thank you commissioners for this opportunity my name is yolanda lewis and i'm with the black council of san francisco. 30 articles of law proclaimed as standards for all people i come to you today with a letter and with a request and i also made copies and basically the council is reaching out to you for your immediate action to ensure the safety of all san franciscans and establish standards for building demolition for all of san francisco buildings that have a focus on safety first. recently discussions on the candlestick demolition highlighted and plans to ignore what was approved for the demolition method actions were taken to cut costs and perform a manual demolition. to prevent the negative impact associated without using appropriate demolition methods. you put into place standards for this city and county so never again we have to fight so that we do not have conventional safe demolition methods it's so unfair in the black community that's the only place we have unsafe demolitions it effects us for generations i was born in san francisco i spoke with my father he he left becau
