i want to know what happens if all of what mr. chiu is proposing -- and i like what he is proposing -- what happens if that is struck down? what happens to the tenants? the other right that is not being talked about is the right to quiet enjoyment. 30 years of construction does not constitute quiet enjoyment and the right to safety, which is also guaranteed by california civil code. when toxic substances are poured into your environment daily for 30 years -- safety? hardly. 30% of tenants at parkmerced currently are seniors. are they going to benefit from this housing? no. this housing will not be affordable to most people in san francisco. we know that most people in san francisco cannot afford market rate housing or condos? who is this being billed for? obviously, not the people live in san francisco right now. that's the problem. they're asking for more gentrification by doing that. history should have taught us that lesson by now. finally, i would like to propose that the only way that we protect the rights of tenants, the only way

mr. lazarus? >> i want to thank supervisor chiu and the parkmerced owners. we urge you to adopt the amendments and adopt a package of legislation necessary to have this project go forward. i think i mentioned this before. many of you serve on regional bodies and your predecessors have. we have pledged to take our share of population growth in this city, a regional population growth in san francisco and we have done that. our population has hit a historic high of 805,000 people. much of that growth is on the east side of town. we have rare opportunities elsewhere in the city to have in-fill growth of the type that is proposed, not overnight, but over a 15 to 20-year period. the chamber, our alliance with labor, urges you to approve this project. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. tommy, ben, brooke turner. i think i already called bart broom. my apologies for not recognizing bart from the sf public utilities commission. >> i've lived in the garden apartments since 1959, when they were only 18 years old. i recently sent in march a four- page e-mail to each

president chiu: thank you, mr. chair. first of all, i want to thank superviser elsbernd and wiener for your consideration of these issues here and obviously at the end of the day we have to balance the different interests that we have. from my perspective, i do think that while i have issues with supervisor wiener's initial resolution, i think that the amendments that he has offered really do help to emphasize the fact that, first of all, while there may be a lot of issues with the currently proposed plan , this leaves room for future ongoing dialogue between ggnra. i think that the amendments clearly lay out that we recognize and welcome additional engagement, consultation, public dialogue and we all hope that it leads to an improved plan that meets the needs of all the various stakeholders that are here. that is where i think we should go and i think that the resolution now supports that and this is why i will be supporting supervisor wiener's amendment but understanding that we do have issues that we need to resolve wi

mr. president. so -- president chiu: exciting day today. supervisor wiener: exactly. one of those days. so with respect to items six, seven and eight, the at&t appeal, you know, this has been i know for a lot of us a difficult issue. there are many, many people who would like to see this technology come into san francisco. but without damaging our public rights of way. and the ceqa issue, there's definitely a lot of arguments on both sides. and it is frankly a close call. i have very serious concerns about the impact of these boxes. i want to see the technology come into san francisco and want comcast to have competition. at&t has requested a continuance to present an altered and scaled back project. and i would like to give them the opportunity to do that. and so -- and it's my hope that they will think outside of the box literally and figuratively. and come back with something that we can live with. so i am -- i'm going -- i do move to continue item six, seven and eight for five weeks to june 28. president chiu: colleagues, advisor wiener has made a moked to continue seconded by super

>> you can't sit on -- president chiu: thank you, mr. chair. colleagues and members of the public, i again want to thank you for the years of work folks have provided to this project. as supervisor elsbernd knows, this is a critical project in the vision of what we are as san francisco. it is about smart growth, transit-oriented development, housing, and preserving and protecting rent-controlled. as a tenant, i have been concerned about the issues that have been raised by tenants around rent-controlled. many of us have spent days studying these issues and want to see them addressed. that is why earlier today, at 9:00, in our land use committee, i offered numerous amendments to make sure we are protecting and control and our tenants. i want to summarize the them for those who did not have a chance to follow what we did in land use. i have made developments -- i have made changes to our development agreement to make protections for tenants related to the transition that will occur as folks move from where they currently live into the new developm

chiu: supervisor farrell? supervisor farrell: thank you, mr. president. thank you, supervisor mirkarimi. obviously, we took the question of stock options from something of a different approach. i thought both of these pieces of legislation were mutually exclusive, and i think i still believe that. but i have to say, i have been speaking over the last week with a number of companies and individuals that were not affected by supervisor mirkarimi's legislation who are -- that considering separately, to me, is a mistake. i hope that this is a point where i can ultimately support supervisor mirkarimi's and mind together, but i do not believe we should be considering the separately. i think supervisor mirkarimi is right. we have a problem. and that is we're the only city in california that has a tax for stock options, the only city that does this, and it does not only aspect these 10 companies. it aspects -- affects a large cadre of companies. that is why i suggest my item the other week in committee was continued. i want to wait until the report comes out about that. i have no problems with t

chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> mr.sident, ladies and gentlemen of this chamber, week after week, mothers, before you pleading for justice for her son that was killed. today, we have not received that justice. yet, every time she looks around her dining room table, there is a vacancy because the one she loved, the one she bore into this world is no longer there to call her mother. i am here to tell you today it hurts, and my question is -- how long will you go on before giving her what she needs in order to obtain justice? mr. president, ladies and gentlemen, a small percentage of your practice criminal law before becoming a supervisor. therefore, you got the know how high and ordered to give her the assistance. so today, i plead with you to give her the assistance. let her have some peaceful night in her house.
