He may embarrass establishment types and he may use populism in his appeal but Cheeto is very establishment.
Brown is a power broker. I'm not sure what his legacy is beyond that. He said before he got elected mayor that he would pave San Francisco and he's pretty much done that. He also referred to himself as a pimp and the board of supervisors as his whores. A colorful figure (as is Trump) but basically a broker for development deals.
I know San Francisco well and I even took dance classes from his 'wife' Blanch Brown at Dance Mission. But again, I don't know what his legacy will be. I couldn't say what he's done, outside of deals, and I lived in San Francisco 25+ years. He sure pissed me off when he called in favors to literally line the street with cops, sheriffs and CHP during Critical Mass a month or so before his re-election. Previously, SFPD bike patrol rode CM themselves.
Nope, I don't like the guy. And I'd never call him any sort of liberal.
