9:32 pm
portion? >> there were a number -- i could give you a percentage of how many trees were dressed in our particular year but it is significant but given the number of properties that were repaired and a number of top people that had issues that came up today i would say that a program is largely successful safeguarding the public right-of-way even from trees causing damage. as you may know in the city and county of san francisco, trees are either maintained by that of property owner or maintained by the city as a whole. the sidewalk inspection repair program goes through and repairs sidewalks in the public right-of-way, and

six than howard. 10 bucks less than 40 m from sea level. i rise to reassess previous comment. people said i was a little harsh. it was argued that you personally could not be held to be responsible to be morally liable to the death of the portfolio boy that got run over by the metro card. after all, the secrets of events that led to that tragedy were not a consequence of your actions. you were not around when the system was designed where the trains ordered not your fault. but of your hands after constant. i would have found it hard to resist that argument except for the fact that automatic collision avoidance systems have been available for years and deployable in months if you try really really hard. for some of you, your services have been available for those years. maybe you are simply uninformed. maybe you were

concrete inhumanity of that is beyond comprehension. what would harvey milk say. would he also be embarrassed that a person's gait like myself represent such anti-gate, such homophobic, such despicable ways of looking at human beings. yes, this ethnic cleansing that continues to go on in san francisco is around us and very little is very done about it but i notice the word ethnic cleansing is being used more more in his chambers on the radio, in the media, and there is a reason for that because it buys what is happening. force location of 8000 latinos in the mission not willingly, but force people up to 90 years old. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i am -- fascists and
