i want to thank scott san chez in the planning department for agreeing to reevaluate. that's all i have. thank you. >> first i would like to clarify the address. originally this was 132nd avenue, it became el camino del mar not by voice. the board of supervisors decided that every single property with frontage on el camino del mar shall use el camino del mar as the address. subsequent ly the address changed. it's not our choice. i think when it comes to the height limit, they are a lot of data in the evaluation in the record of the planning department sections, drawings that exist to support the department's decision that it's an accurate building that is within the height limit. so i don't have any objection to work with the department to go through all of those and present a very detail analysis to this board. >> thank you. >> are you finished? >> yes. >> all right. the addresses have nothing to do with how the height limit is. the parameters of the site. okay. >> that's correct. >> mr. sanchez? >> scott sanchez planning department. i just want to reiterate that we a

you got to listen to what san francisco supervisor scott weiner had to say about it. he says that he doesn't think so. he got the city economist and the san francisco municipal transportation agency to take a look at muni, a good hard look and a very unique reported. they wanted to look at muni's on time rating and look at what the lack of that on time service is cost the city. here's what they found. check out these numbers. only 58.7% of the buses and light rail vehicles actually arrive on time in the city of san francisco. and here's another one. the breakdowns are costing commuters $50 million a year in lost productivity. you have to figure some of that is staying in the local economy in lost dollars. well, muni says the buses are old, there's not enough light rail vehicles out there to service the amount of people who want to ride them, the tracks and computer system are old, and weiner says he is not satisfied. he wants muni to step up and start making things right. and he says it will not be cheap. he is looking at $2.2 million to get the system back up to snuff
