i live at 2418 washington street. just want to remind you all that we have seen this movie before. years ago when a tower was proposed for the corner of washington and fillmore. all of the same arguments obtain. independent research suggests that there is no safe level of exposure to radiofrequency radiation. such a massive installation should not be located in this kind of neighborhood with schools and medical facilities. you should remember that frequency refused to allow any antennas on the facility which is just across the street from his current location and i can't think that they would be happy about this. for such a proposal also flies in the face of the city's own historic district regulations. never mind the proposed site will be in the webster street historic district. the first historic district in san francisco. just a few doors down from home of bloomfield, may she rest in peace whose spirit had to be moved historic district in the first place. finally, is there any indication that the need for this insul

i have lived there for 40 years. moved in as a young mother and i have a grandson that grew up right in there. it is a very small apartment with a beautiful view of the ocean. i enjoyed bringing my son up there and having the view. there has been no look about how it stays with the character and who it hits in terms of the views. that will block out a huge amount of use for me. i don't know any other people in the neighborhood. yes, housing is more important than views, i'm with you on that , but affordable housing is more important than market rate housing. this project manager or project sponsor made no outreach to work with the neighbors at all. it is another form of silencing the voice of the local people. it fast attracts these types of projects through and it is really -- to me, home san francisco is very close in terms of being able to mow over neighborhood character and people that live there and have lived there for years and made it a place that they want to -- >> thank you. your time is up. >> alrighty. >>

i live here octavia. i bicycle on page street to work every day eastbound and come home westbound page every day. i walk through the neighborhood constantly. i have a dog so i'm walking through the page octavia the laguna, page the buchanan page and on haight street all the time. i just want to tell you some of my experiences personal experiences. several years ago, probably five or six years ago when a car was blocking the crosswalk at laguna and page and i protested a passenger in the car got out and hit me and knocked me to the ground and i was taken unconscious to the hospital with a concussion. one time i was walking my dog across page at laguna and i was in the crosswalk and a car just went right through. i had to jump on the hood of the car to keep the car from running over my dog. when i first moved into the neighborhood i used to have to clean my window sills from all the soot from the freeway. i didn't have to do that for many years, but now with the advent of uber and lyft and the traffic has in

i live. was. i. was. a as. was. i. i. i i. i i. i i i live i i live. i feel. obliged if i. when i met him it was for me like a kind of artistic fusion because i i immediately understood what he wanted maybe i could not give it immediately to him but i understood what he wants and i totally approved what he was looking for so the very special thing about his vision and of course division we are all together trying to bring with him through you. is . finding again the original score and when i mean your original score is that we have to be aware that inferred score very are some moments where it's written 6 pianos and then suddenly you have i think 4 or 5. so in an hour and a half of music we have to find a way to do 6 piano and $540.00 sumo. and you need to to hear does differences. a god. was. a god. this music takes a lot of firsts from every musician plain and singers. and of course the main challenge is to. to follow doris fluid vision of this music every. it's a time he changes the details is like never satisfied with what he's doing so he kept those the exact moments o

think that overall -- and i still live in the sunset, i do. i've lived in the outer sunset, i've lived in the central sunset, i've lived in the inner sunset. i happen to live in golden gate estates now. i drive down all those streets now. my first date with my wife was at a place called paradise pizza, and they sold out and moved to west portal. i'm sorry to the people that feel they did not have a lot of process. i believe that it's going to continue to have process, and any permit that's given can be revoked. so if they're bad players, and they're not playing in the neighborhood, you can make them go away, but i support my felly commissioner, and i believe that unfortunately the zoning administrator -- i wouldn't say abused, but erred in his decision. >> commissioner tanner: i agree with my fellow commissioners. one of the things that i've learned on this body and in my career as government, it's important to layout a clear idea of what's going to be done so people have a play book of how to get from point a to point b. despite that, it seldo

