4:17 pm
straight for the record and those new puppies i've been around for over 25 years you talk about jobs and how's and education in a 10 year period and retail how this is going to have good jobs but the realization at the did a survey the negatively grow and african-american is going to be obsolete in the city so this is bs we're not able to be living in the city therefore whoever wrote the law complutd included us number 2 hunters point i hate to tell the black folks out there hold up soldier if you don't look at the inner renewal we call negro and to the city
4:18 pm
and county of san francisco and the state and the united states government and they understand with the renewal urban did to san francisco this was a failure now i can our supervisors put some laws together to say oh, 50 percent hiring but if you look at it we're not going to be around to reap the benefits like i say we 5i7b9 got time if you look at it it don't take no rocket scientist or person if harvard to understand the valuation our population is down we're going not go going to be around my family i've been working 20 years are here in 10 or 15 years we'll be obsolete god gave me a vision flip-flop
4:19 pm
and drop everything now all those new plans there's going to be have been a remedy to include us i'm with the cac their force the infrastructure of the city and county the parallel has to be for us we got to put something in there so people won't be offended we opened the doors for everybody but i'm here to stand i'm a black man, this is black history month so i'm telling you we must co-exist or it ain't going to continue. >> thank you any other speakers
4:20 pm
mr. james. >> sorry for not putting a card in oscar james from hunters point prove or disprove the key for the african-americans to stay in hunters point is homeownership we need to get more folks buying property that guarantees us folks we'll be out there any grandmother was the first african-american to buy a home in hunters point in the 30s she left the history for us to be property owner and my brothers are property owners thank god i didn't have sisters i want to support 24 particular project because it is beneficial to us i know they say 50 percent hiring by my memorandum of
4:21 pm
understanding 50 percent contingent and one hundred percent citywide okay. the other thing i want to make an contention or mention i don't know if lamar or the developers know that read by the alice griffith park it used to be water right there if you go into the park you'll see telephone poles we used to skid rocks if you go around the state park you'll notice you'll start like waving as you drive how the street has sunk and it has like. >> wave you ride on it that needed to be sewer charged and more materials put there where it can make that i see the property on here is flat but it's not going to be flat if you put a surcharge to kind of let that water kind of seep out
4:22 pm
i know the developers you know what i'm talking about irreverent and that's the other thing i wanted to make sure they knew about the water where the park is it's the ball park that was a hill but the bottom part was water so you know i've been out there 68 years so i know i used to ride my this stick hours out there. >> stick hours i haven't heard that okay any other public comment there is a workshop so fire away. >> i just i i know that ace left but prior to him actually getting up is s i have a question this is not for this time i want to make a comment you know when we look at the san francisco fte it is a great fabulous number but how many of
4:23 pm
the businesses is long time resident and i ask that because you know there's a lot of folks and in boyer and candle stick and the southeast portion of the city that actually for a long time have gone without opportunities without resources and i know there's a lot of folks that are flocking to san francisco opening up shop and then basically taking a lot of those opportunities and i don't know how fair that is and i really would love for us as a commission and agency because we have $4 billion worth of projects maybe we need to dig a little bit deeper i know it's about who benefits from those opportunities
4:24 pm
and you know we talk about local hire because we want san franciscans to build the city we talked about the arts and want san franciscans it provide the arts but i know a lot of people that just got here and our benefiting from those wonderful opportunities that it really actually would be great to have some folks that have been here a long time remember we talked about during third street when we were rebuilding third street and the small businesses suffered because of the construction and then we brought the fact that maybe when the constructions is beginning why not give the local delhi that's been there 20 years to
4:25 pm
make sandwiches for the workers and give them an opportunity to benefit from the work and so you know one i'd like to maybe ask tiffany a that's something we can talk about and i know we can do a lot of what we can by the power that a lot of us will have to push for something like that i don't know how to define that or the scope but let's see how we can do longshoreman in the myths when you look at the mall or the you know, i know it's not going to be all the big name stores by like pacific islanders
4:26 pm
coffee i knew him when we was working in a coffee store he was playing around with coffee but more than it's coffee growing up we didn't have money when the construction boom slowed down any mom would say can you go to thildz and get some coffee i didn't have the money to pay so phil give us credit so maybe next week there are a lot of businesses in the city that have been around a long, long time that has the center specialness that makes san francisco special i urge you working on this project to that about that you know, i figure it will do a lot of good for the people and especially the people that
4:27 pm
survived; right? let's be honest >> anticipate maybe something as a commission andncy i've talked with the mayor about it and you know he thinks this is good so i think as a city family and as a community as and people that come and do business with us maybe we'll make a concerted effort for people that have been here a long time that's all i ask. >> commissioner mondejar yes this is great your proposal is exciting and wonderful by i was wondering if you've also you know as this context is developing you will be attracting a lot of families and shoppers especially and there are other needs that have to be
4:28 pm
addressed and things like this a grocery maybe not a supermarket but a ribbon place of residence what about a fire station a police station a pharmacy and i notice there are medical clinics there decreases s are opening offices i have a friend that opened there a few years ago and she's on over accident weekend she wants to catch the families that go shopping over the weekend instead of taking time off during the week i hoping hope you'll consider as you plan this beautiful historic place the needs of families are addressed so, yeah well, it seem
4:29 pm
like we have a response that's great. >> thank you and i think both of our questions and comments are similarly themed what i neglected to add we talked about the neighborhood serving did types of environment we focus a lot and in our business is creating authentic environments so speaking exactly to what you're saying and there's been discussion particularly other than the street an england son and humanitarian new is weaving into san francisco and while still serving other needs with groceries and pharmacy and things like that this is a focal point and you'll are hearing more about that as we progress.
4:30 pm
>> that's great i would i don't know if it's a question for staff but an ad on to what supervisor miguel bustos we talk about as the project is ramping up right as the construction, etc. we haven't talked about what happens after so i was happy to hear, if you will, the host project completion, if you will workforce development idea of because i have that in my voting rights notes of hiring resident essentially that's a question of mine you know making sure that we deliver on the project i've heard the mayor say it to the neighborhood that you know being blunt this is not the western
