the interior courtyards, this is not being discussed. and the master plan group, by the ownership. it is eligible and it could be considered a national park in the city and county of san francisco if people were starting to think about it in a different way. i am recommending that you take a look at it in terms of future space to turn into public parks. the current owner does not have a conditional use on and it could be leading to the lake in that neighborhood. it would be a prime piece of property. so please take this under consideration and public space is a key element to the city.

12:01 am
>> mark. >> good afternoon, i live on twentieth street. i have here to talk about the same conversation topic. i am hoping that we can reopen the public discourse on that. i have the impression that it was not really put in front of the people that use the park. i wanted to say that the people of san francisco have a history of being able to tackle problems like this creatively. i think if this problem was put to the people, it might have a better chance of getting a solution that everybody can live with. we all have to make sacrifices. in 1940, the people of san francisco voted to put up their
12:02 am
homes as collateral for the golden gate bridge that was completely funded by the people. i think adding private presence to the park makes a huge, lasting impression on the landscape. i think it is something that we all have to decide carefully. we will have people selling food, corporations selling food or what ever in the open spaces. i hope that we can reopen that discussion and make something happen. we all have to sacrifice on this. i agree. but i think we need to buy into the neighborhood and the people. >> is there any other general public comment? please come forward.
12:03 am
>> all right, go giants. my name is matthew troy, and i am here to speak in regards to the issue of the vendors. it is a bit of an ugly situation for all of us. i am in opposition to have any sanction the vendors and the park currently. some other people brought the idea of reopening the process. i think that is a good idea to take under consideration. i would also like to have the chance as well as the neighborhood to have the chance to work with the commission to come up with a better solution. the mission district of san francisco in general, the area
12:04 am
around the park, there is a lot of resources with the neighbors and the locals that we can come up with something. we need money, everyone needs money, but i think that there are other viable, creative solutions. and we can put all of this behind us. i would like to get something on the agenda for the next meeting , and we can present -- if you need numbers or ideas, i am willing to volunteer and put the time in. a lot of people say that we can do something creative, but i would like to have something a little bit more concrete for the next meeting. >> is there any other public comment and the general public comment?
