i did prepare a speech, because i was afraid if i did not write things down that i would stumble over my words, but i do want to thank everyone here that i have known and worked with, tenants, activist, and other people that are here. and i also want to thank, of course, mayor lee, for giving me the opportunity to serve and to work with you on the board of supervisors. [applause] i really feel proud to be here standing with you at this moment. so thank you. so, i guess i will go ahead and start my very, you know, i do not know, contrived speech. i hope it is not too contrived. but it is the best i can do. and linda avery herbert, i wanted to point you out. you're sitting in front of me. rita, i feel like i want to name tom comic role, and everyone, mark. anyway, my sister, my friend joyce from way back. mr. shaw, randy. i will go ahead and start. you know, it was just yesterday that i was standing under the rotunda listening to mayor lee's inaugural speech, and i think this is an incredible time for our city. a time where the city is coming together and moving past the old political p

i am an architect. i like to design things. i wanted to modify this stair so it would meet code and work better, and i think compliment the building better. at the time, when i had discussions with the preservation staff, i was told "if you are going to change the stair, even though is not original to the building, you have to go through an eir process. you have to go before this body to get a conditional use approval." which would take what might be a $30,000 project and turn it into an $80,000 project. it becomes economically a hardship for me to do that. i am here before you not to talk about the specifics of the proposed amendments, but just to in general talk about the process. i am an architect and i am a preservationist. i belong to the national trust for historic preservation. and i do support preservation of historic resources. but when everything becomes precious, nothing is precious. in terms of my specific circumstances, that's there is not original. -- that stair is not original. i see nothing precious about it. wh

i like to keep a distance. i am not against technology. i could not live the way i do with the. i could not live in japan and speak with my mom in california and send articles by e-mail to my editor. i am glad it has helped with my life. but we have to strike a balance. when something new comes into our live, we instantly feel new horizons open up. but there are other things that have not changed, the virtue of the gold. -- the old. we embrace a new invention. a few years later, we think it has not transformed our life. it happened with cars before, tv. tavis: while we are talking about unplugging, i saw the piece you did for "the new york times puzzle fit wonderful piece, i thought. what kind of response did you get? >> it is about how they have rescue camps. many people observe internet sabbath so they can have family conversation. you can check into a hotel room for $265 a night just to have a room without a tv. the luxury is getting away from it. i got a lot of response. almost everybody who broke into the newspaper was describing ways to have tried to come to peace with thi

i didn't know where i was. i knew i was in korea. but i didn't know where i was in relation to the enemy. but i soon found out i was in the middle of no-man's-land at the time in the demilitarized zone and i pull out my .45 because i saw some guys in pajamas headed towards me from the north. and i popped off a couple of rounds and they responded. i don't know. not going to work out too well. so i kept my head down and i was actually pretty tense for a few moments. when an american voice -- strong american voice just south of me, not too far of me, he said, keep your head down and crawl in this direction. the marines sent out a patrol to give me some cover and i crawled back and i was grateful to the marines. that was a close call. i certainly didn't want to be a p.o.w. but that's all in a day's work. in the business of having a privilege of flying fighters. now and again you get a little -- that's the way it goes. over to you. >> you're on. >> my turn? all right. here we go. i'm going to give you a story of a great general. and i'm g

i am 67. i am a lesbian. i had an experience, i lived in this place and they sold the house and i had to look for another place. i did some applications but most of them, you have to wait five years. the rents are too high. i could not afford it. i'm kind of homeless. my niece was kind enough to tell me to move over. i went to antioch and it gets me -- takes me three hours to get from san francisco and i miss my open house. i miss my meetings. and also for others and i wish they could do something about it. thank you. >> good afternoon. thank you for holding this hearing. i want to add my name to those who are encouraging you to sadr -- support services. especially for low-income housing as an open house is trying to do now. i must add that if it were not for the mayor's office of housing, i would not be a homeowner in san francisco today. it would be impossible. those who are in the middle need to be remembered when you are providing funds or other sorts of support for housing for the elderly in san francisc

who am i to argue? i am not an attorney. who am i to argue? even though i am part american indian, my rain dance was not happening with little water. i could not make it stop raining and they refused to grant me the reasonable accommodation. when i went to the planning commission on the at&t powers that i spoke of, and i let the commission know that my reasonable accommodation request was denied, cristina fell off her chair. i said, i am taking that up in another arena. thank you for. one of the comments we have in san francisco is we do not have an ada compliant reasonable accommodation policy other than the city's attorney's office. it has been gathering dust -- a gathering dust for four years. i am a product of that. i believe in due process and that is all i am asking for. vice president hwang: in your appeal letter, you read the signs appeared around december 19, 2011. on the jurisdiction request date, what date was that? december 30? as of the 19th of december, that was when you first had notice of the construction of was taking place? >
