For people who are in the penisular.
Yes to G and No to F.
Proposition G is for the redevelopment of the Hunterpoint district. That will mean more jobs and making hunterspoint a better place to live for everyone. Also possibly a new stadium for the 9ers.
I don't understand those how would object to this.
FYI, all funding for the development will be coming from the developer not a dime from the city at all. How good can that get.

I am not buying into it. It is a fact. Even if the city puts in money, there is no downside of it. You are turning the pit of SF into something like the embacadaro. Hunterpoint has been a **** hole for so long, this is the only chance for it to be redevelope. if the proposition don't go through, the developer will walk on the project, there would be anyother who will be capable of taking the project on.
It's now or never.

Hell, they are currently listed at junk bond status.
^^ Yeah they have a bad name out there, but what do we have to lose. Believe me, i have dealt with a lot of developers and Lennar is by far a better developer than alot of others.
I am pretty sure they are going to do alot if they get the go ahead.

I'm voting no on this one - its a bad idea.
I can only see the benefits and very little to no disadvantage for this deal to go thru.
It is the only chance to keep the 9ers here and also create jobs in this economic down turn.

True, however, you as a resident don't get anything from it sitting there undeveloped and gets occupied by homeless and host drug deals. The only thing that will happen is possibly increase crime in SF and there is no benefit of leaving it undeveloped.

As for the 9ers - I dont give a rats *** about keeping a sports team. I'd prefer they left. As for creating jobs - again, theres no requirement that Lennar do so, and they have a bad history of keeping promises.
Also, Yes on 99, no on 98.

I'd prefer to stick with Prop F, which is the communities plan that doesn't involve handouts to a developer.

You are entitled to vote for what you want, but I feel this is the best opportunity for the place to get better that everyone will benefit from it. Considering Lennar will do what they said they would.

The problem with F is that it mandates 50% of the development be allotted for low income housing, which is great from an anti-gentrification point of view, but will basically mean death to any real development plans in the area. No developer is going to want to build on the land if there is no possibility of making any money at all. Plus, Chris Daly is sponsoring the bill and I really think everything he does is just for attention and really hinders the legislative process in the city. I think if one were not to support G, then not voting for F would be better. At least that way, there will be room in the future for a better proposal rather than getting stuck with F's mess.
