Vandalism Targets San Francisco's Great Highway Park Project Again

New graffiti opposing the park was removed as officials increase patrols ahead of the April 12 opening.

Graffiti with anti-park messages, including 'Gentrify' and 'Can't afford to live here anymore,' was discovered on March 24, 2025, near Noriega Street and the Great Highway site.
This marks the second vandalism incident this month, following the defacement of a mural by Emily Fromm shortly after the highway's closure to cars on March 14.
Volunteers and city workers promptly removed the graffiti by Sunday evening, with park rangers stepping up patrols in response to the incidents.
The park project, approved by voters in November 2024, has faced growing opposition, including lawsuits and criticism over gentrification and traffic concerns.
Despite the backlash, the park remains on schedule to open on April 12, 2025, with ongoing public engagement through a naming contest and community events.
