about over and over again at the board of supervisors here. because of that, and because of the rapidity of gentrification for much of her work, being a leader in the field, that we've been able to moving a re-- move aggressively to stem that tide. there is now innovative solutions to not just stop but reverse displacement. there's been almost 1,200 units preserves or in the pipeline for seniors and other san franciscos vulnerable to displacement. she is one of the most dynamic developers in the bay area and i wanted to give her a special, special comment asian --

commendation for all the work she's done. please come forward and say a few words. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. had i known you were going to do this, i would have had to arm wrestle you. i could not agree more with everything that you said. caroline, you are a very special person. and if everyone had your brilliance, tenacity, urgency, and strategic skill, we would be thriving. i just want to thank you so much for your dedication to this community. you can do whatever you want to do and you have chosen to spend your life fighting for people that desperately need housing

that's affordable. it's a gift. it's a gift to the city. it's a gift to the mission district. it's a gift to meta. as the district 9 supervisor and so much of your working in district 9, it's a gift to me. thank you. thank you, thank you for your work. we appreciate you so much. we'll be by your side. congratulations. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. this is an amazing honor. when i started five years ago, i didn't think this is where i would be standing. to be rooted in san francisco today is very, very hard, as many of us know, who have been fighting for our family. in the mission district, it's been even harder. when i came it meta as a board

member 12 years ago, i kept on asking my co-workers who were working in san francisco and my peers, why aren't we doing anything about the mission district? why are we letting the narrative tell itself that this is another community that we can lose because the market forces can help because redevelopment can happen all over again. no one had the strength and tenacity to answer that question. working on meta's board and with luis, i realized that this board, even though they weren't doing housing at the time, had the vision to think, this neighborhood can stay as a neighborhood, welcoming immigrants and welcoming people to be in san francisco. so it's the team i work with.

junior folks who i've had the honor of working alongside and growing them so they can say this is where they want to be, that it's a pathway of work for them. i want to be sure that beyond community development, growing jobs for construction folks and for small businesses it's been keeping those in place. it's not my honor. it's the honor for the folks that i work with i appreciate all of you. thank you so much. i think that's it. making sure i didn't forget anything. thank you. [applause]

>> president cohen: thank you. congratulations. supervis supervisor nandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: i do.

excellent. we're going to talk today about united against hate week, which is happening november 11-18. and it's a call for civic action for people to stop the hate and biases that are a threat to the safety and civility of our towns and cities. last fall, when members of white supremacyist groups wanted to hold demonstrations, there was an idea that they were not welcome in the area. united against hate was a reaction to the sharp rise in our communities, with the coal of residents to take action and alter the course of this growing intolerance. we saw the heartbreaking murder of 11 worshippers at the tree of life synagogue and senseless

killing of two african-american seniors in a supermarket parking lot. we will be observing transgender day remembrance, saying the names of people who have been murdered in the united states this year. we were all affected by the crimes, but in san francisco, we think that these acts of hate don't occur here. in 2017, san francisco experienced a 31% increase of hate crimes. in the first two years of the trump administration, we're seeing reports of immigrants, muslims and other communities that has been targeted, yes, even here in our city. as the board's lgbt member i've heard an alarming number of attacks in castro and south of market. i'm proud that we're joining berkeley and oakland and want to thank mayor breed and her staff, especially the mayor's office for making that happen.

want to thank united against hate week to combat hate and violence and the co-chairs of the campaign, patrice o'neal, and jacqueline mccormick, as well as district 8 residents and super volunteer, susan porter-beckstead. i would like patrice to share more information. >> thank you. thank you, supervisor mandelman. we all know what's at stake. we've spoken about the dangers. we were at a screening with the district attorney's office, who says, normally she would handle five hate crimes at one time and new she's up to 15 all the time and it's increasing.

there are over 22 cities, cou counties and campuses across the bay area for united against hate week. it's an attempt by local municipalities, the leaders from cities, to join with their community leaders to say, we can do more if we act together. and the cities are saying, it's a social priority for us. with this comment asian, you are affirming that this is a social priority in this amazing city. we're proud that you are with us and hope that we can do more and more in san francisco next year. we hope this spreads. this is not a one-week thing.

