""We're not stupid. We're not asleep. We're going to act and act until we get our meeting room," said Kathy Howard, a longtime community activist."

A public meeting room adjacent to the Shirley Chisholm Village, an affordable housing complex in San Francisco, has been locked for over a year after the project's completion.

The developer stated that access depends on securing a nonprofit tenant to manage the space, which contradicts residents' expectations of immediate availability.
