polk street gentrification ... the latest saga

The latest chapter in our reign of gentrification of Polk St is the Streetscape Improvements program. We've got the city removing perfectly healthy trees and replacing them with ornate landscaping so we can jack up rent, while they continue to cut services to the poor! Muhahahah. Oh, and of course with any plan, our leading members get an exception and don't have to follow it if their expensive trees don't fit the landscaping plan.

Loud Pesky Nuisance. Whining about poor people & city life since 2001.

Come to our next meeting where we'll brainstorm new ways to criminalize poverty and make polk st unaffordable! and don't forget to check out our shiny new polk st poverty court!

 

p.s. we aren't supposed to mention this, and it might not do anything to stop us, but you can comment about this whole affair to the mayor, your supervisor or fax the DPW at 415-695-2147 or email at the site linked above.
