thank you. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you. i will say, i never have a problem with anyone agreeing or disagreeing with me or anyone. we are all elected represents and have an obligation to make an independent judgment on whether to support or not support anything. i completely respect my colleague's disagreement. there's no rule or requirement that anything coming out of this board needs to be unanimous and sometimes disagreement can be healthy. it's democracy. what i do have challenges is when i hear statements that are not founded. i mean, to suggest this is being forced down anyone's throat, there is no basis for that. this has gone through almost a year of process. we have had three hearings at budget, multiple meetings at other committees, various meetings throughout the community. if we had frequent flier miles for the traveling we've done around the city to talk to community groups about this measure i think we'd all be in some sort of high elite frequent flier status. also, this will not become the law of san francisco
