>> good evening, commissioners, i am petra jana paul and i live with my husband and 3 daughters at 348 duncan in our amazing neighborhood for nearly 15. thank you for hearing my testimony. i'd like to reiterate my neighbor's comment that 437 duncan was far from an eye sore, it was a lovely garden maintained by the neighbors since they moved up north. a number of family and neighbors have lived in the house off and on for years. i have to question if the project sponsor is telling these stories as part of their argument why it should be approved as it is and when i know these stories have no truth behind it, what are the other stories behind it. what georgia, miss schuttish, explained from the beginning, we are looking at the issue of relative affordability. obviously san francisco is hardly affordable in the normal context. it is your job to decide what is relatively affordable. the idea of reducing the square footage feels very appropriate to me because of the ability to have a house that fits within the neighborhood context. obviously google maps can show you and the exhibits georgia
