marie harrison. welcome. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is marie harrison. i am a board member of green action for health and environmental justice. before then, i was a staff member for over 20 years. i live, to work and play in bayview, hunter's point when most of you were young. let's just put it that way. you will know i have been there a wild. i guess one of the real things that i want you to consider, are you considering the lives that will be damaged? are you really considering the lives that would be damaged even further than what they already are? are you going to look me in the face and tell me that my life is worth 400 apartments or housing? can you do that? can you look at our children in the face who are suffering from asthma and cancer and all the other things that we are suffering from and tell them that it is ok? that it is an overriding consideration for housing, that you know as well as i do, most of them will never be able to afford. ok. see you are building up a community, not for the folks who are there who live, work, play, prayed, and

. >> marie harrison with bayview hunt ers point and green acti hunters point green action. i i'm puzzled because here we are again, asking for the same thing. we're asking, board of supervisors -- excuse me. i have this weird thing going on. i would really like for the supervisors to face me and see me when i'm talking to them. it's only respectful, okay? i have not disrespected you, and i would like for you to respect me by facing me, all of you. you want to ask them to be a little respectful here, please? now, as i was saying it is difficult to come back here again and again and again to keep telling you that you keep ignoring the health risk for our community, and people like myself who are already sick, who can't take anymore. are we supposed to be discounted? are we? are you going to cast your vote to allow a property to move forward that your own e.i.r. states will cause damage and increase the amount of damage to the human reseceptors within ou community in we're not just talking about seniors such as myself, we're talking about youngsters, and we're talking about ba

tony kelly standing in solidarity with marie harrison and the environmental appeal brought by greenaction and their allies. supervisors, you know, you feel this, developers feel this had, the public feels this, the eir consideration is a brutal process, and i hate to choose, just along with everyone else here, about attending yesterday's hearing or today's hearing, because i can't get my schedule at work to be here for both when, in fact, i wish this project was better, but i really wish this eir was complete, so i chose to be here today, when really there are issues with both. but really it's the eir under consideration today, and supervisors, i should not have to remind you here in this year of our lord 2018 about india basin, its location next to the shipyard and what's been going on for the last ten weary, frightening years about the shipyard, but it's still a shock that in bay view and san francisco in 2018, the city is considering approving an eir for a building project next to the shipyard that hasn't fully considered how safe the dirt is. has environmental impact that can't be mit

i want to close with a quote from marie harrison who cannot be here today, because her lungs are 60% scarred. basically, her message -- she is outraged that they -- >> supervisor tang: ok. thank you, very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is jeff welch. i am a resident of north beach and i am also a piledriver local 34. i am here today to voice my support for this project. i am all for it. there is over 2 million square feet of new construction and it will provide a local and future jobs in the area. i am also glad it is a local project because i will have the opportunity to work close to home so i don't have to travel. at least not that far. less travel, the better for me. i have been doing it for 32 years. it will provide jobs, at completion. 1500 units of housing opportunity for san francisco residents. san francisco has a housing shortage and these project contributes to the solution and not the problem. think about it. these acts today and let's move forward with the india basin process. thank you. >> supervisor tang: next speaker, please. >> my name is fran
