"Gus, I suggest you build up 20 feet."
The Chronicle — Gavin Newsom used a “clerical error” to ensure that one of his major political donors would get a chance to build a taller condominium project than is otherwise allowed. WTF?!
The clerical error which boosted the allowed building height of a parcel on San Francisco’s Mission Street to 85 feet among many blocks that are limited to a uniform 65 feet, stands to benefit restaurateur Gus Murad.
Over the past several years, Murad has contributed thousands of dollars to Newsom campaigns and ballot measures.
“And here we are with four votes, a clerical error, and a mayor who has gained politically from the property owner,” Supervisor Chris Daly said. “And that’s how it’s going to go down. This is disgusting.”
Just another lovely day in pay-to-play land — a.k.a. Gavin Newsom’s City Hall.
