“I spent several years in San Francisco as a youth and I always loved it. It was my first choice when Walter and I decided to move. Walter is certainly one of the leading figures, but I wouldn’t say he controlled the game. He’s too much of a politician to demand things or insist that he get his way. At any rate, I for one have always found Walter’s judgment to be very good.”
