Yerba Buena is the shameful accof how the elderly residents and small of South of Market were forced out of their community--of how the seniors and the lawyers fought back--and how they would "negotiated" (read "limited") victory. But what next? Once the convention center is built, San Francisco still faces a frightening economic future because of Yerba Buena's ufinancial impact. Overwhelming evidence suggests that the cost sould strip the municipal treasury, force the city to float bonds beyond its means of repayment and drastically raised property taxes.
