It couldn’t be more appropriate that a vacant, zombie infested building owned by the federal government was dedicated to Nancy Pelosi. Located in what’s left of downtown San Francisco, the 18-story tower is about to be sold for some fast cash to help balance the U.S. budget.
Nancy Pelosi Federal Building
The White House recently announced that they’re looking to sell the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building in San Francisco. Uncle Sam owns another building in the same city and he’s hoping to unload that property as well.
They’re both in an acceptable state of repair but neither one of them are usable. Thanks to Democrat social policies.
Less than two decades old, the Pelosi building was opened in 2007 at a cost of $144 million. San Franciscans call it “one of the ugliest structures in their city.”
Federal workers haven’t been able to work there for years, due to the fentanyl addled zombies shuffling along the sidewalks in packs, begging for change and cigarettes.
This past December, the building located on Mission and 7th streets was formally dedicated to former House speaker Pelosi. The neighborhood is well known to be “plagued by open-air drug dealing, illegal markets reselling stolen goods and other crime.”
In 2023, “hundreds of federal employees at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services assigned to the building were instructed to work from home amid worsening safety concerns.”
Drug deals on the doorstep
At the time that decision was made, Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst “demanded its closure due to the drug dealing at the building’s doorstep.” Since then, the Pelosi building has been surrounded by homeless drug users.
The building was a “waste of taxpayer money from day one,” relates Andy Ball, a developer who worked as a concrete subcontractor on the project.
“No investor would have built this building,” he added. Somebody lined their pockets on this deal. Ball estimates costs were about “50% greater” than if the project “had been funded by the private sector.”
When they dedicated the building to Nancy Pelosi in December, “the Federal Protective Service ramped up security at the corner since the 7th Street.” Residents get a laugh out of that one. They “lamented that the problems just seemed to have been moved a block over, as federal employees would now enjoy the benefit of armed security, while everyday citizens do not.”
Along with offices for Pelosi the building is meant to accommodate roughly 2,000 workers. It used to house Health and Human Services, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Labor, the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
All of those staffers have been working from home for years. Some say it’s too bad we can’t sell Pelosi, along with the building named after her.
