Why does SFLCV oppose Prop D?

In short its two things: we don’t think ads and signs make a neighborhood a better place, and it’s bad government. Complex planning code does not belong in the ballot box.

Though they are running unopposed, we also support candidates:
Jose M. Cisneros for Treasurer
and Dennis Herrera for City Attorney.

We in particular want to thank the artists for their contributions to the evening. Andrew Turner was the winner of the people’s choice award:

Todd Berman
Adrian Cotter
Lawrence Cuevas
Todd Gilens
Dave Hunkins
Papi Menon
Sarah Soward
Jake Thomason

Bayview Park is a 43.9 acre natural area with sweeping Bay views, including of Candlestick State Park and stadium.  The park supports perhaps the most diverse assemblage of plants and animals in the natural areas system. Its grassland has some of the most beautiful wildflower displays in San Francisco. Other plant communities in Bayview Park include coastal scrub, eucalyptus and oak groves, and the largest Islais cherry population in the city. On a sunny day you are likely to encounter western fence lizards, California alligator lizards, or one of many non-poisonous snakes, such as the San Francisco garter snake, Pacific gopher snake, or Pacific ring-neck snake. Red-tailed hawks are often seen soaring overhead. Great horned owls rest in the notches of trees during the day, and woodpeckers can be heard hammering for an insect snack.

Date: Saturday, March 28
Time: 10:30-12:00
Place: Bayview Hill. We will meet at 10:30 the park entrance at the end of Key Avenue.
Please note that the walk to the top of Bayview Hill can be somewhat strenuous, and a gardener’s truck will be available to provide rides to the top for attendees requiring assistance.
