laura clark, yimby action. we've been following the evolve adu legislation very carefully, and we're really excited about this implementation. the planning department worked out a system to ensure that the accessory dwelling unit would come on-line. i think you heard the planning department discuss that there are consequences of up to fees $250 a day. the planning commission and department are very dedicated to making sure that these dwelling units come on-line. this is exactly the kind of gentle in-fill accessory dwelling units that we need to be seeing across the city in our low density districts. i used to live in noe valley, and i would stand on my illegal porch and drink coffee. it was an >> clerk: okay. we will now move onto rebuttal. hana escobedo-hoyo, you will have six minutes. >> thank you. commissioners, i wanted to let you know why i have not responded to the e-mails. unfortunately, the situation has lost any trust as well as dealing with business in good faith. as an example, i hired an architect t

. >> hi, laura clark, pro-housing advocate. and i want to sort of draw attention to the potential of the body that we really creating a bad precedent. because if we are really talking about preserving an important example of suburban corporate property, like maybe we shouldn't. suburbanization was a bad thing. we should not have been suburbanizing san francisco. and we should not suburbanize san francisco going forward. we're a city. we need to thrive. we need our community to become denser and vibrant and have more people have opportunities to create more historical events in these communities. the city needs to grow. and that does mean change. and we should preserve things of true historical relevance. and it was a little interesting to hear about the history of the insurance company. maybe not that interesting. i don't know how you all feel about the education we had about a particular insurance company. but i think that there are far more historical events that have happened in san francisco. there are far more beautiful an

laura clark, yimby action. we're all exhausted. half of the planning commissioners have peaced out because this has gone on and on, and that's how all of these decisions are made, is after an extremely difficult protracted process where we are whittled down to the last lunaticks, myself included, where we are beating the last drum, and that is this massive program that we're talking about. and it looks like it's going to be the last area plan for a while. the planning department doesn't have another large area plan in the pipeline, and so the last one that we're looking at in quite a while is one that adds a lot of jobs without a lot of housing. and we have the capacity to build the amount of housing that this plan is calling for, but it does involve deciding that we're actually going to stop just chattering about upzoning geary and actually do it. it does mean that we're going to have to take those gentle in-fill two and four unit projects that get proposed and whittled down to death every day in especially wealthier communities.

laura clark. i just want to point to a very moving system testimony. and i am here about another issue, but i think this is really important. i wanted to draw attention to the fact that a speaker was asked where they live. and i want to draw attention to how frought and unacceptable that is and especially talking about native people who have been displaced from this place. it is inappropriate and unacceptable question to be asking people and effects us all incorrectly. we are caught in a web of inescapable mutuality. these are martin luther king's words. we effect once another and every person from every community has a right to speak out on this issue and every other issue in san francisco. >> thank you. >> and i am speaking on my own behalf. and the statue out there is abhorrent. it is a racist symbol. it's our history. we've got to live with it. the polish government is trying to rewrite history and changing the legacy of that genocide that occurred there. the genocide that's being shown by that monument is something we need our grandchildren and th

laura clark, yimby action. i think i would like you to take into account all the people who are housing insecure. there are many people who are housing secure and who may be concerned about the value of their condos or about the light and air that they believe that will be reduced by having new neighbors, and i would like you to consider all 141 families who could be potentially finding refuge in this new building. it is unfair of you to only consider the current residents, the current homeowners, the current taxpayers. we must consider the future of this city. we are talking about the mission moratorium found that 80% of new housing construction actually goes to current residents, so when you are taking into octthose 141 units, you are -- account those 141 units, you are also taking into welfare 141 current residents and their children as well as people who have been displaced as well as their neighbors. we know that the two tower is completely unfeasible. it means 28 fewer units will be built. it will set thi