no one can stop hate in a week. we have to do more. thank you for being with us. >> supervisor mandelman: we have some signs here and lots in our office. >> president cohen: thank you. [cheers and applause] are you taking a picture? thank you. congratulations to you, ms. o'neal. thank you. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, i have three special commendations that i will be presenting today. first of all, i want to

recognize ms. carol e. tatum. is she here today? carol, where are you? [cheers and applause] come on down, please. come on down to the microphone. this is carol e. tatum. she is so wonderful. this is a recognition long overdue. she's been a resource to the community. a mother, grandmother, aunty, to many people, not only her children. she's raised her family in visitation valley neighborhood. i want to say in recognition of your accomplishments as a community leader for your advocacy and supporting women in business, young community developers and being an outstanding resident, it's a privilege to recognize you and your outstanding leadership. this is a woman of high moral

and ethical character. she knows what she's talking about. and she does it with style and grace. so i'm privileged to be able to recognize you in front of this body. it is well overdue and deserves. ladies and gentlemen, welcome and acknowledge carol e. tatum. [cheers and applause] >> wow. i want to say thank you, first of all, good afternoon, board of supervisors. i want to say thank you to supervisor cohen, someone who i watched grow from a young woman to a strong leader. 5 also want to congratulate her as she is going to be serving on the board -- state board of equalization. [applause] >> president cohen: thank you.

>> i want to do that first and foremost. i have family and friends in the room and i want to thank you as well. i would ask you to please stand up. >> president cohen: family and friends, look at that. >> thank you so much. i'm honored that i'm one of the african-americans in san francisco who has not been outmigrated. i want to say that first and foremost. it's been wonderful growing up in the city. i came here in 1955. i went to james denman middle school, balboa high school, city college of san francisco and san francisco state university.

and social services and advocacy, and work alongside so many leaders. a lot of them women leaders, leaders such as ms. elois westbrook, ms. shirley jones, and the first advocate woman that i came in contact with was ms. mary helen rodgers, while working at way pack, the citizens arm to deal with redevelopment in what was the fillmore and now is the western addition as it was being discombobulated and people were being moved out. i had the great fortune to work with the honorable doris ward,

eileen hernandez, frankie gillette, who is in the room, and so many others. i am the president of san francisco professional business women. some of them are also in the room. one of the proudest things that i did in san francisco, and that was, to be a part of the coalition whose efforts resulted in the ordinance that prohibits smoking in public places in san francisco. that was in 1995. worked in bayview-hunters point for many, many years. employment, training for young people. teaching young women the dangers of tobacco, first and secondhand

as it relates to the developing fetus, to children under the age of 2, so that was mothers who were pregnant. that was women of childbearing age, and that was women who had children under the age of 2 years old. i've had the opportunity to live and be in san francisco, anything that i did, i hoped that it would help somebody. it's a pleasure for them to say, you gave me my first job. i bought my first house. it's in vacaville, but i bought a house. or, ms. tatum, i stopped smoking. those things are important to me. and i'm honored today to have

four generations in the room. myself, grandchildren, and a great granddaughter. [applause] so i want to thank you, supervisor cohen, thank you so much for this honor. >> president cohen: thank you. and thank you, ms. tatum. [cheers and applause] i'm going to make two more commendations and then i will come down and take pictures and present you with your certificate of honor. the next person i want to recognize is, two folks leaving us, sonali bowes and dylan mang.

both of those two fine people will leave city service. dylan has been an angle. he's been with the sfmta for four years. and he has left us as the local government affairs manager. he was liaison between us and the city. dylan has been fielding constituent issues. emailing us follow-ups and checking in via text message for any issues he's been invaluable to each and every one of us on the board. and, dylan, we are sad to see you go. you have big shoes to fill for

the next permanent person to take on that position. he is going to comcast. he will be advocating and connecting communities. we're very happy to have a familiar face managing the relationships with comcast. dylan, i want to give you an opportunity to say a few remarks. thank you. >> thank you. president cohen, members of the board, madam clerk, colleagues and friends, thank you for this great honor and for the opportunity to speak. i'm so touched by your words and they mean so much to me. thinking back starting on broadband adoption, and heading up, there is nothing like the

city's dynamic legislature. the city and this time and no one like you all. and for that, i'm grateful. helping to understand the need for investment in transportation through the geo bond passage. it feels full circle. and for me, to return to where we were 18 years ago, and from working with city, family, it's essential to the transportation system. emerging technologies, privacy and different modes of transportation, i've had the privilege to witness the commitment and dedication of you, your staff, people around me and participate, i hope, in some small way to the great work of the sfmta and the city and anything that may have accomplished has been through my

