very much appreciate supervisor melgar's work on the small sites programses. she's used the phrase tool in the tool belt a number of times and we think that that's absolutely the best approach. as we scale up to state and federal levels, figuring out a way. it's so unfortunate what was done in the 60s, 70s, and 80s where the federal government stopped paying any attention to building housing for americans. hopefully this administration brings that back as well as bigger state participation and i know the redevelopment agency was attempting to get recreating, but figuring out ways those financial avenues and tax credits and other things we can do is all part of this solution. appreciate everybody's work on this and that has not worked. we have not closed up housing over the last 40 years. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you, mr. smith. let's take the next caller. we have eleven listeners with three in the queue. >> caller: hi everyone. this is kayla de marco. i'm the project manager of affordable housing san francisco. i can say we really appreciate this m
