Photo taken by Jamie Whitaker The folks who made their homes in Golden Gate Park may have been displaced after Mayor Newsom read the headlines in the San Francisco Chronicle last week that it represented his biggest failure. However, it would seem this human tragedy just moved to other areas of the City, including Rincon… Keep reading
