It is no secret that in Cook County Illinois that dead people vote and have voted. Aware citizens and political cognoscente have also learned that dead people vote in San Francisco City & County as well as other areas of the country.

But the biggest scandal may be that some of the same dead people may be receiving homeless assistance payments made in their name but received by HUD's real estate racketeers such as Gordon Chin.

In the mid nineteen eighties, while Art Agnos was the mayor of San Francisco, among the many corrupt public real estate deals that he fixed was the acquisition of the Cambridge Hotel in San Francisco's Tenderloin district.

This controversial deal benefited Gordon Chin, a HUD subsidized real estate operator, who was also a political appointee to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which was supposed to manage and oversee the HETCH HETCHY Water Delivery and Dam system. This vital natural resource supplies water and power to Northern California and Silicon Valley. It is also vital to the national defense and national security.

Chin, along with other political appointees on that commission neglected their statutory responsibility; instead, Chin was too busy using his HUD connections to acquire a real estate empire subsidized by American taxpayers.

Over a million dollars in publically funded rehab monies were dumped into the Cambridge Hotel; however, there was an illegal deal benefiting Chin, if he saved money on the construction costs. Reportedly, Chin used recycled material but estimated his costs based on 'new materials.' They also used free teen-age Chinese laborers under the guise of "volunteers." They even conned the public by taking photos of the 'volunteers.'

But the biggest racket may be the deal that Chin and Agnos concocted with the US Department of Housing & Urban Development for 'Homeless Assistance Payment' aka HAP payments.

These monthly payments are calculated supposedly on a homeless person's ability to pay something, if they are able. Most aren't. These rent payments

HUD's monthly checks aren't paid to the named beneficiary aka homeless person but to the vendor, in the Cambridge Hotel's case, Gordon Chin. Chin was directly receiving from $23,000 to $26,000 a month in HUD Homeless Payments per month and per hotel-he also obtained two others in the Tenderloin.

Smelling a rat, a mole applied for and surprisingly received a position as the desk clerk at the Cambridge. In that capacity, the clerk checked and signed in every person, who wanted to enter to visit as well as the residents. This procedure was supposed to discourage prostitutes, drug dealers, users and other riffraff, except the HUD real estate racketeers.

The clerk decided to blow the whistle on Chin's racketeer by obtaining and photocopying copies of financial records and related operations in the Rico real estate operation.

An examination of the receipt vouchers disclosed suspicious names such as Robert Pitts, an important name of a recipient that the clerk never saw, knew or heard of, until the clerk examined the secret voucher payments received by Chin.

"Robert Pitts" was an important name because in the late seventies, Pitt was appointed as the first black head of federal region nine, a region consisting of most of the west coast states, which was and is still headquartered in San Francisco. Region nine also includes the 9th federal circuit courts, which are entangeled in other scandals Because of these and other mismanagment scandals, there are bills in Congress, which propose to break up region 9's court system.

When VERITAS USA received copies of the financial documents, the editor showed some of the names to Janice Allen, a longtime critic of HUD's corruption in region nine. Allen also personally knew Robert Pitts.

All informed VERITAS USA that "Pitts died in the early nineteen eighties. unless he resurrected, Chin couldn't be receiving homeless assistance payments for a man dead over twenty years! But that appears to be the case.

This is creditable because the same HUD real estate racketeers, who are involved in vote fraud, are apparently using some of the same death registry lists for other nefarious purposes.

Interestingly, no one in HUD or the San Francisco Mayor's Office has produced a living Pitts or refuted the evidence.

An examination of other names on the homeless assistance vouchers also appears on the California Death Registry List.

Gordon Chin has done well in the HUD real estate racket; documented on this web page is Chin's three story mini mansion at 60 Castro Street in San Francisco's Castro District. Recently a late model Mercedes was parked there. With all of the loot that Chin receives monthly from HUD, he could certainly afford a Mercedes or a Hummer.
