. >> my name is mary lynne durand, i am a people organizer. hi i'm also born and raised san franciscan. this will be an interesting dating profile you guys are going to have to create for this planning director. there is a lot to think about. some of the things i want to bring forward, a lot of our community members do not have the technical knowledge. i appreciate a lot of folks presenting that, even i don't know about. some things that are important to them is being heard, being a no space where they are open to collaboration. we need a planning director that can collaborate with our community members. someone who can understand what is happening in the affordable housing crisis today. a lot of our community members are low income, members of color, who have not seen an opportunity to shine in the city. tenants who are living,, homeless houses, people in the streets, who really want someone who is looking out for them. that is what i'm here to talk about today. we feel like we have been able to move forward with our current planning director
