diversity. as a bed-and-breakfast is not for everyone someone prefers the comfortable of a spa or hotel but for those who want someone more unique noah's nest offers an experience of the mission district and noah valley. to the question are we is a city that prides itself on the big and small businesses or do we seek to homogenize our industry and seek out noah's nest sure everyone should not be encouraged to stay at bed-and-breakfast but noah's is a wonderful expression of what san francisco is today when i recommend a bed-and-breakfast if you're looking for a slice of the mission district stay at noah's nest. in my opinion noah's is an asset

to the city and a shame to see it removed >> thank you. next speaker. i'll call a few more names (calling names). >> hello, i'm gretta gordon i'm a typical san francisco resident i certainly support noah's nest in the noah valley it's the only bed-and-breakfast in that area. it is a well run and efficient and, in fact, it's eloquent and i urge you to vote yes. thank you >> thank you. >> i'm mary concrete the property we own is a couple of blocks from noah's nest it's also been a comfortable knowing
