This has been a very exciting and challenging year for District 10. We have seen the new mayor place shelters in our community without community input and agreement. We have had to endure our communities turning into storage for the city (with tiny homes being stockpiled on Jerrold, as well as the attempt to store towed RVs at Pier 68 in our district). We have also seen the continued focus on investing everywhere but in our communities.
With all of the attempts to defile our communities, District 10 remains a vibrant and thriving part of San Francisco. We have a new playground and YMCA at Crane Cove Park, brand new affordable housing units on the Shipyard (Doris Vincent and Oscar James Apartments), another affordable housing building on the Power Station (the Sophie Maxwell Building), another 100% affordable housing building on 25th Street in Potrero Hill and many new businesses on the 3rd Street Corridor, Leland Avenue, 22nd and 18th Streets. We have secured a funding mechanism for reparations and continue to see violence decrease in our communities.
I want to take the time to thank all of our neighborhoods for your resiliency and for your commitment to our district. Together we can continue to improve in areas where we need growth and at the same time maintain the culture and presence that has always made District 10, a powerful model of diversity, strength, and community pride - from Bayview, Potrero Hill, Dogpatch, Visitacion Valley, Sunnydale, Little Hollywood and all of the areas in between! |
