Supervisor campos thank you. Once again i want to thank may rb lee and staff for the work we have done collectively with my office and his office on this very important matter. May of last year this board of supervisors unanimously pass adresolution creating the [inaudible] latino cultural district for a area of the mission surrounding 24 street. The purpose of establishing the latino cultural district is recognize the area of the center of latino culture and commerce in San Francisco. This is a very special place and in this sense the latino cultural district is similar to other Cultural Centers in other parts of the city like china town, japan town and north beach. My office and with the mayor and residence, businesses and artist and Community Stake holders are engaged in a process to produce a special use district. We have been facilitating Community Process to development the components orphthe sud and continue to do so. We are aiming to introduce legislation for a special use district to be created effective jan of next year. We rin the process of working on that now, but because of the changes taking place we believe that the proposal which is actually very modest proposal provides the kinds of controls needed as the planning process continues. The [inaudible] makes sense for a number of reasons, among them is Small Business spaces are more affordable and accessible to many businesses, something which is very important in todays market where xhrjs rents are simply sky rocketing. One of the diverse neighborhoods servicing [inaudible] arts venues, all of those need that small space to be able to be successful. As i noted the mayor and plan to seek a short extension of the controls and likely come back to you with a extension of 68 months the controls are in place while the body considered permit and controls. I know there are a number of individuals from the community in the chamber today and want to thank erica [inaudible] and so many other people from the community who have come to support this and again, colleagues these are pretty modest controls and i think the fact that the mayor and my office agree on Something Like this it has the support of people across the board to send the message that we need to act and we need to do so today so i ask respectfully for your support. Thank you supervisor campos. Supervisor wiener. Thank you madam president. I want to just thank and acknowledge the entire coalition, the community that is working on the cia venta quat row movement and all of the positive things happening in terms of the Community Organizing we see in the mission. Iin terms of this piece of legislation as i artic yltded in committee and why i voted against it is i am in complete agreement of having over the counter permits to merge commercial spaces on 24th street isnt a acceptable state of affair squz think a ban goes too far and would like to see conditional use requirement here. We have quite a few neighborhood commercial district restriction on mergers and space above a certain Square Footage but typically you have conditional use to allow merger when appropriate because we know there is always going to be exceptional situations where it makes sense for the xhrjs district to allow that merger to occur and this prohibition will not allow for any exceptions no matter what the circumstances. Im class glad there is a longer term process around special use and hope that goes well, but in terms of this particular [inaudible] with respect of supervisor campos and appreciate his work with the community on this issue i will be dissenting today thank you sfr visor wiener.

Lookingthere he is. There is our man that we are honoring. As he slowly makes his way to the the front of the chamber. Will you give a round of applause to john st. Croix. John st. Croix is a person i have come to know and admire in my time working not only on thboard of supervisors but also in my time in the Mayors Office on staff. I have found him to be professional, thoughtful, caring and very quick to get an answer when you have a question. Today is a interesting day because i have a proxluimation before me that will acknowledge mr. St. Croix years of service to the city and county of San Francisco. Now, as i reviewed the proclamation there is information i didnt know of and sure many of you didnt know. I will share a Little Information about mr. St. Croix. Under 10 years of leadership of San Francisco Ethics Commission increased the staff of the department from 8 to 16 and budget of 8 hundred thousand to 4. 5 Million Dollars and that wasnt wasteful spending. In addition to [inaudible] intelligent and professional staff, john saints croy served under 16 different members of the San Francisco Ethics Commission and plire to the service to San Francisco, he spent nearly 20 years of the staff member in United States senate. He served as chief of staff at new York City Council and city director in the United States house of representatives. I think we may have been underutilizing you. John st. Croix had a seconds career teaching essential studies, glx Political Science and plaus aef to high school and College Students at San Francisco state university. It is important to know this is not only a gentlemen but it is a scholar. He graduated from the university of massachusetts, obtained a master degree from harvard and served for 3 years as a cochair of [inaudible] kennedy schools bay area alum nigh association. On a personal note you should know this is a man that has a heart of gogold. In addition to the years of public sunchs he also volunteered for 7 years at the larken street youth foundation. He is also a ordained deacon in the presbyterian church. This is something i didnt know. And this is probably his most greatest accomplishment, he is a single dad who adopted his son timothy from foster care. Ladies and gentlemen, the San Francisco board of superizvisors extend and proclaims july 28, 2015 as john st. Croix day in the city and county of San Francisco in acknowledge to years of dedicated service as the director of the San Francisco Ethics Commission.

There is a lot of really in some ways the heart of the structure of our political system in San Francisco and we in San Francisco are very passionate about politics in all the forms so i know there are times when the commission is sort of at the center of that storm but it exists because of the compassion we have in San Francisco for Good Government and smart policy and the love of the city.

