One Rincon Hill Project A Bad View For the Future Our City Planning and those pushing for the Rincon One Project have NO vision and hav set a bad view for the future. Most of the folks living within these complex will NOT be San Franciscans because San Franciscans really do not care for high buildings and living in high density buildings. So some greedy developer comes all the way from San Diego and our leaders and planners fall for the ploy and compromise Quality of Life issues....

Hunters Point Parcel A comes to haunt City and County of San Francisco Parcel A on Hunters Point now belongs to the City and County of San Francisco.

Some of the hot spots have radiological elements and we have the Department of Public Works (DPW) now working on Parcel A without the constituents of San Francisco knowing a thing. Parcel A is very contaminated and yet Mayor Gavin Newsom with San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) wants to build 1600 homes in the middle of...

California Energy Commission favors diatribe from SFPUC and not facts.
