waste other than endanger. i don't want envy daughter to be exposed to that or i taped mayor ed lee's speech at the recent off ramp the library and i was so expressed we want to make the bayview a better place. if that's a homeless warehouse the way to go about it making this neighborhood a better neighborhood i don't think so. i would like you to remove the address and location from this grant proposal and table this decision until the community has the chance to have more input. we don't need more homeless beds in the bayview >> thank you. next speaker,

please. >> hi, i'm samantha i'm nervous i've never done this before. i used to be homeless for about a year and the only reason i was able to not become homeless was because of the program affordable housing. and i don't see that here. i think that there. >> need for more homeless shelters it's not in the bayview but it needs to be open for discussion as to whereabouts in the city and there's got to be more programs on the homeless for them. so that's all i have to is. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> supervisors good afternoon. i'm robert i'm a bayview resident. i'm here to express my

opposition to the homeless shelter. i was going to talk about the 17 month lapse the deplete and the deception. i'm going to talk about the dangers of the building. within the requirements of safety regulations raw materials used for manufacturing and destruction maybe stored on site and may include chemical and explosive or flammable materials that's unquote. now to remind everybody in 1996 a factory lifted a whole warehouse completely destroyed a complete block and completely destroyed the park which is four

blocks away from mother brown's. several people were killed and more than 20 people were injured and the blast stroibd 1 hundred and 25 arts and studios. so which of you is going to make the call to the victims' families of a similar blast that god hoping we don't want to happen and which of you is going to say i could have prevented this but i didn't >> thank you. next speaker, please . i'm going to call a few more speakers up (calling names) thank you, ma'am >> thank you for calling me. i'm carl listen. i'm actually a volunteer every week at the soup kitchen.

so i. familiar with serving the homes i'm not an advocate but at the same time i'm here to listen to what everyone's saying. the first gentleman that was here he didn't seem quieted prepared with the data you know that he has. and putting this homeless warehouse together he didn't even know if there's going to be a kitchen or not. so that alone i guess there's a lack of planning to begin with. there's a rush for this to be implemented because there's a budget. that's was granted by state to the city. that alone i think is not a good thing to act on a especially will i if you don't have a plan i work with catholic charities

and they it work hard for serving the poor. i want to volunteer at mother brown's in the near future but at the same time, i think there are better places in bayview if you really want to have this one hundred bed shelter for the homeless. i think it has to be planned well, i don't think the location is a good place because of what has been brought on earlier before me. i oppose this. thank you >> tends to prove hyper (calling names). >> ma'am, i think other people have been waiting and i think -

>> i spoke to my supervisor. >> i'm asking you to be fair to others if you could please and make sure i'm in there. >> i will thank you. next speaker >> i'm tanya i'm a resident of the bayview point for almost 50 years. i'm a marine corp. veteran i served my country and came back to the bayview. if not here y where the homeless are in our neighborhood they deserve the reporter. i'm disappointed that my supervisor is not here she stays long enough to speak but she doesn't work in my area. the people who provide services

give their hearts and the people who need the services need expansion. for everyone who speaks and says they have a business we are human beings and we deserve the respect of our neighbors and our country and our communities. so is that homeless are going to show up because they have beds no they're there. the police are called by united council because we're not to engaged when criminal attack that were we don't engage. they support the unit council because the united council makes their jobs that much easier. because we take care offer people that are beaten down and destitute. is it may not be today but someday you'll need help and i'm

going to call a few more names. the woman from the naacp that was here earlier please come forward (calling names) if people can lineup there's more. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm a commissioner for the south east community that is the only commission in the city and county of san francisco that services a neighborhood and that neighborhood would be district 10. i did not come here to educate the new community persons that want to see boyfriend transition but for those of who who don't know most of our district meetings are at 6 o'clock p.m. i've been covering the meeting on an average of 15ometers per

>> my name is gloria i live in the bayview. i am not against the hometowns or homeless shelters i'm actually for it. navigate i think we need more homeless shelters in other areas, however, i do have an issue about making those decisions without diagonal with the community. i think that is not the democratic way. and it sets a bad precedent for future issues like this or other issues. so for that reason i don't think - i think you should not vote for this. and again, i want to reiterate that i'm not immense homeless shelters. i'm 80 years old i do have concerned for the elderly.

there's going to be a building a low income shelter put into the 59 hundred property which is going to start construction in december so i do have concerned for those elderly too >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm the include of the mull i multiple purchase senior services. i try to live by the thought but for the grace of god go i. i think about the numbers of homeless members that our agency has seen you don't know i don't care if it's 5 hundred a 80 hundred i can argue about the numbers those homeless people are out there and there are many, many homeless seniors who were looking for us for housing who are sleeping in chairs who

have a lot of medical issues we have 80 people right now and you're adding 20. when i heard about this how fabulous the city is going to bring a homeless shelter here. and we turn around and are against it. the director has found a way and we can work together as a community to among this a great location. it actually is it's two blocks from third street and everybody is saying oh, let's investigate. nobody has anything in hand but this. and we're building this sincerely e senior units and there are more than 20 needing housing. i've been in bayview for 33

will find a way to pass this. i can tell by the initial person that proposed it they're going to do a good job. we are talking about generating jobs and human labor and creating, you know, pathways through film industry and care industry and the human services agency in san francisco will benefit from this extension of mother brown's that's been a life lion for my husband and i with our homeless situation. i can only say their reporter full people and welcoming people. there's no increase of homelessness there it's a way to stabilizes the area.

that specific block is in no danger of any huge changes. there's a vacant lot there's a residential units kitty-corner and, of course, there's the industries right across on the side. it's all around it's just a community and let the community prosper >> i'm a case manager for oak houses. i've been living in the boyfriend for over 53 years. there ain't nothing i ain't done that the homeless are trying to do now. i've been as to the penitentiary and back. if you don't do it if we don't -
