  1. I believe John Tran is part of the power pedalers, I am a tenant at a house he is planning to evict increasing the housing crisis in San Francisco this is a letter of concern from one of our roomates here at the house:

    Hi John,

    This is Ivy Anderson, one of the 7 tenants of the Apollo House (20 Apollo Street).

    From what we have learned by talking to Ryan, the broker from One West Bank, your purchase of the house is still in escrow. We have been working with a number of neighborhood groups to gather the funding the buy the house ourselves and want to find any way we can to work with you to convince you to back out of this deal.

    This is our long term home and we are unwilling to leave. We are all long term residents of San Francisco who are being quickly priced out of this city because we chose to work in the arts, education, or non-profit world. We are all working actively to better this city: for work, I run a community garden right here in Bayview on Third and Palou, providing environmental education to neighborhood youth. It does not pay much, but I chose to do this work because it is important to me and to the community. If I lose this home, I will likely not be able to continue living in San Francisco. Hundreds of Bayview youth will no longer have access to garden space to learn in; dozens of Bayview residents will no longer have access to the free, organic produce I help them grow. I am one of seven roommates with a story like this one. Two of our roommates are low-income immigrants who work as artists- for them this could be an issue of remaining in the U.S.

    We would love to be able to work with you, but we are also willing to make this process as difficult as possible for you, by fighting eviction through any means necessary.

    I can see by your Facebook that you too care about this city- your activism with AIDS/LifeCycle is commendable. I personally have raised thousands of dollars for AIDS Walk over the years. You and I could be allies, not enemies. You could back out of this deal for the sake of supporting fellow San Franciscans who believe in a better, more beautiful, and more just world.

    Or you could follow through with this purchase and invite a lot more stress into your own life.

    Sincerely,
    Ivy Anderson