I just wanted to do a quick summary of the ballot measure we are introducing for the ballot and thank my cosponsor supervisor avalos compose and mar. Directs the city to prioritize the production of Affordable Housing and Homeless Housing development on public land that does not serve city function. As i often talk about im committed to insure we continue to do more so affordal and middle Income Housing and ichieve in the goal of 33 percent Affordable Housing and 50 percent including middle class housing mandated by proposition k last nrfb. The ballot measure adds aorttool to address the cities wereening housing crisis. The Surplus Property ordinance was written in 2002 and amended in 20 o5. This clarifys the cryteria and process where we deem property surplus underutilized or Opportunity Zone and therefore able to yoirf more sites we can build affordable and middle Income Housing. I want to recognize malia cohen for working closely with our office on a series of amendments that would help to clarify how this work and recognize the Mayors Office of housing, in particular ken rich, mike martin, nicky wheaten for providing feedback on how to make this a clear process for everyone. We know that one of the ways we can help produce Affordable Housing is do it on land that we own. Land is the single large ss line item in any development in the city anded sheboo as creative at possible not just looking at land where we have zero city interest and looking at land where we underutileize lands or have a main use and can build on top of it. Colleagues i ask for your support. Thank you. Thank you supervisor kim. Colleagues can we take this item same house same call. Without objection the motion suproved unanimously. Madam clerk can we call items 74 and 75 together . Item 74 was recommended as aminded with a new title, it is a ordinance amending the planning code [inaudible] also known as secondary or in law units within the boundaries of district 8 and require the Planning Department to monitor the use of adu as short term rental amending the administrationive code to correct references [inaudible] item 75 was amended with a new title as well, it is a ordinance amending the planning code to allow construction of developing units known as secondary or in law unit within the boundaries of district 3 and requiring the Planning Department to monitor the use of short term rental administrating the code [inaudible] making other appropriate findings. Supervisor wiener thank you madam president. Cault colleagues before us today is legislation for district 8 and supervisor christensen will discus district 3. This is the third piece of legislation i authred and you considered and thank you for passing the other 2 unanimously to allow for had addition of new in law units. The first is was fr the castro neighborhood and the second was for buildings under going seismic reto fit and this will extend the castro legislation to district 8. We know we rin a housing crisis and need housing of all varieties and all income ranges and allowing in law unit or dwelling units built into existing structures, not creating new height or bulk and throughout a neighborhood is a very very efficient way of creating new housing. The buildings already exist, the utilities are already there, it is just a very very good way of adding new housing in the city. We know in law units are the most affordable type of non subsidized housing. In addition under the legislation if the build sg aurmd rent controlled the new unit is rent control. We can create new ronet control and this legislation allows for that. The legislation has gotten broad support from a number of different Neighborhood Association in district 8 with respect to the original castro legislation and now with regard to this expansion and i ask for your support. We do have a minor amendment. There was apparently when the legislation was prepared there was reorganization and so there was a inadvertent omission. Ill hand it over to mr. Gibner to explain that. It is easy piece of clean up that will not require a continuance thank you supervisor wiener. Supervisoroh. City attorney john gibner thank you. In the drafting provision was accidently deleted that provided that in accessry dwelling units under the Seismic Retrofit Program the unit must be within the existing building envelope. I believe supervisor wieners recommended amendments would add to the district 8 ordinance a new section 207c 4 b that would providesorry, c 5 b, that provides accessry dwelling unit is constructed within the existing building envelope or structure as it existed 3 years prior to the application for Building Permit and renumbering that follows. You dont need to amend the district 3 ordinance along the same lines because if they both pass it makes that amendment to the code thank you and colleagues one of the corner stones of the various accessry dwelling units is the units are in the existing building envelope in every piece of legislation including the seismic legislation but because of a over site in the legislation it was removed with respect to seismic legislation so we will reinsert it here so that is inmotion i make supervisor wiener made a motion, is there a second . 2nd by supervisor farrell. Can we take the amendment without objection . Without objection the amendment passes. Supervisor christensen. So i have a question for mr. Gibner. So, mr. Gibner, what is in our summary includes some of the amendments that were placed on a duplicateed file and sent to the Planning Commission. My understanding is based on actions that were taken monday those in the duplicated file but not the file we are voting on today . That is correct. There arethry different sets of amendments sent to the Planning Commission and one prohibits subdivision in the dwelling units so that the unit could be separately sold or financed from the existing building. One prohibiting dwelling units in building where sthr a ellis act eviction in the last 10 year jz the other prohibited shoret term rentals. All those amendments are considered in the Planning Commission in the next 90 days and come back. I want to thank supervisor wiener for picking this up. The adu is a topic that has come up with many years. Im delighted to join supervisor wiener in trying to get our city to take a step in that direction. Im supervisor of a district that struggles with how to do its part to help house all the people in the city. We also have a High Percentage of seniors looking to remain in the neighborhood but find it difficult to manage the stairs and hills so we are always looking for ways we can better accommodate those in the district are limited mobility. There is a lot of things to like about the adus. The fact they are eke logical and economical. The fact housing can be dispersed across the district rather in one place. The fact a lot of the units are likely to be more accessiblebeing supervisor of a district where nairkd character is important t is great to know we can add housing without changing the exterior configuration of build squgz the opportunities to add rent controlled housing in 2015 is exciting so im delighted to offer this for your support and hope that you will help district 8 and 3 move on in the housing quest and we will find other district in the city following suit thank you sfr supervisor christensen. Supervisor kim ill support 73 and 74 but i wanted to speak about the 3 amendments City Attorney john gibner outlined because i introduced them. The first is prohibition of accessry dwelling units in building where there is a ellis act eviction in the previous 10 years and this will be going the Planning Commission as mr. Gibner mentioned. I also propose 2 other amendments i want to briefly explain. One is actually aligning these 2 accessry dwelling units ledge slailgz to the one passed by then president david shoe prohibiting subdivision. This just insures that any rentalthe new rental units which are here to actually add to the rental Housing Stock and will be under rent control are restricted to convert to unit of ownership for individual sale. The amendment that i introduced was a replicate of what was in daveuds shoes legislation. The third amendment is to prohibit short term rental in accessry dwelling units which should be primarily for primary residence and i also did have some questions on the ability of the Planning Department to be able to enforce short term rental in accessry dwelling units. I bow supervisor wiener mention thered are ways to separate the addresses to insure that the primary home owner or tenant in a main unit couldnt use that address student to rent out full time a dwelling unit and hope we can continue to have that discussion as it moves through Planning Commission. I just have a fear that Property Owners will build a adu rks turn it into a full time spr and wont fulfill the need of which the legislation is in10 tendsed to impact which is ease some of the housing crisis by easily adding more units on to the market without adding height in most neighborhoods which i definite support. So, im look for the conversation with the Planning Commission and the 3 amendments coming back. I know there continues to be concern and i think this is something that i dont understand as much but continue to hear from the neighborhoods about the exception to 311 and 312 notification requirement frz increasing the height of the building to add adu. I know it isnt a big increase but some neighborhood groups said they would like notification and hopefully that is a conversation we can have. I will support the items before us today and look forward to the conversation on dwelling units. Thank you supervisor kim. Supervisor yee. I appreciate the authors willingness to look at how we are gohow we increase rental spots. Just a question i thought i would ask at this point because i dont know if it is a question for City Attorney gibner or city planning and im glad we are using accessry or adu because a lot of times we use in laws as ifi guess im stuck being hire in the 50 and 60 were one thing i now it seems in law is anything built illegally until we make it legal. Most of the in laws i think about are in basements somewhere. Does this legislation allow for building adus in other floors . Im a little confused with this. Errhine star, manager of legislative affairs to Planning Department. The ordinance limits to unoccupied floor areas. In theory it could be added to a attic but that is economly infeasible. Most of these will probably be added to garages or Storage Spaces on the ground floor that are not occupied by a existing dwelling unit. Okay. And then are there rules or city rules around parking when we add units or does this not matter . Adus are exempt from parking and if you add one unit to a existing building, a normal unit you dont have to add parking as well. Okay, thank you very much. I just wanted clarification. I guess for all when we move forward in the future when we do these types of legislation we should probably not use in laws thank you supervisor yee. Supervisor christensen. Ill just reply. I know in my district with large apartment building, 20, 30, 40 building with boiler rooms or Storage Space these will not be what you think of in laws so i think we are aiming more at the larger Housing Stock. I understand from mr. Gibner we have a tiny typo in the legislation that requires a minor adjustment so if you could explain where that is. Just for clarity is there a typo in both 74 and 75 . Okay, that you can. Deputy City Attorney. This is page 7 line 6. Reference to section 20 d 4 and it should be 207 d 4 supervisor christensen you move to amend. Is there a second .

