A land dispute in San Francisco turned violent. The fight is over who controls a strip of land one block long near 22nd and Harrison streets. No one is certain who owns it, and there is no agreement on how it should be used.

Mission Greenway has other ideas for the former Southern Pacific right of way. So do other nonprofits.

“The obvious use would be open space – a park or something like that,” said a San Francisco resident.These strips over the many years have been divided into dozens of trusts across the country – some people don’t even know they own some of this. And the city of San Francisco has no legal option whatsoever in deciding what happens out here.

“She kind of came up and gave me a body check – kind of bounced into me,” said Rucker. “The four of them had their cameras out, and I knocked one of the cameras out of her hand … and she came in and gave me a punch in the jaw.”The land is in Supervisor Hillary Ronen’s district. A spokesman for Ronen said she has offered to bring the two sides together to be a peace negotiator.
