On the Waterfront

Our drama begins with Aaron Peskin pulling out a rarely used, little known ordinance that ruled that any huge development has to be re-examined and analyzed part-way into the development to check on its economic feasibility. Peskin, whose district covers the area being discussed, has been a long-time critic of the plan, as have most of the other Supervisors. Ever since the plan was announced in those halcyon days of 2001, the usual squeaky wheels have been squeaking about the usual things and got the Supervisors to listen. Never let it be said that your Board of Supervisors won't waste a good opportunity to get more Working Class Hero bona fides.
