so, want to call the next -- >> corinne woods. >> good afternoon, commissioners. madame chair -- director. my name is corinne woods. i chair the mission bay citizens advisory committee. mission bay c.a.c. has had three presentations on this project. the opponents of the project also organized a separate meeting in may to address their concerns. at our september 14 mission bay c.a.c. meeting, staff presented the recommended draft proposal. this was an informational item and the c.a.c. did not vote on whether to formally approve it. or support it. in general, members of the c.a.c. and the public attending the september meeting endorsed the support of housing proposal. the mission bay community has always welcomed affordable housing into the neighborhood. concerns were raised about the quality of the design and how it would fit into mission bay, particularly if a modular building approach is used. what the staff report doesn't mention, but the staff did hear, is that there is some impassioned opposition. to this project from several different perspectives. there are

welcome to all of you corinne, starting with you, we want to draw down on the why. why this is happening. first when you heard about this, how did you feel? >> it was devastating, brooke, it's just a cruel decision by the trump administration. i just don't understand why they would decide to do this, but if you think about it, deep down, if you think about it, it's pretty teaeasy to figure out th logic behind this. let me just say, brooke, we're a country, nation of immigrants, the moment we forget about that, we lose our identity as a nation. what is happening right now, the trump administration is pl placating that red meat slinging just to say they did this because there's no reason to do this. the haitian government has been very clear about this, that please -- we cannot absurd 60,000 people currently because the infrastructure after this hurricane was absolutely decimated. this is not something they can take on right now. why do this? did the trump administration send anyone to haiti to actually see what's going on there? no, absolutely not. is this why what t
