outlet questions or thoughts before we go to public comment. >> yes. i have, in fact, a question this is i really don't know if this is correct is it correct that the mission district now survivors from the worse health conditions among all san francisco neighborhoods and according to mit i don't know if those people knows what our talking about i'm kidding it was recorded in several publications including the san francisco aquarium that the report indicated this finding some folks seen it we were alarmed it raised a question what are redoing in investing in grant making and community partnership in the mission so i think that's really what in some ways brought us to tonight the

mit report. >> what do i think. >> it shouldn't be a contest and we've done a lot of discussion here at the commission maybe we can continue after public comment after we hear from folks there might be some folks we're hoping folks that want to share their thoughts about that is that okay. colleagues? if we do that okay maintain have public comment on the resolution please. yes >> if you don't mind to - >> join us up here at the podium. >> my name is where a marie sorenson i'm part of the grove as you talk about health

concerns one big concern of mine we're kind of the dumping ground for at&t phone boxes we have lots of things that go up for pg&e we are disproportionately dumped bye on by tables and utilities and we're supposed to be getting those urge green boxes they had a map in the napper not that long ago and they were monthly in the mission or bay area, of course, no one in patrick heights that's not fair if urge you to talk about the health problems in the myths you've got to evaluate every component in the mission and

that starts with all the utility boxes the phone lines at my house alone we probably every time we get an at&t guy because or anyone else this that going to work on the lines or line there's so many lines hooked up we losing lose our intersect connection they have to i'm talking about the radiation that we're faced with because of putting those boxed in our neighborhood they say there's no problem for that but no body else's wants it there is a problem with it so i think that

in terms of the mission and health one other thing with more building downtown we get more wind tunnels coming through the mission and a lot of what comes stays in the mission so i think the mission is kind of its own little bowl so it's not a surprise that the air quality may not be as good and that we're facing more environmental problems just logically more than anyone else. >> anything like that is not related to the presentation but

a big question i've h had given all the construction in the city but concentrate in my neighborhood i often wonder we're in the worse drought every in california and there's buildings everywhere dust no rain and i also wonder where is the water coming from and where is it going to come to support the resident the dust we have to walk all over and the construction is everywhere i'm alarmed about the mission having all this health issues my understanding it was the bay area and the bay area has it's issues buzzed the toxins but now the mission so i'm wondering i don't think that anyone is thinking of the water and what we have to deal with every time we walk down the

street with all the dust i ask z is there a plan how the water how - how are we're going to support all the residents and, yes i'm very concerned about the water and as a side note we're not spotted supposed to bring cell phones in the meeting i've been distracted by someone with a cell phone it's a matter of practice so (clapping.) colleagues miguel. >> do you have someone that can

help okay. thank you you'll get 3 minutes safe. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> good evening. i'm miguel i'm another member of the community. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so you're all saying beautiful things about improving the commercial real estate the

beautification of the area. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> but i think the most important thing we need to have the community understand we need to obtain those things. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> it is necessary to understand the conscious that not everyone participants in the same form. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and today, we're here defending our neighborhood take into account we're in better

situations than in other parts of world. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and take into account that in other parts of the world the ecology is being ruined and places where the water is contaminated fish are dying. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and all the points were very important but one thing we should keep in mind is unit. >> but not just simply by ones word by action because we need

to keep in mind e keep in mind this world is everyone. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> someone very wise once said that the ground is where something very imminent arises from. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so as humans we - i'm asking him to repeat it one more time i'm not trying to take away the effect it is difficult to

translate. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> our souls have the capacity to be able to connect themselves to t to earth. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> >> our own meet that's the exact translation flush thank you. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and we all have to be more cognizant of insuring we're finding that harm new and we're losing that. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and in the moment there's have been many species lost that have died we're at it point where

humanity is about to be extinguished. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> now this obligates us to be more conscious to take part in all of this. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> by taking into effect we're losing ones life and going to be losing this battle. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> sorry. >> it's okay. >> can i ask you to be

conscious we're at a time of losing our own air. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> but as i mentioned we have to be conscious of our own air without air we don't have life. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> but what can be worse than having death and without having life then humans are effected but it. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> ladies and gentlemen, i thank you for your time it's been a pleasure to be with you and thank you

(clapping.) yes. yes. please. >> good afternoon, commissioners good evening. i'm oscar first, i applaud our leadership in the grassroots efforts like in the adequate restraining order in the cultural district in go making that connection on the environment as people's that have suffered through thick and thin we define the environment where we live and play and in the 24th street and districts that's our environment our trees and mountains our floor so thank you for taking leadership on it

i appreciate you're bringing up the study the mit thank you was recorded on the local where the mission studies say mission has the highest exchange of cumulative impacts of the matter in the air that results from dense living and results from cars traffic and heavy truck routes and wood burning often and the highest concentration of restaurants restaurants don't qualify we see a surgery of popular surgery in wood burdening ovens every restaurant in the gets trying to have wood burning food is is that true

(laughter) i might have dreamt it as my new startup and the lack of small business and vegetation you go outer mission south caesar chavez was the same accustom active air impacts but we don't see the same results in terms of the health there's access to more small business s open space and more trees and vegetation which we see a lack of in the core of the mission district we've been waiting years for fulsome near and dear to my heart that the campaign we've worked on it is stuck from the bureaucracy of the city we need more you guys are bringing up up those positive things that are happening for the community so thank you.

(clapping.) >> other public comment, public comment any other members of the public seeing none, public comment is closed one other thing colleagues before we figure out that piece of our resolution we have another member of the council that's seen our resolution and posted and suggested when we talk about local job creation it is part of the program to be promoted through the latino cultural district to make sure that second there the local job creation for the diverse economy she'd e-mailed and worked on this since the beginning so she's well versed and suggesting
