nonplus ultraoperates the building that supervisor haney mentioned at 10 van ness street. it is a very cool, old building in san francisco that is entitled or in the process of being entitled for development. rather than it sitting empty, we were able to coordinate some fun events to subsidize the community. this legislation goes beyond just this property, but it goes into whole gamut of different things throughout the city and county of san francisco. the process to get a building entitled is a long and somewhat arduous one in the city. and without activation such as parking garages, this legislation will allow for my company, other non-profits, some of the folks that are displaced from san francisco, to get into these development projects and really be able to call that place home for that 3-5 year period if this legislation were to pass. it's a significant community benefit because these spaces would otherwise be empty and have no real access to public. again, i'm in full support. thank you for your time. i hope that we can get this passed. >> thank you. next speaker, p

mile stretch of market street between van ness and the city. >> good morning to you. yeah, we were driving down market street and we could already see the signs they're officially unveiled no private cars on a portion of market street and you can see there was a taxi there. going to be a little bit of growing pains as these new changes are under way. this is the first day of changes for downtown san francisco's iconic boulevard. the san francisco municipal transportation authority says this is phase one in a major transportation to make market street more inviting, more efficient, and most of all safer for all of those who walk, cycle or scoot along with. market street has long been heavily traveled. cyclists, pedestrians and racking up more injury accident annually. but everyone will still be able to cross market. includes cars are excited ardrivers not. >> if my husband's home late i get worried he got hit and there's going to be a call from the hospital. so i'm really hoping to have those fears go away as it gets better and better. >> it sucks. it's absolutely horr

a lot more information so i think personally that that the infrastructure and the overall prepared ness that is in place at the moment it's probably suffered just enough to be vigilant enough and to catch the cases that my ligaments actions right now we have 40 deaths and i have a. 100 people infected there are likely of course a lot of people who have been in contact with the virus so how much worse do you think it will get before it starts to get better. well it's i think probably too early to predict this one however if we look on to the previous diseases i think we have not reached to the platter but there are still teams that need to be done more onto the reporting system and especially are looking into the what are the factors that are contributing to to suppress the infection between different people and what are the main strategies that are effectively working against them so until we do those conclusion is probably a little too much to undertake that inspection or declining in coming coming weeks i think it's too early to predict anything on that absolutely out of work to be do
