792 Capp St.
I am in opposition to the plan to destroy and replace 792 Capp St. I have lived across the street from that building for more than 35 years. This is a bad idea and will not benefit any of the residents of this historical street. Thank You, Charlene Richter

792 Capp Street Discretionary Review

As long time Mission residents and business owners, we have witnessed the direct and indirect harm that gentrification has on a community.

As long time Mission residents and business owners, we have witnessed the direct and indirect harm that gentrification has on a community. We ourselves have lost more than 30 friends and neighbors to no-fault and Ellis evictions. Most were forced to leave the city, three of the ones that stayed live in vans on the streets, three couples divorced and all suffered the trauma of having their lives uprooted from their community within short notice. Some are so traumatized they cannot come back to the city to visit us. In all of the situations, they were evicted for speculation as the land around their homes was gentrified. If the 792 Capp Street project is allowed to move forward in it<U+2019>s current proposal, it will set forth the precedent that land owners can pull a viable single family residence from the market for speculation and every family, many multigenerational, in single family residences in the Mission district and the entire city will be at risk at a time when we are proposing housing our displaced families in school gymnasiums like a third world country, so that the children can continue their education. Speculation and greed are the name of the game and Lucas Eastwood has made his intentions clear in the way that he has held a vital family residence in a great time of need off of the rental market to provide a rental property for corporations. In great time of need for affordable housing, he wants to develop 4 luxury units that will not provide housing to our Mission families but will instead put them and the entire community in radius around it at risk. Neighbors and businesses will be displaced with impossible rent increases where allowed and receive notices of Ellis Act and no-fault eviction where rent increases can<U+2019>t get the job done. We attended a community meeting with Lucas Eastwood where he chose the the Mission Police Station as the venue, knowing that such a location would be an intimidating and fearful space to many of the neighbors of color. But with the tight knit support of one another, many did attend and spoke of the trauma, grief and mental health issues that the gentrification of the Mission has created in the community. They pleaded with Mr. Eastwood to take the longview and consider future effects on the community and to families in single family residences throughout the Mission. They asked him make a compromise to mitigate the harm and yet still make a profit. And the fact that he has not asked for continuance to amend the project, says what many feared. Lucas Eastwood is in this to wring maximum profit from this piece of land and is agnostic to the contributions to the systematic dismantling of the Mission community and it<U+2019>s diverse culture his project will bring. Please deny this project. Larisa Pedroncelli Kelly Hill 1875 Mission Streetshow more

To the Planning Commission, I am unable to attend the hearing on Thursday, May 17th (item #15), but I would like to express my strong support for the development of a four unit building at 792 Capp Street. The home is currently vacant, is not historic, there have been no evictions, was not rent controlled, and is one block from the Mission public transit corridor.

Hello Planning Commission, I am writing in regards to the upcoming hearing for 792 Capp Street (2017- 001283CUA).

Dear Friends: I am writing with hope to persuade each of you to vote to preserve the building at 792 Capp Street.

I live next door to this building, and I would like to ask you, in considering this application, to take into account three important factors. 1) How sound is the current building? In the last five years, the dwelling has had its foundation redone and been completely re-roofed, according to documents on file with the Building Department (attached). The building is more than habitableit<U+2019>s in excellent condition. As you<U+2019>re aware, allowing demolition in this case would set a precedent, opening the door to any other speculator who chose to destroy sturdy current housing for the sake of profit. 2) Affordability. The current plan to replace this building provides luxury housing only. San Francisco<U+2019>s famed diversity relies on affordable, stable housing stock. The Mission District, once lively with Latino families, businesses, and artists, has seen a progressive fading of its character. Although there is talk that creating luxury units brings down housing prices overall, no one can come up with a case where this has worked in under 15 or 20 years. To bring this up is to say to current residents: Get lost, but in a couple decades come on back to where you grew up. It won<U+2019>t be community anymore, but speculators will have reaped their profits. 3) Design. The beautiful block where this home is located seems to have found its way into tourist guidebooks. I have seen many visitorscouples, families, and larger groupsstop at the corner, look into a guidebook, and pull out cell phones or cameras to photograph the classic San Francisco buildings on this block of Capp. I urge you to look at the attached photographs of this block, showing the architectural context and the painfully out-of-place proposed construction. As a resident of the Mission District for over 30 years, and a next-door neighbor to this space, I urge you to reject this application and draw a clear line for other speculators to see. Thank you. Respectfully, Elizabeth Bell 3258 23rd St. #3 San Francisco, CA 94110show more
