加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托县萨克拉门托市千人联署呼吁市中心铁路场项目惠及社区:市议会10月27日投票已推迟

位于加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托县萨克拉门托市的市中心铁路场(Railyards)开发项目引发社区利益之争。据当地工会介绍,要求更优社区利益方案的联署已超过1000人,市议会原定10月27日的投票已经推迟。
10月21日,数十名居民在旧市政厅外集会游行。联合酒店工会49分会(Unite Here Local 49)提出的诉求包括:项目至少25%为可负担住房、设一家杂货店、设立反流离失所基金,并为酒店与足球场运营岗位提供生活工资。该工会主席阿米尔·迪恩(Aamir Deen)代表集会者提出上述要求。现行规划中可负担住房比例约为6%。
市议员麦·万(Mai Vang)表示支持铁路场项目,但强调要建设「属于所有人的铁路场」,并支持推迟投票。项目预计使市中心规模翻倍,规划最多1万套住房、一个音乐场馆、一座体育场与三家酒店。68岁的南希·威廉姆斯(Nancy Williams)住在项目范围内的可负担住房,靠社保金支付房租,担心房价上涨后被迫搬离。开发商LDK Ventures未回应置评请求。市议会原定10月27日表决的是该项目的强化基础设施融资区安排。

Sacramento, Sacramento County, California: Over 1,000 Residents Petition for Community Benefits From Downtown Railyards Project; Council Vote Set for October 27 Delayed
A dispute over community benefits from the downtown Railyards development project in Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, has drawn a petition of more than 1,000 residents, according to a local union, and a City Council vote planned for October 27 has been delayed.
Dozens of residents rallied outside Old City Hall on October 21. Unite Here Local 49, whose president Aamir Deen voiced the demands, is seeking at least 25% affordable housing, a grocery store, an anti-displacement fund and living wages for operations workers at the proposed hotels and soccer stadium. Current plans call for about 6% affordable homes.
Councilwoman Mai Vang said she supports the Railyards project but wants “a railyard for all” and backed the delay. The project is expected to double the size of downtown, with up to 10,000 housing units, a concert venue, a stadium and three hotels. Nancy Williams, 68, who lives in affordable housing within the project area and pays rent with her Social Security check, fears being priced out. Developer LDK Ventures did not respond to a request for comment. The delayed October 27 vote concerned an enhanced infrastructure financing district for the project.
