logical canned candidates and gain residents in in the newly apartments and our city government is being run by an administration comprised by a majority asian american panel few african-americans hold management positions in city government and permitted the lottery system for new housing within district ten. i believe we must play on an even playing field. give everyone access. there must not be a biased agenda in giving seniors of other districts preferential
8:04 am
status. >> san francisco has some -- seniors of all races residing in hunters point and bayview a fair shot. >> thank you next speaker, please. >> my name is nancy cross and i was inspired by the presentation by supervisor kim particularly in relations to apartments and apartment fires i've been very apprehensive in
8:05 am
brand new buildings there's a failure to observe the the fire code for low income tenants and you will be looking into more because you need so much housing in the low income the advertisements of the apartments say that their modifications on request of the applicant but i found this is doesn't exist they ignore it. and if you don't continue without ever having a definition of what the project can be and to comply and not satisfied with no compliance with san francisco housing code, you lose your opportunity for the housing and just because you wouldn't sign waivers and inindemnities that if you did sign you would lose all the benefits. that would
8:06 am
make things right so i would appreciate more attention for people who might be very low income people and needing housing that they actually get opportunities with code compliances necessary to prevent fire accidents and injuries to the health of the people looking for housing. >> thank you. next speaker, please? >> good afternoon supervisors i'm peter war field executive director of library users association and in about 1 week mid-march the library will go to biblio commons and it has many serious problems. i'll be using the overhead as a mentioned to you a number of
8:07 am
times it's privacy smashing in a variety of ways. biblio commons is biblio censorship in a whole range of ways and they take upon themselves the right to toss out any comments on for example books that free people in their system of 200 libraries and 4 million plus registrant flags and with no review no due process and that's not appropriate in a library which is a limited public public forum and it exploits the patrons by taking themselves the right as they put it to sublicense to use and
8:08 am
publicly display and perform and adapt create and distribute content that the patrons have provided. biblio commons is highly deceptive in a variety of ways. contradictory statements within their terms and when you are in biblio commons it's not clear that you can for example reserve a book without registering for them if you click on the one click feature and the library users 2004 at yahoo.com. >> thank you very much next speaker, please. >> thank you president breed and other victims my name is

chris and i live at 6th and howard and i'd like to comment on the mass transportation the existing model was pulled by horses on dirt roads and we've managed to replace hay with gasoline and to put the driver inside the box otherwise nothing has changed, bart our favorite transportation system was promised to be fully automated by by 1990 and the system was supposed to provide a continuous flow of movement to and from the center and bart was going to be free because we wouldn't have any drivers to fund pensions and healthcare for. does anyone else remember market street the the big pit? i can stand on the sidewalk at night and hear the sound of rats i remember the pit and i
8:10 am
remember those promises they are making more promises don't believe them there there will be no more need for bart we will finally manage to put all drivers inside a chip and we'll raise the density and safety of street traffic by an order of magnitude and multiply the average trip speed by 3 and replace a single 100 percent train car with 5002-person robo cars such a deal will not be ignored thank you president breed. >> thank you next speaker please. >> good afternoon supervisors i'm amy fair way and in a time when developers scouring the
8:11 am
neighborhoods let's celebrate and enhance local culture and work hard to prevent the demolition of the cultural assets still here and let's celebrate it read the purpose of the theatre is to become the center of community life and enhancing the enjoyment of its people and the theatre served the community for over 7 decades as well as a gathering space for social justice movements and worship but it's been boarded up and blighted. neighbors prevented the harding theatre from being demolished with the help of the planning

8:16 am
. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good evening. i was sitting in the audience just now. it was almost comical to me how our supervisor and my supervisor was worried about the sugar consumption of black people. well, let's look at this. black people of bay view's point get 1 percent of the amount being spent if you don't know it. 55 percent of black people are prisoners. if you want something to talk about, i'll give smug to talk about. i don't understand why for the life of me why supervisors,
8:17 am
particularly black supervisors don't understand the days to put black people out of san francisco are damn near over. how can you just think that these white people are not interested in putting black people out of san francisco? if you think that, you're crazy. this has been going on for the last 50 years and now we're down to the point where i was at a meeting last week and was requested to ask you to name bay view hunterer's point africa town. and that was funny in that meeting because it's all right to have china town, korea town, japan town but it ain't okay to have african town. slavery was light at one time. in the constitution, black people were not human. so now we're in the 21st century and there's a law,
8:18 am
proposition 209 says the white contractor does not have to employ black contractors. that is why black people are not working on no jocks in bay view hunter's point. you need to look and it is more serious than you got any idea it is. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, my name is duane gains and i'm also from hunter's point. i'm 50 years old and a native of san francisco. i was born in san francisco general hospital. i've seen the black panthers. i've seen fine stein. i've seen mascoy. im unemployed and i have a two bedroom with my son. i'm
8:19 am
a native. why am i unemployed? all i've done here is construction. there's no more love and no more community. all of that is gone in fine stein. this is all about money now. how many supervisors or people work in the city are actually natives or live in the city? it's not many of us around. and then the ones that are still around -- excuse me, they're getting shit and pissed on. this is my city. i graduated in 1983 and i got a letter from galvin new some. it's sad. it's really sad. we're having a mayor coming up and we need guys to look at us and see where this money is

8:27 am
it's worse than any country and you are talking to politics of the united states. the biggest mistake is when the jewish organization came to the soviet union and said if you come to the united states, you will live like people. no, we're living like dogs, like animals. this is not people on the street, it's animals. we call them homeless people. it's a lie. it's animals. >> thank you. are there any other mexico who would like to
