in the papers, we had heard something about there may be some nexus, and then we read further that there was some negotiation, and the permit holder could mitigate these problems. then, no one showed up en for that conversation. -- showed up for that conversation. one additional pharmacy is going to exacerbate this problem -- i did not say that flippantly, because i do not feel flip about it. i think it is a terrible situation in the tenderloin. i am very sympathetic to everyone who lives there. and i wish the police department and the board of supervisors and anyone else who had any authority concerning what goes on there would pay greater attention, but for someone opening a legitimate business there, with no scientific evidence that there is a nexus between opening their and some exhibition -- some exacerbation of the crime situation, i was uncomfortable. we have rules of this board, not rules, but the practice, if we match american -- one commissioner is absent, we would continue it to see that that missing commissioner which supplied that fourth vote. that is the situation we find o

i'm not sure what that nexus may be in this particular mansion? . we have no idea of the full range of language that was used in the reviews. we have the planning department's determination on the c.u. we have no idea what the permits do other than the general descriptions of them and i can see where one could make an argument, as an example, that if one was merging multiple units into one that, no doubt, is part of the conditional use application. however, i'm not sure that all elements of the permit are so clear cut as being related to the c.u. >> i would agree -- go ahead, please. >> i just wanted to say that's what i'm struggling with. irked put on the record, too, that i'm familiar with miss grant holley and then i consulted with her eight, nine years ago on a pro bono basis for a neighborhood issue and that will in no way affect my decision making today. but that -- vice president garcia:, if you don't mind, since i'm talking,

perhaps you see a nexus. i did not see anything abou this -- about his sales pitch. i would just say to mr. blackwell that if it is funding projects like yoshi's, perhaps there be a different position. thirdly, i would like to see the projected deficit by the mayor's office, i would like to know what assumptions he made regarding the june ballot initiatives. are they based on the initiatives passing? and we can have a clear understanding of the validity of the deficit. supervisor chu: next speaker, please. >> i'm a district 6 voter as well as the chapter organizer for californians for disability rights. the proposals coming down to eliminate in-house services for individuals will bring a lot of people into nursing homes and possibly the hospital system's at laguna honda. one of the reasons i got up to speak was because i believe that despite the fact that there is a large group of people that are retiring, there are also huge amounts of money being spent in the city for pensions, i believe that there is opportunities for generating and come. and a necessity to look a

in the mission area, and the interesting thing is that at this time, one, we are not sure about the nexus between that and the surrounding bars, and two, we are not sure if the bar have a permit in the first place. this may not be in our purview at all. we are just waiting for more information at this time, and that is all i have. thank you. president newlin: commissioners, any questions? any items from the public? seeing none, we will move on to item four. none. all right, item number five, a hearing and possible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment division. item a, artura angulo, dba southtown arcade, 447 stockton. >> a retail store on the union square side. as i understand, it will have local art from local artists and st. cultural items, and i know the applicants are year, and they can talk more about but, so it is not entertainment. it is simply a whole bunch of videogames that are mechanical devices. the hours of operation plant

perhaps you see a nexus. i did not see anything abou this -- about his sales pitch. i would just say to mr. blackwell that if it is funding projects like yoshi's, perhaps there be a different position. thirdly, i would like to see the projected deficit by the mayor's office, i would like to know what assumptions he made regarding the june ballot initiatives. are they based on the initiatives passing? and we can have a clear understanding of the validity of the deficit. supervisor chu: next speaker, please. >> i'm a district 6 voter as well as the chapter organizer for californians for disability rights.

and when they came here, they may live in the bay area, and they are in a nexus of intelligent people with great ideas. so, i think when we look at this, we know education has done an extremely important job, and giving them some compensation for the hours and hours they have to put in -- not just for meetings they have to attend, nothing meetings they attend with students, faculty members, but with overall things that they are not compensated for, i think this is a great amendment. i think showing the board of education lots of support in getting rid numeration for what they do send a strong message to the board of education. president chiu: next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors, members of the public. my opinion on education is a small part of intelligence. a lot of our intelligence comes from beyond the mind. that is something we do not teach in our schools. we do not teach it to think more from the hearts and less from the mines. because ultimately, the mind without its association to the heart is a baron and unproductive -- barren and unproductive and bland place.

i think all of these variables create a nexus. is the city and county of san francisco on the right track with its recycling program? how intimate is that meet with our recycling centers. i do not think that that is something that we can she done yet. >> we are very much on track with our program, higher in -- higher than any other city in the nation. what i was hoping today is that through this presentation, through grappling with neighborhood centers, finding possible options for redemption throughout san francisco. you are right on in saying that they need to coexist through a city wide strategy. which is what we're working for. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you, director. if the administration wants to speak to this, they're welcome. if not we will move in to public comment. i do not see any signals from the administration. supervisor avalos: unfortunately, i have to leave at 12 for a prior engagement. i actually do not want to see hanc evicted -- [applause] i was very impressed with one of their videos, the interviews with the

