FOR SALE: San Francisco's Pelosi Federal Building on the Chopping Block

The Trump team it doing all they can to cut costs. Among the things they are doing evaluating the buildings they own and seeing which are being productive and which are not. Then they're selling those that are not.

So it seems very appropriate to tell you that one of the buildings that they are now trying to sell is the Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building on 7th Street in San Francisco. They are also trying to sell 50 United Nations Plaza in San Francisco, as well as a building in San Bruno.

Now, when I heard the news, I had to admit I laughed and thought how symbolic -- selling something that wasn't productive. Among the things the building has contained is Nancy Pelosi's district office.

The Trump administration says it will save money by avoiding maintenance on the buildings, selling the properties, then leasing office space for federal workers.

We've reported on issues with the Pelosi building in the past. They had so many problems with crime and it was so dangerous in August 2023, they were advising people to work from home for the foreseeable future.

No wonder they're looking to sell it. It's likely better and safer for workers to be elsewhere.  

Former Democratic representative Jackie Speier's reaction to the news of the sale is just hilarious. According to her, it's just about "payback."

"It's another example of how he is coming after Democrats. He's coming after California, and it's all about payback," Spear said, claiming leasing would be more problematic. 

Why would it be "payback," Jackie? Is she saying Pelosi did something to Trump? Hmm. 

Notice she doesn't seem to care about the safety of the building. In fact, the ABC story about the sale didn't mention that. They've tried to increase the security around it, even adding a fence. Because walls don't work, don't you know? But there was still a lot of crime around it in 2024. 

They actually had a renaming of the building in December to name it the "Speaker" Nancy Pelosi Federal Building. Pelosi bragged about it.

Lt. Gov. Ellen Kounalakis told Pelosi this would stand as a monument to Pelosi for future generations to come and be "reminded of your leadership." 

Not exactly, Lt. Governor.

The news had a lot of people laughing on X and calling it appropriate. 

Now given the history, it's easy to see why they would sell it. But give the damage that Pelosi has done with her actions, it's just the cherry on the top that Democrats are melting down over it and you know that it has to be driving Pelosi crazy.
