Scenes from the Plaza Party

By Tim Redmond

JUNE 14, 2014 — A festive crew took over the 16th and Mission BART plaza this afternoon, making a statement that a diverse community fears a big new development overlooking the Plaza will lead to displacement. It was hard to tell the activists from the people just hanging out in the open space in nice weather; as one speaker put it, many of the residents have small or SRO apartments, with no yard or outdoor space, so they use the BART Plaza.