there is a nexus between all these hearings that are separated out. i urge you to reconsider certifying and approving the eir for those reasons. thank you very much. supervisor mar: next speaker. >> i am a resident of parkmerced. i am just a resident. it hurts me to think that such a beautiful and special place in san francisco would be destroyed for something that is so common. we are a unique city. this is a unique area. if you come out and see this area, you will see what i am talking about. i love my home. i grew up there since i was 11 or 12. i am a san francisco resident, native. this means a lot to me. i do not want to see parkmerced become like the fillmore. it will. many of my fellow natives in the city had to move to other cities. i talked to them all the time about how they cannot afford to be in this city. the reason i am able to stay in the city is because i have a place that is affordable for me. i would not leave parkmerced even if i made a lot more money. it means a lot to me. i continue to want to live there, no matter how much money

about, and i think this will be to relieve valuable for the community and the industry, establishing a nexus between the crime and the premises, and that does not always exist. to identify that. there are going to be occasions because of the nature of the business, everything will go wrong, and we all know that that day will come when every club is going to have its dark day, hopefully not very dark. having said that, we can always blame the clubs for everything, and we're heading in a direction that when we come to you, we want to have as strong of a credibility as possible. moving on to a totally different topic, very briefly, we were having a lot of problems with 1015 folsom. someone was traveling and communicating from a distance. they met with the club. we met with the club at southern station. celotex -- sound tech granelli was involved. there were some detailed injunctions filed against them, and although that injunction is not in play anymore, it was brought to this owner's attention that we need to start getting back on top of basic club's security and club good business practices.

here in the southwest there's a an nexus with a diverse region and a variety of species and the most quickest growing regions of the country. that generated a lot of conflict over the endangered species act. why is a state like arizona so bilogically diverse? a lot of people who don't live here don't realize that because of the deserts. a lot has to do with elevation. this map shows you the state and the colors are shaded according to the elevation above sea level. over here in yuma in the southwestern state you're at sea level, and here in flagstaff, the san fransisco peaks and big mountains, they are at 11,000 feet high. there's a big difference in elevation. you also see that with precipitation. this map shows you how much rain is expected to fall in an average year. over in the western deserts in yuma the average rainfall is 3 inches a year. here on mt. gram, it's over 36 inches a year, much of that falling as snow in the winter. a big difference in elevation and diverse climate. that translates into a very incredible array of ecosystems and has habitat. this is a simplification

it creates a sort of cutting edge nexus between technology and the arts. you might have heard the burning man is interested in coming to the neighborhood. bernie mahon is committed to putting a headquarters somewhere near six and market, but burning man and twitter are very nice complements. we also have another group doing similar economies/arts work. business is important because it prevents us from just having this area be an extension of downtown shopping. it will not be just a formula of retail expansion area. it will be a unique place. finally, and i think you will hear more about this later -- we believe twitter and companies like it will engage meaningfully with the neighborhood and the city, and they are excited to do that. going to turn it back to jennifer to present the proposal. >> i wanted to take a few minutes to talk about the actual payroll tax exclusion provision and the amendments that we are working with supervisor kim's office and introducing today. carla, small businesses would pay less than $250,000 do not pay a payroll tax in san for

biotech industry, we incentivize a particular alleviation of credits and yet it's not clear if that nexus shows if biotech did come to san francisco because of that particular alleviation, correct? >> what we know about the biotech tax credit is following the adoption of that tax credit, the city reasonably quickly got a higher share of regional biotech activity that had it passed. disentangling the tax credit from build out at mission bay is challenging to do and that's what our report concluded. frankly, i was aware of this issue of stock options of the payroll tax until i received this legislation and looked into the issue. it has not come up in our previous economic impact reports and that's the reason why it is a recommendation now. supervisor mirkarimi: on the amenities services, to make this a very attractive package, there have been references made about the need for dedicated muni line or some specialized service, enhanced policing, those services. i think a statement was made and they said that the system does not work in this neighborhood. my response to that is i think the sys

how perverse the system is they don't even have any comprehension of how far away they are from the nexus of the capital producing mechanism and then they larceny the digital arsing that's going on that's perverse yes it is and what makes it even more perverse is that what they're fighting for is the continuation both basically their entrapment desta truly perverse part of this is that the. the powers that are currently acting and they're causing vs riots protests rebellions whatever you want to call them they're basically fighting for their own survival and we shift that's happening is curse because we're driving towards a collapse and it's almost inevitable that we're going to have to scale apps again at some point and to a certain extent i think it may have already started with a credit freeze in two thousand and nine and the attempts to basically crittur our way out of the problem isn't going to result in hyperinflation necessarily oh there are people who are saying that it will so much as it's going to result in a completely evaluation system in which we arrive at some other new equi

commercial district -- vibrant, walkable commercial district, continuing to concentrate is really the nexus of the commercial life in glen park, making streetscape and public improvements that support this commercial activity. and then recognizing that new development in the future will come into glen park, so an objective to ensure that this is compatible with the special character in the surrounding area. and that the community should be involved in decisions affecting the neighborhood. and the third major objective is recognizing historic buildings and protecting them for the value that they place on neighborhood identity. transportation chapter, glen park community plan is largely a transportation plan. this is probably the biggest piece of the plan. and the plan is really talking about you know, what's paramount is improving pedestrian safety and walkability in this area. but also recognizing that this is a major local and regional transit center and that transit should be -- transit access should be improved as well including bicycle access. and then recognizing you know, that the tra
