In Tony Bravo’s “45-foot-tall nude sculpture in SF sparking controversy,” Rebecca Camacho is quoted as saying “What is disappointing and confusing about this is the city allowing private money to come in and commandeer very public space.”  My visceral response to R-Evolution was very positive, and so is my visceral response to the idea that we could allow private money to come in and help very public space at Hallidie Plaza, where there is no ramp and no working elevator.  (People in wheelchairs had no access to an important press conference held there last year.  I have a picture of them at the bottom of the stairs they couldn't get up.)    And what about the public space where transit needs to go?  Could we use private money to salvage Muni and BART?  Could one of our billionaires make such a generous endowment that we could keep public transportation going on the interest of the endowment?

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
