catherine howard speaking by yourself. i'd like to point out that you cut down on public comment by combining the two. i'm not sure if it falls under sunshine, but it short changes you commissioners because it does not allow for full public input. the slide on participating groups was shown very quickly, but the yimby group was also shown, which shows the slant two development. i'm hoping you're not planning on building housing in golden gate park, but this points out two things. one is our parks are not taken out and shown on their own, and secondly, if the map is that inaccurate, then you have to wonder about the other data. and speaking about parks and open space, there is no mention of setting aside land for open space or parks, so you want to crowd in more people but not have parks. free space are important for people and wildlife, and this is earth day, so that should be given prime consideration. thank you. >> hi. thank you so much for hearing from us today. i'm jessica lehman, and i'm director of the senior action
