rick hall, ryan webster, miguel royal, eric post, eva royal, alejandro lucas. anyone else, please sign up at the left wall. and you get to provide public comment. >> hello. >> hick ric hall with cultural action network. i provided you a letter that it is for united to save the mission. the project sponsor has worked very, very closely with us throughout this process to come up with what we believe is a very, very strong memorandum of understanding. and has a few things that i've listed here like local hire, special discounts for seniors, design issues. they've worked with us on those. and their educational programs, et cetera. but much, much more detail and other issues too. and i have to say that i believe and after working closely with these people, and especially with joseph hunt, i believe they're going to be a real community partner. i think the m. o. u. that we've worked together on, we have not had to drag them to any of the issues. we mentioned something about a community concern, and they recognize it. they work with us to alleviate it through some mea

. >> rick hall. i would join what says we don't know enough about this yet. it should be continued. there should be a lot more involvement by the communities in what this is. you can see by the lack of turnout here, most communities don't really -- aren't engaged at this level. yet planning works with us in the mission a lot. this one even came up and surprised us. why, aren't there community meetings throughout the impacted communities east and west working with their supervisors to get in put on this before it is just, you know, sort of waved forward? what are the implications? what are we getting out of taking this bribe of a very small amount of money to send a signal we are open for market rate business? we need to consider these things. you guys need to figure out what are we saying and what are the implications when, you know, the next version of sb50 says and pdas we are going to do x? why aren't we taking out other pdas where we have on the eastern side of the cityover overdone and overbuilt. we haven't answered the questions that need answered. >> next speaker. >> . >> san

. >> rick hall. anti-gentrification activist. i support this resolution, but i would much rather see it being an opposed full stop. president yee said we should be exempt from sb50. that fits with what senator wiener is doing carve outs across the state to sell his disastrous bill. la supervisor paul carrets vowed to keep la opposed even if all of los angeles is carved out. he would do that because it is right for the rest of the state and that carve outs from pieces of this bill in order to sell it and impose it on other parts of the state are just wrong. the premise of sb50 that state mandated top down one size fits all plans is wrong, obviously, one size does not fit all. you have heard speaker after speaker after speaker tell you what is wrong with this bill, and everything they said is right. but taking the power from our planning commissioners, supervisors and local electives and handing to the developers is wrong. there is so much wrong with is this bill, and with its author. i will read a tweet that came across when i was

rick hall gets up here and tells us that they get an a plus and three gold stars for all the stuff they've agreed to. that says a lot to me. one other thing, i walked by hybrid gym all the time and said i was going to join and it's no longer there so if you put a hybrid gym in i'll come and do cannabis and do some boxing. i move to approve. >> second. >> commissioner fung. >> question for staff. what are the uses of the floors above this space? i believe two floors. >> the upper floors are occupied by arts activity uses. it's i believe a community space. >> both floors are community space? >> there's no residential uses above. >> i'm saying both floors are community space? >> that's my understanding, yes. >> commissioner diamond. >> staff recommendation to approve but without the lounge? >> yes. so staff's initial recommendation was for approval with a condition of approval which is still in your packet which would prohibit on-site consumption. our policy for where to allow on-site consumption is something we are still developing and learning over time, particularly in the mission district

. >> rick hall, cultural action n. i'm a bit confused about this wg especially after peter because a city were opposing sb50. [off mic] that we as a city are. and that's sort of my reason thd oppose this thing too. this thing that's being presentt of like what they are doing to . they are saying, oh, top down, u do it to yourself, we won't havo you. so i would suggest that plannint peter cohen said, do a very goog what this is going to be befores go forward in approving expansi. maybe we need a few expansion o. we need to withdraw some too. this is a signal. we sent a bad signal last time. the mission and east side of tht decimated with market rate housd gentrification, et cetera. let's not do the same thing to f the city. equity isn't geographic equity,t side of the city too. equity is building a plan that e equity stuff you talked about td gets built what needs to be bui. and that is not market-rate houf signals, tons of market-rate hot more and more techies to come hf i the rest of the city. so this really needs thi

okay, halle jackson kicking things off, thank you i want to bring in jonathan allen. natasha bertrand, and rick pildris. let me pick up on that last point that halle jackson was making about the significant of what lisa murkowski had to say. do you want other republicans to follow her lead? >> the one thing that we don't know right now is where the votes are for we don't know how many senators would vote to go forward without witnesses. she was buying time for mcconnell and schumer to work out a deal that would be beneficial to democrats and mcconnell to figure out where his votes were. she is just not giving up that leverage. the question about what murkowski said is is she representing the views of the other people in the republican conference is it just her, or are there others if she is one of three senate republicans that refused to sign on to that resolution impeachment inquiry. the other is susan collins of maine, and i'm curious to get your take on this does this put pressure on susan collins or mitt romney or corey gardner all eyes are on what republicans will form a crack in the quali
