»In which we do not participate in the community

The new vision for the Hayes Valley ("Market and Octavia") neighbourhood continues with adjustments to the six-year-old plan. The Planning Department is holding a community meeting on 23rd May to review and discuss the draft plan, as well as the (Draft) Environmental Impact Report.
Depending on which poster one sees, the meeting is either at the LGBT Center or at the Bahá'í Center, neither of which seems a particularly appealing place to visit.
The LGBT Center is an architectural excrescence at the corner of Octavia and Market: not only for the garish paint job, but for the horrid way in which the builders placed thoughtless modern extensions on the dilapidated Queen Anne rowhouses to make a garish Frankenstein of a building.
The Bahá'í Center sits on Valencia across from Zeitgeist. Why would one would choose to go to the former in lieu of the latter? Does the Tamale Lady visit the Bahá'í? Aha. I thought not. Does the LGBT have The Replacements or The Minutemen on the jukebox? In your face.
