Bayview/Hunters Point Redevelopment Meeting Today
Just a little reminder that today is the day for the Redevelopment Agency’s meeting on Bayview Hunter’s Point.
The details:
Tuesday, March 7th at 4:00PM in City Hall, Room 416, “to consider the proposed Redevelopment Plan Amendment for the Hunters Point Redevelopment Project (the “Redevelopment Plan Amendment”) and to consider all evidence and testimony for or against the approval of the proposed Redevelopment Plan Amendment”
There are also rallies planned prior to the meeting, at 3pm, on the steps of City Hall. SFBayView is holding “our own press conference and rally prior to the Redevelopment Commission voting the land grab up or down; speak out the way the great Dr. Carlton Goodlett would – the street is named after him.”
There is also an editorial on SFBayView on the redevelopment. “It was “redevelopment” that caused a mass exodus of Black folks from the Fillmore. Residents were pushed out of their homes “in the name of urban renewal,” as the Chronicle says. Many ex-residents of what is now called the Western Addition moved here to Bayview Hunters Point, so the proposed redevelopment of BVHP is like a recurring nightmare.”
