the planning commission level when i sat on the planning commission, when we look at issues like park merced, we were talking about the demolition of 1500 units of rent-control housing, which, despite the fact that some assurances were given in the development agreement later on, i still believe that there were concerns given the fact that costa hawkins, the state law that regulates rent control in the state of california has been challenged in other development agreement situations and other counties, including los angeles with the polymer decision, and my conversations with several advocates, there was a lot of concern that perhaps that would not hold, and in that case, i was concerned with the fact that it was a 30-year phase-in project that demolished 1500 units of rent control housing. hear, we are seeing the demolition of parking lots and a private swimming and tennis club, which, i know that does represent a loss to many of the individuals who use it, but it will be replaced with a swimming pool, and i have heard that there are long lists of youngsters who are waiting to access swimmi
