my name is michael hughes, and i live at 250 kearny. i'm obviously a veteran.ty much the gentleman prior to me said everything i would want to see. another establishment providing liquor in the area would generally -- there's already a plethora of establishments that offer alcoholic beverages, whether re-taylor bars. there was a -- retail or bars. there was an argument about having alcohol available at 7:00 in the morning just lengthens the day, which is probably not good for the neighborhood as a whole. basically, i think there's already enough alcoholic establishments in the area. another one isn't really -- it's not going to contribute to the goodness of the neighborhood at all. thank you. >> chair mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. my name is stephen tillish, and i also live at 250 kearny street, and there's a lot of people in that building that are recovering from various addictions, and i really don't think we need another establishment, like mike said, especially opening up at 7:00 a.m. in the morning to offer booze for the, you know, addicted
