The last time I saw Mayor Ed Lee was just before Thanksgiving at the San Francisco Interfaith Council Prayer Breakfast, when the thrust of his remarks was that San Francisco would remain a sanctuary city, despite pressures to change that policy. Although his demeanor was always polite and even deferential to the power players with whom he shared the public playing field, and although the effects of his pro-growth policies were often questioned by advocates for the homeless and for housing, on this issue of sanctuary, you could feel his satisfaction in strongly stating a position so in keeping with progressive San Francisco values.
