SFist interviews Rob Black, candidate for D6 Supervisor

As they have been doing, SFist is interviewing candidates for District 6 supervisor... Those that will run against Chris Daly in November. Today's interview is with Rob Black, my personal favorite for the election,

What do you think are the biggest problems facing District 6 today?
Straight up – quality of life. From all corners of the district, residents tell me that District 6 is dirty and dangerous. District 6 has less open space and recreation and park facilities than any other district in the City. The City is planning on building about 10,000 new units of housing in the District, and those units need to come with more green space. Lots more.

And while we’re on the topic of housing, District 6 needs more middle income housing units. My district has a housing supply shaped like an hour glass – lots of housing at the high and the low ends, but nothing in the middle. To keep District 6 healthy and vibrant, it needs more housing that is affordable to middle and lower middle income folks. [more...]

There's actually a fundraiser for Rob tonight at Le Duplex (1525 Mission Street) from 7pm till 9pm, just prior to the San Francisco Magazine Awards After-Party. Entry fee is $50-$75 and all proceeds go to Rob's campaign. Food and drink will be served during the fundraiser. Come out and meet Rob, and enjoy a bit of a party...

He's got a great chance of defeating Daly in November. Look him up and find out more about him. I think that you'll agree (unless you're a rabid Daly supporter) that this is the guy who will lead D6 into better times for people at all income levels, especially the under-served middle class.