colleagues, folks in this chamber, in this building, including the mayor's office from the late mayor lee, rest in peace, mayor farrell and mayor breed. looking at the staff box, i remember working with nicole eat anne, andres, power and others, also with the chair peskin and sfmta board and stake holders 1 in this transformative and disruptive time. and i believe i've had one of the best seats in the house. i want to thank kate breen in helping with this. and i would like to acknowledge my colleagues in the agency affairs division, janet

martinson, and j.d. wisilko, and how they quietly and effectively further protect the agencies and transportation interest. it is true leadership and made it possible to do anything we may have accomplished. i want to thank my wife, trish, and my in-laws, and 7-year-old daughter. if i can borrow from my favorite supervisor, but from president cohen, look into the camera like she does. i want to thank my daughter nadia, for the voice messages, and notes in my bag, when i had to work late and knowing when i'm not with you, i'm probably here. and we'll watch this on sfgov tv later. i'm grateful to be recognize

with sonali bowes. who has been a leader and mentor and friend to me. thank you for the tremendous honor and opportunity to speak. >> president cohen: thank you and thank you for your service. [applause] the next person or personality that i will bring up, is a prickly one. you all know ms. sonali bowes. she's been with m.t.a. for over 10 years. director of finance and information technology during this time, she's built broadband coalition to improve the transit system. she has overseen investment like the t line and important policy discussions around investing and getting to investing and creating vision zero. want to recognize her rolling out the bike lanes and this is a

leader that is a true speaker. it can be a breath of fresh air and can make a difficult meeting more difficult with her truth. i will miss service san francisco with you. before we give you an opportunity to speak, i want to recognize supervisor peskin. he has a few remarks as well. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. a few words for this woman if you do not know her. the statute of limitations has not run on that, so i will not tell that story. [laughter] the 10 of you think that you made me chair of the t.a. the truth is, it was her idea. and while muni has hiccups, when i was first supervisor, the

financial house works perfectly and that's a decade plus of work. if you have not gotten a text in the middle of the meeting when she's balancing the books and appropriating millions of dollars. then she will text you and say, what the heck are you doing? and she holds us accountable. i don't know if i would use prickly, but i would say she has stood up to politicians and other folks high up in the government. sometimes at her own peril. i think there was a mayor or two that wanted to show her the door, but they could not get rid of her. sonali -- [speaking foreign language] [applause]

>> supervisor kim: i also wanted to thank and acknowledge and commend sonali for your 20 years of service to the city. i'm very familiar with the text messages during meetings and committees. and i'm always so impressed that you are able to watch us and keep track of the ordinances and what we talk about and i do look forward to seeing you at public comment on the last monday of november on eliminating citywide minimum parking requirements. so i look forward to seeing you as a member of the public at that land use committee. i want to thank you for your passion. i first got to meet you on the streets when i was campaigning for supervisor and i stopped you and asked you to sign my form to put my name on the ballot. and i don't remember what you did. we lived in the same building for a number of years. when i got on the board of supervisors, you were the first to reach out and offer me advice

and mentorship and even just a shoulder to lean on and maybe cry on at times during my first years on the board. what i have to say is that it was so -- your commitment to the city is so clear. the reason why you come into work every day, you wanted to run the best transit city. you were admonishing us or thanking us for the work we were doing to follow your vision thank you for your passion, your smarts. i'm not sure what we would have done without you. i'm glad to have your service. >> thank you, supervisor kim. [applause] >> president cohen: next we'll hear from supervisor brown. >> supervisor brown: 5 want to thank sonali and dylan. sonali, you were our go-to

person as an aide when we needed to find out what the truth was. what is really happening? i was very excited to see that you are standing strong and i'm sad that you are leaving. i understand. to be with the department that look and do the work you've done, you should be proud. i think we're all really proud of you. and, dylan, thank you very much. yes, you have always been really responsive and that's so important for us because, you know, it seems like everything is last-minute and it's an emergency for us. so we just really appreciate that and tell your daughter thank you. >> thank you. gosh, i've known sonali for as long as i've been in city hall you've been there at m.t.a. it seems to strange that you are

leaving. a lot has been said. it always made me feel good that you were there being watchful with different directors and different staff changes as well. enjoy your life after retirement. dill aylan works with our offic knows about the muni tracker, because we have so many complaints that arise about muni that we often have to send it to dylan and we have to help us triage and figure out answers to a lot of questions. so i know you deal with us when we're in frustrated situations.

