about how yourself you'll keep the services south of market if place are you going to fund them or subsidize them they're out of you're showcasing subsidize now homelessness is driven by the evicts we can estimate homelessness will get worse with this project additional criminalization it follows the classes gets worse so i'm asking you to prioritize our vulnerable residents thanks. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm old and get older as the hours past here waiting i've lived in the mission for 40 years a tenants a lot of parallels between mission and selma racially diverse neighborhoods and working class neighbors and increases of great

and people that have lived there for generations are pushed out it is exactly what is happening in selma i think this government should be appalled apt the way they treat the minority in our city there are okay to live in the areas while not considered valuable once their valuable then let's get rid of those people he want rich people in here that's obscene and faster the environmental impact report i think that it a shell game this one here this one here and pull it out and see what's under it, it is being rushed this whole thing is rushed they wanted to start this construction before they actually do the foundation of what has to be done as far as the people in the neighborhood

it is a neighborhoods of families it is a neighborhood of working-class people of neighborhood of seniors and you're going to displace them and there is no place to go then you'll make it illegal to be on the streets where else to go the people with the tents are the luck ones the other ones have cardboard boxes look at our conscience and do the right thing thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> madam president supervisors my name is office of the city administrator to duffey i live nearby the project i'm half german and irish in my

german side wants to my irish side now german side recognizes we're in a changing world and situation and what was acceptable and really good deal would have been 20 or thirty years ago we are seeing what we need to get out of projects or reject them altogether but has to be higher than in the past that is what i come out with the people maybe get a little bit better deal i i've got to tell you there should be enernex between communities and one communities gets one thing connected to go another thing and i can see that or for this project that is something that is missing i represent you know the demographic that makes half of you're showcasing income that's

the high ends of the demographic and a whole lot people in the single-room occupancy sro no kitchen or bathroom and it is messed up and not working no kitchen or you know minimum kitchen facilities there is a huge low income project across the street and not one person in the hosts is going to be have assess unless a family how many people in homeless have families not one person having assess the tdm is putting up i want the gentleman to explain that is not the case people living in sros that will subnormal and less good health and lower life expectancy 10 and 20 years no fuel units where is tdm for us where do we fit in i'm sorry. i'm getting heated i'm having 3

minutes i'll only used to having 2 laura. >> how about a nexus that helps the neighborhood that it would think way to improve the projects. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> and just to the members of the public you're not general obligation bond to use the 3 minutes (laughter). >> govern supervisors regarding the eir in our camps have given the detailed descriptions of the placed you need to address those instead of saying tell it differently you've got it in writing please address it this project has eir flaws in many ways one of them is it there not developer paid affordable housing that goods against the housing policy for

many years that the housing should be built at the same time as imagine and, of course, putting luxury housing in office a huge office building in a residential neighborhood is the kind of a first they have been enormous changes to the project since the last time that people got a chance to look at it 1 or 2 weeks is not sufficient for us to do that an earlier speaker pointed out that like some of the projects we've known like the open space in golden gate park and the picture said one thing the words said another to the pictures show this wonderful grass but the context is different and noontime sun is not enough the buildings don't step down an alternative plan presented and that alternative plan that was

matched the central selma plan heights was in locations of buildings was not considered it should have been equally analyzed i appreciate that many, many, many things were conceded to by the developer at the beheaviest of supervisor kim and others and it is good work but we can do a little bit better here we'll widen the evictions of our neighbors and firstborns and the loss of this working-class we're going to be here some of us may not be here what that happens so, please this eir is that flawed we need to have a retake thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm tony the board president of the manila foundation i agree with the last

speaker drawing board looking at the draft eir and consider the ramifications to the neighborhood this will have our history here in san francisco is one of the evicts and displacement as was the case in the middletown neighborhood on kerry street percent deemed too valuable for filipino communities to living on and that showed the volume of the real estate speculators in the real estate industry it is strong and continuing to do the same thing to this day i find is high disrespect to talk and entertain the idea of luxury condo in selma in light of so many luxurious development in the city

