Latino, overwhelmingly of color. Those people are being displaced. That is recognized by ceqa. We saw this on the fillmore redevelopment when the city was trying to urban renewal and displaced a population. These are serious impacts. There is mitigation available in terms of housing and low and moderate funds. Whether these residents are city of san city san franciscans or not. Im from chicago. I live now in west portal. People come in. Every new wave of immigrants is rejected by the old. Thats ...

Citys law cannot violate the higher state law. Regardless, this city is taking this legal action which will have a Significant Impact. Although, the city is also proposing to change the location of many of these stops. That is not just information collection, thats moving the desk chairs around. The courts have construed ceqa exemptions very narrowly which in the cast ak lake got leveled in an earthquake and they said we are going to do a ceqa exemption and build higher and the courts said you c...

That displacement had occurred and that further review need to occur . Not on this. It is set forth in the ceqa regulation appendix g subsection 12. The 710 freeway project is probably best known case on displacement where there is a direct displacement where the the neighborhood was bulldozed. This was different. I think we have enough expert testimony to establish an argument to establish that it requires further review. My next question was on the classic exemption and you said that this is f...

People we are going to have to do something about this. We see ceqa impede transit investment and transit advances whether its a Shuttle Program or all man or Public Transportation project.

The San Francisco Police Department or muni zone enforcement officers. Are you saying the pilot says its okay for the shuttles to violate that section of the code . Yes. The primary legal action occurred in the Pilot Program is to amend the citys transportation code. The citys transportation code makes it ill egal for a private bus stop. T...

They came here as a result of the shuttles, that there is some sort of outside invading force taking over our city and that they just arent one of us. Now, we know and anyone who knows people who ride these shuttles knows that quite a few of them have lived here for a very long time. Many of them used to drive and now take the shuttles. Many of them consider San Francisco home and are passionate about this city and in fact in the survey that you just cited more than twothirds of them said that e...

Being her hes been looking this issue for a number of most since december 18th findings of last year. He anticipated this hearing but certainly he would want to take part in the vote. Ill make the motion to back up that motion and hopefully, well have all of us here to weigh if in on the issue. Theres discussion about the appellants going to the court of appeals to decide this it makes sense were all part of the decision colleagues on the motion to continue any discussion .

San francisco and make those quick connections and get to their homes down in silicone valley. Does that raise a ceqa concern around displacement to cal train and muni and say this is a ceqa problem because you are going to cause these Technology Workers to want to live in San Francisco and we are making it too easy for them to get to work.
