It's the stuff of political nightmares: your name suddenly becomes a hashtag, and potential voters take potshots at you in 140 damning characters....

Basically, Christensen was pissing on the idea that predatory landlords are evicting people en masse. In fact, sometimes tenants are the problem, she seemed to imply.

Supervisor Kim, understandably irked by this accusation of fearmongering, launched a hashtag today, #DearJulileImReal, that caught on well enough to briefly trend in San Francisco.

With a little help from Tweeters citywide, Kim’s hashtag reminded Christensen that housing horror stories do exist, and people really are getting screwed by shitty landlords.
