part station, 63-year-old filipino woman who had been living in the bart station in front of the burger king for three years. with all of her stuff in a chair, in the rain, that's how she slept every single day. and it was not until we started drawing attention and calling barbara garcia and deb and getting every city's department involved until an intern in my office, anne gallagher, befriended her and works with her that we have got her inside. there are people who are half naked talking to themselves in crisis every single day. and we have just got to do more. and so the reason that i am calling this hearing is because i want the bart management, i want the department of public health, i want the department of public works, i want the crisis management, i want the environmental house and the department of homelessness and supportive housing to come and say how they are going to make a difference and a change, not just in the bart plaza, because we know it's not limited to this bart plaza. we need this type of attention all over the city. but let me tell you that 16th street bart plaza is
