. >> my name is kofi harker. i am a recent transplant from chicago and have been living in the neighborhood for a little over a year and shows the neighborhood specifically with its proximity to union street and chestnut, given the fact that moving from an urban setting, while i love the picturesque aspects of sand francisco, i also really like close proximity to local businesses, and night life, restaurants, and also, having a patio in downtown chicago is something i like to be able to do in terms of sitting outside, having something to eat, and visiting with friends. i have also been quite impressed by the overwhelming support of the brickyard, having moved to the neighborhood from chicago, and not only does of the building have my support -- the patio and regard have my support, but they also have support -- and brickyard have my support, but they also have the support of three prominent businesses in the neighborhood. it also has three business associations -- 26 local business owners and also 1300 residents,
