SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 – The battle to save the Flower Mart could become a very big deal in San Francisco politics.

We covered it in detail here. The issue frames in very clear terms one of the defining land-use questions in the city today: Are blue-collar jobs going to be displaced, freely and without any efforts by the city, in the name of creating office space for tech companies?

Is that what we want for the city? Does it actually make any economic sense?

The video description of the struggle is a great encapsulation of the issues, in just a few minutes. Check it out.
