In early January, anonymous attack posters were slipped into mailboxes and left on doorsteps in San Francisco’s Sunset District.
The poster read, “No Slums In The Sunset.” It informed residents that a “7-story, 100-unit high-rise slum” was planned for the neighborhood and predicted that within two years the property in question at 26th Avenue and Irving Street would “become the best place in San Francisco to buy heroin.”
