What's Really Wrong With the Lower Fillmore?
From this week’s SF Weekly comes an article attempting to clarify what is happening in the Lower Fillmore, formerly the home to San Francisco’s great jazz heritage.
“The five neighborhood residents on the subcommittee are fishing for financial information from the Redevelopment Agency’s Western Addition project manager, Gaynell Armstrong. They want to know just how much money is left for the redevelopment project that leveled and then rebuilt much of the Western Addition neighborhood. The project began in 1964 and will be completed in 2009.”
“Because the agency’s books offer vague work descriptions, it is hard to know who is paid for what and why. Under titles of “consulting” and “production,” thousands of dollars are paid out each year to residents in the Lower Fillmore.”
