i submit. >> thank you, supervisor farrell. supervisor kim. supervisor mar. >> thank you. i have a couple of items, but first keeping with the issue of supporting vulnerable populations in the city and my work with many senior organizations over the years, facing the displacement crisis right now, i think seniors are facing a really uncertain future and face extreme financial hardships right now. i'm submitting a budget and legislative analyst request to analyze the economic impacts of free muni for low-income seniors and people with disabilities. there are over 140,000 seniorses in san francisco and that population will have doubled within the next 10 to 20 years. 27% are well over one in four live in poverty and about 31% live alone are totally isolated and have very little contact with others. thousands of them live in subsidized housing including sros in our city. the city's improved revenues are directly related to the tech boom, i think some say which is also making san francisco less affordable by the day for many seniors and people with disabilities. that's why it's

before i go to supervisor mar and kim, i know rec and park was also going to make a presentation. so, let me just ask colleagues, supervisor mar, do you want to ask your questions of planning or do you want to wait for rec and park's presentation? >> there's one that's relevant to this question of is there substantial evidence. of their argument . wild equity is saying one expert, greg hammond, the hydrologist that worked with the recreation and park department and analyzed the hydrology, according to wild equity, they're saying that he explained that the pumping rate will harm the threatened california red legged frog and the laguna solano wet land complex in two wii ways. one, it will cause harm to the california frog by draining more of the frog's breeding habitat, ~ the cover habitat being impacted. and impacting the reproduction of the frog. and then this expert has said, number two, increasing the pumping rate will cause the complex's water level to remain shallow for a longer period of time. and because the ave station grows rapidly in shallow water, it cannot be sustained u
