i am with the hayes valley neighborhood association. this is put our organization in an awkward position, and i want to think supervisor-- thank supervisor olague for calling this hearing. our neighborhood has a long tradition of supporting sustainable transportation investment. there was a compact made when the freeway was removed that there would be investment in traffic measures and improving transit, and so forth. muni is bogged down in miserable congestion in that area. something needs to get done. our organization also has a long history in supporting affordable housing, including backing parcel g, octavia court, and working with the mayor's office of housing on 55 laguna. there is a bit of a disagreement within the different city agencies, with the ta insisting that all the proceeds go to transportation, and specifically to repaving van ness. at the same time, there is this true-up. if that is owed to affordable housing, we need to respect that, and we need to find money elsewhere for the van ness repaving. we are a big supporter

rabin levitt, from the hayes valley neighborhood association. i am holding in my hand the text of proposition i, the last proposition that past, in 1999. i do not want to go into too much detail, but it is clear, and i will leave these copies with you, that the proposition -- the funds for the sale of freeway parcells was to go for transportation improvements related to our table and boulevard, and nothing else. not for building a boys and girls club or building affordable housing, even though it calls for affordable housing in this area, but for transportation improvements related to octavia boulevard. these include the oak fell corridor, mission corridor, the upper market corridor, and so forth. hayes valley, if we had not spearheaded the effort to bring down the central freeway, would have the freeway there today and would not be having this discussion now. we spearheaded the effort to implement the market octavia plan, which calls for affordable housing in this neighborhood. we have been very supportive of affordable housing. we have been su
