here. victor jones is in the back. i spoke to him earlier. a lot of folks have a lot of value in this community and we understand that. we will do everything we can to get those faces seem more and have more of a positive impact on our community. kimball field. renee strong as year, the new facility coordinator here in hamilton. she's terrific and an icon in this city and apartment. the community is fortunate to have here. i was thrilled when she accepted that position. she is welcomed here and she is doing a terrific job. the city field foundation came in and spent $3.3 million on a new field. it changed the way that field was used to dramatically. all of us can agree that it has activated that field tenfold. the key is that we make sure it is the correct activation, right? it is not folks coming from all over the city or outside the city to be able to use it. it is a destination field with a real value to the people in the community. we need to make sure that the seahawks and other folks

earlier, an african man was crying here, and a latino woman was crying here. that is a crime, a travesty. that they are crying of here, and these people are pandering to larry ellison. he is worth $18 billion. right? he got the city to give him all kinds of tax breaks, property, everything else. that is who they pandered to and try to tell us we are the problem. it is a crime. these police officers should be addressing them -- for arresting them. san francisco is controlled by the white, the wealthy, and their businesses and corporations. they do not come to a town hall meeting and get two minutes to a top. larry ellison had his ear right away. they stuffed the agenda. they profit from san francisco, and i will tell you -- their agenda is not our agenda. me? i do not give a fuck about race. fat is not my agenda. we need health care. we need services. we do not need more rich white men and their agenda.
