Negro Removal a reality in Bayview Hunters Point under Mayor Newsom
The thugs came out of the woods and testified that jobs would be given to them on a platter as they vouched for San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) and Mayor Newsom. It was interesting to hear Michael Cohen vouch that Mayor Newsom and Supervisor Sophie Maxwell approved the SFRA decision to declare over 2500 acres in the Bayview prime land to developed using Eminent Domain as the tool. It does not matter under Mayor Newsom who suffers.
The thugs came out of the wood works mostly ignorant and very uneducated on matters pertaining to the Final Environmental Impact Report and linked to over 2500 acres in the Bayview Hunters Point. Paid under the table they came to vouch for those at the helm of affairs - folks like Marcia Rosen and Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Speaker after speaker stated that Mayor Gavin Newsom was behind this ploy to take over land that does not belong to the SF Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) but now does as a Project Area and develop it. Over 2500 acres in the Bayview Hunters Point.
SFRA is not about jobs - it is about taking property and giving it to developers to built homes and facilities. In this case SFRA will build mostly Market Rate units and use Tax Increment to make millions of dollars.
What it does with the millions some $350 million plus - is SFRA businesses.
Mayor Gavin Newsom should be ashamed of himself - working hard to build the 49er City and drive the poor from the affected Project Area. Affect the lives of those that worked hard to build and own their own homes in the Bayview.
Marcia Rosen, Jesse Blout, Dwayne Jones, Michael Cohen, Mayor Gavin Newsom and the cronies that advise him should be ashamed of themselves.
This is another holocaust and the last time around no one took on the thieves but this time they will not go scott free:
