Everyone knows Ed Jew has a flower shop in Chinatown–the FBI raided it in May–but did you know that he stopped tree plantings in the Sunset District, which may or may not be where the District 4 supervisor lives?

Ed Jew got back from China on Sunday, and while he is recovering from jet lag, word is spreading of a June column he wrote in the Sunset Beacon, in which he claims his family “now” live on 28th Avenue in a house owned by his father, and the Burlingame home is just a place his wife’s family gather on weekends and holidays.
While the CIty Attorney figures out whether Jew’s definition of “now” passes muster with City residency code, it’s worth pursuing back issues of the Sunset Beacon for insights into Jew’s views on, well, trees.
