Adventures in Liberal Fascism Pt. 7

A room full of white San Francisco professionals scowling at the black people on a street of Redhook NYC in a documentary establishing shot projected on the wall by Gavin Newsom's public policy chief Julian Potter during a presentation on "problem-solving justice" at an LPN meeting in June 2006.

To get this documentary image, personnel from the Mayor's office had to swap laptop powerpoint presentation projectors with a development agency LPN had invited to detail a proposed 130 foot tall, 107-condo (with garage and retail-- Trader Joe's was negotiating!) residential tower at 1285 Sutter, the former home of Galaxy Theatre. Marilyn Ponte of Bayrock Residential drew meeting attendees' attention to a "curved element" along the skyscrapers vertical line as seen from Hemlock Alley which the San Francisco Planning Commission had wanted.
