where are they going to build for us? put your hands on your conscious and everybody wroo whoo can help us those who can help against the evictions. thank you very much >> thank you next speaker please >> my name is julian doll and organizer where community group ace and we work in multiple neighborhoods and have a chapter in the mission in bruno height jz oshave a chapter in the bay view and we work with folks who have trouble with dealing with secz 8 management pusing them outd, folks being foreclosed on, people evicted

andal who need affordable housing and paying rents too high and just people fed up of seeing the neighborhoods around them change beyond recognition fl profits of a few wall street developers. right now we are hearing there are is so much common ground on the board. we are hearing everybody wants to see more affordable housing and everybody wants to deal with the housing crisis and that is great and hope that is true, but i only hear a few people quite frankly who are the sponsors of this initiative say how it is that we will get that affordsable housing. there is actually a plan the community came windup and saying before we get that affordable housing we have to stop the land grab happening in the communities. now, if we don't do that i don't know how we will get that

affordable housing, how it is we will not continue to build at the 7 percent rate in the pipeline now in the mission. no, i know that you know that the entire mission community is asking for pass this proposal. i know there are other communities starting to ask the same thing of other supervisors to please come up with a plan to rein in the wall street develops and also know that we are not the only ones you are hearing from. i am sure there are meetings with >> thank you very much. next speaker please >> my name is glena [inaudible] i'm a artist and curator. when i came to san francisco in 1994 i found a place for under 400 dollars a month and i was able to support myself teaching photography in bay view hunters point when i

did for 12 years. the mission became my home. i am paying a mort gj now, but i am not happy to see my property values rising. i'm worried about every arts institution being in peril and more than that worried about my neighbors being displaced. my immediate neighbor mary a dear freend and she is in section 8 housing so maybe she has a bit of protection but i don't think so. she raised 12 foster kids and now raising a little grandson junel and i'm not the only one who lovesmery. everyone on the block loves mary. on mur birthday she gets a mar auchy serenade but they were evicted across the street. many families were packing

yesterday and the day before. i asked where they were going and many didn't know. marby's house they told me is slated to be next. i look at junel and i think that junels life can go in very different directions and the choices he will have and the decisions he will make at 16 could be radically different if he is able to stay in the neighborhood where he is loved with people from all walks of life and grow up there. think about it we need moratorium that is basically long enough to be there until junel comes of age and ready to vote in my opinion >> thank you, next speaker please >> my name is sieveia [inaudible] i'm disabled senior from the postal service. i deliver mail every day going up and down hills in san

of market rate housing is obl making the crisis worse. very few new development include affordable units and as more luxury housing is built it lead tahigher rent and more displacement so what is to be done? the mission district lost 5 sites that can go to affordable housing and now only 13 sites are left. >> thank you ma'am. next speaker please. [speaking spanish] [inaudible] i have been working for our community many years and retired, but i

didt noretire from the peoples struggle. i would like the supervisors to please meditate over what the moratorium means to us. the moratorium is the medicine that is meant to treat the cancer that is finishing thauf mission in san francisco. that is the whole thing, all our stories flow together here. san francisco, the mission is a city that lives from a constant struggle and is a characterized by

defended just causes. if san francisco didn't have these organization the rich would have been able to make their goals and put in those goal kicks they did. they have managed to come out ahead with theirs, but we need to get ours as well. we need our residence to be strong in the field. it

used to be the chains now you need 3 incomes to pay rent. thank you >> thank you next speaker >> [speaking spanish] good afternoon my name is [inaudible] i'm here to support this moratorium which supervisor campos with his fellow supervisor who are in favor there of are supporting and we got your back. because the

community is calling out, clamoring for a place to live. now san francisco community is asking you for your support. it is in your hands. and don't forget that when tomorrow comes you are going to be asking for our help to occupy the seats you now hold. that's why i ask you to please not abandon us in this suffering we are in. because there isn't rental property anymore, the rents are twenty-two too high and don't want to rent to us in san

francisco anymore. every day i hear it clamoring of the community that clamors for housing. that is why i want to thank those who are supportive and i want those who are not spoteing us to have your hearts softened and come to our side and support us. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker please >> my name is [inaudible] and i have been teaching in san francisco since 1965. i say teaching even though i have been --

that job also supports us. that's why i want to thank those who are honestly doing their work as work for the community. thank you very much for supporting the community and doing your job without joust talking hogwash and pretext. because your kids still have teachers, they still have homes, you are still together because you have money. enough already, stop being a complicist to money.

you responsible for your wickedness because it is wickedness. don't try to call it by any other name, it is selling out to the rich. we are not saying we don't want there to be construction, we are not saying we don't want housing to be built, but we want housing for us because we are the ones who worked here in san francisco, we are the ones who created the wealth and i would ask you please >> thank you very-thank you next speaker please

>> [inaudible] michael lion great panthers. so, there are supersupervisors who don't want to wait 45 days when the number of available lots in the mission are rapidly decreasing from 18 to 1thry all most over night. how can you possibly be against holding things up when lots are disappearing that fast? there is only one explanation, you want them to go. you want the people to go, you want people to be driven out, you want people to be

evicted and sent out of town where they not only have lost their family, they lost their health care, they lost their jobs, they lost their whole means of living. what it is saying is that you want the mission to be converted to a area where the police come in, where they hurass and stop young youth, black i latin youth hurassing them. where people are killed within impunity by the police. we will not stand it any longer. you can hear what it is like outside. your time will come. >> thank you, next speaker please >> good afternoon my flame is olgu[inaudible] and i want to
