. >> michael barrett, richard hanlon, james bosworth. >> good afternoon. >>> good afternoon. thank you for having us at this meeting today, the mta board. mr. nolan and all board, i'm michael barrett. i'm a member of save muni. for four years here in san francisco. i'm here to address the central subway construction option of north beach * . our last meeting was november 19th, which has been mentioned, when we finally had representatives of the mta present what they plan to do, and nobody in north beach had heard or agreed with any of it. so, i mentioned at that meeting that i have never missed a vote. i've been in this city for 45 years, but i couldn't remember having voted on this project. i was informed correctly that the taxpayers voted for the subway in the late 1990s for a $6 47 million expense, which is now $1.58 billion, with a b. the whole project is too little too late. and the mta has made cost cuts, but prices continue to rise. as required by the federal law, the city of san francisco must pay for all overruns on this project. i ask the mta board what are your lat

. >> james bosworth, craig fonaro, lance carnes. >> good afternoon. >>> hello, my name is james bosworth and i am here in support of the chinatown and north beach business communities in their opposition to the central subway. ever since the construction of this project, this organization known as the mta has been using lies, trickery and deception to economically terrorize the chinatown and north beach business communities by limiting consumer accessibility, by using the construction blockade the mta has been committing larceny against these business communities and will curtail them from enjoying the economic boom from the america's cup. as we all know, this public hearing is a formality. the decision to approve this project has already been made prior to this hearing. it is a huge waste of money because you could have just run rails up concern i street instead. the polls are still there where the 16th streetcar were. for what? so you can be reliable for the deaths in an earthquake in a project that uses flawed engineering [speaker not understood]? how can you sleep when you know you p

he made us feel something for him, you know, on the beatle of bosworth field. we started to hurt for him and we hate ourselves for it. because he couldn't help himself. >> how did he do that? >> he did that by making richard frightened. afraid of his own guilt. and you saw the cracks appearing in this, what we thought was just a brutal cold murderer. and now we see a tad of humanity. >> now do we see a bit of that in macbeth as well. >> we doment we see a lot of that, that is why it is so brilliant because here we see a cold blooded murderer, macbeth who starts thinking about murdering the king as soon as he become becomes-- instantaneously. he knows it's horrible. and yet he takes us with him on the psychological journey, oh my gosh, my moth weernt be happy with me. i don't know what my wife is going to say. but i've got to do it i can't stop myself. my managings are horrible. an we've all had horrible managings, haven't we. >> we have indeed. >> so that's the problem. all of those criminals, all the people in his text are us. it's very hard to separate oursel
