Sometimes, publicly calling on city officials who've been slow to take action is the only way to get things done, but where's the public meeting? Where are the demonstrations? Where are the community and city leaders, taking to the streets, to denounce and rebuke the shooting and to rally the community to say that enough is enough?While Dennis Herrera never responded to residents' complaints, I'm pleased to say that Rebecca Prozan and Yvonne Mere of the City Attorney's office are now on the case and working with residents to clean this corner up. It's not just the market that's the problem, but it certainly is the center of much of the negative activity. Mendell Plaza, across the street, is also a hang-out with drug dealing and public drinking going on. Getting some focus on cleaning up Torino and that empty ramshackle building at Mendell and Oakdale will go a long way to making this, which happens to be where my own MUNI stop is located, safer.
