San Francisco Waterfront Alliance’s simple goals: transparent, fair, and thoughtful process
| April 21, 2013 | Posted by jamie under Activism, Piers 30-32, Warriors Arena |
The wolf is in the hen house, but residents can unite to muzzle the wolf a little by joining the San Francisco Waterfront Alliance. The Alliance have pretty noble and seemingly simple goals that City employees should embrace: “fighting for a fair process where all the facts are known and all voices will be heard.”… Keep reading
San Francisco Waterfront Alliance – Demanding a thoughtful process for Warriors Arena project
| April 21, 2013 | Posted by jamie under Activism, Piers 30-32, Warriors Arena |
While lots of folks like the idea of an arena in San Francisco (and some may even think that it could work at Piers 30-32 without shortening our lives and dramatically harming our quality of life), I believe everyone should support a thoughtful process that holds the City accountable for keeping residents safe from environmental… Keep reading

Editorial by Jamie Whitaker I’ve made a video to share my SoMa point of view … I’ll be adding to this editorial over the next week or so … there’s so many reasons to vote NO on Proposition B and insist on a more equitable set of beneficiary projects which account for SoMa’s dearth of… Keep reading

SoMa Loop Bus Route Needed
| September 29, 2012 | Posted by jamie under Activism, Transportation & Ped Safety |
One of my big frustrations as a resident in Rincon Hill is the fact that the high-rise, 400-600 foot tall residential towers are justified by the Planning Department with phrases like “transit-oriented development,” but there’s not a single neighborhood-serving bus line that goes through this “transit-oriented development” neighborhood. The 12-Folsom bus kinda served that purpose,… Keep reading
