. >> caller: this is sue hester. i participated in all the hearings when the panoramic was built. the panoramic was built to have student populations. they were accommodating students from three universities in the san francisco and there was no hullabaloo about students. there is a hullabaloo right now around homeless housing. i support the homeless acquisition. this makes sense. this is a very dense site. it has really good transit access. it should serve a lot of the people that are in need of housing. we have had a housing problem in san francisco. and it is getting worse. the more problems there are on the street, the more problems there are for the residents that are housed already, so getting people housed is the first way of getting to be normal people in san francisco. thank you very much for supporting this project. thank you. >> next speaker. >> caller: thank you, supervisors, for holding this proposal. i grew up in san francisco and i've worked in nonprofits in this neighborhood and i very much support the hotel acquisition for providing housing for homeless individual

here and i think, you know, it is a threat going forward, particularly things at the intel about hester rely on intelligence to have to you know, prevent. so this is something that is ongoing now, but certainly i think iceland, making it very clear that even though the taliban always played the security card that they could maintain security in this country, they've done that to some extent when it comes to kidnappings and crime is down, but the attacks are that that ice will have certainly escalated on the taliban in the last couple of weeks. and he and stephanie jack available, the latest from cobble. thank you so much, steph. while moving on on the united nations, it says it v as a mass atrocity crimes in myanmar, as thousands of soldiers now gather in the north, the un special replica on me. and mom says, and you report shows, the military government has probably engaged in crimes against humanity, more than 1100 people have been killed and about 8000 arrested since that qu, back in february, we spoke to the un special rapture, tom andrews about his warning to the general assembly,

. >> caller: this is sue hester.i've submitted a letter on behalf of myself who is three blocks away from the site and we have good life grocers on our block. basically, while it was put in print by the developer and the p.o. which i got on monday is that he thinks he's entitled to have more development because he has a lot that has minimal f.a.r. compared to what is allowed. if you have f.a.r. for a ratio which is less square footage than what is allowed, you're kind of entitled. and that attitude conveyed basically at the variance hearing and in the brief here. i would request the planning department, pardon me. i would request the board of appeals to take notice of the fact that this is a well developed area that has been developed since before the earthquake. my building, for example, was developed in 1890. so there is a lot of the development and people have gotten used to the scale and used to having light and air and access. basically, he is asking to have a new commercial store at the back lot of the project.

hester peirce is probably for this. we need to stop regulating the crypto business through enforcement actions by the sec, we also need a safe harbor, a timeout to make sure that -- so we can, you know, catch our breath, have congress weigh in and pirg if out what's going on -- figure out what's going on here because the sort of willy-nilly enforcement going after ripple, essentially crushing the -- liz: well, coinbase was annoyed because they couldn't get an answer on their lending, the interest. >> well, they did get an answer. if you do this, we're going to sue you. ripple got sued over the use of xrp to build out its platform. ripple points out, well, you didn't do that to e here to yum with, right? -- ethereum, right? bitcoin has been given the go ahead. and what's interesting about all of this is that you can see how it plays out, how regulation is sort of weird, sort of picking winners and losers. it plays out way to the favor of bitcoin and ethereum as opposed to others, and here's why. if you notice, cathy wood

come outlast week, it was supposed to come out friday and we hear there's some give and take with hesterman, the two republicans are both essentially objecting to some of the conclusions and now there's something else going on at the sec that involves market structure, massive changes. there's a potential rule that they're pushing that gary gensler wants out there. those two things together have a lot of republican operatives that work in washington, work on wall street, saying there's a political angle here, because those two are pretty much aimed at the business model of one of the biggest firms out there that's run by a very prominent republican and that's citadel securities. goldman sachs sucks up a lot of ink, gets a lot of noise, jamie dimon, people talk about -- liz: dick bove loves it. charlie: citadel? liz: goldman sachs. charlie: this firm is a real investment empire powerhouse, there's a securities firm on one side, a hedge fund on the other, ken griffin putting it together and he's given over $100 million over the past decade to republican causes. he's donated to three democr

hester and her husband have both been diagnosed with adhd but they say while his journey took months,nosis. you know, she said if you�*d been a boy, you would have probably been diagnosed when you were at school." research has found that girls tend to be missed because their symptoms are more subtle, less hyperactive, more inattentive. boys are, therefore, three to four times more likely to be diagnosed in childhood. the diagnostic gap shrinks in adulthood but experts say the gender bias remains. these women haven't woken up in their mid—40s with adhd, there have been signposts all the way along. we need to raise awareness so people know and understand that adhd in females presents differently. they need to know they can't look for the boisterous boys. they've got to look for something different. and that needs to be done in educational settings, across health care practitioners. while a diagnosis brings answers, it raises questions about what could have been. sheila�*s life was full of chaos before she found out she had adhd at 63. i get myself into situations that i shouldn't be in.
