At least, this Craigslist ad suggests you can. It doesn’t sound like Mayor Ed Lee wrote it himself:
For the past several years the Department of Recreation and Parks has been recognized as leader in the development of innovative programs to prevent the public from enjoying either recreation or parks. However, in a time of increasing budget shortfalls and political uncertainty, new directions must be found to preserve our civic treasures from our civic body.
Several recent initiatives, including privatization of parks, closing recreation centers, and placing advertising on every available public surface, have failed to keep people from going outdoors for free. We need bold ideas.
The qualified candidate will:
· Own a stun gun
· Possess strong ties to the business community
· Exhibit rudimentary math skills
And I can’t imagine who would have posted an ad like that. Certainly not some guy who threatened to barf in Dolores Park.
