peter cohen with the council of community housing organizations. this is really an exciting time for us. we have been in the affordable housing world for a long time. seeing the talk about educator housing coming to fruition this year is great and we are happy to be part of it. there is a lot of technical stuff. i want to acknowledge the great partnerships we have experienced starting with the board of supervisorses, particularly the sponsors having the vision to get the voters to put affordable housing for educators front and center. we have streamlining and re-zoning and buy right and that takes care of time and money as well as the board dedicating money to jump start that. those are smart moves. the board of he ha of education. you are great to work with with a clear framework so everybody the rowing in the same direction is very, very helpful. also, with the staff. the staff of sfusd. i know it has been great getting to know you and pulling together the housing working group, the mayor's office of housing providing technical support and the ho

peter cohen. the pdas at a technical level, i would like to step back and think about this item in contrast to the last item sb50 and the conversation about local community planning. it is very encouraging to hear your planning department staff and i am thinking about supervisor brown's comments early about the staff being helpful. it is not a technical resource. you didn't see the planning department staff taking a position opposing sb50 based on the amendment the board put forward. frankly, that is what a planning department should be doing. unfortunately they were silent and it took the board to do that technical work. now the planning department is coming forward with a pda proposal saying this is not dictating zoning or telling you your process is taken away from you. this is the short of music to a lot of folks ears about doing the planning right. of course, all of the details matter much. it seems to be a contradictory narrative. the state knows what is right and the right process and knows

i'll read additional names, garry wise, suzanna parsons, jeff rego and peter cohen. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm with the san francisco coalition. i'm just echoing the same thing as everybody else said. this is a very flawed bill but i am grateful to supervisor mar for having these amendments that are going to be desperately needed if this bill is ever going to pass. and i just want to bring up one thing that supervisor brown brought up about the planning and whether or not they weighed in on this. while the planning publishes this thing called a nexus studies. studies. in the past two, they did state for every 100 units you build, you need 25 units for low income to house the people that will be supporting the 100 unit market rate residents of those 100 unit brand-new luxury condos. if you put in the middle-class, that number raises to 37 units. so if we cannot put at least 37% for affordable housing, we're not even going to cut a dent in our affordability crisis. and one other suggestion that i have with respect to the amendments is maybe it is too radical but maybe we should
