. >> hi supervisors, i am valerie brown with supervisor breed and here in support of paul and an active member of the neighborhood and part of the office as long as i can remember. paul has a long resume as a activists and i met him and president of the hayes valley neighborhood association and i gravitated towards paul because he got people to work together on ideas and issues that affected not only hayes valley but the community at large. when my role changed i watched paul from the study side and worked with the city and community and the design and implementation in the land use in the market and ovtavia area including patricia's green and has been involved in the corridor and the surrounding community. it's so important to have someone that understands the impacts of the areas of rapid growth especially with the new developments that will bring thousands of new residents to the neighborhoods and has been the go to office when we need a reasonable, thinks out of the box but sensitive person that works well with the diverse community and supervisor breed gives full support to paul ol
