This just illustrates the fact in the liberal world of San Fransisco politics they feel beggars can be choosers.
I also like the way the Chronicle reporter kept referring to the opponents of the plan as the "progressive" left. No bias there, right? Everyone knows that "progressive" and "left" are mutually exclusive.

Actually, the Chronicle was trying to be accurate. In SF politics, there are only variations of the "left", there is no center or right. This is demonstrated by the fact that Mayor Newsom was the pol who ordered city employees to perform and register gay marriages, causing him to be viewed nationwide as a left winger. Nonetheless, he is on the "right" of most of the Board of Supervisors, and was called everything from a totalitarian to a Nazi when he implemented welfare reforms which directed more money into homeless services (housing, food, etc.) and less money into direct grants (cash payments).

Describing the more extreme left factions of the Board of Supervisors as "progressives" is pretty common, fairly accepted, and well understood in the SF Bay area.

So there is a left to the left of the left, right?

Sure! Three lefts make a right--haven't you ever driven in a city where all the streets are one-way?

(Or maybe it's that three rights make a left when all of the streets are two-way and left turns aren't allowed?)

Ugh. Waco, Texas. I drove four miles to go one block.