particularly in the mission we've seen the flight of so many latinos families in any concern really is for the filipino neighborhood in selma the working-class neighborhood but particularly the filipino community we've had so many elderly and families and housing has to do with connects the dots with transportation it is a valuable community it is a wonderful community a community with heart and a community with culture and it is a community that you can when you walk in selma you feel welcome and feel the beirut beauty think environment don't respect the beauty of existing neighborhood and didn't appreciate the doout beauty of exist culture in the neighborhood like forest city in brooklyn to that neighborhood to that city to those neighborhoods

the so-called affordable housing is not affordable for phobias that are here a lot of folks that came here and speak eloquently about being forthcoming of their financial situation and their family situation many are many have just getting by enough in the community that supports values and loves them and people from organizations that serve the filipino community and the greater communities that see a value in having us here i trouble building this development will hurt us in the long run and hurt us and cause evicts you can't tell me that developing condo and high-end luxury housing will not have an effect on the exist community with the rising lands prices and that is going to give - >> thank you very much.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> yeah good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, neechlz a ricco and my family live here in selma since 1973 i work as a apartment case manager for teenagers and young adults 14 to 24 years old i'm also a caregiver for our central selma central selma a selma it my home since 1973 we are working class families here in selma as far as i, remember i look at the children look at the children in front of you you know, i was there age when i came here to the united states

here in selma from the filipinos open f philippines it is sad they have to experience the ash absurdity of growing up in selma because of what is going on today in the beginning i was in support of this project because of large money that they promised to give to the city but then i realized the money will not save our community you know, i realize this project is good are for the city of san francisco, good for the line up on the screen side of the room, good for the developer, but you know what it is not good for the residents of working-class families i ask the board to delay this project until they can guarantee that the working-class families will not be displaced in selma

thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please the kids from west bay will be talking on the other hand, and i'll interpret for them. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> thank you said i will translate said he's 10-year-old his mom again housekeeping and his mom a single mom wants to help the filipinos south of market to they would not be displaced up

next it mick. >> my name is mick can i'm 8 years old i want my physically family to stay in the south of market. >> i wouldn't want more filipinos kicked out we did a - we helped them.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> i will translate that was robert he's a father of one of the youth michael he says he's a filipino since 1989 they were almost evicted because of that experience he thought he needs to help defend did filipinos in san francisco he says this project is not did not help filipinos and base it filipinos will not afford that so-called affordable housing that it proposes he says that project is a slap in the face of working-class families that live in the selma he and his family are opposed to the project and thank you very much

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> i'm via i can't into west bay it services the under south side of families and seniors supervisors i'm proud of the filipino youth they've help to dissolved defends one of their homes and friends and family that's why we are here to speak for the filipino for being discounted and set aside the filipino communities of central selma will not benefit for the following reasons the scaled affordable housing is out of reach for the low and extremely low income people we all service the filipino heritage district we hope for xutsdz an anti displacement element this project targeted for the weight will hasten the displacement of low extremely low income filipino families previous plans for the zone are

set aside and those plans were meant to protect the filipinos in the central selma supervisors the vision of this project will eventually result in a filipino heritage district that is not including filipinos that i will ends by thanking supervisor campos i don't know you but i've read with deep admiration you're planning with the communities among them many filipinos in our district you consulted and surveyed their needs and developed housing with them for them this is process sir, is to admirable and respectful of the people i believe that is the blueprint for the rest of san francisco if we were to adopt that process there would likely be no need to be here today.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> . >> (speaking foreign language.) >> supervisor kim. >> i have a question for vivian. >> i've heard the statement that the housing built ear not for filipinos when we were negotiating the ami similar to actually what several of you were at the table negotiating the giebts for one to two hundred and 50 percent ami the salaries for newer practitioners and open technologists and secondary middle school teachers and career technical teachers and special education teachers i guess my question if i feel like those are ami levels not available to filipinos are there noted filipinos teachers and nurses and if so i'll ask the first question.

