	As Alison Isbenberg details in her important book ''Designing San Francisco: Art, Land, and Urban Renewal in the City by the Bay'' (Princeton University Press: 2017), the neighborhood's suitability for a modernizing redevelopment project depended on selling city streets at a fraction of their actual value. This discounted transfer of property went hand in hand with the clearance of land and property rights using the Redevelopment Agency's power of eminent domain, and then subsequent sale of that same land to private investors at far below their market value.
