explaining her conversation with the supervisor, but the amount of pressure being put on us in this particular case, cumulatively from neighbors in north beach, more effective than ever one else, given the distribution of powers in their neighborhood, i believe we owe it to ourselves to have a larger dialogue, and i understand the supervisor did not have the time to discuss this. these are federal laws, which we are continuing to interpret as best as we can. i read them, and i have a really hard time understanding when the laws apply or when they are amended. i feel i owe it to myself not to go just on one because the issue is a much larger discussion, and i would really prefer that the discussion is had prior to that answer into a larger neighborhood, such as a north beach dense neighborhood. commissioner antonini: i just wanted to mention that on the issue, of the continuance, there is, as most of our issues, a division of opinion among the neighbors in the area, so i think that it is an issue that would be good to hear today. >> commissioners, before you take your action, let me point out, there has also been an amendment to the mot
