The article <https://sfbayview.com/2021/03/i-thought-i-was-dying-my-apart...> you posted is quite interesting, actually.

I started skeptical, but by the end tended to believe Ashley Gjovik. So I don't know about Cher, and maybe Ashley kind-of got radicalized by her experience, but she does have a lot of evidence about the apartment issue.

Really worth reading. Lots of research. Data. Environmental impact reports. Kickbacks from developers to the city (<https://blogs.mercurynews.com/internal-affairs/2014/05/19/sa...>). All kinds of stuff. It's like The Wire.

It makes me look at urban redevelopment differently.

Also makes me think differently about "community investment" and such. How much of this is just bribes and protection money?
