i will remember. this number, 534, was the number of the unit that the landlord wanted to build on the third floor, but it was true that this was a defacto demolition. the sad part -- it went to the planning commission. it was canceled because it does not comply with proposition m to affect affordable housing. it was canceled. cancelled. canceled. why that unit is not there, the building is the same -- why are they using the number, 57 in the lower unit? what is the main reason? the court has decided it can not use the number. what they had was not a permit. it was an application to do this project. how can you not understand that this is illegal, what do we have in place to protect the tenants? if we have a,b, c, then why don't we use it? it clearly says it has to be done. it is a crime. it is fraud. a penalty has been committed. the notification to the tenant, not to the landlord, the notification has to be done to the district attorney to comply with ab-035. i really want to request that vivian day

i will be short. one of the things that stood out to me when i was approached by this project was the amount of infrastructure that the developer is proposing to do. one of the worst sections of road in san francisco is 19th avenue. basically you have an opportunity with the density of state college and the town center and the density of park merced right now and take the transit center out of the middle of the road and put it off the side, which is an unbelievable opportunity. when you take the tracks out there, it creates more capacity on 19th avenue. i don't think we put letters on how bad the traffic service is there, and it will increase the safety and slow down traffic. it is a start. one of the other things, as a kid, one of the things i did not know is the kind of reenergize in -- putting the water back into the ground for lake merced, which is a huge problem for anybody on the west side. it has been a problem and it continues to go there. the other thing, it is smart growth. it is something wh

the next 2 people i will introduce are our beat officers. you know we are talk about how you find your liaison in the different departments but they actually i didn't find them they found me they hunted me down. and like i said in the last workshop if you knew my background i didn't have trust for the police. i didn't step forward much to meet them. they came after me. that was really amazing and so i said, okay let's try this context in relationship. anybody else can contact their captain and who they might suggest to be the liaison for the street officers the street officers are the officers that know what's going on in your neighborhood day to day. the first person who will talk he will talk about enforcement. and then the support. because we really strife in our neighborhood to enforcement and support go hand in land that's in everything single thing we do. here's ron laberta. >> thanks for coming. and with valerie we didn't hunt her down we sought her out. >> that was because we had heard so many good things about her in the neighborhood

i think everybody in the senate will miss him. and i believe it's safe to say everybody in utah will miss him as well. some more than others, but nevertheless, if they look at his record and they look at the things that he's done for our state and for our people, they're going to thank god that bob bennett was a senator for 18 solid years. i personally thank the father in heaven for having him here as a partner to me, as a friend and as somebody i can rely on and i could counsel with on some of these very, very earth shakingly important matters that come before our united states senate. i have such a great opinion of bob bennett. i don't think even he has known, maybe not until today, how great that opinion has been. i think the world of him, i love him as a human being, and i wish him the very best, he and his family. with that, i yield the floor. mr. bennett: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from utah is recognized. mr. bennett: mr. president, i am embarrassed and humbled and gratified by the comments of my senio

i have a report on your desk that will highlight a few things. s week goes to the high-speed rail picture, where we have now had official guidance from washington to the fact that california must spend its high- speed rail allocation of over $3.2 billion. related investments totaling $4.3 billion. this is in one of two central valley sections. it will either be fresno or fresno to bakersfield. we're having trouble getting excited about the prospect of high-speed rail that is that far away from us. that has been the guidance so far to we are forced committed to working to continue to coordinate the segment that we have the most significant interest in. it has of course had its share of challenges, particularly the mid peninsula section. it requires continued partnership. at the local level, the authority of staff continue to coordinate the city families and put into the high-speed process. we have been successful so far in getting the high-speed rail authority to accept a set of three alternatives that are the result of a consensus building process
