Adventures in Liberal Fascism Pt. 6

At the June LPN meeting, during a presentation on "restorative justice" by the Mayor's public policy chief Julian Potter, those who gathered in the bar and grill dining room of the Cathedral Hill Hotel were asked what they felt the "strengths of Lower Polk" were.

Architect and LPN Co-Founder Ron Case's answer was:

A) Location
B) Diversity
C) Business
D) Architecture


The answer is B.

At the November O'Reilly's Holy Grail LPN meeting, Ron complained that the residential buildings of the Tenderloin and Polk Area are 90% rent control. Ron Case was integral to LPN's expulsion of gay hustler bar Rendezvous from Polk Street, collaborating with Dan Diaz (LPV), John Molloy (Polk Merchants Association) and Myles O'Reilly (O'Reilly's) against what they felt were "bad neighbors" and "bad for the neighborhood." Ron Case also profits from his architecture firm's design of the church which was built over the space that the bar occupied.
