ms. rogers. >> good afternoon. teresa flanderick, community action. i'm here to support my friends, my community in soma. we represent soma. what we also know is how important it is to feel and know that you are safe in your neighborhood, in your home, that your home will not be taken. and so to have funding that would also afford a purchase of some of the rent-controlled buildings so they're not turned into tics and luxury condos and sold to the highest bidder. to preserve the housing that is there, also the sros. that it would be great to have funding that is specified for these purchases, as well as any affordable housing that is to be built, if there is no more land yet because it's been used for other things. that becomes a problem. so in terms of securing a cultural district, a community that's been there for many, many years, to do all that we can to preserve what is there so that the people can continue to grow their community, rather than have it destroyed. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you, supervisors, for holding this meeting.