Alan daveson Senior Housing inspection. Previously transmitted to you is report of delinquent charges dating june 30, 2015. The department ha2 inhouse hearing to discuss outstanding fees. The department appreciates your support in approving the delinquent charges for a useful tool for regaining fee frz the department.

Thank you, so are there question or comments from member thofz board . Seeing none lets open this up to Public Comment. Commenters for item 59 and 60 have up to 2 minutes so please come forward. Good afternoon. Im here because i am being punished for looking for help. I have a neighbor who hasnt been able to cooperate with us. I try to do anything that is required. I have my [inaudible] and have anything, but until my neighbor is able to get his plants i cannot go forward. I am being charged so much money because of him and i came to the sate to try to look for help and didnt get it. I feel like im being punished for looking for help, so right here i come because i received the letter i im supposed to pay a lot of money, which i dont have and i dont know what will happen. If i had the money will i get help and resolve the problems, what will happen if my neighbor doesnt want to cooperate . I want to Say Something too. We go to the Building Department and it seems like we get no help. They are not organized, they senld you to one site and aortsite and we get stuck on these things. We are willing to do our part, but it seems like the Building Department, i really dont understand. No help at all. Thank you this is just Public Comment but there will be a opportunity when Public Comment is over. Mr. Daveson will step outside from the department and be able to meet with anybody who has a issue and try to resolve it so there will be a opportunity for your questions or concerns to be answered and now this is just a time to present Public Comment. Some of the things that probably [inaudible] the first person that gets the information, he should know what is going on. They should give us information and say if you submit this this is what will happen so it is for the public to decide if they want to do it because they just fill the application and then you submit it and then the supervisor come and you ask question squz they say this is paperwork and blah blah blah and then you try to do what they ask you to do. I think there has to be more organization from that department to really inform the public how things work and what is going to happen so we dont have to waste money and our time and because it cost money to us and we dont have the money and we are trying to work things out but we dont get any help. Thank you very much. Next speaker please good afternoon everybody. My name is alisa roquea and this is the first time coming here. I belong to district 10 and i try to call my supervisor to let her know im having problem with the building inspector. They want to put a lien on my property and dont understand. Look at all this, this is paperwork of things they ask me to do, but it is the most horrible experience to get the supervisor [inaudible] they tell you to get back by 4. You are back by 4 and they went home. You call the supervisor and dont return no calls. It is a nightmare. They asked me for a variance. I paid for the person to do the variance on it. They ask me for plans and i have a architect do the plan, then they want a [inaudible] you have just put the cover on it. You dont need people that will live there. Then, i went there, they [inaudible] i paid 960 dollars for a permit i dont even know. Now they say i havent complied with thewhat did they say . The punishment they put on it. So, i just dont know what to do or where to go. They want to talk to the architect and he passed away last november so unless they go in the grave they wont beep able to talk to him. I left messages to the building inspector who is there. He checks his messages. Thank you mam. There is a opportunity to talk to staff after this hearing. Next speaker, please. My name is raleigh [inaudible] i was going to Say Something. I had it all planned but [inaudible] let me regroup. Do you need more time and we can take the next speaker . No im okay. It is just a idea that came up with mr. Camposs office. Im a lot like her, im rather poor. I think it is a great idea and a historical inspector going in first instead of going in and rebuilding everything t. Is big issue in San Francisco as we speak, but here is what i came up with, a historical certification committee, a separate committee that does this in San Francisco. They go in first before anybody else to see if the building is cool, if it is safe, dont tough it. If it has cool stuff then make it in the architecture if it can work. Here is the thing at the other meeting which would have worked, it is different levels. It is just a committee im coming up with and a idea and ill call it the historic certification committee. That is about it. I have 42 seconds left can she use the rest of my time . No, im sorry. Thank you very much, next speaker, please my name is terri [inaudible] im the owner of [inaudible] 26 avenue. Today i like to Say Something of the case. I dont get notice for the result. This is the first time i get a notice and that is why im here. The issue on this case is [inaudible] because [inaudible] it is in the market [inaudible] to do the job is not easy, that is why i am taking care on the april 25 and has been done for the [inaudible] so, now all of a sudden, not only for the penalty but also for the [inaudible] put together. However, i dont have any receipt or notice before. I repeat again, this is the first time i received and that is why i come here. Building Inspection Department now has been [inaudible] from 1 percent to 100 percent. What does it mean . Before the only one year issue, but now it is 100, it increased. [inaudible] i dont even see how [inaudible] complaint they put in 49 item in there. So, i believe the supervisors should look at that to see what is going on for this happening. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. There will be staff after the meeting to answer your question and help with your concerns. On these violations that you have going on, this is supposed to be [inaudible] how satan likes to work. I think that we can be more considerate on our inspection and how we do different ways. Im trying to [inaudible] that you mentioned earlier and ill try to work on that so we can have a better San Francisco and not charge like, you know [inaudible] get along with prices and [inaudible] nothing ever got back to the [inaudible] he told me before i left here, lets change it back to [inaudible] high prices and make everybody go mad over money. This doesnt have anything to do with [inaudible] thank you very much, maam. Next speaker, please. [singing] you fix a building where the rain gents in and stops your vine from wandering. You fill in the building cracks that ran through the door, and when your mind goes wandering where the money will go on all the dough, i dont know. Thank you, next speaker please. My first time to speak before the board of supervisors and i my name is francisco [inaudible] and im coowner of one majestic with my wife, maria who could not come here. She is at work. The main reason im here is to ask consideration from the Board Members that we are being charged some 20 2 thousand dollars of non completion of the work being asked of us since last year. I want to read a copy of the letter we wrote. In the interest of time and important priorities of the mayor and board, the owners of above subject property, number 1, majestic avenue, we are compelled to write our semp explanatory lelter in response to said numerous vilailgzs all most all of which are being perpetrated from well orstraighted and planned personal complaints by the city officer who is a neighbor from the other side of cane avenue, which is the next block. With whom we share 25 feet of the rear fence. The rear street neighbor which whom we share 25 on cane avenue for the past 15 wreers is calling rather anommississippily a number of Department Offices of the city as documented such as the fire department, the department of health, the department of public works and thank you sir, your time is up at this time. There will be a opportunity to talk to someone about your issue. Are there any other members of the public who would like to speak at this time . Good afternoon supervisors. My name is judy bishop is this isnt my first appearance in regards with the city and planning, but there has been some leans on the property at 4801 third street, which i know we have been abiding by paying the abandoned building fee, but we were in litigation since 2009 and the litigation is over, however, we were in conference with the city in a project in which that thisthese assessments and leanssome of the leans they are applying to us, should have been identified in the settlement when the city hit the Building Back in 2009, then again in 2013. There was supposed to have been no leans but it seems like we have paying our abandoned fee however, we are being charged additional charges for administrative fees and other fees that they tack on in terms of supervisor fees and things like that, so my comment was that i show a record where we have been paying since 2011, we paid 1496 dollars to prevent any directors penalties. This was the first time we were going court after 2009 on this property. Then again, on 2012 we paid 765. Again on 2014 we paid 675, then we got another notice and then we submitted 1038 dollars. We are trying to figure what year wree be assessed for. Thank you very much. There will be a opportunity to talk to staff. Any other commenters . From time to time, i have been in the audience watching. This city, this city and county of San Francisco named after saint francesis of asissy has no compassion. You have [inaudible] talking to the building inspection. You have expediteers and give them a little money, they can deliver anything on a platter. I was watching as this lady was explaining to you that people are stressing her out. No compassion. This city has no compassion. If the Developers Come here, you lick them all over the place. No compassion. Now, since we are booming and we have billions of dollars, why dont we set aside some money so that probono attorneys can address the concerns of our constituents . Why not . Why dont we have a small group in the building inspection and wish [inaudible] was here to join me because i go way back when. Why dont we do that . Im not saying you guys work with the city and make over 100 thousand dollars or maybe less, but sure you make 100 thousands with benefits, why dont you show compassion. Every time i come here the t is disgusting, despicable. When will we learn to have some compassion . Thank you very much. Thank you, are there member thofz public who would like to speak . Hello.

