Bayview Redevelopment Blocked

People are pondering the upcoming plebescite on Bayview development. RandySF writes:

'So, Bayview residents, who live in some of the most squalid conditions in the city, will have to wait another year before they are allowed to improve their lives. Never mind that there will be no "emminent domain" of houses. Never mind that no less a progressive than Sophie Maxwell supports redevelopment. Never mind that the new jobs created would have to be filled by bayview residents.

'There can only be four types of people who are blocking this: Developers who do not want to employ Bayview residents; "Activists" who want to keep playing the poverty game; "Progressives" who don't want to take any chances of having more black neighbors and Chris Daley who would lose support if people realized that he doesn't have any answers.

Way to go progressives. '
