The site, now neglected for ten years, has turned into a swamp, prompting outrage as landlord Hawk Lou proposes a new development that minimally addresses affordable housing. Despite profound community opposition, the SF Planning Commission postponed a decision but suggested approval is unavoidable, highlighting the tension between community needs and legal constraints on planning officials.
