My head is swimming actually. I would like to say that what we are talking about here most of my colleagues would agree clean, Affordable Housing are human rights. In the city of San Francisco we have resources to see to it that that is the fact. With that said, first i want to talk a moment about bedbugs. I have a friend in an sro on jones he went through quite an ordeal to get management to respond; he call the department of Public Health. There were people in the building who were undocumente...

Getting good information, that the enforcement is good. We want to make sure that is true for every person with a disability. In looking at the enforcement, the idea came out early on and im sorry, i will go on too long, having a separate enforcement time if the problem affects a senior or person with disability.
