. >> so hester, i would ask everything be provided to the public. secondarily, the hearing is going to be june 6th and that's very close to this day. i would ask that the staff report be available three weeks in advance, because what you're being asked to do is the entire project, not merely an office allocation of 920,000 square feet, which you're being asked. if the staff report comes a evening before, you are telling the public they can't participate. if it comes two weeks before, it would be right before memorial day. i'm asking you to establish rules. when these projects come through for the first entitlement, and it's a big entitlement, there be sufficient time that people can print out and review literally hundreds of pages of documents. you should be doing that as a planning commission and this is not a one-week case by any stretch of the imagination and should not be treated as such. this should be a three-week case. this is an enormous case. and once you establish the rule, it would be established for every project that's in this whole thi

sue hester. there was something at the last month's board of supervisors on tuesday and they had opted findings on 1052 fulsome street and overturning the conditional use on that project. and i think that there's something that will come to the planning department that will get something from the board of supervisors, but not today i believe. seconsecondary, the chart that'e on the overhead, showing the rate of growth of jobs and housing in san francisco is sobering. i want to follow-up on what commissioner rich talked about in his presentation about "the new york times" study. san francisco led the country and the region by adopting housing requirements on commercial development in the 1980s. it really did, it's part of the planning code. and we've kind of fallen down in the past decade, and i think that the people really need to revisit what we do to increase the housing demand by changing buildings. it was in the early 1980s that the demand was that you're building a new office building and th

>> sue hester and basically, what the department staff did was go to people who were still there, who developed the language of the code, the organization, ccdc. but really, you need to have a planning staff that understanding that there are low income communities in the city that are important to plan around. people like me who's a nerd, like radulavitch will find out what's going on, sometimes by accident, but developers have a pipeline straight into the department. and i recognise it and they recognise it and you should recognised it. basically, i am asking for code revisions to be grounded and outreached to real committee organizations that are low income, working class neighborhoods because they are the people that i'm trying to keep in san francisco. but people who work here should have the ability to live here. people who work here should have transit and have housing. and that is a planning code. every once in awhile it would be helpful for the planning commission to restate what is the goal, what are you trying to do in the planning code, in the general plan? it's been done 2

. >> miss hester got up and said back in the 1980s that there was a clear understanding that there was a linkage between job growth and the need for housing and transportation. it seems like probably late in the last decade we got a sense of amnesia around that because we added so many more jobs than we added homes. and this is not a dig at this organization of which i'm a part of or the city, we screwed up. i mean, we added -- i actually remember pulling out of a drawer the other day when mayor lee got elected and the pamphlet was called "jobs, jobs, jobs," and how many jobs we'd create. and we didn't understand that the technology and people will move back to the city, and it was like a tsumani that came over us. and we built out office space and created all of these jobs. and now, you know, we've looked at the enemy and the enemy is us. we have created this problem ourselves. it's not like some external force did it. i mean, seriously. so, you know, one of the things that i'm looking at or i'm asking is, population -- i read yesterday that the population in california is actually in
