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?