i know that you can work to get back to get muni running. and thank you for your years of service. and i wish you all the best. >> president cohen: we have one more. supervisor peskin likes to come around twice. >> supervisor peskin: once you get back from your trip and you want something to do, we can send you to clean up the finances of the housing authority. >> oh, boy. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you, supervisor peskin, take it away. >> i'm so humbled by the accolades. i don't have a speech like dylan prepared. i feel sad to leave the m.t.a. it's an agency that i know you get frustrated with the agency, but i have to tell you, there are some great people there that care about the system and really

want to make a difference. i'm leaving you with your work and working to make sure that i can find muni when i need to and it's not crowded and i can find a seat. we don't appreciate what we have in this city and having lived across the world, i can tell you, it's one of the best systems. so please be kind to the folks at muni and m.t.a. and i want it send a shoutout to my family. a lot of staff are working a lot of hours with little praise. i consider many of you my family. i will still text you on things that i don't think you are doing correctly. i'm not losing your phone numbers.

it's not goodbye. i will make sure you doing the right thing for the system. thank you, all. [applause] >> president cohen: sonali and dylan, come into the well. we can take a picture and let's stand behind the honorees.

[applause]

>> supervisor peskin: this is out of order, but i want to acknowledge that today is supervisor stefani's birthday. happy birthday. [applause] >> supervisor stefani: thank you.

>> supervisor brown: thank you. i can't believe i have to do this with my first legislation an 11-0 vote but i have to rescind the vote because i forgot these amendments. >> president cohen: we have a motion and a second. >> supervisor brown: so i think i have to do another vote. >> clerk: yes. you will offer your amendments. >> supervisor brown: thank you. >> president cohen: do we take a roll call vote? >> clerk: vote was rescinded on item 43 and now you will make your amendments and read them into the record? >> supervisor brown: yes. there's some housekeeping amendments. one was taking offer the fillmore. but then also, some words that

needed to be amended like an s taken off of sections and things like that, so it was housekeeping pretty much, right, john? >> city attorney, pure clean-up amendments to fix some errors. >> like 10% and putting in 10 percent. >> supervisor brown: something like that. >> clerk: can we get a motion to accept the amendments? do we need a roll call vote? >> supervisor peskin: we can take it without objection. >> clerk: we need a roll call since the house is different.

>> roll call vote. >> clerk: on item 43 as amended -- [roll call vote] >> clerk: there are 10 ayes. >> motion is adopted. >> clerk: for clarity, madam chair, the ordinance was passed on first reading as amended.

>> can we continue with item 44? >> clerk: order nantz to amend the planning code and zoning map to establish the 430 29th avenue special use district to make the appropriate findings. >> same house, same call? >> clerk: supervisor fewer is on the -- >> supervisor fewer: thank you. i introduced this legislation to create the special use district at the request of saint peter's to allow them to renovate their buildings and lease the space for community service nonprofits. i agreed to the proposal on the condition that they would do outreach and help to mitigate any concerns they might have. i've been sensitive to concerns that it could have parking and

traffic impacts on the residential neighborhood, which is why i ensure that this will be exclusively for administrative office use with no direct services. will only prevent the influx of traffic that could result from receiving the service. i'm happy that it can be revitalized and used to serve the community rather than an eyesore. i want to thank supervisors tang, kim and safai for passing this out of land use with a positive recommendation. i hope to have all of-co my colleagues' support. thank you. >> same house, same call? this ordinance is adopted on first reading. madam clerk, item 45. >> clerk: an ordinance to amend

the planning code to create a new use allowing flexible multiuse retail, permitting pop-up retail in commercial spaces, flexible retail in certain districts, arts activities to affirm the ceqa. >> supervisor tang: i'm excited to create a new category under the planning code. i want to thank all the districts, who have also joined on to this legislation, as we're trying to create more flexibility for small businesses in san francisco. it's not a problem unique to san francisco, but really nationwide, where we're struggling with empty storefronts and the negative impact that it has on communities as a result. with e-commerce and everything

