[inaudible] >> my name is marlene. i'm a young woman, resident of san francisco. i am speaking on behalf of washington youth shelters, just all the residents there. i feel like we need to redirect juvenile dollars to give young people who they need instead of locking them. san francisco spent $300,000 to house the youth in custody a year, while it only costs 5 to 10,000 a year for youth to receive meaningful and cost effective services in the community. we need more places like that. if we got all these resources for all these things, but it's a while district -- it's the whole bayview district, it's the whole potrero, it's the whole sunnydale. it's where the rich white people are, why it got to be there? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. >> good even. i'm sean cochran, and i'm with one of the services that was eliminated. there's a lot of stuff to talk about. i brought up a youth to speak on the program and the services that he received that will be eliminated if we continue with what's going on. >> my name is damian -- i think that the old school -- not old sc
