in fact, specifically, the fillmore area, where ethnic cleansing took place where you moved black people from their neighborhood, about 60 square blocks, and 60% was chinese and black people that owned property in that area. so in order for this grant to be fair, it should be applied to all neighborhoods in the city of san francisco, not just the mission district. we have a homeless problem, and by the same response to people that's out on the streets are very low and low-income bracket people, such as people that's got social security, disabilities, and our veterans. by starting that low-income requirement as the lowest income, if you price fix that range above their monthly and yearly income, they'll still remain out on the street. it's not fair to them, and we have an inclusionary law that's not being applied where everybody in the city is included in the inclusion of housing opportunity, so that should be changed throughout the whole city and county of san francisco: bayview, fillmore, mission district, every jurisdiction of san francisco, this bond should be applied to, not just the

but what about fillmore, zachary taylor, fillmore? that's because the american constitution was not written with the presidency as the center of congress. the presidency is described only in article 2 of the constitution. the longest article is about congress. it was assumed and intended that american politics would be driven by the representatives of the people. the members of the house of representatives and the senate. and the president was the chief executive, his job was to execute the will of the congress. presidents were not expected to take the initiative, not expected to drive politics, or be the centerpiece of american politics. that is what was fully intended. so the fact that it is hard to remember presidents from the 19th century is what james madison and the members of the constitution said that's what they were aiming for. they want those people to be unmemorable because the stars of the show would be members of congress. so i decided to look in on the three most noted members of congress during the first half of the 19

his successor was millard fillmore. throughout the 19th century, the mexican war was deplored, and james polk was vilified for it. historians of that era and many of the generals during the civil war had been junior officers in that war, and they thought it was morally reprehensible, the whole affair. but polk's reputation improved in the early 20th century with the rise of american nationalism. today historians rate james polk as one of the ten best u.s. presidents. yet he remains one of the most obscure. as harry truman observed in ranking polk with george washington, thomas jefferson and andrew jackson, "he said exactly what he was going to do, and he did it." and this is true. polk, in fact, accomplished everything he promised when he took office. he lowered the tariff, established an independent treasury, he annexed texas, and he took possession of oregon. and most importantly, he achieved his fifth secret goal, and that was to obtain california. it all turned out well for the united states, but not for mexico; ban