>> oh, supervisor so i can only speak for the people i represent the people at table are low income people. >> you said initially in our first attempt is this is not 0 housing builds for filipinos i have to ask the question we're specific when he looked at the ami that fit within one and one hundred 50 percent i'm we're saying they're getting displaced primarily nurses and teachers they fit if the ami of one to one 50 percent you stayed this will not house filipinos i guess my question not filipinos. teachers and nurses >> yeah. supervisors i don't

represented o them only extremely low income filipino families they're the workers and incomes are lower of that of a nurse and teacher but the rest of the technical question i'm going to turn it over to jam i didn't and i'm sorry supervisor kim but according to you're showcasing board rules 4.19 not engage in a public discussion during a public discussion testimony. >> i'm clarifying it is done in the past. >> this is in the general public comment this is a public hearing during i cannot right now a discussion to engage in date between you know a back and forth between a member of the public and any clarifying kinds of questions. >> i know in the parts we've allowed that but it's fine this this situation. >> it's okay. ma'am, supervisor. >> supervisor kim but should

we step aside now. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'd like a translator plea please. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> i'm rudolph better a western edition in the tenderloin and part of tenderloin and work in the financial district when i first came to inform with my father i came to the selma and other

filipinos told you advised us this was a place you can afford to live and quickly find a job. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> over time i noticed less and less filipinos in the central selma from hotel and security guard and others that worked in the financial district and in the selma and tenderloin and mission are getting pushed out because of increased residence many were forced to

move to east bay because of expensive commute. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> even my neighborhoods e neighbors have changed a lot of or almost no names live in the building where hines live most work with the tech industry able to pay the double and triple rents the landlords are asking

for. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> is affordable housing you're creating for any neighbors those new neighbors because with if we look at the rental prototyped by 5 m i don't know any teacher or everyday workers that can afford this are we talking about is this because you don't want to see the faces of the people that provide you those services. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> what you're doing is not

right. >> rushed the 5 m and choose to speak to some people and not include some 5 m will put up a huge building in the middle of selma do you think that none will be displaced more line up on the screen side of the room will be greed i didn't it is this only for the rich >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so you should listen to those who live here and the organizations that help over residents we are asking for a continuance it seemed like you've made our decision because

some supervisors are biased you've made a deal with 5 m and the pair to get rid of the 5 m in th in the selma. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> we're already lost manila town it was taken offer yerba buena and pushing us to the tenderloin because what you're showcasing showing you it it isn't for us. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm from hunters point i wish mr. collin was here listen to this this start in

lot of art deals done by 5 m through the intersection in the arts communities and pitted artists against each other for the voices from the communities that are doing art from 5 m money that didn't make it out through the press this is about individual artists kind of having to duck it auto themselves one young woman they hired she was a latino screen printer and made her an assistant teacher that is one small example of shadyness i can't trust anything coming out, i live observe 20th and hampton sherry said to quickly talk about the ways in which i saw 20th evolved into a high contend order from a empty lots on the

corner of 20th and bryant when i moved into the neighborhood neighborhood that is the youngest balcony or bill in their from mission to potrero i don't see my neighbors a group home for those in substance abuse my place was a safe spot i don't see people on my stoop regretting the eir to put the exit community first and put the developers second again, i'm going to repeat that rejecting the eir is a tool you have to put the exist selma communities first and put the developers second. (clapping.) >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, thank you to the board of

supervisors for the time i'd like to thank the 5m historical and the bank of america plaza and the terms of america pyramid 5 m is so much bigger on paper but to the wanting the building broke ground and at the same time the i hotel eviction was taking place let's remember that the owners of the i hotel had the promise for housing it took over but that was promised not by the owners my question to you is do we want to have a repeat of the evictions do you want to evict on 80-year-old women are rounds of chemo and the thirty-year-old

