Tenderloin Petitioner Wants Highrise Out

Posted by brittneygilbert
The former location of Kink.com intends to become a housing development, but not if one Tenderloin resident has any say so in the matter:

The former Kink.com porn studio and planned 15-story three-star hotel at 942 Mission is planning on moving ahead "at a rapid pace," but so far it's had its day at the Planning Commission pushed back a couple times in a row now. The Mint Developers project has already grabbed a go-ahead from the Planning Department, which declared it "could not have a significant effect on the environment," but it seems certain parties are seeking a rollback of that decision. What's the beef? Perhaps a super secret spy cam will tell us!

In the below video, left on Curbed SF's front porch this morning, petitioners go door to door in what looks like an SRO, warning about an "expensive high-rise hotel" that will "displace people like you and I."

See the goods at Curbed SF.
