Bayview Redevelopment Referendum Could Limit 49ers Backroom Dealing
The San Francisco Department of Elections announced yesterday that proponents of a referendum on Bayview-Hunters Point Redevelopment had submitted over 33,000 signatures. This is over 50% more than the 20,800 required, and gives the campaign sufficient breathing room when the random sampling for signature validity occurs Friday. The petition count comes as the San Francisco 49ers and the Lennar Corp. have announced further plans for the Bayview-Hunters Point community---plans that have never been subject to a public hearing or community meeting, that have seemingly bypassed District 10 Supervisor Sophie Maxwell, and that run directly counter to the public participation process set forth in the Redevelopment Plan.
