DESCRIPTION:Saturday, February 1\n16th and Mission BART Plaza\n1:00 PM\n\nA community 
 event hosted by \nLa Plaza 16 Coalición / The Plaza 16 Coalition\n\n• 
 Help fight for affordable housing development that truly serves our 
 community.\n\n• Help fight for a Plaza and a neighborhood that is safe 
 and livable for everyone.\n\n• Learn more about a proposed development 
 project for the 16th  and Mission Plaza that would have a profound and 
 lasting impact on the surrounding community.\n\n\nPotentially very big 
 changes are in store for the community surrounding the 16th Street BART 
 Plaza. An $82-million development with 351 residential housing units has 
 been proposed for 1979 Mission Street (adjacent to the plaza) and is 
 currently working its way through the City's approval process.\n\nLa Plaza 
 16 Coalición/ The Plaza 16 Coalition has come together to advocate for the 
 1979 Mission Street site to be used for much needed affordable housing in 
 the neighborhood. We do not believe the development project, as currently 
 proposed, primarily serves the needs of the existing community and thus we 
 will oppose the development unless it is tailored to meet the need for 
 truly affordable housing in the neighborhood.\n\nOur coalition builds on 
 the decades of planning and organizing in the Mission which created Plan 
 Popular and won affordable housing for our communities.\n\nIn addition we 
 envision a 16th St and Mission St. that has:\n\n1. Welcoming streets for 
 grandmothers, kids, tenants, homeless people - streets that reduce hazards, 
 and increase pedestrian safety and cultural vibrancy\n\n2. Increased public 
 open space\n\n3. A local economy of mom and pop entrepreneurship that 
 serves the needs of local residents and workers and supports the creation 
 of good jobs for community residents\n\n4. Planning that is conducted by 
 people who live and work in the neighborhood\n\n5. A strong local ecosystem 
 of resources and services that create healthy neighborhoods\n\n6. No more 
 market rate housing development until the needs for affordable housing are 
 met\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/01/24/18749706.php
