Opinions continue to fly about what Governor Jerry Brown’s elimination of redevelopment agencies will mean to San Francisco.
Writes the very pro-redevelopment nonprofit SPUR:
Mission Bay and the first phase of Hunter’s Shipyard will continue to move forward, but the timeline of other projects, such as Phase II of Hunter’s Shipyard and the Transbay Terminal, are more uncertain.
Meanwhile, John Myers over at KQED has a great summary (and a link to the the full text) of the lawsuit filed yesterday with the California Supreme Court by the California Redevelopment Agency, the League of California Cities and the cities of San Jose and Union City.
The suit argues that Brown’s measure, which requires that redevelopment agencies either close up shop or turn over a significant portion of the property tax dollars they’ve been collecting to the state budget, is illegal. The suit also asks that the Supreme Court take on the case ASAP, because Brown’s legislation takes effect on October 1.
And in more local news: SFist has a nice summary of the legislation coming up at today’s Board of Supervisors meeting.