I have spent all most 15 thousand dollars in the court system to finally have the judge agree that i can sue, not make a judgment, agreed i can see the plaintiff and his attorney for perjury and malice on this particular case.

Thank you very much, next speaker please. Good afternoon supervisors. Lawrence lee recollect the administrative director at spur and we ralocated in the Community Benefit district and just wanted to show strong support because of their support for non Profit Institutions like ours as well as art institutions. The support they give us include streetscape programs they implement, those large and small. They improve public spaces with public art plans, greening programs, bike racks, alley design jz more all supporting the visitors that come to our institutions. Yerba bena night which is organized by ybcbd celebrates with dance arts and musing and perform squns attended by 10 thousand people last year and draws attention to all the cultural attractions in the neighborhood. It is one of my favorite events. Also provides grants to neighborhoods groups and non profits like us and they support efforts such as family programs, public art projects and cultural exhibits. This type of support also just engages our neighbors and people in the neighborhood and it is just really important to have that neighborhood cohesion and celebration. Also just for us one of the most direct impacts is simply every time one of our visitors comes to visit spur they see a clean safe and inviting neighborhood and the [inaudible] return and support other similar institutions. So, the renewal is vital for our visitors as well and i please ask you to support renewal. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker please. Good evening. Rea bobt and operate 715 harrison street which [inaudible] we have been there for 28 years and we are one of the sort of small store fronts that really benefit tremendously from the ybcbd. There is so many different elements of the organization that is helpful to our Small Business as you are well aware, the neighborhood when we got there 28 years ago is completely different from what it is now. We have mu scony and visitor squz att park. We have so many people and so many residence and what the cbd does is serves as vehicle to bring so many different dynamics of the Community Together and we benefit from that. We benefit from the 10 b program they provide police serves for community. The neighborhood guides who are also trained in dealing directly with homelessness issues, so it is great orgzism we are happy with cathy and the staff and everything taking place in regards to what it has done. The graffiti removal, it goes on and on, it is a great project, so we strongly recommend that you renew it. It does a Great Service to the community and we want to say thank you thank you next speaker please. [singing]. Yerba brena here we come, right in the big city sun. Open up that, expand that golden gate and please dont be late. Yerba benny, please fix it up. Thank you next speaker please. Sally johnson and i like to [inaudible] new ways of doing things [inaudible] making things better. I did already put housing building and i havent done that much because i have been doingdealing with physical issues and it is Getting Better and they said that i was a fairly maintained being alive. [inaudible] these are one of the benefits that we are advised by and support the newer establishes to rebuild buildings. This is where it comes about for our cheaper place of living. We have really been [inaudible] because the things that we havent been able to explain. I never did get anything in [inaudible] and mental ward for 2 years and i never get a chance to really [inaudible] because the health issue and just started it for 2 months that you thank you very much my name is peter heart and Resident Home owner at 300 third street and chairman of cbd streets and public space committee. From the committee stand point we are dedicated to emproving the public realm in the neighborhood and thirng you heard some of the projects we have done. We have oreb 30 projects in streetscape improvement plan. A good example is [inaudible] where we have been able to create a new Public Open Space and have a graut laut of Great Projects in the future. From a resident standpoint i want to tell if you can imagine what it might be like living in a neighborhood where there isnt a Community Benefits district and visit friends of mine and they ask about it and i tell them what we do and say this is great because we dont have a organization like that we can reach out to if we have safety issues, if we have trash or graffiti issues. They feel like they have to reach a remote city bureaucracy to deal with the issue or may pick up the phone and call you and your office, so having the Community Benefits district in the neighborhood to provide these services is a very extremely responsive. People know who to call and take care of the problem right away. So, i just urge you to keep this Great Service Going Forward and to support the renewal. Thank you. Thank you next speaker please.

