Construction within a matter of months. That only was the down payment on that 1. 4 billion dollars worgts of renovation work, ada compliance work, and its going it take us many years to get through that entire list of work and is the next big investment we need to make. George, how would you like to respond . I would like to respond right now the current 2012 bond they are offering, they went to the neighborhoods very quickly without a good plan, they misrepresented what they were going to be doing in several instances, they went back to the inaudible and said the neighborhoods love what you are doing. I live in district 7, were getting only 2 Million Dollars. The funny thing about the 2 Million Dollars is that its going to like merced yet park and rec will not tell us anything about what theyre spending the money on. They are asking for blind faith from the voters. They are asking us to vote on the bond then they will tell us after weve voted what they are going to do with the money.
The 2012 bpbld was originally scheduled for 2014 and it has been moved up. About 41 percent of the 2008 bond, 73 Million Dollars, has yet to be spent. So were asking ourselves why now, why with so many parks, with so many problems are you coming to us when you dont even have the maintenance or operational people to maintain these parks . Its time for rec and park system to take care of the things that they build and not just continue to build things. Thank you. Thank you. So, matthew, my understanding is there is a current bond thats still in progress that hasnt been completed yet. Why do you believe that we should have another bond issue while we still have one thats in progress . Correct. Great question. The 2008 parks bond passed by voters in 2008, obviously, covered 185 Million Dollars worth of investments in the park system. That sbair bond is already fully committed for projects either completed, under construction or in the pipeline to be under construction within a matter of mo
Cost of housing. That would be a better way to get Affordable Housing, not bringing back this Redevelopment Agency with its legacy of driving African Americans out of the fillmore and they had slated more than half the bay area for redevelopment before they were shut down. Anything youd like to add, peter . Theres a number of assertions from my opponent that are based in a misunderstanding how Affordable Housing works in San Francisco in this particular measure. Unfortunately theres not enough time to tackle all of them, but i want to make clear this is not subsidizing middle income home owners. This is going to go primarily for low and very low householders in San Francisco. That has always been the programmatic focus because you can leverage funding. We live in a high income market and that is exactly why we have an affordable sector in this city. When it comes it recreating redevelopment, thats a fallacy. Its about recognizing that redevelopment allowed a certain portion of money to
