While a growing number of Americans are losing their jobs, apartments, homes and shelter, censored in the press for over twenty years are blatant examples of the unprecedented housing graft and corruption. HUD has become the (un)affordable housing racket in San Francisco and, in fact, northern California.
But among the public officials and public employees, who haven't lost their jobs or bogus profitable non profit HUD funded community economic development funds, is the great James D Jefferson.
James D. Jefferson: 1339 - 41 Pierce Street in San Francisco
During the middle of the 1980s James D. Jefferson, Mary Rodgers, Julianne Malveaux, and other political and media flotsam, set up a sham community economic development corporation called "Urban Economic Development Corporation."
For several years, this sham operation received from $200,000 - $250,000 annually to ostensibly help poor African Americans lift themselves up the economic ladder by their own bootstraps.
But typically with this sham economic development corporations, the operators not only rip off the bootstraps, but heist the ladder as well! In San Francisco increasingly gentrified black redevelopment areas, such as the Fillmore, Urban Economic Development Corporation ("UDEC") is better known as " Getting mine while the letting's good."
Both the critics of these HUD programs, as well as the greedy and incompetent recipients, are aware that an estimated 60 billion dollars is unaccounted for. One reason for the huge amount is that HUD has funded these programs since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society gambit.
James D Jefferson was not only a board member of UDEC, but was appointed by (then) Mayor Art Agnos as a member of the San Francisco Fire Commission. During the racial and gender integration controversies involving the San Francisco Fire Department, Federal Judge Marilyn Patel appointed Jefferson as the court monitor to oversee the court ordered reform of the hiring policies of the San Francisco Fire Department. There was at least one problem with Judge Patel's order.
Jefferson's judicial appointment automatically disqualified him from being a member of a HUD-funded poverty funds recipient group. Also, As a federal court-appointed monitor over the San Francisco Fire Department's affirmative action reforms, Jefferson secretly received a house at 1339-41 Pierce Street (San Francisco) in exchange for $59,000.(Document 1) (Document 2) In giving Jefferson a house at this price, which was ridiculously below the going current market rate for similar houses, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and Jefferson participated in a gross conflict of interest. Jefferson, who still owns the house, has never responded to inquiries regarding his, and the he San Francisco Redevelopment Agency's, real estate transaction.
Illustrated in this example is Jefferson's gentrification of his ill-gotten gains. Jefferson's critics think that 1339-41 Pierce Street house in San Francisco is the smoke from a fire that can't be covered-up or extinguished.

Others may know him as the ex-husband of actress Sharon Stone. Yet others may remember Philip Bronstein as the San Francisco Chronicle editor who took his foot out of his mouth long enough to put it into the bacteria-festooned mouth of a Komodo Dragon (see below).
There are dozens of illegal deals involving millions of public dollars that have illegally benefited political flotsam such as Mary Rodgers, James D Jefferson, Christine Stoller and Julian Fitzhugh. Fitzhugh is the HUD official responsible for public housing in the Federal Region Number 9 which is headquartered at 450 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco.Illustrated here are a few appetizers -caviar--in the Tenderloin of Graft, the non taxpaying racket known as Affordable Housing - all in San Francisco:
And there are many more documented examples of this RICO Housing Racket (a/k/a Affordable Housing.)
