“The Jewish museum’s closure is a terrible blow to the critical mass of Yerba Buena, which was always intended to be the city’s primary cultural center. It really hurts the whole downtown recovery,” said John Elberling, president of TODCO Group (Tenants and Owners Development Corp.), a nonprofit affordable housing developer and advocacy group headquartered in the neighborhood. The Yerba Buena Gardens — two blocks of public parks surrounded by housing, hotels, restaurants and the Moscone Convention Center that are the neighborhood’s centerpiece — were “terribly underused” this year, Elberling said. “We’re just not bringing people downtown to come to events and activities in the gardens.” Read the full article in the San Francisco Chronicle linked below.?? https://lnkd.in/gv623rAG #TODCO #SanFranicsco #AffordableHousing #Nonprofit #DowntownRecovery #SouthofMarket #YerbaBuenaGardens

An Untold Story: Alice Street Community Gardens — A Secret SOMA Treasure "In 1971 the first tenants of newly built Clementina Towers public housing found themselves in the midst of a redevelopment bulldozer wasteland, surrounded by the barren ruins of their one-time Yerba Buena home. Then, inspired by the first Earth Day in 1970, Walter Knox and his fellow residents decided to build their own community garden across Clementina Street on a 14,000 sq. ft. fenced off empty lot that had not yet been paved over by the Redevelopment Agency..."
