Muni Wi-Fi Powers Hope at San Francisco Housing Project
Muni Wi-Fi Powers Hope at San Francisco Housing Project –:
SAN FRANCISCO — The Westside Courts is a bleak concrete housing project in the city’s Western Addition where violence is closer than a high-speed net connection, and one resident’s first steps online include plans to create a memorial for the people who’ve died here.
Last month, volunteers turned on a novel broadband network in this 135-unit block, throwing a digital lifeline to Emma Casey and other tenants. Using a refurbished PC she picked up for $100, the 47-year-old mother of two adult children is now going online to help her son find a job, get health information and, she says, pay tribute to neighbors who’ve met with violent or untimely deaths.
