The
RSA supports the Community Plan proposed by and for Richmond residents,
which is far more equitable, economically prudent, and environmentally
sensitive. The
Community Plan would create a magnificent public waterfront park,
preserve sacred sites on Ohlone ancestral land, and restore historic
Winehaven Village as a commercial, educational and cultural destination,
providing jobs for residents and revenue for the
city.
We are opposed to the massive luxury housing enclave planned on the last remaining public headland along San Francisco Bay that would destroy large portions of this ecologically important area. The development threatens Ohlone Sacred Places, public beach, rare habitat, including critical carbon reducing eelgrass, and public lands.
