about a whole bunch of people have a safe available placed to call home from day one one of the most important things to me to build housing all over san francisco. and to remove the obstruction that gets into the way of our ability to do so this is probably one of the most fourth amendment things about san francisco the bureaucracy a city of love i'm glad we're becoming a city of yes, sir. and making things happen to what has happened not past i will say this is always a person for me, i grew up down the street on eddy street and before that 1133 another street i can go on and on i grew up there and my mom

and torn down three hundred units we're coming back. and those are some the problems that have happened in the past with housing production and what did we think if we didn't bring back those units i was in sunnyale i'm so excited was happening seven hundred units you should to 17 hundred unions and the hub of the guidelines with at the daycare and the seniors with kids in class learning and a couple of other things that sadly so many of my friends lost their kids to gun violence that was thriving and feeling good people worked there now have have they're other place in the neighborhood why is all that important? it is important because we can't, backwards

could not go back wards in housing production in san francisco we can't say no to opportunities like this and what is so great about that project during the pandemic so it was a safe place and now today after breaking ground too year ago with the funding and with the policies we're here and people are able to move in. this is amazing we're going from taking 10 years to produce affordable housing to doing it in 2 and three years because of state legislation like sb 423 leveling you want housing and see hours but at the end of the day, oftentimes people say wait a minute not across the street where i live don't want it there because of new state laws they can't say no and things will

start happening. over san francisco. and no-brainier what can't be figure that in trick or treaters are going on in that what will heap for the future of san francisco and will a gamer for people's lives this is why this is so important. and people say all 70 units are a safe affordable place 70 people will have a person who is here 7524/7 to watch over the building that is 70 people have the great access to a social worker when they need the support. that is the work that we are doing in san francisco and that is the work that i'm so proud to have led on and that is why i'm so happy and grateful for the work done by the different agencies to make 3 happen and important
