there was a very noted story from the chronicle tt reporter otis taylor, about a gentleman whose life was based in san francisco. he stuck at midnight in boy point, has no place to go and wound up shivering in the parking lot, came back at 4 in the morning when the system is starting, and was spoken to by a bart police officer, said i hope you're not planning to fare evade. when we got on the train, he was angry and belligerent and it was unsafe situation and that's what otis taylor wrote about. they have a core team which is the equivalent of the hot team and they spent $7 million last year on ambulance transports of individuals that are homeless. it's a huge drain on their public health system and their emergency response system. and there are instances in which every ambulance is tied up responding to an individual whose homeless, many of whom are at bart stations, three particular bart stations in contra costa county. one the things we hope to do is create a similar partnership and bring the core team into contra costa. i'm so impressed with the work they do. jeff, his colleagues,
