120_334502.jpg
by Ben Rosenfeld Repost
The federal government has been chomping at the bit to put Rod Coronado back in prison since the moment he got out, and his indictment in San Diego for an exercise of pure speech is a flimsy pretext to do just that. [ed: Updated 02 March 2006]...

textCritical Mass by Beyond Chron (reposted)
Fourteen years ago, Chris Carlsson and a few dozen of his cycling friends decided to take back the streets of San Francisco from cars in a spontaneous demonstration of the might of bikes. They enjoyed the ride so much that they decided to make it a monthly tradition. 162 months later, Critical Mass—as the motley collection of bike commuters, recreational cyclists, and the occasional hooligan is known—is a Bay Area landmark. Several hundred cyclists routinely participate in the controversial r...

textGlobal Warming and San Francisco by Francisco Da Costa
San Francisco purports to be a Green City. The actions of the City and County of San Francisco and Mayor Gavin Newsom speak other wise. Over 400 mature trees were clear cut on Parcel A at Hunters Point Shipyard. Over 300 trees at McClaren Park. 3 brand new Combustion Turbines spewing dangerous particulates are proposed to be built at Pier 80. Our watershed is being polluted by leaking sewer pipes. We continue to build more homes and use less Solar but more fossil fuel. All these reasons and m...

On March 2, 2006 the SF Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) and the SF Planning Department will meet in joint session to listen to comments on the Certification of the proposed Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Projects and Zoning Environmental Impact Report. So far the process has been disgusting with the SFRA holding meetings without the proper documents - case in point lack of transportation studies.

The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) with Marcia Rosen as its evil leader were stopped in their tracks even as they wanted the SFRA Commissioners to agree to a resolution that all was NOT fine with a very faulty Final Environmental Impact Report that has not been discussed by the affected community in the Bayview.
