Plans to convert one of San Francisco's public housing projects into market rate housing has resulted in dozens of evictions, and more are expected.
"Of the 267 units at Hunters View, 110 are boarded up. Just 157 families remain at the violent and dilapidated development in San Francisco's Hunters Point neighborhood and 116 of them are in danger of eviction because they're behind on their rent or for other reasons."
"It's just what many residents feared when city officials said their development would be the first in line for a complete rebuild that would include hundreds of new, market-rate homes built among the subsidized units."
"'They're finding all kinds of reasons to put us out of here,' said Fleming, a 60-year-old great-grandmother who has lived in Hunters View since she was 9 and whose eviction case is winding its way through Superior Court. 'The less of us they have here, the less they have to deal with.'"
