PRESERVE SF JAPANTOWN!

The SF planning commission will hear the japantown better neighborhood plan this thursday at City Hall room 400 at 2:30pm, and YOU should be there to speak out against it. some of the reasons the current better neighborhood plan is no good:

• buildings will rise and jtown will be overshadowed
• rent will increase by over 100% and drive out the small businesses that make jtown unique
• japan center and garage will be closed for at least 2 years and there will be nothing to draw people to jtown
• plan has not been thoroughly discussed in our community (there have been a number of meetings but not enough community representation! this is our bad- and it's time to take action!)

read the full plan: http://www.sfgov.org/site/planning_index.asp?id=57149

we are simply calling for more time to create a plan that will ensure the preservation of our cultural and historical buildings/businesses and the future of our japantown!

The planning commission hearing is:
Thursday, May 28
CITY HALL room 400
2:30pm
We are 2nd on the agenda

If you can not attend the hearing, please contact the planning commission and ask them to not endorse the plan as is.
