i'm brad paul and speaking today as a father and individual with over 30 years of experience in housing and land use policy in san francisco. i support this project as currently proposed for economic reasons, humanitarian reasons and design reasons. on the economic side you've heard that lowering this increases the operating losses. while i appreciate the mayor's office of housing offer to cover those losses i agree with commission erron miguel who said i understand what the word "covering" means. it means you're taking that $500,000 or so away from some other deserving project to make this work. we can't afford to do tt. on the humanitarian side, that's nine fewer projects each year but over the life of the project, that's hundreds of fewer kids who will not have their lives changed for the better because of this. these are kids that are at the greatest risk of homelessness, of ending up in jail. with the income they're going to have they can't afford cars. they will take one of the seven muni lines that serves the site. but i think the biggest reason to support this is the consequence
