The New York Times just published a longish article about children and San Francisco, which includes quotes from District 7 Supervisor, Norman Yee.

Read it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/us/san-francisco-children.html. Beyond Chron’s reply: http://www.beyondchron.org/ny-times-whiffs-sfs-lost-children-story/

“Everybody talks about children being our future,” said Norman Yee, a member of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors. “If you have no children around, what’s our future?”

[….] Mr. Yee, the supervisor, is urging his colleagues to hold hearings next month on the issue of children.

“For me it’s part of the fabric of what a city should have,” he said. “It makes us all care more.”

The Balboa Reservoir Project is a very large proposed development that will impact life for residents in Sunnyside (more here). Housing and park space are planned for the now undeveloped land to the west of City College. The Community Advisory Committee (BRCAC) is an unprecedented new aspect of development in San Francisco–and a vital part of deciding what that project will look like going forward. You can be a part of that process–BRCAC meetings are open to all community members.

The next meeting of the Community Advisory Committee is Monday, February 13, 2016. More about the meeting here. It will be held at City College of San Francisco, Multi-Use Building, Room 140, 55 Phelan Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. 6:15pm. To contact Committee Chair Lisa Spinali, email BalResCACChair@gmail.com.

The process for selecting a developer for the site has begun. Here’s the timeline:

The Safeway store at 625 Monterey Blvd has been experiencing leaks through the ceiling, as many shoppers have seen. A visitor to the store talked today with a worker with the waterproofing company that has come to fix the problem.
