DeWitt Lacy wants District 10 to get its fair share — of the city’s economic pie, of the programs that serve San Franciscans, of the parks and infrastructure that San Francisco pays for. He complains that the district has some of the worse environmental problems in the city “and we don’t even protect the parkland we have now.” He’s taking a generally progressive approach — he opposes sit-lie, is against the gang injunctions, and supports all the revenue measures on the fall ballot. He also thinks the city makes it too hard on the working class; in fact, he complained about the cost of parking tickets, saying they’re a real burden for people trying to support a family on moderate incomes. And he’s concerned that the emphasis on housing in the city’s Eastern Neighborhoods Plan could impact light industry.
