Better Streets Plan

the draft plan for San Francisco's pedestrian environment.

Skyscraper + affordable housing at First and Folsom: the problem with opacity?

The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency requested proposals for the rights to "design and develop a high-density residental project with ground-floor retail" at First and Folsom, but the three bids on the table are being considered confidentially. (SFGate). Should a decision with this much impact on the South of Market landscape be made behind closed doors?
