. >> commissioner fong. >> commissioner fong: i'm likely not to be supportive as well, and i just, ithink as much energy that went into the legislation city-wide, and the efforts to try to make it equitable, isolating only one now pushes it to other neighborhoods and premium on other neighborhoods and i think that was the point of the legislation we were trying to get at to make it, spread it around town fairly rather than concentrated. so, but i understand the desires in chinatown and the community very well understand that's, and that message i think was said, delivered loud and clear on some other ones that were brought to us and the community was strongly opposed, and we pushed back on some of them. so, i think the processes now works with the c.u. we will have the opportunity to deny them if it's in the wrong location. so, i would prefer to test out that process that people spent a lot of time with for two years or so and if that doesn't work, then maybe certain areas need to be banned. but understand the efforts and understand the concerns of the community. >> president hillis:

commissioner fong? >> commissioner fong: i hear the concerns in particular that commissioner richards has about it not being fully vetted, and your comment about son of 823 -- 27, i mean, it is that, but i think that's what that bill was supposed to do, is to awaken cities to do something, and i think there may be many sons of 827, this potentially being one of them to add more units. to commissioner -- or president hillis's comment about new construction, yeah, if you could potentially get -- not just squeeze in one or two more in an existing building, b get three new units in construction, all the better. i'd kind of like to recollect that the real original piece of this when we were talking about adus was to s legitimatize some of the housing united on the east side, so i think that was sort of the quiet reason for doing this. and i think maybe we've done that -- or at least we're in a better place. displacement, i'm sure that has occurred. i don't feel that on the west side that that's been the lead

around preserving the existing affordable housing, and just while i'm up here, if i may, commissioner fong's point, separate from the rationale about existing residence and converting to nonresidential use, the other goal which i hope came out in my original speech, identifying the possible sites for new development in the district and really prioritizing residential use for those new developments. it's not just about the conversion, but prioritizing that use for new development. >> president hillis: just, sorry, clarifying question. in the rh district, you can't get a c.u. for a hotel, can you? >> you can, but it's more like a bed and breakfast type use you can do. >> commissioner johnson: so, it is really interesting these two have, the last two items have been next to each other, just looking at one, how do you protect the character of a neighborhood and find a balance, and i think on this one in particular, and both of them, frankly, i hear the concerns around community protection, and i think it's really interesting point that you just brought up about prioritizing the use that ultimate