way and i live for. the comfort. of the sick. and. i had a whole stash of sunny decision in mind that i said no. other will have 7 months at a. gun show you in the raw sitting on the. act out of the buggy or. not the guy i love the thought would not force. i should read up on that though. i think there's a whole thing. about the same. sort of outlining the way the spotlight come to the door. when they will. come to. the. other side. in the audience become a valuable resource. if i want the blogs and. you know. commercial. scholem to. have some money. so. i asked. at the left it didn't. look at all this love. and i want to add one mother just sort of would look to the law. that not all got in the have been doing them stuff but good luck assure them good no one had this a lot of tools to handle the helpful that they've been known and the means to restore an old fully. honest just mentioned and done nothing more soul of the country that was. love them had never forgotten. us with a good under water all the. way. from you're. one moment in

i am a community organizer and i live and work in the excelsior district. i actually live a few blocks away from 65 mention and that is why i am here today. i know the majority of the residents are working families. the project that has been proposed at 65, the majority are studios and one bedroom units. this project does not meet the needs of my community, the community i love. this project is only proposing nine units that are accessible to families. this is not enough. it is your duty and our responsibility to do the right thing. allowing the construction of 65 ocean would only displace my family's. the families that i know in my neighborhood that i can go buy every day and say hello. we know each other. we like to live in our community. yes, let's keep jobs for our brothers and sisters that are here today. let's keep the jobs even for them to live in those units. housing that is going to be 100% affordable so they can do their job that actually get to live in the city. i am here and strong opposition to 65 ocean. i ask you to please deny the permit. we n

[laughter] so i make those games. and i've lived in the mission when i first moved here at 21st and florida. i lived in the upper hayes the last ten years. there's an arcade in the upper haight which again echoing the economic concerns is both a print shop, they make screen print t-shirts which is how they support the arcade. i work there on the weekends and if i had to encourage you to go there any day, it's full of kids playing my games, specifically parents showing their kids the games and the kids being approachable for the kids as well. i'm a blue collar worker. i repair arcade games. i need clients like joey to be able to live in the city. so i would encourage you to approve this request. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, there. my name is dan baldwin. i'm an employee of joey the cat as the events manager. i'm tasked with the rental sales and delivering the arcade games throughout the bay area to private events of all types. i have a part-time team of two event assistants that help out with the de

i'm connie beg, and i live right next door. so my windows actually have their windows in the same area. so i am very much in support of the 311 process because i just want to know what's going on. i am also in support of small business. i did frequent the corner store that was not just a liquor store. it did have other things. it was definitely going out of business at the time, but to change that space to a restaurant or a bar is going to really alter the space. so in my opinion, because i live right next door, and i'm going to be impacted by that severely, i -- i feel like i should have been notified. and you know, i love the outer sunset. i've lived there for 33 years. i've lived in that spot for 33 years. i am fully in support of small business, no problem. i frequent them all the time. i don't want a bar and restaurant next to my house. there was never one there before, there shouldn't be one now. i'm totally in support of putting something else there. and you know, in terms of activating the space, i don't want the space a

i live here now. i've been here back in the '70s and then other side then over here. 193 new places, that's great. i support this project. they need to keep the political stuff out of it and just build the housing. and you need more, tougher rent-controlled laws like berkeley has. that is really tough. that would keep people in their homes and would slow down these people that are buying up these houses and jacking the rents up. okay. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker please. i'm also going to call up some more names. [calling names] >> hello, planning commission. i am michelle leonard bell. i work with mission hiring hall. mission hiring hall has worked for almost 50 years to connect san francisco residents such as the residents in district 11 to training and not just jobs but careers. and our goal is to train and get people to careers that can sustain them living in the city. we are in support of this project. one main reason we are in support is because the developer understands the commitment t

i live in nebraska, but i'm from miami. have you not encountered that? >> i've just never been to maim. i believe you, i'm just never been. >> we have a field trip coming up. >> cool! [laughter] .

