> TICD is a partnership with Stockbridge Capital Group, Wilson Meany, and Lennar Corporation. The three developers are overseeing the roughly $6 billion redevelopment of Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island with housing. Plans include new construction and the adaptive reuse of existing structures to produce retail, hotels, and offices surrounded by new public open space.
They say "public" buy what they mean is "public" to those authorized to be there. Eventually, they'll announce that you need a residence permit to park anywhere, and getting onto the island will include a $50 toll fee unless you have said permit. Everybody knows exactly what's going on here.
Isn't it ironic, though? SanFran built Alcatraz to contain the worst elements away from the city, now the wealthy are containing themselves to an island to avoid the filth that's taken over the city. The island even has its own power station, marina, and some open land that can be used for farming. Hmm.
