folks can live in san francisco and when this happens they can't participate in their union as well as and the community groups and in fact, can't participate in the political facet as much the fact that to deteriorate the quality of our life and participation in our public conversations and so that's one reason we're here to urge you to pass 24 ordinance it is the beginning the first step we hope you can make that happen thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm amy the founder of vera did care we urge you to accept this ordinance has passed through the planning commission as is and in my neighborhood of divisadero i know that supervisor breed is centered in

middle-income residents our growing population is actually it is very diverse in terms of the different types of persons not only the people are qualify at the ami it is different restrictions e.r. restrictions and the types of resources in terms of finding assisted living as well as having caregivers notify in with them we need more data it is fair to assess for different reasons and for access to hours for us we would like to be part of the hope when people come to our doors to provide ways to show them what's happening over time and what happens in the future so they have at least some assurances

they're part of - they couldn't lose hopeful e hope essentially it is important to have data something you and your offices can bring to the table when people come to your doors where's the planning housing for me breaking down that is very complex for someone that needs housing right now today and it is for us people who are service providers to break down and make it clear this is coming up in this neighborhood and this neighborhood but we know this is coming up in the pipeline we need your support in that thanks. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon my name is paul and i'd like to address the board as a long term resident of the mission i've lived here for

35 years and served over 20 years on the board of directors of a local nonprofit called mission council they served in the rehabilitation of drug and alcohol abuse i can testify to what i've myself witnessed in the mission most recently, i have seen a good number of my neighbors long term renter their properties have gone into the market and been purposed by for lack of a better term speculators with the intent to initiate the ellis act after buying the property those renters some of them have been my neighbors as long as i've been there they predate my residency i've seen them bought

out and lied to with a lessor stent some are hanging onto maintain their apartments i'd like to help i want to support any and all legislation and efforts on your part to stabilize the housing market in the myths and the city as a whole and whatever we can do to increase that market and do so at affordable rates thank you very much. >> thank you>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm teresa i'm from the bill housing program of the veterans center we urge you to support those housing balance as is our service and what we have noticed that people come to our door the first one we ask is how

do i get to affordable housing how can i apply for affordable housing? and as people come into our door they come from different backwards people are seniors low income families and low income individuals who are on fixed income middle-income families that are starting to leave here in san francisco and also settling in the neighborhood so this housing balance is very important because it gives noble statistics but the stories of what housing are being built and what kind of housing needs to be built when we asked about when people - when people try to apply for affordable housing some people don't get accepted

because they're only one hundred dollars from the maximum or 50 away from the minimum what kind of housing we see that kind of trend so we urge you to have those statistics available so it will guide us to what kind of housing needs to be built we need to build affordable housing for all extremely low income and low income and middle-income thank you, very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> name is anthony work in south of market with senior and disability action i'm also with the manila town heritage foundation there's a grave need for having housing balance and also to have that balance monitored i don't think that it is a mystery to anyone there is a lot

of market rate housing what messages is really - is being stated to the community when you know predominantly moderate of market rate housing is going up what does it tell the worker people and on the message is you don't along here and i'm not of that mindset there is room for everyone in san francisco i'm concerned again with seniors and people with disabilities district 3 has the largest of 28 percent medium income in 2010 was that $7,000 a year i don't know how much social security has risen in the last 5 years but in that area it looks like the housing balance is out of balance out of the 6 hundred

plus 66 we are affordable that really has to change i'm in favor of the housing balance and having the - this data available 80 so people at least know where we're at and you know we've been fighting for a long time to have more of a balance there is no balance we're trying to get it in the opposite direction and on track thank you. >> thank you very much>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> i'm 35 years myself housing a big thing here and we need affordable housing some kind of rent control because it is way out of hand

right? and the impacts that have happened for the lack of long term visionary in the policy development and we haven't thought burglary the true implication i'm encouraging to have a workforce we don't have housing for and moving the loss of rent control unit we need to have unbiased data that is produced on an official level through the city to make informed policy decisions that impact our housing community especially on affordable levels without this we're speculating on the implications thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is eric i'm are the san

picture to decide what is working and not for us right now what is happening in the mission is not working we're in support of this report thank you. >> thank you. the. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello supervisors i'm here representing a member - as a member of ace and bay area long term standing and native born and raised getting back to the last two years because of the affordable housing that was established i'm in support of this i'd like to see it expanded and see some affordable housing built there is a great lack of affordable housing there are people that are civil service employees that can't afford to live in san francisco this is