I also want to say i feel we have done a good job about the public outreach. Making a effort to reach out to all asspects of the neighborhood. We held more 70 public meet squgz tons of one on one meet wgz Property Ownersism we heard a lot of things from the neighborhood. We are excited about expanding services and will double down on the cleaning because you can never be clean enough. Well add more money to streetscape impruchbment projects and we are excited working with sfmta to develop some pulestren safety and Traffic Enforcement initiative frz the neighborhood because like it or not wree a on and off ramp to the free way. This wouldnt have happened without the support of the board of direct rbz. I want to thank them and all the supporters that came out and want to recognize and thachck supervisor kim and her staff for their incredible and staunch storet e support and willingness to listen and enter into dialogue with us as we work to improve the neighborhood thank you very mump. Any other members of the public who would like to speak in support . I want to state history. The area we are talking about was taken over by redevelopment where a lot of gentrification took place. It is true this Community Benefits district will do this and that, but one of the things they need to do is outreach to the black community and to the filipinos so that they have a opportunity to bring back what was lost. I hope that this district will pay a significant amount of attention to south park where at one time that entire area was owned by blacks. Having said that, we know what redevelopment is doing all over the city and some of us who are asleep we should awaken up and see what has happened to the fillmore. We know like what is happening in district 10 and who is fast asleep in that cockpit. This Community Benefit district depends on leadership. Good leaders know the way, show the way and go the way and it seems from the comments that the people are making here, they are making good comments about the present, but they need to reach out to the past so that you can do it. It is just opposite Saint Patricks church. You have a beautiful garden. I have written many of my poems 1520 years ago sitting in that garden. Who maintains that garden, kudos to them and thank you very much. Your time is up. Are there any hoar or the memberoffs the public who would like to speak in support of forming the cbd . Seeing none well move to those who would like to speak in oppositionism any members of the public who would like to speak in opposition of the cbd . Seeing none if there are no other speakers we would like to closeyou want to speak in opposition . Okay. Good afternoon board of supervisors. My name is soomial woo. I represent a owner of several properties in the Community Benefits district. I would urge the board to obtain or move to continue the vote on this because there are serious issues in terms of both the formation of the district as well as how different Property Owners were or are included in the current and future benefits district. In addition to that, there is really no way to either contest the assessments or to figure out why certain Property Owners are now paying 3 to 400 percent more for their assessments when the actual budget itself is less than 100 percent more. This quasi Government Agency lacks oversight, transparency as well as accountability and until those answers are resolved, it makes sense to ubstain from a vote on this issue. Thank you. Next speaker please. Hello good afternoon my name is richard bird and manage paurpts on clar street. I have a few quick questions and in our particular our yerba bena cbd went from 160 dollars to 722 dollars, so roughly 4 times the original amount so that like your sunday paper goes from 3 to 12 dollars or muni from 2. 25 to 9 dollars. Curious what justifies 400 percent increase. Also, ask the increase proportioninate across the board. For instance the Intercontinental Hotel pay 25 thousand dollars. Would they go up to 100 thousand dollars, is it is a proportioninate thing or subjected to Different Properties and use. Lastly, i was curious where might i find where the votes were tallied from the original ballots on the measure . I was looking and unable to find it so curious if there is anywhere i can see the previously tallied ballots thank you.

There is a huge enlargement of the residential pop ylshz that is happening more now. The cbd is critical not just a business standpoint but for resident. Most of the new developments are very vertical and what is developing is a bunch of disconducted islands. There needs to be some organization that brings everyone today as a neighborhood and community and handles the spaces between them. In terms of security, i live said in the area for over 20 year jz the amount of street crime not just property crime, but crime involving weapons has gone up in the past 3 yearsism there was a armed autorobbery in our garage last week. That was someone that appeared to come in right off the street so we need this from a quality of life and safety standpoint and everybody i have spoke toon views this as a valuable benefit to being in the district and urge you to support it.

Seeing none well move to those members of the public who would like to speak in opposition to the cbd. Any members of the public who would like to speak in opposition to the cbd my name is auto duffy and like to speak in opposition to it. Seems to me that the cbds generallythere is limitations on the amount of taxes that the government, any government can collect. It goes back to jaurfbs gan. I think it is coming on 40 years now and now with the cbd it allows a marginal amount more resources to go into a neighborhood but it is in violation of what the people and the big corpications of america have decided should be the limits of gurfbergence and attempts to drive us back to a third world country. 40 years now even though the Democratic Party is dahmsinant in california that remains the case so that tells you the limitation of conventional politics. Forgive me if none of you understand this, but i live in a neighborhood where a sro hotel room days like today it gets stuchy and hot and excuse me for excessively wordy but it is nice in this air conditioned environment. Thank you very much. Any other members of the public who would like to speak in opposition . It isnt a opposition but have a question, why havent they paid their back taxes . Im a american and every time i buy a soda and pay sales tax. Corporations are great but they never pay sales tax. Every time they buy a billion Dollar Corporation there is a billion in sales tax. Every time someone buys something they dont pay sales tax. Every time i buy smck i pay sales tax. I love corporations i rich people and everything but cant understand if i bought a dollars worth of something or combine stuff, if i bought another business for a dollar i had to pay sales tax. Corporations do want to be considered a single man, that is what they said in something recently, pay your sales tax. That is all i have to say. My name is ronaldue gene davey lee and im here to say pay your taxes or the irs should collect the back taxes any other members of the public who would like to speak in opposition of the cbd . Seeing none Public Comment is closed. If there is no motion to continue this hearing we will now close this hearing. At this time we will tabulate the ballot and continue business of the board.

I understand there was a study done and so forth, but it is the board of supervisors and their Budget Committee that have to hold line on that sort of thing. The departments have been very helpful and so supervisors andlets move forward. Thank you thank you very much nerks speaker my name is Scott Wilkinson and [inaudible] would like to offer our support. All those in the building who voted and believe it is 27 or 28 voted 100 in favor of the gbd.

Anyway, the appellate look forward to hear the information presented today so without furter ado thank you thank you supervisor cohen. At this time weope toon the appellates to describe the grounds for their appeal. You have up to 10 minutes. The appellates are not here. Lets make it my name is david inlow [inaudible] is having eye surgery. I will reiterate her appeal. She feels like the project cast too much shadow on her property. The bulking doesnt seem right that that project is in a block that is characterized by single or 25 foot wide lots with Single Family residence, victorians and old wood frame buildings. It appears suitable for the down hill type of development, but it is the first project on this particular block and doesnt seem to suit the character of that block.

