Bayview and Redevelopment: Second of Two Parts
According to Mary Ratcliff, UCSF is rumored to have approached Bayview developers about housing masses of newly hired biotechies. Willie termed Mission Bay, site of stem cell research, "slightly toxic." South of the Cesar Chavez line, driving Third along the light rail tracks, to our left hunch squat $110 million maintenance buildings, offices and car service barns.
The rail, built to Visitacion Valley, with extensions planned to City College, and the Airport, would transport Mission Bay scientists to Bayview market rate housing. "In a $600 million dollar Light Rail project," Willie grumbles, "They're promising us all these jobs. We got nothing out of this deal but dust."
At the March 6 SFRA hearing, an apprentice with Local 22, Carpentry and Jointers Union in the Bayview asserted, "Redevelopment is absolutely out of the question, The people here don't want this. Whatever carrots they throw out, like jobs, --- It's not going to happen."
She sees young people of color, traditionally excluded, conducting undignified hustles to land exploitative jobs handling hazardous waste and cancerous material at a Superfund site, "so contaminated that the Federal Government has to address it for its nuclear waste materials. It's oftentimes tied to militarism because of the testing and development that was done with weapons." Trainees are expected to be grateful for potentially deadly low wage jobs.
We cross Marin St. and Islais Creek Bridge past Bayview Plaza and India Basin Industrial Park, already a Redevelopment area.
