Supes want say in U.N. Plaza farmers market move

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors wants a say in the future of the decades-old U.N. Plaza farmers market.

Both supervisors spoke at a rally Wednesday in front of City Hall organized by the Tenderloin People’s Congress, a neighborhood volunteer group, to protest the move announced earlier this month. “I'm scratching my head as to why we would want to create a food desert in the middle of San Francisco that has been so remarkable and flourished for 42 years,” Peskin addressed the crowd on Wednesday. “We all know that United Nations has its challenges, but this is akin to bombing the village to save it.”

Don't blame Trey Lance for QB's tumultuous 49ers career The Niners' unsurprising but still jarring decision to trade Lance to the Dallas Cowboys shouldn't be an indictment on the former third overall pick The speed at which the project has moved ahead has had some questioning the process as well, and Peskin speculated at the rally that it might stem from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit coming to The City in mid-November.

“Generally they do some amount of public outreach … that has not happened in this case,” he told The Examiner. “So I’m assuming all roads lead to APEC.”
