Paradise Lost: A Recipe for Gentrification in Chicago, San Francisco, and Beyond The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency’s plan to take over more than 1,300 acres in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood is the opening salvo in the final struggle for the soul of San Francisco.

Although there has been m...

Supervisor Sandoval will soon have a hearing on his measure to require rental units that convert to ownership ...

Disability Perspective: Concerns About Bikes on Transit MUNI says we are one of the only major transit systems to NOT allow bikes inside streetcars.

SF Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) and Thugs that work with SFRA History repeats itself and not long ago we had a Jesse James that dealt with Railroad magnets and thugs that killed, raped, and stole property to make way for the railroad heading West. It is the same today in the Bayview - SF Redevelopment is using thugs many convicted jail birds to push an agenda that adversely impacts thousands. SF Redevelopment has failed at Mission Bay, the Fillmore, and all over the City and County of San Francisco. Eminent Domain, Blight , and Tax Increment are tools t...

Eminent Domain and more in the Bayview we need leaders to take on the CROOKS Eminent Domain is in force in the Bayview and soon more at Hunters Point and in Visitation Valley. Our Board of Supervisors (BOS) with the exception of Chris Daly and Ross Mirkarimi are asking the right question linked to San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and the Project Area that is Bayview Hunters point. The rest of the BOS mainly Aaron Peskin, Bevan Dufty, Jake McGoldrick, and Sophie Maxwell are sell outs. These idiots did it once with Parcle A at Hunters Point that is going no where. And...

Crooked developers already tearing down buildings to gentrify the Bayview Hunters Point Crooked developers are already tearing down buildings without permits and not following the basic health and safety standards. Old buildings have harmful materials like asbestos and the tearing down goes without any watering and dust flying all over the place. Even as the tearing goes down workers without masks work within feet inhaling the dust. No permit signs are posted and the thugs are making hay while the sun shines. I see no leadership in the Bayview to take on the scumbags and SFRA is...
