the only feasible way to underground these boxes is with a living room-sized the vault with air-conditioning and hot and cold running water. i believe there are alternatives. the only way we are going to know that is to get an independently performed eir that looks at the alternatives and does not just present the options that they want us to see. also, putting boxes on private property has not really been adequately explored. there are a lot of ways to get around access, including lockboxes and easements. thank you. i asked you to vote to support an eir on this project. president chiu: sir, you spoke before. >> i was answering one specific question. the forfeit my -- president chiu: my apologies. you did not. >> kurt hoslinger. i hope you will support a full eir. there is not enough information. expert testimony will come forward, rather than relying on at&t, which pretty obviously in my mind, with the issue about private property -- they simply say we cannot do it. don't give us any hurdles. it is our city too. we can do better. i hope someone will pursue this with the planning department.

well, those folks have air conditioning. and they were in the third and fourth tier. they were paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month. pg&e said, this is unfair to them because the cost of delivering this service to them is way less than what they're actually paying and it's really working on fairness. so the great number of people that are paying these higher rates are not the larry ellisons and the steve jobs. so as a result, pb and e said, let's make this more fair. let's cut the price at the top and raise it a little bit at the bottom and essentially what will happen is people at the bottom who pay a little bit more, new year's so many of them, will make up for the number of people. then they threw in this proposal that everybody should have kind of like a hookup fee, a special service fee, $2.40 for low-income people a month, $3 a month for the rest of us. that was uniformly rejected by the cpuc. they did adopt this system whereby there will be a reduction in costs, about a 17% to the people who pay the highest a mounts in the state, a slight increase fo
