. But the six-story development still faces a key obstacle: activists who are frustrated that the developers have not set aside any units as affordable for low-income families.
Edward Johnson, a Wesson spokesman, had no comment Monday when contacted by The Times. Stacey Brenner, who is listed in city documents as a consultant for developer Mark Gabay and the company District Square LLC, did not respond to multiple messages. The debate over District Square comes six months after the City Council approved a 725-unit residential project in Chinatown that had. Renters rights’ groups opposed that development, saying it would spur other landlords in that neigbhorhood to increase rents in their own buildings.
A project filled exclusively with market-rate apartments “can drive up rents and have an indirect displacement effect and make housing even less affordable for people in the community,” she said. Target and Ralphs dropped out and Wesson, looking to rescue the development, backed additional loans for District Square. One Wesson staffer, who happened to be Gabay’s brother-in-law, worked on a plan to tap the city’s parking meter funds — an idea that was later abandoned.
