Interior Secretary Doug Burgum insists Presidio will not be mass developed amid resident concerns

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the federal government will not sell or mass-develop any part of San Francisco’s Presidio, a 1,500-acre parkland and former Army base. He made the assurance after attending a closed session of the Presidio Trust board meeting. Residents voiced concerns during public comment about possible development proposals and rising rents, amid President Donald Trump’s moves to reduce park operations and replace six board members.
