On Wednesday night, Mayor Gavin Newsom carved some time out of his busy schedule to speak with the residents of Bernal Heights. Mayor Newsom spoke in a town hall-like setting in the local laundromat, Bernal Bubbles. Due to the small size of the venue, Home San Francisco (Bernal Bubble’s building mate) set up a theater like setting, projected the conversation on the wall and invited everybody in to relax on our couches and chairs to listen to the Mayor answer the questions posed by the local residents. The Mayor spoke about street cleaning in Bernal Heights, pot-holes, home ownership, TIC’s and tenants, affordable housing, public housing, city services and green business initiatives among other things. The discussion was part of the Soap Box Lecture Series which featured the porn star and author Annie Sprinkle last week and was also broadcast at Home San Francisco. We are forging a relationship with Bernal Bubbles to continue bringing you the lecture series while providing a comfortable environment for the folks of the neighborhood to enjoy.

As new lectures are planned, we will post a schedule and remind you to stop by.
