hester? >> sue hester. you have references to a number of things today. the waterfront design and access plan. both of these had environmental review. if it has any reference that has gone through environmental review that says this should be, they should provide it for you today. there have been a lot to the embarcadero study, and they did not want to have a study that was not tested. by eliminating the median, that study is taken as gospel, even though it never went through environmental review. when did go through the environmental review is the downzoning of the golden gateway. 1972 to 1976. the city changed the height limit for the golden gate way because they had the unfortunate experience of the buildings that had already been built. this downplays everything that had not been built them 84 feet. there were two eir's for that, and you have no reference to that, in the northeast embarcadero steady or in this case report, nor by staff. this went under the rug, because that study found that those over 84 feet have an adverse impact because they violat

sue hester spoke about funding. i do not know about the possibility of infrastructure finance. we're allowed to put more of the money that comes out in in terms of tax revenue back into the district from whence it emanates. i am very much in favor, the breaks for businesses make perfect sense because it is never going to go anywhere if somebody does not invest in there but they do pay some taxes anyway. even at a lower rate. if we can keep some of the money in the district, it would help. becoming a destination is another thing. if you have theaters and restaurants and become what market street was before which was a center for entertainment and legitimate theater, even cinema, perhaps are things that would help the neighborhood a lot. and finally, there was a large section that talked about inadequate resources for the justice system. the report says, "charges against repeat offenders are often dropped rather than being pursued." you will #-- never rehabilitate anyone, she makes serious enforcement of the laws they're breaking and -- unless you make serious enforcement of the
