far the occupied san francisco protesters several years ago there's been many, many ideas that are proposed and calendar year by the san francisco staff and the board of education so all that said we had a breakthrough a couple years ago as was described when the mayor's office of housing and now the community development and a sfusd engaged in a degree of negotiations around this site this was the break through we preceded to negotiate in good faith and we're glad we reached this amendment and hope it has the committees supporting future. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm with the mission eviction and i'm a long time resident of the mission

at underground zero we have only 10 percent of affordable housing compared to other neighborhood that have 50 to 60 percent of affordable housing. we believe that the people evicted from the mission should be given the first right once the homes are built and we feel that you should looking like look at as the budget committee look at the board of supervisors look at proposals we've secured as a community in the mission that should be funded to build affordable housing in san francisco so that the mayors goal to build thirty thousand units is thank you >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. >> thank you for bringing this forward i'm excited about this

i'm hydra mendosa the excision on the board of education and the education advisors to mayor ed lee the 8 years i've been on the board of education this has been a very high topic and priority for us we would not have be able to do this without the support of the city the school district we're educators not releasing folks so the city support and you'll have this has been tremendous. i want to thank president fewer for her efforts when she came on instead of building housing in the mission made a big difference and give a shout out to dense kelly for housing we've not been to help him busing u but this is the how's and many

people can be eligible over the years we've heard both from property committees from the grand jury report occupy sf as me young pointed out this property should be for a variety of things and parking and homeless bites we're excited to build homeless housing for our folks this is an example for public good is something that the school district doesn't consider when thinking about the larger community we couldn't do this on our own and look forward to having additional conversations with the mayor's office. i want to really thank mayor ed lee for bringing us in and lending us kevin and teresa and olsen and jeff and john and thank you, david and chris and both of the sprrntsd for making
