i'm here to ask that the outside lands producers and rec and park sit down with us, listen to us, and work with us in the future to mitigate these problems and other concerns caused by the outside lands and other park concert. please let's not go through this again. i also have a letter i am submitting. i will try to read it. summarizes some of my earlier comments. attached are complaints of other residents in the richmond district about the outside lands concert in golden gate park. my experience is similar to those in the attachment. most of the times, it was very unpleasant. i was forced to leave my home in order to get a little peace and quiet. the excessive noise was only part of the problem. the neighborhood was covered with litter. there were illegal cameras in the park and there were complaints of other anti-social behavior. additionally, there's a great deal of resentment that this concert was planned with little regard to the residents of the neighborhood and joining golden gate park. i hope there will be fewer problems and other events in the future. your attention to these

events at the un i've seen a torrent of criticism on the us with many using washington and new heights of pandering to israeli interests that as a new report has emerged claiming president obama transfer fifty five high take a bunker buster bombs to israel only months into his trauma the office something even the bush administration had refused to do but i know according to author and historian william blair and it's all about campaign fund it. well the u.s. has been giving israel all none of obama's her decades and decades this is nothing new it's not based on logic i mean if you ask a rational explanation that is not what he got he is pro israel because of the money he gets in the us for his election campaigns he gets a flocking to jewish lobbies and jewish individuals that's why motivates him and that's the only rationale he hasn't have to be logical about what he does on consistency. and u.k. government has granted police are events far right groups are marching from several parts of london for thirty days scotland yard says it's applied for the ban over fears of violence and disor

for the next six years, you are a community partner with us, partnering with us to revitalize neighborhood and then, if you are successful in six years, hopefully and the midmarket become successful, you come back into the tax system. i do not have an interest in expanding it. it was not about corporate welfare to companies. that was not the purpose. the purpose was to help revitalize the area and make it the use is supposed to be for large businesses that have an incredible number of jobs for santa insistence. with 18 muni bus lines that -- for san francisco. we have 18 muni bus lines that run through it. that is what this legislation was carefully tailored to have that type of outcome. i am happy to concede we should monitor the legislation and make sure it is doing what we wanted to do. >> talk about the role of sports and in the city's future. you have thoughts about the america's cup, the 49ers? supervisor kim: i am a fan of the forty-niners and are giants and are warriors. i want them to stay in the area. one thing i love about the giants is it is so easily accessible by caltran and

the poverty that exists, but i urge you to come, when you're in your campaign mode, to talk with us, and be with us. i am sure you will be aware that not only are we advocating for this part, but we have a lot of energy, a lot of passion, a lot of work we want to bring to this process of making this a reality. >> [speaking spanish] >> we also need affordable housing, accessible housing. please help us make that a reality. we believe in you and do not want to stop believing in you. thank you. >> my name is pat delgado. i am a part advocate in the mission district. -- a park advocate in the mission district. this is a vital new part in our neighborhood. we have very little open space. we have franklin. we have kid power. we have delores, but it is way over there. we have garfield. up in this area, which is part of the old industrial zone, we need more open space. this is a great idea. please help us make it a reality. thank you. chairperson mar: thank you. i see only three more speakers, and then we're going to close public comment. >> my name is jamie olberg. i am from mission local. i was hoping to

us some cooperation. they've given us the opportunity to work with us to go after targets gether. they just as a matter of fact within the last this hours called an individual called moretainy. >> charlie: the pakistanis caught him. >> the pakistanis caught him working with us. they've worked with us to go after those kinds of targets and they've indicated a willingness to do that. at the same time i think we have to recognize that pakistan is a critical country in that region of the world. not only in terms of trying to give us some cooperation in the war we are conducting here but also because they are a nuclear power. also because they themselves are in the effort to try to confront terrorism there. but also because they can be extremely important to us in the effort to provide stability in afghanistan and other areas. they have to be, they have to play a role in that. so for that reason, while we don't agree on evething we do obviously while we have controversies and differences in a number of areas we have to do everything possible to work with them. >> charlie: the shock wave

. >> with us now, mark rege , a spokesman. thanks very much for joining us tonight. is it possible, looking at this now, we think that there may be some time in here over the next couple of weeks that this diplomatic showdown, that may not happen tonight, has pushed the peace process forward. do you have any hope that there might be a way that the two sides can sit down together in the next couple of weeks? >> i think israel certainly hopes so. ultimately, we all understand that the solution is negotiations and getting a peace agreement. and that can only happen if we sit down together. if the palestinians really take a step back and put their u.n. bid here on hold and return to direct talks in israel, well, the door is open. we can negotiate. we're ready to negotiate. we've been continuously calling to restart the peace process. if the palestinians are there, that gives a certain amount of optimism. >> well, as you know, a lot of people think that israelis continuing to build in the west bank and east jerusalem has, sort of, infringed on, certainly, the palestinian'

has proven true. >> one of the things happening here is that inflation of drug use -- conflation of drug use with marijuana use. john, you met up flawed argument in your presentation. in 1979, hu said, drug use was at a high in america. 40 million americans were using grid by 1918, down to 20 million. therefore that was when nancy reagan and the drug war was a success. we cut drug use and have. it was using in 1979? high-school kids >> in 1979, no one had heard of crack cocaine. in 1979, no one had heard of drug-related hiv or aids. 1979, 50,000 people behind bars. all the way to a half million today. 1989, $40 million and upward. when i looked at those years since they give me a choice between 1970 and 1979, no crack, no aides, i will say 1979 is the best of all years. >> i hate to intercede on such an impassioned point, but we are out of time. within the interesting topic, we could go on for hours, but unfortunately, we are up against time. i would like to thank each of you for being here and the audience for being here and i would like to thank all of you for letting me participate with you. >> former bryan