The Planning Commission considered the project scale, density and rear year dimension and sthr were sig cnts public input no appeal was filed. In addition there was no appeal of the sequa determination either. Following the approval the Planning Department recommended approval of the parcel map june, 4, 2015. The appellate filed a peal 2 days later. The appellate could have addressed her concerns related to access of sun light at the time the Planning Commission considered approval of the project rather than part of the subdivision that creates parcel that can be sold [inaudible] at the time the Planning Commission considered this project. The Commission Found the scale of the project compat wbl the neighborhood. The project volume is minimized at the northern side of the site. The large court and light well provide sun light along the northern edge. At the north end along texas street the forth floor is set away from the praurnt line reduce thg shadow ozthen appellates property. The project sponsor work would the community thrut the process reducing the height and epreliminating roof deck. Some loss of light is to be expected as a more Dense Development at the titecyte the loss of light isnt out of character for smaller jaisance properties. The project is compat wbl 2 to 3 stories buildings in the neighborhood and compareable size the buildsings across texas and mississippi street. The project undergone a public process and received a thorough review by the Planning Commission.

Good afternoon madam president squl supervisors. My name is Jessie Stuart and develop manager for [inaudible] thank you for the opportunity to speak today. I would tykelike to explain the [inaudible] dog patch and potrero hill [inaudible] since early 2013 we worked with the local Neighborhood Talk toog the residence and munchant neighbors. [inaudible] additionally we walked the area to lel let people know about the development. We had Numerous Community and one on one meetings resulting in neighborhood support including 14 letters of support and over 80 signature of support. We presented our projects to the dog patch Neighborhood Association and the potrero booster and receiveredue maninous support. We made many change tooz design including revised the buildings facade to add visual dep tooth create a more town house design. We added 6 ground floor walk in units on mississippi and 22 street. We eliminate thd building at the corn orf mississippi and 22 street to reduce building height. We made revision to court yard lay out. We added retail space on corner of mississippi and 22 to provide a neighborhood aminty and activate the street. The project will greatly enhance the area and pulestren experience along the street front squj help [inaudible] based on our extensive out reach and Community Support i request you deny the appeal and up hold dpws determination. Thank you for your time with that we will move to open it up to Public Comment for those members of the public who are in support of the project. You have up to 2 minutes. Any member thofz public who would like to speak in support of the project . Please come forward. My name flaub nob a neighbor of the project. Im only making a comment that you change their sign that says 91 luxury apartments in dog patch. It is not dog patch t is potrero hill so i appreciate if they change their sign. Other than that i have no other comment thank you very much. Any other members of the public woo would like to speak in support of the project at this time . Seeing none Public Comment is closed. The appellate will have up to 3 minutes for a rebuttal. Sir, would you like to make a rebuttal . Thanks again just to reiterate my name is david [inaudible] i just want to point out that the transition from the property from 645 to 635 texas street and mississippi street in our minds isnt step down. I think they built near full height of allowance all most 40 feet. Right now on texas street there is a 2 story drop between the top of the property at 645 texas street to the top of 635 texas street so that is quite a bulk head for texas street residence to see. Mississippi street there is not a building on the adjacent lot now. It is 25 foot lot and all is a drive way on it. There is trees on that lot. So, i think the transition there is over 30 feet. There may be all most 40 feet right there. We dont feel there is a transition, a step down from 635 to 645 texas street. The other thing is the plans on page 118, they dont show windows facing north and i think the elevations show windows soi dont know if that is a oversight or if the planners looked at that very carefully but we at least want to see windows facing the north. Thanksgivings thank you very much. Colleagues seeing no other members of the public who are available to speak, we will now close Public Comment and this hearing has been held and is now closed. Item 68 and 69 and 70 are before us. Supervisor cohen. Thank you very much. Thank you for participating in this appeal. Im sympathetic about some of the issues that are raised, these are issues that should have been done in the 2 year planning project. I spent over a year working with the neighbors on texas street as well as project sponsor and Planning Department to refine the project. In addition to Community Meetings the project sponsor i too convened sechb several meetings to discuss neighborhood concerns and review design changes and so really it is because of the work we did with the neighbors this project was greatly improved and supported at the Planning Commission and it was largely due to the involvement of the neighbors that resulted in a better design that increased the usability and desirable of the open space and better interaction between glound floor units and the streets. Retail space, removal of the roof deck and better streement on building facade, on site below market rate units and lower massing to better align with the adjacent cando buildings. I find it hard to believe the appellate didnt know the planning work was going on for this site or didnt find it necessary to participate in the process. I also believe the design of the current project with the various light wells ajaisance to the appellates property will low for sunshine on her site. Because of the extensive work put into the project is a compliment to the neighborhood and the nature of the issue the appellate raised are not spinge to the tentative map i like to make a motion tew prove item 68 and table item 69 and 70. Supervisor cohen made a motion to approve 68 and table 69 and 70. Second by supervisor campos. Colleagues can we take this without objection . Without objection the motion passes unanimously. Okay, madam clerk lets go back to our agend awhile we continue to wait for the Election Results of some of our hearings. Then we should move to roll call for introduction of new business madam president supervisor campos. Supervisor christensen. Thank you. I have a amendment to propose to the special use district in north beach. The helths and vibrancy of the sate xhrjs corridors is important to neighborhoods around shf but especially district 3 where residence gathered. The legislation we passed earlier today will allow a neighbor business to open a second location in a prime space that is vacant. It has tameen 2 years with those permissions in place with build out to follow. The process was lengthened by [inaudible] more than a decade later the restrictions are having opposite effects stifling the health of businesses and leave thg neighborhoods with 2 dozen vacen store fronts. In the hearing on mamas of the Planning Commission we heard the north beach special use guide lines for restrictive. My staff said we would look into adjustments that reflect existing condition and the experience gained over the last several years. In the existing sud limited restaurants that donot serve alcohol are prohibited from ever applying for a alcohol license. Caf e and small restaurants licensed before the sud went into effect can sell beer and wine andinose not licensed earlier are prohibited from applying. The neighborhoods is experiencing competition fwraum the mission. The central subway construction and up coming repaving app columbus avenue and Small Businesses are struggling. My office begun outreach with adjacent residential and xhrjs groups and will step up that effort during board break to further adjust the amendment as needed and insure broad input on the matter. This proposal is nolt designed to increase the number of bars or convert neighborhood serving businesses to restaurants or bars but to bolster Small Business. Each proposed conversion requires a conditional use permit approval by abc and subject to neighborhood review. This amendment is designed to allow some of our long term businesses a economic leg up to help survive and what has been for many challenging economic conditions. The rest i submit thank you supervisor christensen. Supervisor cohen. We had a technical difficulty here. Today i introduce a ordinance that establishes prevailing wage and local hiring requirements for any development on property that is sold or leased by the city for Housing Development. As the city agreessively develops and sell public land for Housing Developments, we need to make sure we are providing the same wage and labor lawuse the same wage and labor law that applies for construction as we perform on our property is critical we prioritize the property for Affordable Housing to generate units in San Francisco but also need to make sherlockal residence working on these buildsings working to build the Housing Units are paid a prevailing wage and have a local apprenticeship opportunities. This ordinance is Pretty Simple and it will do 3 things. It will require any property sold or leased by the city and county of San Francisco for mixed use Housing Development to pay prevailing wage, to comply with local hiring ordinance and offer apprenticeship opportunities. These are the same requirements we aurmd demand for silty contract rbs under chapter 6 and makes no sense to remove requirements once we sell or lease the properties. Madam clerk the rest i submit thank you for supervisor cohen. Supervisor farrell. Supervisor kim thank you. I just wanted to recognize many of our community xhups working with [inaudible] for over a year non [inaudible] korean [inaudible] behind bars after charged with ubjuckted our daughter when she flood the u.

