the pacific heights association came out yesterday very dubious about taking two lanes off of van ness. the golden gate valley association is having a meeting tomorrow night. the russian hill association is going to, within a week or two, planning a meeting on this. i spoke to someone at the lower polk street association were these people just give a presentation a couple days ago. he thought the meeting idea was a very good idea, but he was shocked to learn its involved taking two lanes away from a van ness. that is where they are. they're not focused at all. you need more than a week for the neighborhood associations to really wrap their minds around it. in doing so, i know technically these people are required to report in terms of percentage, but i would like everybody to keep in mind in means two or three minutes. reliability that somewhat depends not so much on traffic but on the bus drivers showing up, because it is a stressful job. reliability is also a matter of two or three minutes. and the extra cost to take a plane away each direction is $80 million -- to take a lane away.

all of you department heads, i do not have many complaints because the neighborhood association, from pacific heights has come to address me on issues. i represent a neighborhood association. firstly, i would like to thank the police department for continuous patrols of our neighborhoods. we have about 1500 residents in the area with continuous police patrol. thank you to the fire department in your continue its maintenance around the neighborhood of the fire department's and accessories. " we would like to address is we have lost many from our neighborhoods because of housing. affordable housing is a main concern. when i moved into the neighborhood, our neighborhood was no different. affordable housing for families and seniors. two weeks ago i noticed that there were teenagers that could no longer afford to live in san francisco. with targets scheduled to move in the neighborhood, with planning and talking to targets we work with the city department to figure out what we would do with traffic congestion in the old corridor in the city center. that is something that we can work on as we move forward.
