maybe that sounds glib, but it's important to think about the children and neighborhoods like the excelsior. i think there should be an occupancy study of all the luxury condos built in the last 10 years in the eastern neighborhoods to see are they really occupied full-time? what are usage? metadata, you can get a sense of who occupies and how often. you look at your water bill away and when you're here, they change. quickly, understanding the geology of san francisco. understanding the land use history of san francisco. including what happened in the 70s. the gentrification displacement of the last two decades and it's a city of renters. i have a long list of understanding the r.h. neighborhoods. the money bomb in some neighborhoods. the rgds need to be strengthened and reinforced. the importance of mid block open space. is that a place to capture carbon? more efficient use of interior space and new constructions. problems with excavation on 25 by 114 lots. demolitions versus alteration. reports to preserve viable housing. and assessment of densification as it occurs. and finally, close an

one of the operators i'm thinking about has one in my area, one in the excelsior and bayview hunters point. they're often single-family homes that have been converted into usable residential care facilities. so really appreciate this legislation. i think during the 18 months that it would be behoove us -- and i'm sure supervisor mandelman and yee will engage with the department of public health to be sure the reimbursements are correct, where they're actually allocated and located, it would be good to know the total number of these in san francisco. i know you have percentages in terms of how many have been lost over the course of time. says there 101 assisted-living facilities and since 2002, 43 facilities we've lost 43. so i guess that would put the number close to the mid 60s, 70s remaining. so what can we do during that time to preserve those? and also what can we do during that time to increase those back up to where we were just not long ago, in 2012? i know there is a push and i know the announcement was made to use some of the small site acquisition money. i support that. i t

my name is julie, i'm a licensed clinical social worker at, in the mission and excelsior. we have about 12,000 patients, we have over 40 years working with latin communities, mostly immigrants and children of immigrants, in san francisco. medical care is one of the first services that newcomers seek out when they come to the u.s. they come for their kids vaccines to get birth control, or to treat health problems that are the result of harsh conditions on their journey to the u.s. angelina and marissa have already given you a very detailed and comprehensive look at what some of their needs are. when newcomer families come into our clinic, they are not there to seek mental health services, which is what i generally provide. so, instead, we help people with what is most urgent to them, food and shelter, legal advocacy, getting their kids to school or child care. most newcomer families are not here voluntarily, they are here because of vibrance, or jobs that make it impossible for them to farm their land. many are from rural areas, this is their first time in a city the size o

the excelsior project today only had four blocks of unbroken bike lanes, only four blocks. and then 2 to 3 more years to get transit improvements. the sixth and taylor project has been going on for years, and no bike lanes in the final design. i went to one of the outreach meetings and sfmta staffers had no data to keep bike lanes out, even if it was in the original design. and mentioned before, stockton street was entirely returned to the cars after, you know, all of that central subway construction. based on evidence, i don't think the sfmta takes vision 0 very seriously. we need more car-free streets for the tenderloin, more protected bike lanes, protected intersections, transit only lanes. articles in newspapers often only asked merchants and don't ask transit riders. with reliable transit and bike lanes, people will ride them. as director borden said, people don't bike because it is dangerous. all of these things need to happen on every project. >> thank you. >> by default. >> thank you very much. >> time is up. >> marcell, harold, michael. >> thank you. my name is mar
