Urgent Action needed TODAY for affordable housing in Bayview (san francisco specific)
¡¡¡URGENT ACTION ALERT FROM POWER!!!
POWER and the Stop Lennar Action Movement need your help—RIGHT NOW.
Call or email Board of Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval
RIGHT NOW
and urge him to sponsor Affordable Housing Initiative!
Lennar is placing an initiative on the ballot to get control of 700 more acres of land in Bayview Hunters Point. You might recognize Lennar as the developer who is currently poisoning children, elderly and low-income families in Bayview Hunters Point.
In response, POWER and the Stop Lennar Action Movement are attempting to place our own initiative on the ballot to block Lennar’s efforts. Specifically, our initiative would require that 50% of the planned 8,500 to 10,000 housing units that Lennar would build be affordable to SF residents. Of those units, our initiative would require that at least 1/3 be affordable at 30% AMI, 1/3 be affordable at 60%AMI, and 1/3 be available to 80% AMI. This would be a landmark decision, opening up TRULY affordable housing to working class San Francisco.
We need 4 supervisors to sign on to this in order for it to qualify for the June 2008 election. However, 2 of the 4 supervisors who were with us are now being pressured by Lennar NOT to sign the initiative. These supervisors have stood with us before, demanding accountability for Lennar, but when the heat is turned up,
THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING.
Call or email Sandoval RIGHT NOW!
