Despite OccupySF rejecting the city's bland offer to move the camp to an abandoned 16th and Mission lot last week, the folks in City Hall remain undeterred.  With that, Mission District NIMBYs are emerging from their self-important caves of boring to make sure they're consulted first:

“It's a vacant site, so filling it would be good, and it would mean more eyes on the street,” [Supervisor Jane Kim] said. “But I think that if it does happen, we need to have some community meetings first.”

If they do, they're likely to get an earful.

“It's insane,” said resident and community activist Roberto Hernandez. “Not one meeting to ask us what we might think. We have enough problems here in the Mission.”

Hernandez added that he and others in the neighborhood support Occupy but “this movement was intended to be in front of people who make decisions, not tucked away.”

While I'm sure we can agree that letting the Mayor move the camp to Mission Street's no-man's-land might not be in the best interest of the protest's visibility, it's hella lame that some randoms think leveraging bureaucracy to strip the movement of self-determination is the way to go about stopping it.
