i encourage my colleagues to support the san san franciscans who are in danger of being displaced. many of us serve on the golden gate bridge district. i used to be on the bridge board as well. the bridge is a public treasure that's earned by the district of the northern counties. san franciscans and the bay area and tourists all over the world enjoy the bridge 365 days a year. it's not just a piece of infrastructure but also a gateway to the national park and has history in it and the architectal wonder. it's one of the wonders in the world in many people's opinion. san francisco is expensive enough. this isn't something people should have to pay for to enjoy. people on foot are not contributing to the wear and tear on the bridge. it's the cars, trucks and advance. walking and biking are contrary to the health and environmental goals of our city and our region and the golden gate bridge itself. i wanted to thank the bike coalition and the walkers. the rest i'll submit >> thank you supervisor mar. supervisor tang. >> thank you. colleagues today in partnership with supervisor nina a

and i'm a first generation san franciscan born resident, married, two children. i am in favor of this project. when my parents immigrated from mexico, this was the american dream. we settled in san francisco after traveling to the east coast. we came here and loved it and stayed here and my parents have raised six children in san francisco. we are educated in san francisco and played in all the park new york stock exchange in san francisco. as i entered the city, all i have seen is housing and i think the housing take more precedent on the agenda for this city. i'm being priced out of san francisco. a bmr is a possibility for me to stay stay , work and live in the city. it's important for the housing to be there for us to live and to thrive. i think the buildings could be on the hook for $140,000 in property taxes and a sizeable donation to the parks department. i don't see any -- just following the logic of this project, it's better than most that i have seen out there, and thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> commissioners, my name is charl
