>> my name is david latterman and i live in the excelsior and work in the excelsior and although i'm concern certainly no leader of the people who have come here to oppose the clustering of the mcd clubs i think i can speak on behalf of the them, since i have been in conversations with them for many months about this. as somebody who lives in the excelsior and works in the excelsior and owns a house in the etch sellsor and raising three children in the excelsior, i guess i guess as much say as anyone about this and i am for the record neighborhood. this issue, we can talk legalize on what exactly is "clustering?" but i think all of you have seen the maps of what the outer mission and the excelsior has turned into. there are two adjacent pot clubs already south of geneva, there are two on ocean, there is one a lit more to the north on mission at -- north of silver at green cross and petition for two more coming one next to green cross and yet another one, which is around the mission and geneva area. so this if this isn't clustering i don't know what is. i'm not here to say anything ne

i live in the excelsior. i want to say what i heard tonight was that people want marijuana and there is a lot of kids in my neighborhood. we have more marijuana clubs than grocery stores in a 10-block radius. i ask you to be reasonable, do we need another one. we don't need another one. we need after school programs, we need parks for kids. so please, be reasonable. we don't need another one. thank you. >> public speaker: my name is dina. i have lived in excelsior for 55 years. excelsior is a wonderful place with lots of shops and stores. now it's going downhill. we have three medical cannabis clubs. that's enough. we don't need another one. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> public speaker: my name is zach newman. i have lived here my whole life. my children live here. i know they are responsible. there is a lot of concerns about things that are happening and are caused by the dispensaries you heard about that are being looked at for their non-compliance. it's not the way sparks operates. i urge you to s

i grew up in excelsior and raised my son there. is sparks a great place for the neighborhood, you bet they are. i have never seen them be irresponsible to the neighborhoods. coming out of there with my medicine a few times i was nervous as a woman alone in that neighborhood. their security is phenomenal. i have never felt fear, i have never felt anything, i never smelled anything. i think it would be a really good addition to the neighborhood and maybe they would get the bad actors out of there. >> next speaker, i will call more names. casey gilbert, stacy doom an. >> public speaker: i'm a neighborer to excelsior. i care deeply from my community. i graduate from san francisco state with a masters and i'm a medicinal patient. i immediately walked out without making a purchase. not only do i feel safe but it's the best places i have been to. i'm a neighbor of this project and i support sparks, and i beg you to please please please let them open at excelsior. >> public speaker: hello, my name is rodriguez. i live close to this. i don'

this feeds into the clustering issue with the inner mission -- i'm sorry, the excelsior mission ncd, just about a-year-old and very fresh and new and the supervisors led by john avalos took the issue serly in terms of creating radiuss this had he believe and created a definition of "clutcher." a cluster radius is 500'. here as the staff has already reported and as can you see on the overhead we're well beyond the two existing mcds at the upper part of mission street are well over that. that means that by definition, i think the board of supervisors has already said concentration issues are within 500' and we're well beyond that and don't believe there is a concentration issue here. i'm going to turn it over to robert to finish up the presentation. thank you very much and we're also available for questions. >> madame president, commissioners and staff, thank you for taking the time to review us again this evening. my name is robert jacob the executive director of sparc and we heard the commission loud and clear in october to demonstrate support from our future neighbors in the excelsi

kindling and excelsior and other flammable materials had been stashed near the center of the town square. so everyone knew what was going to happen. and when he was finally -- when he finally was dragged to the center of the square, they put a chain around his neck and threw the chain over the branch of a tree, and when he tried to pull the chain loose from his neck to be able to breathe, they cut his fingers off. he was mutilated in many different ways. then they doused him in coal oil and started a fire at the base of the tree, and they would put him down in the fire and then pull the chain and raise him up out of the fire so more people could see what was happening. every time they did that, a big cheer went up. as one reporter said, "as if the crowd had just come from a football game where they won a huge victory." and unfortunately, he was a very strong young man, and it took him a while to die. at one point, they -- he even kicked himself off his funeral pyre, and they had to drag him back on. finally, all that was really left was the charred torso and a head and some bits of limbs

least 6,000 people took place in a riot, riots in greece in pla toons of police on the edges of the excelsior neighborhood. it seems now to be contained within that neighborhood. we still hear stun grenades and we still see molotov cocktails but no longer see the anarchists having the run of the cities. so the police seem to have it very much under control. there have been reports of possibly a heavy handed police response. police are alleged to have provoked some of the violence in order to be able to respond to it and in a more controlled fashion. we have not been able to see that ourselves but we have seen a very large number of plain clothes policemen dressed up as many of the hooded youths whom they have been fighting with during the course of the evening. and so we do know that they have had many people in disguise among the ranks of those who were protesting. this is an event that is traditionally held and controlled by the left wing, especially the far left here in gross. it is therefore, by definition, an antiauthoritarian anniversary. >>> a date has been set for ceasefire talks in u
