Bayview/Hunters Point Residents Have Their Say at SFRA Meeting

From a post on IndyBay.org by Francisco Da Costa of Environmental Justice Advocacy, "The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) with Marcia Rosen as its evil leader were stopped in their tracks even as they wanted the SFRA Commissioners to agree to a resolution that all was NOT fine with a very faulty Final Environmental Impact Report that has not been discussed by the affected community in the Bayview. Gone are the days when the Western Addition was ruined by Racist SFRA. We will not permit the SFRA to come into our community and take over large tracts of land without meaningful dialog and full input of the community."

"February 21, 2006 in Room 416 at San Francisco City Hall - San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) were told in no uncertain terms that they cannot come into the Bayview and take over property that belongs to the residents."

"The BLIGHT that we have in our community are the two power plants, the sewage treatment plant, the Darlin plant that manufactures tallow, the 400 toxic spots that have not been abated. It is the duty of the City and County to abate and clean up the toxic areas."

"It is time that SF Redevelopment Agency is told to pack up and go some where else. We do not want them in San Francisco. They failed at Western Addition. They failed at Mission Bay. They will fail in the Bayview. "
