vote limit increase in you vote no. you don't want to make the change. i'm here with lewis former city attorney and proponent of prop b 82 >> thank you. >> and joined by on opponent of the measure thank you. i'd like to start with opening comments that from each of you ms. renee your opening statement. thank you to the league. i think we all agree the san francisco waterfront is a truly special place. and if you do we're asking the voters to, yes on b and, yes open b is support by is sierra club 78s be neighborhood alliance and affordable housing alliance and others citizens. prop b is simple and scared u straightforward it says waterfront height limits should

be enforced and when the planner of the ports want to exceed those limits they should put the question to the voters. the yes on b campaign is really part of the out growth full only 8 washington we'll have a high-rise twice the size of the old embarcadero freeway and fortunately over 67 of the voters said no, we don't want a wall on of the or high towers but proposition g or b says if the planners seek to exceed the height limits then the voters have a changing chance to say yes or no it's a vote and choice by the voters and mr. valenzuela 10 a statement >> thank you to the league for having you will say here today

first of all, i'm a volunteer in and out a developer no are developers are involved in our support of the no on b campaign we're a coalition of community activists my environmentalists and small property owner and housing advocates. we're in the middle of our greatest affordability in san francisco and the problem with prop b is takes the complexities of the balance and boils it down this is a concern we should be discussing how to build more affordable housing but we are talking heights limitsthanasia that's an important discussion but it leaves out the public benefits that may come out of the progress one or two tall buildings may gives a

significant amount of affordable housing this proposition could kill 6 hundred affordable housing units and 20 millions of housing fees and cause significant problems for the ports so far as developing and fixing the problems with the port lands. we're in the enforcement of the nova valley club and the indemnification and a host of others >> mr. valenzuela 10 bring up the perspectives of job how do you feel about that. >> there are 3 issues that were brought up first, the ballot box planning no, it isn't if the planners don't exceed the height limits no problem only if they do if you look at san francisco history since 19th street 68 when the bureau ton act there's

been 18 other ballot measures effecting the front the ball was effected and the hunters point shipyard we're talking about port property that is owned by the public. and if you take a look at port property it's held in public trust and the housing agreement is a red herring because as a matter of fact, if port property is held in publicly trust you can't build housing there and number 3 if that were done there's nothing in prop b that says you can't have a project being approved so the howard's altering argument is truly a red herring and we've seen the kind of housing the port as proposed high-rise luxury condo and now

they're saying only building low income housing a i'd like to see it and b that's not going to happen >> mr. valenzuela 10 any comments. >> yes. the housing is not a red herring, in fact, if you look at what the port is considering and the project in the pipeline if you follow the draft sheets that's inclusionary housing on site the problem is this is getting boiled down to if the voters like it that's great but developers can come to the ballot box with a specific or gentle thought and in the 0 voters sigh yes, no chance for mitigation under sequa or the planning process to hopefully get parts for example, an increase in affordable housing

in exchange for heights when it the park going to be developed at the front of the process or backdoor back is the affordable housing going to be done in the beginning or at the at the end e end so there's quite a few of the challenges we're not talking about the of her building or them changing their bulk and height but off the waters edge they use the word welfare because they want people to think that. >> last year the decision for the height is washington project should the voters be asked florida the height be waived on this project. >> we're saying on port property publicly owned property not privately but on public

property which for the most part under our state constitution mass been held in the public trust yes, the voters have is a say because unfortunately, we we have fined and i'm sorry to have to say this is the port and planners are not listening not people 8 washington was clear evidence of that clear evidence where a good project is proposed i have great confidence in the voters for example, at&t park was approved by the voters the of her building the hunters point shipyard critical waterfront projects. but what worries me about the current trend and i've gotten involved there are too many people out to make our unique san francisco waterfront look like miami beach and if so, i

think this would be a shame isn't it a fact i think it would be a really bad sign for the economy we're unique it's a our waterfront that makes us unique >> mr. valenzuela 10 should the voter be asked about the height. >> i think once again when we focus on the height we don't get into the discussion of the complexity of the getting the mitigations on a project and i mean folks there could be a tall building on this parcel the proponents make it out this is miami beach and it's not there's no proposal anywhere in san francisco that looks like miami beach. there is a community process in plays that's you figure out hard to make sure that the cultural your current proposals in place have articulated buildings where

we have maybe a few tall slender towers in shorter blocks and integration with affordable housing on site. they're creating an enormous distraction and pushing things into one or two word to wall and miami beach those are not the projects that anybody's it interested in seeing again, we're talking about rental housing and the projects the port needs to have the income to fix the problems they belong to all san francisco as well as the sea level rise this is not jew just about who the developers are >> we have a little bit of time left i want to get our final thoughts ms. reigning. >> i think yes on b is

extraordinarily important 0 so san francisco doesn't look like miami beach. who wants to see all along our waterfront those wind tower type buildings you see as you come across the bay bridge and interestingly enough when the voters wanted to take this off the ballot they said they explicit is have to pay attention to the height limits they can build whatever they want 10 empire state buildings it's critically important that the citizens of san francisco have a say on what happens on their property. yes on b applies to public property. public trust property and the citizens villaraigosa a right to have a say we have in the past why not now.

mr. valenzuela 10 any final remarks >> sure once again there's an numerous distraction by focusing on miami beach no one is talking about miami beach and the current process has not produced anything in prop b passes tall and short everything is going to focus on tall because they know that folks are going to be against that we could get short buildings no park and no affordable housing. and possibly not solving the problems at the port at this time. so i think i think so that we have a big challenge to our waterfront what p that looks like the public process is open and prop b is a political campaign to focus on heights to challenge the developments that could be creating parks and

affordable housing and bring people to the waterfront and do good for the city. thank you both for your comments we hope this discussion has been forgive for more information please visit the san francisco sf elections.org remember earlier vociferating is at city hall and you can vote on the two weekends before elective days please vote on june 3rd if i don't vote hi i'm david canoei
