Ron's LinkedIn claims he was an AI CEO.

My techie was an automated. it help desk in your pocket where you are always first in line built with boomers in mind. worked with a team of brilliant technologists Stanford Allen institute, human-center design, gurus and market experts on this breakthrough AI product. despite very positive market signs and some early traction from impressive investors, we uncovered technical risks in the AI that made further pursuit of the product untenable

Can't build housing that blocks views of the Golden Gate Bridge from all* the districts in SF. Which is why we should build a Golden Gate Bridge in every district!!!

Great project. wrong location. if this goes through it will unleash turning the marina green into Manhattan. the GG Bridge won't be seen from D1, D2, D4, D3, D5, D7, d8, d9. it grounds out community.

If we can close Howard St for an HR people playground, we should be able to close Howard full time.
