andrea a yala, andrea, mike bowler, robin le vits. and allen martinez. you have 2 minutes. c'mon up. >>> good afternoon supervisors. my name is andrea ayala, from the market benefit district. today i'm speaking for myself. primarily because of the quick notice there is no time for our port to get together to talk about this. i'm here to support dennis' appointment to the planning commission. i'm here today because i have noticed and been working with dennis for about 6-7 years and his absolute devotion to san francisco and planning and land use issues. he's in a leadership position for a very long time and also been as you said involved in the market octavia plan for as long as i have known him which is about 6-7 years before the plan was finalized and his commitment to that and what he shared with the community was commendable. he's still interested and still quite devoted to these issues. and as a leader, as president of dtna, the association has significantly influenced land use in the upper market and castro neighborhood. and there have not always necessarily said yes t