you can buy on-line, there is less and less. so we will interchange without having to go to planning department each and every time. it includes things like arts activities or limited restaurants, to retail personal services. underlying zoning will apply. we don't anticipate it will get around zoning issues. we are looking at six categories of uses and want to make an amendment to page 5, 18-20, to say that flexible retail is two of the following and i'm adding

distinct that may be operated by one or more business operators. i want to thank my colleagues and thank you for helping us with this. it's a little challenging for enforcement, but we hope that this is one of many tools that can help more small businesses survive in san francisco. with that, i make that motion. >> president cohen: motion has been made by tang and second by safai. we're going to go to supervisor brown. >> supervisor brown: thank you, supervisor tang, for crafting this legislation.

lower haight, haight ashbury, fillmore has been struggling. it's just that retail is changing and the changes are presented, presenting challenges for brick and mortar small businesses and corridors that they make possible. we need it support our merchants as they adopt with these times. our small business people will adopt and thrive, but it's important that we as a city don't get in the way of the changes. i know we're all looking at these issues and i accept that we are as how to help. i also plant to bring forward some legislation in the coming weeks, focusing on street lining some aspects with the goal of helping our merchants. i want to make a plug to highlight one of the aspects of the legislation. it cleans up what, in my mind, is a hole in the evolution of our code that prohibited arts

activities, as a use of virtually all of our citicorp do-- city corridors. a lot of people are using these but didn't realize it was not in the code. i'm just so happy that we're sele rectifying this. i just want to thank my staff for working on this >> president cohen: supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: i appreciate what we began this as talking about a startup for the

small businesses. we were able to streamline that process and businesses were permitted and planning department said they were principally permitted are able to move that in an aggressive manner. this is the second phase of that. my district suffers from a significant number of storefronts and vacancies. what this allows for is the ability for businesses to pool their resources together to many cases as startup costs are difficult, tenant improvements are difficult. it allows for businesses to work together to share the costs and share space. as supervisor brown said, we moved as part of last year's process on notification to amend our neighborhood commercial district to allow for arts uses. we've been able to activate a few of the spaces with activities and one of them in particular, sharing space with

two organizations doing arts work, and training for after school youth. we're excited about this. in many ways, some of this happens already. it's not necessarily permitted. and now this allows for the planning department to work with our staff. and we appreciate the flexibility of the planning department working with us, no pun intended, on the word flexibility. but it's truly a joint effort and i want to thank supervisor tang for taking this and allowing us to be a part of it. and i know my district is benefiting from it. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. a motion has been made. if we could take this and accept amendments, we can take this without objection? thank you. thank you. as amended, without objection,

item 45? as amended. and without objection. madam clerk, i believe it is -- it's 3:21. let's move to our 3:00 p.m. special order. >> clerk: 57-60 washington square water conservation project appeal. public hearing of purposes in environmental review under the environmental quality act -- >> president cohen: would you call 61-68 first? we're going to take them out of order. >> clerk: these items comprise of persons hearing of an environmental impact report at 450-474 o'farrell street and 532

jones street. items 62, 63 and 64 are associated with that portion. the environmental impact report certification and items 65-68 comprise the appeal of conditional use authorizization for the proposed project at 450-474 o'farrell street and 532 jones street. >> president cohen: colleagues, what we have today. we've received notices that the appeal for the environmental impact report for the proposed project at 450-474 o'farrell street and 532 jones street has been withdrawal. i want to recognize supervisor kim. i wanted to see if you had any

remarks to indicate that you have reached an agreement on this project. >> supervisor kim: thank you. a resolution was reached on the appea appeals. conditional use and environmental appeal. we're glad that we can move forward with this project. so, colleagues, we do have to open up for general public comment on this item, but i will make a motion to table the appeal and move forward with the environmental determination. >> president cohen: we will need to take public comment on these items, but before proceeding to public comment, if the appellants are here, are they

here? all right. would you like to say a few words before we appreciate? >> mike buehler, on behalf of san francisco heritage. we are pleased to we've reached an agreement allowing it to proceed and uptown district. heritage no longer objects to the certification of e.i.r. and rejecting the conditional use appeal. >> president cohen: seeing there are no other names on the roster. let's open up for public comment. you will have an opportunity to come forward now. you will speak for 2 minutes. thank you for your comments. welcome, sir. we'll begin with you.

