Our Voices Were Heard! Prop G Passes!

San Francisco voters have overwhelmingly approved a new and far more promising future for the residents of Bayview Hunters Point.

While votes are still being counted, Proposition G passed with over 60% of the vote, and Proposition F was defeated by an equal margin.

The Yes on G victory means that we can at last begin creating thousands of affordable homes, hundreds of acres of parks, 8,000 good paying jobs, an $17 million job training program, and a potential site for a new 49ers stadium.

Proposition G authorizes the land use provisions needed to create an integrated mixed-use development on 770 acres in the southeastern tip of San Francisco that is currently home to an abandoned Navy shipyard and Candlestick Point. It also rescinds the city’s obligation to provide $100 million in bond funding for a new football stadium.

The measure allows for the construction of up to 10,000 homes at the two sites plus space for retail, offices and more than 300 acres of park and open space. Thirty-two percent of the housing will be affordable—believed to be the highest commitment of its kind in the city’s history. Lennar Urban will donate $27.3 million to residents of the adjacent Bayview-Hunters Point to assist in housing purchases, either in the new development or the existing neighborhood.

Thank you to all the voters and community support! We can now begin the work necessary to clean-up and re-vitalize Bayview-Hunters Point for everyone.

Nevius seem to truly understand its benefits of historical units of affordable housing, environmental clean-up, jobs for people who need them and general renewal for a neighborhood thatís been neglected for far too long. read blog >>

Yes on G early voting  

Yes on G, No on F Supporters Turn Out for Early Voting at City Hall

Yes on G, No on F supporters rallied together in San Francisco's Civic Center for early voting on Tuesday, May 13. Voters, many of them young people who grew up in the City, waited in a long line on a remarkably warm day to cast their ballots at City Hall. If Proposition G passes, it will speed the long-awaited cleanup of toxins at the Shipyard, which was welcome news to voter Cheri Newton. "I personally used to work on the Shipyard at the Golden Gate Railroad Museum," she reported. "And it was filthy. It was horrible. I was scared to go to work in the morning because I didn't know what was back there." read more>>
