i'm going to start with abraham simmons lynn jefferson and robert gerrard. >> good afternoon. >> i come to you as a father who speaks in favor of this project. this park from the perspective of a father of 3 is truly a god sent i do not get out here enough and speak enough about the project i like and in opposition to the ones i don't but i'm almost always in favor of these projects for the families to have an easier time in san francisco and to stay in san francisco so i want to say this project is a god sent and i don't get a chance to thank all these people all the time to put in a word from the north beach neighbors and russian hill neighbors all the people we're hearing from today who have been in support of this project that make lives like mine