>> thank you, madam president. this is massive and overly dense project is indicative of something larger and overreliance of the term "housing crisis." we get so much built that has two elements to look at. a rectangle with windows. there are no sills or arches, nothing recessed. there is no cornice or moldings or -- there are no bay windows. if we look at 1075 market, set with six older buildings. land buildings don't have the features. we need some bland buildings now and then for variety. but it's unnecessary for new buildings to be built in this

manner. if we look at something simple like 246, it's better than the stuff we have an the 1100 block of market or 1200 block of market. all the buildings at geary and van ness, the west side of clay and larkin. these buildings have no soul. nothing to look at. the developers and architects have decision regarded their duty to have an exterior that adds to the beauty of the city instead of crushing it. ceqa doesn't consider the dimension, but most of us know

better. the planning commission has not appreciated my comments, but the public -- >> president cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> all these projects that we're displacing the original nationality is not gentrification, it's discrimination based on geographical location. this is supposed to be 170 h-un apartment complex, same technique that you use in your system. one demonstration that was made by the president, you came out with an a.p.i. scale of the incomes. and made it a bulletin poster sized and turned it to your

colleagues. and then you have one of your co-workers, aides, pointing to 55% of the income of the people that would be able to afford to live in the apartment building complex. i believe that came to $44,400. and then you deliberately lied and said that this is the starting range and people can apply whose income is below. that's a bold-faced, pathological low. if your income is below the target range of a.p.i., the mayor's office on housing won't even accept your application and another lie was told where you said your aide was making $57,000 a year as an instructor at the malcolm x school. teachers start off at about $30,000 a year and work their way up. i object to that treatment. the only way to bust you is to get you in the federal building in front of a federal district

court judge because you are doing price-fixing and price-gouging. and about the shipyard, the federal government is now joining in on the lawsuit pertaining to fraud and you still denied the fact that that land is contaminated and you want to give recognition to one of the ladies that's dying.

i'm talking about racism. i'm talking about pay to play. corruption. there's a new thing, y'all, it's called pay and turn the other way. did you hear what i say? it's a new thing. i'm going to introduce you to the city by the way. it's called pay and then they turn the other way. reason why they do that. let's talk about the city inspections. let's talk about building going down to the rock bottom down there where the building is leaning. someone got paid and turned the other way. let's talk about in the filmore. our black businesses are gone.

supervisor, our black businesses are own. the only one there is african americans. they're not black americans. pay and turn the other way. then out there in bay view, where you have the super fen. billions. the federal. someone paid and turned the other way. it's a new system here. not pay to play. but pay and turn the other way. >> next speaker. >> good evening. our afternoon. my name is amos gregory. i'm the founder of the san francisco veteran's mural project. some of the supervisors may know of our project. it's a mural project that resides in the tenderloin. we created this project seven years ago on the walls of

shannon street which run adjacent to the project that the church is attempting to build. we've attended every single planning meeting with the exception of the last one, which i was sick. we've always advocated for the community. we've never talked about veteran's alley's needs. we've advocated for the community to have more affordable housing percentage. we've advocated for the community to have this thing, not be a huge dark tower, 13-storeys standing above six-storey apartment complexes that are already there. today we have to talk about veteran's alley and our needs as a project. with our project, we essentially started off because we had no other space in this city. it used to be called crack alley. we can't have arts organization and non profits supported us so we went out there and did this project ourselves.

over the years we've grown and we've included within this project so many other people in our community. we have a school program and we work with community members within the s.r.o.s that around there that are non veterans. we've created a landmark. what we see today, is with this agreement and that they're pushing forward we look at all the non privilege its that have sat behind this project and have have had agreements negotiated and all of these different non profits are not anywhere near veteran's alley. all of these different non profits are never in veteran's alley when we're actually doing work. >> thank you, sir. your time is up. yoyou have to ra link wish the c

and let someone else speak. your time is up. next speaker. >> you had your two minutes to speak and that's it. deputy. >> president cohen: next speaker. >> my name is michael nolte and one of the many titles that i have is on the board of that alley. i just got here so i'm not sure all the things that have been said. i do have concerns about how a development that is going to be market rate coming into to our neighborhood is going to gentrify our neighborhood. we have concerns about that. i'm also the alliance for district 6. i'm the executive director. our organization deals with preservation of
