The Chinatown community is feeling blindsided by news of a proposed sober living facility. Now the mayor is acknowledging the lack of communication and assuring the public no plans have been finalized.
Eva Lee, chairperson for the Chinatown Merchant's Association says she learned about Mayor London Breed's proposal last week by reading about it in a newspaper.
"It couldn't have happened at a worse time, in the middle of Chinese New Year," said the lifelong Chinatown resident. "I was alarmed. It was a little unsettling."
