as well as lawrence cornfield and sarah hale from the richmond district and other neighborhoods as well. also the institute on aging institute in the community. my hope is that from this report will come legislative ideas that many of us will work on together. but the ad hoc committee of senior organizations that we have started, my hope is that we have generated activism and will build a movement for aging in place in an aging friendly city. with that, let me introduce mr. russo and mr. duffy to talk about the report. >> thank you. fred russo from the budget analysts office. i want to do a quick overview of our report, prepared at the request of supervisor mar. he provided a number of project objectives for us on this research. i guess that the machine is not done. reviewing practices and bottles for aging in the community, starting in the place that expanded into community when we realize that some people were aging while staying in their home was not a good option. what the supervisor asked is that we review demographic information about the population in san francisco and that we lo