to the hate ashbury where i grew up and lived 4 years in san francisco in the richmond be sunset and noah valley and sunset and mission i grew up watching willie mays hitting home runs i love san francisco it is my town i was wearing many hats and managed to spend 13 years as a handy man for self-help to the communities and the richmond district center i'm most proud of working with legendary social worker of manila town i've watched to form poetry it is painful to look at the lost past to see the direction of city i'm hoping i'm not getting into rhetoric you probably already heard recently we're expensed the

tragedy in paris we notices the that would be great are and variety of reactions to this atrocity but the sympathy has less amount they're not had overwhelmingly post red why people don't count. >> if we're going to stand point for values we hold dear it must be equal for all and careful what we build and stand for that each of us must be responsibly i refuse to determine news people of different backward i urge the compassion for all and guide over actions or we'll fail think outside the box reconsider our own personal levels of what that means as well as the species signed nobody from san francisco thank

you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm michelle a community volunteer and also a very large part of working group i'm here i hate to see what is happening in the selma been a first-generation fire extinguisher that is the filipino heritage district an important institution to san francisco here many people can learn about filipinos and their culture and others place around stockton san francisco had been one of the council unnecessarily opportunities in chinatown with the chinese and the japanese and north beach for the italians is hard to watch it disappear but what captured me was the fact there is not enough affordable housing they say there 40

percent but really it means zero not only will low and my mind income people not been able to afford this how are you two bedroom is priced range between 2 thousand to 4 thousand dollartolysis a low income person it will take half if not most of their income and won't leave them much for water and food and other things with the increase land value of this project the rent-controlled unit will go up not only in the selma but in the surround areas around it displacing more people and having to look further for more affordable income rentals so i'm asking the commission to re-evaluate this and work with the communities to find a better solution to the affordable

housing. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is scarring listen i'm a district one residents but i've been working and volunteering in the south of market since 2009 build build make a developer want to build and make a politician build build bystander you will for who completes take a step back and review forest city trying to tell our people they're building homes but our families what are re he relocation but the development not saying when they don't tell you about the housing of luxury they're to build builds can anyone talk about the shortage of affordable housing oh, wait we know the answer is capitalism and 5 m b will justify the racism and the communities just so you can build build

to the board of supervisors politicians come and go vote i or no when a explicit child's of history we need more analysis how this project will impact selma to the south of market we can't match the promises that forest city will give you we can't give white hats and dish anti $75 million for you're showcasing organizations and can't give priority in the housing they'll build but i promise we'll be there when they leave and if you're landlord so you one way or the other won't have to leave we'll be here of they want to build board of supervisors are you right or die for other people or going to let. build build or tell the developers or are you going to>>

thoughts on this you know, i on the city i think we need a bigger bait-and-switch by forest city i know just really go for it get a bigger bait-and-switch bigger pay off we need to go for that and you know get sf bart in here to get rid of the zone in the whole city this was we needs sf bart we need no zoning and no neighborhood plans just around that sf bart why not they have such a good plan and forest city should really open their hearts and displace people you you know so say this is this housing will not materialize it is a bait-and-switch so they have open their hearts and pour and seniors and the displaced people

and sleep on the love open space they're going to build that's my suggestion, of course, i'm face oozed i'm against the plan i'm working in a nonprofit supports difficulties with disability and make $28,000 a year this is not it possible you know maximum is 16th street and mission is like if you work in a nonprofit and you're an artist you can afford our housing that the bait-and-switch they said if you're an art and work in the nonprofit you can afford $60,000 a year i can't afford it needs to be drawing board thank you thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm jena a social worker for the past 13 years in

the slment the tenderloin and the excelsior area i'm i feel that affordable housing need to be on you're showcasing priority 100 percent affordable housing we don't need 4 hundred and 60 o 70 foot condo that displaces my community i've been working in the selma for 14 years i have seen familiarize becoming homeless where do they go i don't know and i think that is time to address the disparities that luxury condos bring into neighborhood and need to fight for the people that built the city and have been here for a long time the board cannot improve the project because of the displacement project i'm concerned that adapts elderly and the working-class community
