remember i'm on your ballot a the second spot thank you november♪ >> hi, folks, i'm george davis. i am the candidate for supervisor district 8, castro upper market, noe valley, glenn park, duboce triangle, castro. so, i'm best known especially internationally ~. in fact, i have people say you should be running in london or new york, not in san francisco. as an advocate for body freedom and civil liberties, since the passage of the nudity ban running for office, this is with the full knowledge of the mayor's office and the san francisco police department. i have been arrested twice,

cited once, and threatened with arrest two other times while making campaign speeches. these are the same speeches on body freedom that i have made for years in this city. august of this year i went to new york city with the full knowledge of the new york police department and the new york mayor's office, i made the same type of body freedom speech in the center of times square, and was picked up by associated press. it went all over the country and it seems to be dropped as an issue in this city, you know, which used to be recognized as a center for progressive liberal cutting edge thought and we have a question of whether it's going away. i'm here to fight it. if you want to join in, you fight. this is not a classical issue for running for supervisor so i'm going to go back to the classical issues which are he

economic security and neighborhood control of property development in this city. we're seeing some trends away from this. you should know that i have the endorsement of the san francisco tenants union, 62% of the household in this district are renters. and of the homeowners and condo owners, most of them are former renters and are very tensetive to tenants rights. i'm for passing of proposition g on this ballot which puts a real estate property tax on people flipping properties within five years to curb ellis act evictions. and ellis act evictions do dishouse a lot of the longer-term residents of the

city, especially seniors. and also the extension of rent control to properties built after 1979. and to make this a more equitable place for long-term residents and make it secure for them. also i'm for the neighborhood control of planning. for example, a couple years ago we had the 8 washington project which would have blocked off the high raise much of telegraph hill. this is a project that was opposed by the telegraph hill dweller, the supervisor of the neighborhood, the neighborhood residents. this is -- this is something we're seeing more and more of. we're seeing the wilshire boulevardization of the upper market district in our own neighborhood and these are

issues that are really not being done with neighborhood impact. there's been some trending away from environmental reviews which we definitely need to have more input from the neighborhoods on these projects. i don't really believe in long speeches, so, for those that are looking for further details in my campaign, including a unsensored video, not safe for work, how many political candidates can say that, video on san francisco before and after the nudity ban, and a video on my speech in new york city. you can go to my campaign site, george davis.-- supervisor.george davis.wood press.com. again, for more details go to supervisor george davis.wood press.com. thank you. ♪ ♪