She called the police for help once when her expartner [inaudible] each time she called nothing was done to protect her. The police [inaudible] remove himself from the space at the time. In the criminal Justice System the da stated he didnt believe this is a case of Domestic Violence just a case of one abuse chb incident. With the immigration system because she shaDomestic Violence survivor she should have been informed about resources for Domestic Violence for survivors and opportunities [inaudible] immigration officials did none of these things. Insteads they pushed to incriminate her. Tomorrow is the one Year Anniversary of superation from her 6 year old daughter. [inaudible] asian women shelter and asian law caucus as well as a coalition of Community Groups supporting her will hold a day of action here at city hall and city haulm plaza.

You can help by attended 10 amp to noon at city hall tomorrow and tweeting your support with hash tag, stands with non we and not one more. We know her case isnt the firsto the last of immigrant Domestic Violence surviving failed.

At the federal Level Congress established the National Housing trust fund as a dedicated fund to proitd revenue to build preserve and offer housing for people with low income including people that are homeless. It will [inaudible] the state of [inaudible] develop the state allocation plan for the National Housing trust funds and california allocation plan is required to give priority to projects based on 6 criteria one is the extents a project will use non federal dollars.

Condleances to rose kelly and thank you for letting us close the meeting in her honor thank you supervisor mar. Supervisor wiener. Supervisor yee. Supervisor avalos i just have one item for the imperative agenda that ill briefly talk about it. It is a resolution that marks the 70th year since the balming of her oges mu and nagasaki. I spent a weekend reading bare foot [inaudible] it is graphic novel from the eyes of a kid surviving her roges mu. The run up to the bomb being dropped in her roges mu and what his family went through in termoffs suffering and deprivation and hostile government in japan to had bomb being dropped and seeing his world taken away from him kw the years sponet dealing with radiation and family members and friends dropping one by one coming to rideration sickness. From the eyes of a young kid who was incense in experience of causing the war or suffering of a human being. To me it was incredible to read and the message from the book is we should not forget what happened, the suffering that went on. I honor my kids and their future and want to do a resolution recognizing that we are at 70 yoors from the balming of hero sheema and nagasaki. The kaets august 6, 1945 and august 9, 1945. These are at the end of the war. I want to the make sure this resolution also is not providing justification for the bomb nor condemning the bomb happened but recognizing the great toll on people not just the immediate victim squz those that suffered radiation about all humanity. We are living in a ijage [inaudible] i think it is important tee reflect on that especially as we look that 70 anniversary of these bombings. We haveeeing a time where this may be a Anniversary Event where the fewest number of people are survibe{probably the 80 anniversary will be the smallest numbers as well. Also want to mention that we have added other markings this year, the holocaust in europe i think it is important to mention as well along side this 70th year of the bombings that changed the wurmd dramatically. Just offering in my resolve claus nothing more than marking daying august 6 and 9 as a reflection of salinity. Days we ecan reflect how Nuclear Weapons can beadolished and never used again. President breed thank you madam clerk. Today colleagues i attended a pres conference for preserving Affordable Housing at frdric Douglas Hanes located in the Western Addition and it was actually built incluberation with the community under the Redevelopment Agency with Third Baptist Church. It has a powerful history. The late Mary Helen Rogers lived in this property and was very ininstrumental in its construction. It has 104 units, 80 percent are section 8 tenants and todays press conference was to stop the sale of this Affordable Housing complex by the non profit responsible for the care of this complex. This would completely jeopardize all these units and last thursday i was first along with the residence informed of the sale and it was disturbing and timely since i was inl new york last week with the San Francisco Mayors Office of housing learning and exploring what new york is doing to aggress vly builds new afordable housing yurnts and also preserving their existing Affordable Housing stock. Some may be familiar with the blauzio housing goal to provide a ambishish 200 thousand units of Affordable Housing but what is less whidely known is that number include 60 percent of existing Housing Units. Preservation is at the forfront of this house plang, preserving Affordable Housing is key and 40 percent of the plan is for new production. Like new york, San Francisco must prioritize existing afoblt units like fredric Douglas Hanesism plike new york, San Francisco acknowledges many units are developed using financing that require affordability but they are only affordable for a limit time. [inaudible] concern to me especially because many of those units are in my dist rblth and the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency which put together the deal to make it possible no longer exists. Right now in my district the Fillmore Center has 223 affordable units whos rent restrictions wim legally expire in december 2017 if we do nothing. 223 house holds, is about 500 people who can see their rent sky raup rocket. In addition to the Fillmore Center, there are developments in other districts that have in fact the same fate. We are work wg the Mayors Office of housing to look at a variety of ways to keep tenants safe and protected in these units. In new york, i learned about tax incentives, Grant Programs density bonuses, using a erft to preserve and build Affordable Housing. In San Francisco, we need to acknowledge that we dont have a comprehensive Housing Preservation plan and working together with the mayor and Mayors Office of housing and other agencies to sauchbl the issue, we can do it as well as supervisor cohen. To solve the problem it will cost money and require creativity. Im willing to be front and center in this fight to protect our existing Affordable Housing stock and working on legislation coming this fall in order to address some of these issues. We were fortunate today with the Fredric Hanes property Third Baptist Church worked with the community and our former City Attorney lieu ease reny to file a stay in order to stop the sale and there is a lot of things happening behind the scenes with the residence in order to make sure we dont luce the 104 units. Colleagues i want to bring this to your attention and make sure we all Pay Attention to our existing affordable when she graduated [inaudible] she married [inaudible] a Tokyo University graduate who pass td away in a automobile accident.

