gotta be feeling pretty good about things. Like, he's gotta be thinking that at this point he could get caught having coke-infueled threesomes with Japanese midgets and still have high approval ratings.
Not that we'd want to give him any ideas, however.
In the not-so-happy side are homelessness, crime, and housing, all of which were listed as concerns. According to the pollsters crime wasn't even listed by many people in 2003, but is now listed as the top concern by 24%. Homelessness was listed as a concern by 41% of the residents, housing was at 25%, and public education was at 24%.
Also, according to the survey:
-63 percent of San Franciscans want the San Francisco 49ers to remain in San Francisco
-Fifty-one percent are for a public-private wireless Internet network, 19% want a city-run WiFi network.

Thats down from 80%
MMMMMM......coke infueled threesomes with Japanese midgets....would you settle for Gavin wearing a pink komono and a psycho Chinese guy with a purple glove? Now that one really happened.
The poll also showed that a majority of San Franciscans DON'T want term limits extended to three terms for supervisors. Very bad news for the proponents of this very bad idea.
Goes to show you thye power of the gel.
Bring it on. I can't wait to see the term limit extension go down in flames.
I wonder who the surveyed? Sure didn't ask me.
