More affordable housing options are coming to San Francisco's Mission District.
One of the project's developers says dreaming big made this combined community space come to fruition.
"This project would not be here today if, collectively, we did not have the audacity to dream about what could be and should be," said Luis Granados, the CEO of the Mission Economic Development Agency.The mayor was introduced by another mayor, though his title is somewhat ceremonial. Roberto Hernandez is known as the"Mayor of the Mission.
Breed referenced her childhood in the city while agreeing with Hernandez on the potential impact of affordable housing. "What was happening to people in the Mission actually happened to people that I grew up with in the Fillmore, Western Addition," said Breed."And it was important to him, and this community, that we don't repeat the same mistakes of the past."