way and i live far. from that for. a sick. man. i had a whole stash of sunny decision in mind that i said no. we'll have 7 months at a. gun show you're raw sitting on the. rock thought of that but william. loved. the thought would not force. i should read up on that though. i think there's a healthy. balance of a little. sort of outlining the way the small i come to the door. when they will. come to. the. play of. the others and that's something. i'm in the audience you know we've come a valuable resource. i want to. chill about the commercial side. of the. ocean. oh you. have some money. so. i asked. at the left it didn't. look at all it was left. on only one mother just sort of looked out of the woodwork of the law. that not all got in the have been doing them stuff but good luck assure them good no one had the slip on the floor the handle they had for that they've been old and that means there are still an old fully. honest the slim son and done up more control of that on the other. love them had with. us before couldn't water al

i live at 1162 page street. i'm going to keep this brief. i love living on page street. i love how opulent it is, and most importantly i love how easy it is for me to get to school every day using page street. and for this reason, it really hurts my heart every day to just wonder if this is going to be it, if this is going to be the day that some car decides to make a right turn without signaling and that's it. and sitting here and listening to several of the concerns that residents particularly in the haight neighborhood, have raised, i really do encourage the board also to consider these concerns in moving forward with this proposal but at the end of the day this proposal would not only go a long way in making me safe but along with many of the other countless bikers who use page every day in order to get to work and to school. and i really appreciate the commitment that the board has shown to public safety and i encourage you to follow through with that value and pass this measure. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> kristin raphaela, elizabeth,

my name is vaness a i have lived in district 2 for 22 years. i understand the prado group is proposing to bulldoze and flatten the hill at 3333 california and sho chop down 200 trees and face the oldest landmark. laurel hill gardens cemetery. as well as the cemetery, for san francisco pioneers u.s. senators and civil war heroes, it's a tree-filled park for san francisco residents. since i noticed the historic cemetery plaque missing from the red brick wall a few years ago, i wondered why would anyone want to erase this history. it made me sad. well, as a result, it seems that the job of marking and memorializing this important san francisco landmark has been left to its survivors, the trees. some of these large, old growth trees are monument to this lost history. in addition to the history, many studies have reported that the loss of large, old trees leads to an over all loss of urban biodiversity. they are critical ecological structures because relative to their size, they are disproportionate providers of resources crucial to wildlife. it's ti

but we don't live in that world. and so i am somebody who has spent a large part of my career doing technical assistance for businesses in the mission, doing, you know, building support for folks to make a living, mostly immigrant businesses. and i know how tough it is to be able to survive, to be able to pay your employees, to be able to pay your mortgage. and so i think coming up with innovative business plans that involve different things, you know, events, pinball machines, hours during which kids can come, hours during which techies can come, things that can be flexible uses that will allow you to have a business that's viable and at the same time as commissioner johnson suggested, i hope you -- i saw you writing down her suggestions, which was excellent, which contribute to the community and are respectful of the community life. i think that's the way to go. so i think that i commend you for having so much support. i think that's great. and i also want us to think about that issue of flexibility and spaces. i think umu

i live at 1647 17th avenue. to your point, i never received anything in the mail about this going up. the first i heard about it was a notice on the pole that you could barely read because it was covered over with tape and it was barely legible because of rain and fog. luckily one of your neighbors looked at this and said what's going on. the second point is i work at home, i'm a reader, i constantly research on the internet. our internet is fine. we don't need anything faster. everything is working fine in this location. we don't need anything faster or better. the second point is this proposed location would directly impact one of the city's cultural icons, which is the 16th avenue stairs. trip adviser lists 770 things to do in san francisco. this is number 30. there are people who come from all over the world to see those stairs. this would directly impact the beauty of that neighborhood. there are no wires on this street. our wires are in our back yard. they're not in the front. it's a lovely street with arts

but then i realized that my nerves and my strength were totally shot. and we weren't living together anymore. so we couldn't support one another. i'm not sure if that was the reason but i just didn't have the strength. both of them withdrew their final occupation the start of the 18th. had a baby and unexpectedly got permission to leave for the west. as a pastor's wife. was also allowed to go. to stand what we been through an experienced gets there somehow it all paid off this evening and. the final. it was my dream as a teenager was to see the world now i fulfilled it. climate change. sustainability. environmental projects. affairs biodiversity species nontraditional exploitation equality. human rights displacement polls show the global impact of local action. global 3000 next on. q. and justice and freedom the 1st words of the german national anthem and the 3 central valley was that formed the foundation of this country. i hyped condition that in freedom can only flourish if everybody holds it near you that lives a life of freedom and defends it before high school freedom

