laura clark and sam moss. >> i'm ken cryzer. i got mixed up in the feud. >> i'm happy to meet with a young board of supervisors. i would like to give you a history. this has been before the voters four times. three times it has been a similar short-sighted housing project. all four of those projects have been defeated by the city of san francisco. i would like to compliment the mayor's office of economic and workforce development. i would like to compliment them for their deceit, their arrogance, and their contempt for the people of this city. just to give you, again, a little bit of history. back when bill wite and barbara smith were running that department, there were a bunch of nasty things said in the newspaper. it sat down with barbara smith and said, is there a compromise we can reach. she said give me a piece of paper as to what you would want, meaning the college. let us build the housing. i don't care what you think of me, but i don't look that stupid. the current farmers who are running this project have exactly the sa
