10:34 am
meeting people who live here not the rich little kids were running to get stone and high in dolores park. i think it is an invasion of the 18th street corridor. inds (indiscernible)we don't walk down the sidewalk anymore because restaurants have taken over. i live on the corner, i know them all. there is drug dealing out the window. my daughter was born 15 years ago there. there is no ordinance being of help. there is no regulation. the noise violation is unbelievable. the over density population of dolores park is exceeding any kind of limited its existing. we give our care to money.

and evil this over evil that, perhaps it it would help if we came to the realization that there is evil in the world and it stems from a worldwide sickness of the human heart; sickness stemming from broken hearts and broken dreams, misery, despair, what a heartbreak for inanity. instead of pointing fingers of evil a perhaps we should just throw our arms around one another worldwide and have ourselves a little fashion cry for the tragedy that is engulfing the human spirit. thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors my name is douglas -- in today's examiner, there is an article titled
10:37 am

10:38 am
obvious to me that so many of those patients had been told, you come to general hospital. you will get free care. there was no mention of medi-cal. let's put it this way. if you want to help the poor people, maybe you ought to do the full audit of the department of public health; and then you will see how much money has been wasted since 1989, and you can cannot calculate that you guys have been sitting here not doing your job. also i would like to know how much money the mayor was able to collect while he was in china for the support of the america's cup since you came up empty on treasure island and the other location. let's asking how much he got for the america's cup. that is something for -- thank you. >> president chiu: next speaker.

10:47 am
>> we came to seven straight about 10 years ago. -- 7th street about 10 years ago. the environment is huge. it is stronger than willpower. surrounding yourself with artists, being in a culture where artists are driving, and where a huge amount of them is a healthy environment. >> you are making it safer. push, push. that is better. when i start thinking, i see it actually -- sometimes, i do not see it, but when i do, it is usually from the inside out. it is like watching something
10:48 am
being spawned. you go in, and you begin to work, excavate, play with the dancers, and then things began to emerge. you may have a plan that this is what i want to create. here are the ideas i want to play with, but then, you go into the room, and there maybe some fertile ideas that are becoming manifest that are more interesting than the idea you had initially set out to plan. so there has to be this openness for spontaneity. also, a sense that regardless of the deadline, that you have tons of time so the you can keep your creativity alive and not cut it off and just go into old habits. it is a lot like listening. really listening to watch what is going to emerge. i like this thing where you put your foot on his back. let's keep it.
10:49 am
were your mind is is how you build your life. if you put it in steel or in failure, it works. that works. it is a commitment. for most artists, it is a vacation and a life that they have committed themselves to. there is this notion that artists continue to do their work because of some kind of the external financial support. if that was taken away, artists would still do their art. it is not like there is a prerequisite for these things to happen or i will not do it. how could that be? it is the relationship that you have committed to. it is the vocation. no matter how difficult it gets, you are going to need to produce your art. whether it is a large scale or very small scale. the need to create is going to
10:50 am
happen, and you are going to have to fulfill it because that is your life. >> if you haven't had a chance to see the stadium and the wonderful progress so far. it's absolutely breathtaking. also as a great symbol of hope on the regionalism that we all hope that we can be engaged for event for the future. today we talk about solidarity around the super bowl. there is no greater place to have it here than in this valley. we have the very best weather and we have the very best people and company's to support the event.
10:51 am

10:54 am
benefit. we are along the border from san jose. it stands to benefit wah as well as the region. we have the most important economies in the world. this building, this facility and this team and this team are a regional asset to the economy. to bring the super bowl here would be a regional effort with regional benefits. we are excited about it and happy to participate and looking forward to our hotels, restaurants, facilities for people who are visiting san francisco and santa clara and other cities around the area. super bowl 50, i don't care, we'll take either one. we have a great team put together to make that happen. it will take a lot of collaboration and we in san jose as well as san francisco and santa clara are committed to making it happen.