as a start but i live with it. it's been my experience that you always get through better if you live with the circumstances. but not integrated into your life take it along and don't let it get to you and i. think. that's the only way for listing things. like why were the 2 young women being watched. so they had moved to east berlin from the countryside and found well paid jobs typist with noise and the official newspaper of the ruling socialist unity party ironic since they hardly toed the party line. i'm glad i don't have to work here anymore this is so. it's worth the money it's as if you're looking at another life this is had as if it almost had nothing to do with your own life now i mean to me it's distant i'm. a smart ass that was the 1st potter noster lift i'd seen in my life and the 1st time i jumped on i panicked about jumping off again just after because i thought it turned upside down at the top of the marketing head of the paper which still called itself socialist takes us around the building and down

way and i live for are. different from that. of the sick. and the. whole stash of sunny decision in london i said no. we'll have 7 months at a. dance you're right sitting on the. rock thought of that but william. not the guy i love the thought would not force. well there though. i think there's a healthy. balance of a little. sort of outlining the way the spotlight come to the door. when they will. come to. the. play of. a minority and you know become a valuable resource. if i want to. chill about the commercial that. scholem the. mother. oh you. have some money. so. i asked. at the left and i didn't. look at all of us love. and i wanted one mother just sort of looked out of the woodwork of the law. that not all got in the have been doing them stuff but good luck assure them good no one had this look on the floor the mental discipline to think fit have been known to me interesting for an old for 7. months i've done nothing more so all of that on the other was. to love them and it wasn't good for. us with a couldn't want to know the. word . from you or

i live in between mr. greeman in between the two houses he constructed, so i know a lot -- about impacts, not construction. and i'm going to speak to the flood issue because part of my back yard is the exposed bedrock, and part of my hill is really steep hill. there's a cluster of houses at the corner, and the hill. and it's so steep. it's so steep, they don't mow it. they just send the goats up. you just see the water moving on it all the time, so i have flooding issues. before they fixed it, the reservoir leaked, and we'd see a lot of water. but it kind of comes to the corner. it's a chute sort of down toward our corner, so the hill goes in both directions. the street that goes up past my house goes up the hill, and then gladys goes up this hill, and the water will kind of concentrate that way. so i'm concerned about that, and i'm concerned about this project because we keep seeing drawings that maybe aren't quite showing everything, you know? this has sort of been -- happened before, and we raised this i

most of my life i lived in the mission district before losing my housing. thankfully, there was room for me at ellis gardens in 2012. ever since i have moved to ellis gardens, i have become involved in the community such as volunteering in the boys and girls club. volunteers is a positive and happy experience in my life. i love ellis gardens. it feels like an extension of the park now that the renovation is complete. it is now time to enjoy ellis gardens, have respect for one another and improve our community. on behalf of the residents we are very appreciative for the renovations and the support. thank you very much. [applause.] >> thank you. please welcome supervisor matt haney. [applause.] >> thank you, don, mayor breed. i want to give a special recognition to louise. he is not just the red of the tenant council here, he is one of the greatest community leaders in the tenderloin. he shows up in the neighborhood. you make this such a wonderful place to live. please give him a round of applause again. >> i have been friends with who louise for a few years.

but then i realized that my nerves and my strength were totally shot. and we weren't living together anymore. so we couldn't support one another. i'm not sure if that was the reason was i just didn't have the strength. both of them withdrew their friend not the case in the start of the eighty's. had a baby and unexpectedly got permission to leave for the west. as the pastas wife zuko fall was also allowed to go. on what we've been through an experienced gets there somehow it all paid off the safe and. it was my dream as a teenager was to see the world now i fulfilled it. for. so long from the middle ages. no it's being built from the ground up with modern technology. dozens of employees using hundreds of volunteers looking on to get a long castle in france the biggest medieval reconstruction project in europe. was find out on. the. street. these guys rock the germans in east and west the iconic band city. but. she really gets audiences in the groove the mega talented lindsay sterling. explosive on night groups in 45 minutes. i'm not laughing at the chickens because sometimes

