There’s concern about an imbalance between intensifying land uses without additional amenities, such as sidewalks, greenery, grocery stores, public spaces, and transit.  “People are sort of shell-shocked,” commented Katherine Doumani, Dogpatch Neighborhood Association member. “The Eastern Neighborhoods Planspecifically said that the critical elements of San Francisco complete neighborhoods include public amenities and that funding will be provided for this. None of that has been addressed.”