Sometimes i dont realize it. Good afternoon president breed and supervisors. My name is tony [inaudible] i am a native of San Francisco and life time residents. Having made a living in construction work my whole life and dmou a representative of my union, im a part of inconstruction indust rea in San Francisco for over 35 years. I benefited from Construction Industry in the city, i bought a home here and raised my family here and now with local hire ordinance in place many of the local journeyman and apprentices are able to work in the city they live in and continue to be a viable part of the community. The reason i am here is share concerns about modular homes and buildings which are being built in factories in fresno and sacramento and sent to San Francisco. 90 percent of the work on the modular is done in the factory and shipped to the destination. The work force in San Francisco doesnt see any of the work here. My thought why not build them here. It is talked about and where our local Construction Workforce with state approved Apprenticeship Program lead to a life time career. Like i said i started to see in San Francisco and see more coming in the future. I ask that you go on line to look up [inaudible] and see how much work the San Francisco construction work force could gain from that work. Hopefully when the trade unions approach you about modular homes you will have a better understanding of work the local residence will see if they were built in San Francisco. Im talking about public work. Thank you for your time thank you next speaker please. Good eerfbening madam president and other supervisors. My name is mell [inaudible] i have been asked to be here by a number of organizations and residence of senior resident sro. I dont know because i have been in medical care a lotilately and dont know if you passed the budget for the next year or not and hope if you have pass td you kept it in there and if youvent you will keep the money for more case managers at sros as the mayor proposed. Number 2, the Market Street place which is being developed, we met with the developers. This is what we found out, 1, they do not intend to employ locals to do their construction work. They have a Community Kitchen they are going to build but they do not intend to train homeless or unemployed people. 3, they are below market rate is only 12 percent. It really should be 30 percent. Even though it is below market rate, none of the cost you have to pay for those apartments are affordable by seniors on ssa, ssi, sdi or the working family group. Again we are excluded. Why doesnt the Environmental Impact study include a social impact statement . They never really do. Last thing for them, they are going out to mom and pop stores but there is no indication that that is going it be the major emphasis instead of chairchg stores which employ people from out of the city. Next item, ssi and cola [inaudible] that you thank you sir your time is up. Next speaker please hello my name is [inaudible] i work in disease pr vention. It is important. A hospital bed in the u. S. Cost 4300 dollars a night. In europe it averages more like 700 dollars and usually the patient pays none of that cost. According to aflac insurance company, 66 percent of americans dont have sufficient savings to pay for a serious medical emergency. I continue to get harassment. I discussed before people are able to get into my room at night and also how hypodermic needles are left in my path as a way it threaten me and as least twice i developed colds as a result. Once when i gathered signatures on a ballot measure, there was a substantial bonus offered and suddenly developed laryngitis which i never had before in my life and despite being barely able to speak i still made bonus. July 1 isi dont know if you can see this. The 50 syringes were left in the entrance way of my building when i got home at night, the police were investigating this. Supervisor kim helped many time with these matters. Supervisor campos still refuses to see me. Thank you next speaker please. Supervisors, tom gill girt birty, enjoy your vacation. Bad air in here, in chambers. This is our first summer of spare the air. Come into chamber and hope we got a meter reading. One time i said my little sister has a problem with 4 plus 3. I lost walter, this was a record today for me hearing him saying whether it was 7 our 8 times. Housing, 5 points. New mayor first thing ellis act evictions gone, we banned them. Unjust no fault evictions, banned. Rent control, we freeze. Market rate apartments, we address their rents if they are there longer than 6 years by half. They go back to the the third year or 10 if they are there for 10 years. Long term residence starting at 6 years because there are very few of them. Then we create a market rate city rent control for the entire city. Renters the 4 point. The renters need to be at the table when a property is sold. I said before 5 years equals 3 percent of selling price, that is smaller units. I came up with 20 units building everybody there for 10 years get 6 percent of a 10 Million Dollar price tag adds up to 12 Million Dollars. You can take 10 years and make it theorem number 2 in jeometry, every year in the building which is 10 years for everybody and the apartments are all the same and get 10 percent of what is 500 thousand dollars per apartment. That turns out to be 50 thousand dollars each renter and that goes thank you very much. Next speaker please. Yes i just want to ask do black lives matter because in San Francisco we lost 21 percent of our black male population. I notice we have no black male supervisors. We lost 24 percent of the lesbian population and have now out lesbian supervisors. You dont get represented in the city. The board and pleevious incarnation under david chew, the crocodile skunk that used to address the board president , that board and this board exists on White Privilege. White supremacy. We have 3 whites that are a part of that. We have 2 blacks who are a part of that cuball. We have one asian who is part of that cuball. That is all we need to perpetuate White Privilege and White Supremancy in San Francisco because it always turns out to be a 6, 5 vote. In richmond black population fell 24 percent so blacks get displaced through richmond, richmond forces blacks out so blackerize displaced to salono and cont rucasta which there is no public transportation. Do black lives matter in this chamber . No. San francisco for everyone one white arrested, 7 blacks are arrested. Do black lives matter in this chamber . No. I just want to make a point that the police are not our super heroes and black men are not villains. This is not a comic book. This is real life, peoples lives get damage, their education viewed up, their opportunities for employment and jobs and futures get messed up because thais board cares about White Privilege. Thank you next speaker please. Is it against the rules to say dispurptage things about a previous member of the board . I agree with the last speaker i would like tastee the board moving in a different direction. There was a guy who passed away in oakland a couple days ago. He was a artist and did sound over work on the radio and his name was dawn joyce and his [inaudible] take statements and change the context and the textture of them to bring in a little different meaning to it. To me there is lot of people that are in the community and culture and society that are a lot of people that are involved in that same type of work artisticly. I think of this as Performance Art and this guy was the essence of what is subversive is all about which not necessarily in a ideological way but bring in other meaning to things that are going on.
