last week on the news television, we watched angry young men throw bricks off a roof. 60 minutes, one year or more ago, interviewed for or five young people who were paid to sign linda green to expedite mortgages and foreclosures and evictions of family. which one was more damaging? now we go back to my neighborhood, south beach marina. a rent increase of 10%, 8.9% last year, 9.5% this year for it is not good for families, young folks, old folks, especially for the neighborhood. we had 7.4% voted in the last

election. market rate apartments are not homes. they are vehicles for financial people to make money. as long as we have that, we are going to have a disaster in the apartment from. what we need to do is cost of living. the real estate developers want no regulations. it is fair to all. the investors get a cost-of- living increase. the people that live here have a stable environment. why don't we say if you have 200 unit condos, you have to bundle it with a 200-unit apartment and 200 lower income? with that, i have to say good bye for now. it has been a long day. thank you. president chiu: thank you.

next speaker. >> i have just come to talk to the board of supervisors. you probably have something on your table from me. i had an altercation with some officers back in april of 2010. i just hope that you have been -- that we can settle this because i want to go on with my life. i just want to get this over with so i can go on with my life. i would like you to sign the settlement if you have it on your table. i have a hearing on the 27 thrifts -- on the 27th. i just want to go on with my life. thank you. president chiu: next speaker.

>> i have made a few comments here and i would like to highlight some comments i made in the past. two or three months ago, a man incenses the was charged with murder of twin brothers from stone mountain, georgia. i met paul and work with them in the san francisco public defender's office from june 1- august 2003 and met his twin brother while visiting new orleans. paul visited me in 2005, came by and spent the night. we made out and i found out that he had contracted hiv-aids from me.

i wanted to first of all make those comments. i want to explain why i made the comments. paul is originally from kenya. his parents emigrated to the united states. he is not happy with citizenship and voting in the last election for president barack obama. because of his vote, it was legal and it created some problems. he was part of the u.s. military so he got to this service. i just wanted to make these comments to you now and address the issue of my going to hastings law school and the bar passage report sometime later this month. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker.

>> for the national football league, the game of football is about more than making plays on the field. it is about making them off the field and more. our commitment to fans and the community that support us does not end when the final seconds ticked off the clock. that is the beginning of a letter by commissioner roger good health. -- goodell, that you all have a copy of, including the mayor. "the nfl has always been about football and community." if this was true, why would the nfl loan the san francisco forty-niners $200 million to

leave a struggling community? i am outraged by the hypocrisy and then the mayor has been introduced here that we are going to try and get as much as we possibly can out of the 49 hours before they leave? i am saying no. san francisco needs to stand up against the 49ers and if the board and the mayor are too scared to, i say that this letter is going to be posted on a big billboard next to what the forty-niners and the nfl have done. there will be no super bowl celebration in santa clara. over my dead body. president chiu: next speaker.
