In 2017, San Francisco designated six blocks of the Tenderloin
neighborhood as the Compton’s Transgender Cultural District. In the
first episode of APA’s podcast series No Small Stories, host
Lindsay Nieman and producer Kelly Wilson visit the area to learn
about how it’s fighting gentrification and displacement,
encouraging the city to rethink its approach to historical
preservation, and creating a safe, economically productive home for
the city’s transgender community. In their own words, district
cofounders Aria Sa’id and Honey Mahogany describe the challenges
and successes in launching the world’s first ever transgender
cultural district. Listeners also hear from transgender activist
Felicia Elizondo, San Francisco Planning Department senior planner
Shelley Caltagirone, and Carolina Morales, legislative director to
Supervisor Hillary Ronen. Each person's perspective adds critical
context and depth to a fascinating planning story.
