The couple that bought Presidio Terrace in San Francisco are speaking out against Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

A Bay Area couple paid $90,000 for a private street in San Francisco in 2015.
In 2017, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a former resident of the street called Presidio Terrace, wrote a letter to city leaders urging them to reverse the sale.
City supervisors voted to overturn the sale.

Presidio Terrace is one of the most exclusive streets in San Francisco.

Thirty-five mega mansions sit behind a stone wall that surrounds most of the development. A black SUV with a private security company guards the entrance, which is closed to the public.

I would not have guessed bureaucracies still held surprises for me. But this one did," Feinstein, who lived at Presidio Terrace for more than 20 years, said.

Cheng is still grappling with the reverse of the sale.

The couple is suing the City of San Francisco to win their street back. They launched a GoFundMe page in January with the goal of raising $50,000 for their legal defense.
