i want folks to know that that is a big part of who we are serving in the haight. everyone has a story and we should give them the opportunity to share with one another. thanks. >> thank you very much. now, speaking about families and children, from district 1, from the richmond district neighborhood center, we have patricia. >> thank you. she and her husband were instrumental in the beginning of the richmond district neighborhood center. that was 36 years ago. totally a grass-roots effort to save the school district law from being turned into condominiums, and turning it into social services for the richmond district, which there are very few social services. we now have served over 3000 people per week in all of the schools and other sites around the richmond district. we do that on a $3 million budget. our main focus at the neighborhood center is that we are trying to keep families in san francisco. all of you have read over and over again how we lose our families. you see corridors of the city where there are many strollers about, and then you say, happens to a

i am peter strauss from the lower haight and district 5 and district 8. it looks like i will be staying in district 8. we have reached the bottom of the night. i am. -- i am sure it feels more like the bottom of the 54th. baseball analogies aside, there are a bunch of us here to make one last pitch. in 55 laguna into district 5. we have talked about community and compromise. we have gusty to recognize haight is the spine of the community and should not be treated as a border. we appreciate what you have done in the commercial destroyed by moving the boundary down. the closest to a win win would be able to split the property. i understand that is beyond your purview because it involves changing precinct boundaries. it may be that is the direction we need to go. most of us would be willing to work with supervisor wiener to achieve the closest to a win- win, but we may not be in to do that at this time. i urge you to establish the baseline at the most logical and consistent place with their review your purview. we believe that would be to establish 55 laguna

we have gotten a number of letters from the lower haight, particularly around the commercial corridor and 55 laguna. we're wanting to bring it to your attention that there is a significant amount of interest in bringing 55 laguna into the district as well as keeping the haight street recorder complete. we have received correspondence from the [unintelligible] and want to be sure to highlight that sunset feel connected mostly to the haight and panhandle. they feel like they would be disconnected if they were cut off and included interdistrict for. -- into district 4. we have received several letters in the past few days from residents on grove and schrader. [tone!] we want to make sure we support the constituents who have reached out to us. we want to encourage you to hear the proposals they have presented in terms of including that block in nopa and making sure they are part of district 5 as well and connected to the panhandle. thank you very much. >> thank you, ma'am. >> hello, task force. i am super short. i m and in turn at the south of market committee action network. part of our

going to haight street is a completely different experience. but i think this restaurant, given the track that -- track record they have with the other restaurants that they own, and given the fact that there are other businesses located in the area open later, i want to move to approve with the modification at 80 1:00 a.m. thursday through saturday. it is just a 30-minute different, but we heard from a lot of restaurateur's that it is a very challenging environment to get people out by a certain time because of the way people dying. that extra minutes does make a difference. commissioner antonini: i was only a couple of times at the previous restaurant, but i liked it. and i think the setting is very good. it is one of many restaurants that are located on the streetcar lines. i think it adds to the ambiance because you see them when you go by. it also adds to the accessibility. it is very convenient, and i think it is important to have the later hours. i live in the general vicinity of west portal and we have a lot of nice restaurants there. b

i know that there have been times when i've gone down haight street, which is where these tour buses frequent and it's 1:00 in the afternoon and you're dealing with delivery trucks and you're dealing with tour buses, and you're dealing with pedestrians, and you're dealing with all these different people who are just trying to move around haight street in the middle of the day. so i just think that we have to look at it more comprehensively than just d-3 or alamo square or whatever, because i do believe that it has to be looked at in a more comprehensive manner. i'm happy to be part of this conversation and look forward to finding solution sthass would ease the burden on residents who live in neighborhoods that are attractive to people who are visiting our beautiful city. dd supervisor mar: thank you, president chu and supervisor olague. i wanted to add also that a number of residents from eighth avenue and 15th avenue on the richmond side have often over a period of time complain beside the loud amplified sounds and also the increase, it seems, in the number of tour buses going throu

manson claimed to be like everybody flocking to haight-ashbury, if just a bit older. most people he was searching for peace and love just like them. but his dark side soon took over. >> manson was in his early 30s at the time that he was in the haight-ashbury, developing what became known as his family. so there were all these young people there looking for something. many of them using drugs. and he gave them what they were looking for. he said, free food, free lodging, free sex, so free love as it was called then, all just flowed because he played a guitar, he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. to an 18, 17-year-old runaway who might have, wow, this guy is really something. and the family grew. >> as his family grew, manson, a racist at his core, became increasingly paranoid about a war between blacks and whites. then in december 1968, the beatles released the song "helter skelter." ♪ look out ♪ helter skelter >> manson believed the lyrics predicted a race war, and he began calling the war "helter skelter." >> one of the things that apparently he was tr
