	Redevelopment was started early in WWII when future planning commissioners Morgan Gunst and Julia Porter formed the SF Planning and Housing Association (SFPHA). SFPHA published a number of influential studies, including the 1945 ''Blight and Taxes'', which first identified the Western Addition as a prime candidate for urban renewal, citing its poor health statistics, high delinquency rates and packing it with racially loaded metaphors: "[The Western Addition] is not white. It is gray, brown, and an indeterminate shade of dirty black ... it is an unfortunate blot," unlike the Marina District, which the same report described as "clean and bright".
