I was surprised driving by the new condos being built on the corner of Mission and Cesar Chavez. The construction of these condos seems to be progressing quickly after a lot of controversy about the use of this site. Neighborhood housing activists were trying to force the city to build affordable housing on this site. The developer, who had already purchased the lot, just wanted approval from the city to develop the site. (History on the controversy at SocketSite and BeyondChron.)
