mr. toronto, welcome back. >> it's been a while. i had to get a little sleep to come here, because i went to the airport commission meeting this morning. i worked until 4 in the morning, i couldn't go home and get back here, but i got a little shut eye. i want to congratulate you on your chairmanship. i want to address what director borden mentioned about the jobs for muni drivers. how about offering them to cab drivers where you have our records and background checks? why is it only the chariot? and we work with a variety of different passengers. why can't you offer it to us, because a lot of us are going to lose our jobs at the end of the month if this plan goes into effect. if you want to understand why, we'll address it during public comment. it would be great if the chariot drivers, who are relatively new to the city, we got equal access to the muni jobs that are vacant. >> thank you, mr. toronto, excellent idea. you're not the only one that hadet. thank you for sharing it. i don't think there is any other public comment on tha

mr. toronto. >> clerk: followed by maria sherman and david driver. >> when i used to come i used to hear all the time and the bands are still going on. the proposals to ban. i'd be a hypocrite to say i'd feel uncomfortable in my neighborhood near open space if i had a group of rvs parked there. i'd be uncomfortable too. the thing is there's got to be a solution. you can't just keep bringing them up because they go some where else and next topic's about napoleon street and it's probably a better spot for them to be because all you have are cab companies and industrial spaces. not a lot of housing. but the thing is that you have do work win the director of -- with the director of homelessness performing tucomo lum and you can look that up it's a jewish organization and i appreciate andy thornily for bringing this to you and maybe he can run the taxis because he's run compassionately and instead of pushing them to another street and keep folling them to another street and another street work on finding a space for them. find a spot instead of keep bringing the bans before you. it's constant
