fire station 1 located at 676 howard st. is inadequate to meet the safety needs of the south of market and the tenderloin area that it serves. first, the station is poorly located, located at third and howard streets which is congested 24-7. the station is too small. it was designed to house the arson task force. it had to apparatus bays and three pieces of equipment. two of them are parked in tandem. if the rescue squad were to get a call, the engine would have to drive out into traffic on howard street. the rescue squad would leave and the engine would have to back in. this causes an incredible amount of congestion. fire station number one is obsolete that when the 1989 earthquake hit, the doors proved inoperable. living conditions for that firefighters at the station are unacceptable. that was designed for an arson task force of approximately three or four people and they have 13. on any given day. dopw estimated the upgraded $9.50 million and it would be too small and poorly located. fortunately the city would not have t

if i exactly if i actually was doing this explosion of discontent let me go to howard in new york i mean if i could just play from what david had to say here is that it is democracy fictitious and right now as it is complete as it works with capitalism because it seems like to me that. often democracy is just a legitimize thing factor a cover for the kind of economic system we have right now and the kind of inequality that we are seeing. i have to respectfully disagree ok i still think that the market democratic free market capitalism gives people the best chance for both economic freedom and for political freedom because people have that chance they can organize they can get together they can vote we have any many number of times that that's happened no i do agree that there are real problems now and i think particularly in the united states you do have a system where money plays a disproportionate role in the political process and a lot of elected officials have to spend more than half their time raising money and it makes them i think overly dependent on the special interests but
