Those opposed to redevelopment had little recourse in a pre-Civil Rights era; the neighborhood had scant political clout, and most residents were tenants, not homeowners.

The residents of the heavily African-American neighborhood had also, by no accident, been precluded from getting home loans that would have helped them buy their own homes. Areas with old buildings or the "threat of infiltration of foreign-born, negro or lower grade population" like the Fillmore were outlined in red, a warning against granting loans there. The sellers wouldn't sell to her. Although some black Fillmore residents were homeowners, redlining prevented most from borrowing money to rehabilitate aging buildings. As a result, many accepted buyout offers from the redevelopment agency and left the neighborhood.
A task force of health and fire inspectors was created following a report by Brown declaring there were ", violations daily in San Francisco of the State housing act and fire, building, health and safety codes. Improving public health and safety were central tenets of urban renewal, and tenants and city planners agreed that living conditions in many Fillmore buildings were suboptimal. The area was responsible for one-fifth of the City's tuberculosis cases.
Inspectors found trash accumulated in backyards and hallways, poorly maintained fire escapes and electrical wiring, and that many single-family flats had been illegally subdivided into boarding houses with single rooms. Beyond physical dangers, the report suggested that residents of the blighted zone were also falling victim to moral decay. There were "71 bars, 45 liquor stores, numerous smoke shops and magazine stands suspected of gambling joints and bookies in disguise," not to mention "'hotels' that accommodate members of the 'world's oldest profession.
Rebuilding the Fillmore from scratch would also beautify the City, the report asserted, noting that the area's architecture was a hodgepodge of styles. The report stated that many buildings within the blight zone could be rehabilitated, but City Attorney John J. In and , two successive City Attorneys found that the CCRA didn't permit the Board of Supervisors to control rents, set aside new housing for displaced residents, or prevent racial discrimination within redevelopment zones.
When it came to resettling Fillmore residents, Morgan A. Gunst, the SFRA's first chairman, was unsentimental: For months, the SFRA opposed non-discrimination policies, citing concerns that enforcing equality would discourage private investment. Henderson, the lone African-American agency commissioner, dissented. In May , the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution condemning housing segregation; the redevelopment agency "agreed to follow the Board's recommendation," reported the Chronicle.
After the earthquake and fire, displaced residents and merchants shifted westward, transforming Fillmore St. An influx of Japanese-Americans concentrated north of Geary; synagogues, kosher butchers, bakeries and eateries signified a bustling Jewish community. A substantial number of Filipino, Mexican and Russian immigrants also lived in the district, making it one of the city's most-integrated neighborhoods.
After African-Americans emigrated from the southeastern US to urban centers seeking work, San Francisco's black population went from 4, in to 43, in Many of these newcomers took jobs in the region's bustling waterfront and shipbuilding industries. Because of discriminatory housing practices, and housing that became available after the forced relocation of Japanese-Americans into internment camps, many black arrivals gravitated to the Fillmore. By the s, some Fillmore homeowners were buying homes in the suburbs. Thanks to the G.

Please try again later. A Long Overdue Release. Audio CD Verified Purchase.
There is finally an official release of The Who concert at the Fillmore East! It is long overdue, released officially a little over fifty years after the event. For Who fans this recording is a must, although I suspect if you are a Who fan you already have this recording in bootleg form. For others, it is a great piece of rock music and contains unforgettable rock music.
The Who has rarely been captured with the ferocity found in this recording. This concert has long been a mainstay in the bootleg music community. These bootleg releases varied considerably in sound quality and selection, and, as in this release,consisted of either the April 5th or April 6th concert or a combination of both. The highlight of this finally! Word was that this concert was destined for legitimate release back in the day.
For whatever reason it never saw the official light of day. Maybe the band felt that the entire concert was not up to par. Perhaps it was not officially released for sound quality reasons; even with all the magic that can be applied in the remastering process now, the play back in this cd still has a unfinished quality. It is unique, even for a band as raw and energetic as The Who once was.
Post-War Redevelopment Kicks Off In California
The Who were at their prime and in top form. He played as a mad-man, a demon possessed, and the solos are driven and, in an odd way, mesmerizing. Much of this verbal banter are left out in bootleg releases but available in this release. The intensity of the playing can be attributed, in part at least, from the fact that they were tired, exasperated, and, charitably put, ticked-off. This particular recording came a few days after the assassination of Martin Luther King. There was electricity in the air, and that urgency is plainly evident in the recording.
This is The Who at their best. I've long had the bootleg recording of the April 5th show. Here's the second night, minus some of the political commentary from the first night and Roger's wrong verse in Boris The Spider. This is the most intriguing and under-represented period of this great band and it's wonderful to have more material come out like this. There's a brief commentary in the liner notes and there's not a lot of photos or art in the package, but you get great stereo soundboard recordings of The Who before they were the super group, selling out stadiums and the like.
