Builder of Oakland's Fox Theater Once Imprisoned For 'White Slavery'
Speaking of nabe renaming, the fine folks over at Curbed have word that the Board of Supervisors approved an ordinance to create a "South Slope Protection Area" in Bernal Heights. Made up of five blocks and some undeveloped land at the edges of St. Mary's Park and 280, the questionable protection area was needed, we're told, because of "'insufficient' infrastructure and emergency access routes." So, yeah, we don't get it either. But we would like to have a better, chicer, more displacement-y name for the news area by day's end. Get cracking, folks. (Curbed)

For what it's worth, this "nabe" includes 1/2 of the Alemany projects.
I know that a lot of folks on the top part of that area really don't like the way things are headed, and blame the city for neglecting the lower part...
Maybe unrelated, but I hope not.
Did NOPA have to go through this arduous process or is it still the big racist fraud I've always claimed it to be?
Appears unrelated based on the following comments on Curbed.
Guess it's just about how ridiculous the streets are over there.
This, per the City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors, October 7, 2008:
[Building Code - Bernal Heights South Slope Protection Area]
