, this is aspirational for us as much as anything. this is who we are trying to be and to live into. and there's something that i believe cornell west said this, justice is what love looks like in public. jesus' ministry was a ministry of love. jesus, when asked what is the most important command? he said to love god with all your heart and soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself. justice is love made visible. it's what love looks like in public. it's about making love for our fellow man part of our system, part of our policies. that, for us, is a very important part, the heart really, and truly of our walk as people of faith. >> we received an e-mail from you, a couple, i guess a month or so ago about occupy san francisco and 2 or 300 clergy showed up. we were there all day for prayer, support and so forth. what led to that? >> i think what led to it was a frustration, in some way, with, what we were hearing was this was just a bunch of anarchists, this was one group of people, they didn't have a message, that kind of thing

used for anything else. and when you have properties such as this one, it has another used to benefit in neighborhood. e can raise the issue if it remains as surplus property, but the purpose of my amendment is to make sure that we are disciplined and taking a look to see how it is being used, if the neighborhood follows through with its plan and to make a decision about whether to keep it or transfer it back. at this point, we can open it up for public comment. do we have any cards? supervisor mar: we will limit it to 2 minutes per person. because of the five items on the agenda today. supervisor wiener: i will call a few names and you can line up.

gration has been used as sort of a substitute for a -- immigration has been used as a sort of substitute for things that people are upset about, and it becomes easier to kick the immigrant. we see that with the restrictionists and the hate movement. those are the kind of things we are fighting against. some of that sells politically. the challenge is, as cindy was saying, in other parts of the country, really getting people to see that being against immigration is being against america, and that we have to reframe the analysis that way so that people can't hide behind it and use that as their basis for bad votes and sort of running away from the issue. >> thank you. once department, thank you, panelists. >> i will make my comments. when i heard bat, for me it was good because it was like a recharging of the batteries. i needed that because i had been drinking the kool aid of the bad stuff out there and believing maybe there was no hope. but like most of you, i do believe there will be. i remember bart's story, that when we did go back to washington, the irish group. and we walked right b

also, i agree with commissioner miguel that it is unfortunate that this did not come back to us as a mixed use project. it would have been nice to have that conversation about work force housing or something that we might have seen there. but under the circumstances, i regret having to support the motion on some level because i do have issues with cvs going in with the liquor license. i would rather see something go in there. i am going to be supporting the motion here it commissioner antonini. commissioner antonini: i'm going to vote against this form of the motion because i think that it has been presented very clearly that we have two entities who operate independently economically. some beer and wine sales do help to make it feasible for cvs to operate. probably not a huge percentage of their sales, but enough to make it possible for them to operate at that site given the square footage. it is a business decision. we are getting in the way of we are getting in the way of business decisions for not a

it is your responsibility to assure the lake is not used as a dump, that erosion is controlled, that the wetlands are protected, and that wildlife is protected. as an agency that has developed master plans for other elements of the water system, you have an excellent track record in planning. golden gate audubon urges you to do the same for lake merced. the job was left have done with the report you are being presented today. as it is, the report represents the thinking of over 30 stakeholder groups, including the general public. it is an excellent working document, but needs to be brought to the next level, as a master plan with eir. the draft before you indicates a need for several capital improvements. we understand these improvements cannot be considered for bond funding unless an eir is in place. we urge you to undertake a comprehensive general master plan so we can plan for and find necessary capital projects at the lake. responsible management simply means the puc needs to take control of lake merced. here is what you need to do, step by step, to be responsible and accountable.

as a general background, you have the waterfront land use plan as your master policy document for land use along the waterfront. when the plan was being developed, the port was working with the planning department at the time. we were looking at how the development of the plan policies and waterfront plan compared with those in the city's general plan, compared with the planning code and zoning map at the time. by the time we finished with the waterfront land use plan, the staffs were pretty well informed as to where there were areas in the city planning that should be updated to reflect all the work done. in the planning code, zoning map, in general plan, those policies and regulations of line with what is promoted in the waterfront plan. in the time i have been at the port, we have not had a situation where we have a disconnect between projects that the port is trying to move forward on the waterfront falling out of step with what the city's objectives are. the proposed planning code changes touch upon some many different issues. it is not entirely clear that we can have a handle on

we have the rest of our port commission joining us as well. thank you all for joining us. the excitement is growing. i think i have thanked the port commission five times now, and i will continue to. during these periods of time, there was discussion of around long term development rights. in particular, they had to do with piers 14 and 14 1/2. along with the good work of port staff, particularly with the event authority, through mr. berkley's considerable help and understanding of the concern that were raised, our offices willingness to work with him to find a solution, we would like to announce in cooperation with the port commission we have a solution. we have agreed to an exchange of development rights with the organizing committee, the event authority. they will be giving up their long-term development rights to pier 14 to 22 1/2 and will be offered and have accepted the rights to pier 54. i think that is a major agreement. a lot of concern were raised about views, the impact of developing in front of those marina piers. this has been a wonderful solution, took a lot
