textSan Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) in the Bayview Hunters Point by Francisco Da Costa
San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) keeps messing around in the Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP) using ploys that are detrimental to the constituents of San Francisco in general and BVHP in particular. Over 33,200 signatures were collected to stall SFRA and the matter is before a Judge. SFRA still does not get it - they are using SF Planning through Sophie Maxwell, to rezone areas in the BVHP, are messing with Public Housing and in general adversely impacting thousands....

text49ers should stay away from Candlestick Park and the surrounding pollution by Francisco Da Costa
49ers should stay away from Candlestick Park and the surrounding area it is too polluted. It has been for many, many years. The City and County of San Francisco and Mayor Gavin Newsom should clean up the area. Complete, with the State Park near by that was once a garbage dump site. The near by Yosemite Slough that is full of PCBs. The Shipyard that is a Superfund Site. When it rains the Parking Lot surround Candlestick Park floods - much of the water - polluted....

textSophie Maxwell is clueless - short changing Bayview Hunters Point by Francisco Da Costa
Sophie Maxwell loves by passing the constituents and trying to pass stupid Resolution linked to language that makes no sense that she calls policies. These policies then are used as a "hub" to create faulty language and soon you have "ordinances" that are fake laws that adversely impact thousands in the Bayview Hunters Point. Most of her machinations are concretely linked to Bayview Hunters Point - the other moronic SF Board of Supervisors that have been supporting Sophie Maxwell - better thi...

textToo much COOING in the HOOD - Bayview Hunters Point by Francisco Da Costa
Communities of Opportunity (COO) is a program where people are supposed to empower themselves. The model has been in operation for the last 3 years with the full knowledge of Mayor Gavin Newsom. The main man behind the model is Dwayne Jones - the former Director of the Mayor's Office of Community Development - and now self appointed Director of Communities of Opportunity (COO). The plan is simple - go into poor neighborhoods - throw some bread crumbs and make way for Lennar BVHP to come in an...

textSupes Support Alice Griffith Tenants – But Endorse Lennar by Paul Hogarth, Beyond Chron (reposted)
The Board of Supervisors passed 8-2 a resolution yesterday to “endorse efforts” by the City, the Redevelopment Agency and the Lennar Corporation to transform parts of Hunters Point into a mixed use development – with a new 49ers Stadium, open spaces and various “tangible economic benefits” to the community’s low-income residents. Supervisors Chris Daly and Ed Jew were the only dissenting votes. Responding to an outcry from tenants at the Alice Griffith Housing Project (who fear losing their h...

textFears About Public Housing Show City Hall’s Disconnect by Sara Shortt, Beyond Chron (reposted)
Rumors abound about the fate of San Francisco’s public housing developments. In a recent rant on Indybay.org, activist Francisco Da Costa claims that the City’s plan is to “slowly board up all of Public Housing at Potrero Hill, bring in the SF Redevelopment Agency and build high rise buildings for the filthy rich.” As reported in Beyond Chron on February 12th, angry residents of the Alice Griffith housing development marched on the Mayor’s “town hall” meeting protesting the City’s plans to de...

textDemolition of Alice Griffith Homes Dominates Newsom Forum by Paul Hogarth, Beyond Chron (reposted)
As he continues to defy the voter-approved “Question Time” at the Board of Supervisors, Mayor Gavin Newsom held a second Town Hall on February 10th at the Whitney Young Child Development Center in Bayview. In stark contrast to his first meeting in the Richmond, the audience did not let the Mayor run a scripted, staged event where he is in complete control. The largely low-income African-American residents of Bayview were upset about the past, frustrated about the present, and anxious about th...

textSan Francisco Redevelopment Agency continues to adversely impact innocent constituents. by Francisco Da Costa
San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) continues to harm innocent constituents at Hunters Point by permitting Lennar Corp. to expose innocent constituents to the most dangerous particulates, lead, asbestos dust, and other radiological elements. The constituents have attended several meetings at City Hall in San Francisco and stated that in spite of over 12 Notice of Violations (NOVs) - Lennar Corp. and Kofi Bonner continue to harm innocent children and other constituents.

textSan Francisco’s Inconsistent Housing Policy by Randy Shaw, Beyond Chron (reposted)
On December 12, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will vote on a resolution requiring that housing built in the city’s Eastern Neighborhoods be 64% affordable. Since no nonprofit housing has been built in the area for sixteen years, and no private builder can afford the 64% affordability requirement, the measure sponsored by Supervisors Maxwell and McGoldrick effectively ends new construction in the area. The city’s inclusionary housing law requires developers to provide 15% affordabilit...

textThousands would have been "depeopled" at Candlestick Point by Lennar by Francisco Da Costa
Thousands of people would have been adversely impacted by Lennar and the cronies working for Mayor Gavin Newsom if the 49er plan had been accepted. There were plans in the making for over a year to tear down Alice Griffith Public Housing without any public meetings. Tear down other homes using the SF Redevelopment Agency to cater to the EVIL PLANS that Lennar Corp had in mind. The 49ers in bad faith were played by the City and County of San Francisco and decided to move away with the City hol...

textMayor Newsom’s Unfinished Agenda by Randy Shaw, Beyond Chron (reposted)
As San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom heads into his re-election year, many of his top priorities remain unfulfilled. The San Francisco Chronicle is focusing so intently on the Mayor’s social life that it is easy to forget that Newsom had unveiled a very ambitious agenda, one that went well beyond his work on the 49ers stadium. Remember when the Mayor played basketball in Bayview-Hunters Point and vowed to improve the neighborhood? When he said he was committed to changing the “culture” of the ...

Millions of dollars are spent by the City and County of San Francisco, by Law Enforcement (LE) trying their best to stop innocent people mostly of color and making life - a living hell for innocent constituents in the Bayview Hunters Point.This has been going for months.

textLennar cannot continue to HOODWINK San Franciscans all the time. by Francisco Da Costa
Lennar, a bad developer cannot continue to hoodwink San Franciscans while trying to make millions of dollars by building homes on very toxic land. The Hunters Point Shipyard is a Superfund Site. Only the worst of the worst toxic sites are deemed a Superfund Site. What makes Hunters Point worse are the radiological elements - the result of testing of Atomic and other very hazardous material testing during the War Effort. Very little sound clean up has been done to date. Mayor Gavin Newsom bear...