but then i realized that my nerves and my strength were totally shot. and we weren't living together anymore. so we couldn't support one another. i'm not sure if that was the reason but i just didn't have the strength. both of them withdrew their final occupation the start of the 80s. had a baby and unexpectedly got permission to leave for the west. as the pastas wife zuko fall was also allowed to go. on what we've been through an experience but it's this somehow paid off the safety clinton playing the fiddle player plus my dream as a teenager was to see the world now i fulfilled it. took. place. although some of the 7 percent. to stop. the south. africa's population is rapidly growing. at least is causing a lot of problems right. that's the core issue. i wonder what do you think. next. looks like you wrote it. to keep mastodons. and he read it looks as. though there were 9989. the story behind one of the most remarkable days in recent german history plays schabowski is known as the night the wall came down the end please play. play take it personally. with a little wonderfu

but i can't live with my wife. i. could tell you good she's really not doing well but she's still waiting she wants to be with me live with me but it's just that when she comes we'll have a big celebration we'll string up the party lights. yeah and then the new idea looked i'll run naked through the streets if she comes. that was no idea what i do. idea as a show that i really don't know how to. do. you know a little bit of all my german friends ask me why can't you just have a join you know why can't you just bring her here. my only answer is i come from syria. if i'm not permitted to do that. which most only 5 have to earn roughly 2310 euro's net and comforting him and have a proper work contract with the he then i can bring her here because this is the sort of notion of good. health to see her so i applied for a student visa for 4 to look in and was turned down despite the 2nd and 3rd applications were also turned down and. they have no idea what to do. nothing and i love your. time and we're closer. to where you're

i have lived in the neighborhood for 27 years with my wife and two kids. i am -- for the following reasons. the cannabis spot will be next to a bar. smoking and drinking will cause fights and malice. an elementary school. so maids caulk by the store when they walk -- so kids may walk by the store when they walk to school. for these reasons, i am against the opening of the store. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. any -- come on up, if you need to speak, please come on up. that's it.

but then i realized that my nerves and my strength were totally shot. and we weren't living together anymore. so we couldn't support one another. i'm not sure if that was the reason but i just didn't have the strength. both of them withdrew their final applications at the start of the 80s. had a baby and unexpectedly got permission to leave for the west. as a pastor's wife zuko fall was also allowed to go to spin this distance what we've been through an experience but it's there somehow it's all paid off to sea for me and he's playing the fiddle. ok plus my dream as a teenager was to see the world now i fulfilled it. provide. hope for. the. solar powered life. the dream girls are enlightening many villages in cameroon in more ways than one. this in geo bring sustainable energy and know how to the country's women and solves more than one problem in the process. because of africa next push this. place kaesong from the middle ages plain known as it's being built from the ground up with our modern technology. dozens of employees and hundreds of volunteers looking on to get in on

i live here at the recovery residence program on treasure island. very grateful to be where i am matt today. this program has prepared me for my future and bettering my life and the endless possibilities ahead of me. like many of my peers here, my journey has had its shares of ups and downs. i was selling drugs and eventually developed a problem with drug use which led me to a cycle of incarceration and drug use. i have had experience with other treatment programs, but none were the right fit for me with their strict rules and judgement i even completed treatment at walden house a few years back, but my heart wasn't in it since i was court ordered. eventually i relapsed. fast-forward to march 2019 where i realized my life was passing me by and i wasn't where i pictured myself to be at 28 years old. i decided to cut out the negative aspects of my life and make an honest and heartfelt decision and put the past behind me and move forward. move forward towards a cleaner and healthier lifestyle. i know i needed help so i turned to health right 360 for the

i live at 508 octavia street. i wanted to show my tree. so i don't know if you can really see but that's my living room. it's my safe haven and that's my tree well giant tree outside. and i heavily rely on this to chill out. i will tell you why. let's see here. my old home downtown was on a street with replacements to old growth trees. they mostly died, never groomed were peed on. then turned to garbage cans. in august 2018 i was attacked by a mentally ill homeless person while living, while leaving the san francisco at 7:00 a.m. on wednesday. in december 2018 i had to close my little shop on hyde street due to mentally ill and criminal people coming in and harassing my place of business. i really needed a safe haven. in february i completed six months of treatment for ptsd. in june, 2019 my partner relocated for a job and i was unable to join him. so i'm truly alone. this tree really protects me. it gives me privacy. it gives me quiet and chill time that i need to heal. so mine is a little more selfish. i really agree with the environment
