Supes Support Alice Griffith Tenants – But Endorse LennarPaul Hogarthbyline‚ Feb. 14‚ 2007The Board of Supervisors passed 8-2 a resolution yesterday to “endorse efforts” by the City, the Redevelopment Agency and the Lennar Corporation to transform parts of Hunters Point into a mixed use development – with a new 49ers Stadium, open spaces and various “tangible economic benefits” to the community’s low-income residents. Supervisors Chris Daly and Ed Jew were the only dissenting votes. Responding to an outcry from tenants at the Alice Griffith Housing Project (who fear losing their homes), Sophie Maxwell ushered an amendment to clarify that it would be a phased development with one-for-one replacement – and that the new housing units would be truly affordable for existing tenants at Alice Griffith. |
