you know, i've known scott weaner for many years. we went to law school together, and i think something he said about our youth today is something that is very, very important for us to remember. you know, as youth, you always have the concept of the invincibility of youth and we've all had that. you're a young person, you don't think that anything can happen to you. but the reality is that for folks who are part of this newer generation, they didn't go through that. and i think it's important for us to underscore the severity of this disease, of this illness, and it's still des mating many communities. and it is especially low-income communities, communities of color, you have gay african-american men, latino men infected on a daily basis. people forget we still have people dying of aids. i had a close friend of mine who recently passed away of aids, michael goldstein, and he was an advocate for hiv prevention for finding a cure for hiv. and you can think of so many michael goldsteins. and dr. colfax and other people mentioned that.

[laughter] >> it was a learning experience. so, you know, 30 years ago san francisco, we had to start going it alone. we had the epidemic break out here and we weren't getting a lot of support from the federal government and the state government. and this city did what we often do here. we pulled together and we got it done. and we took care of our community and we developed innovative ways for prevention and for treatment and for making sure that people living with the disease had access to services. and fast forward 30 years, and this city continues to lead. and continues to be innovative and conti

andres from scott weaner's office. he is in committee and is not able to come here today. placing before you amend the castro [speaker not understood] and allow for a five foot height bonus for active ground floors. you have seen similar legislation recently that has provided this bonus to parts of taraval, judah, noriega, clement, [speaker not understood] and other commercial districts throughout the city. but the presentation allows street frontages to be built in the same way they were historically with tall area ground floors. we believe that this is good urban design and will help further activate our neighborhood commercial corridors. this legislation to be clear would not allow for an extra story of development. we have met with the many neighborhood organizations of these two communities, both merchant groups and neighborhood organizationses and their strong support for this legislation and we would be honored to have your support as well. thank you. >> thanks, andres. so, this bob o'brien -- bonus will only be applicable to active uses provided on the ground floor
