DESCRIPTION:The economic collapse in 2008 has been used as justification for the 
 sell-off of public spaces, buildings and the privatization of public 
 services and parks. San Francisco is turning into a billionaire’s dream, 
 as every city property from City Hall to the waterfront becomes a source 
 for profit.\n The growing lack of regulation and transparency is part and 
 parcel of this development and this forum will also look at how 
 environmental protection and right to information also are in jeopardy.\n 
 This panel will look at how our commons and public spaces are being 
 threatened, who is doing it, who is helping them do it and how we can 
 defend our public spaces and stop the privatization of public spaces and 
 resources.\n Speakers:\n Gray Brechin, UCB Geographer and author of 
 Imperial San Francisco\n James Chaffee, Keep Civic Center Public\n Aysha 
 Massell, Environmental Worker\n Don Santina, Cultural Historian and 
 writer\n Peter Warfield, Library Users Association/Executive Director\n
