The City of San Francisco
On June 7, 2011, the [[San Francisco Board of Supervisors]] voted 11-0 to approve the project. The project would create 3,000 permanent jobs, and 2,000 construction jobs.<ref>{{cite news |first=will |last= kane|title=S.F. approves Treasure Island plan |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/06/08/MNN71JQVU3.DTL|newspaper=sfgate |date=June 8, 2011|accessdate=June 8, 2011}}</ref> Treasure and Yerba Island are home to 1,800 residents, who have access to a commercial area, restaurants, schools, community organizations, event venues, sporting clubs and athletic leagues.{{When|date=December 2022}}<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://sf.gov/departments/city-administrator/treasure-island-development-authority/about |title=About Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands | Treasure Island Development Authority}}</ref> Construction of the large development started in March 2016.<ref name="sfexaminer.com"/>
==Criticisms==
Critics of the project say the island's soil might be toxic because it is a former Navy base.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Lagos |first=Marisa |date=15 February 2014 |title=Is Treasure Island toxic?

After the city of San Francisco initially approved the project in 2011, a group called "Citizens for a Sustainable Treasure Island", led by then-former city supervisor [[Aaron Peskin]], filed a lawsuit against the city and the developer, out of concern that the project's impact on environment and traffic had not been properly reviewed.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title = At Last, Thousands of New Housing Units on the Way in SF|url = http://www.spur.org/blog/2014-12-10/last-thousands-new-housing-units-way-sf|website = [[San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association|SPUR]]|accessdate = 2015-11-01|last = Wang|first = Kristy|date = 2014-12-10}}</ref> The courts rejected the complaint, with the California Supreme Court declining an appeal in October 2014.<ref name=":1"/>
