City and i am grateful to speak to you briefly. I am speaking to you as a doctor and we were working with residents around issues they identified and the number two issue number one was crime. Number two was access to Healthy Foods. They couldnt buy Healthy Foods in the local stores. They were very upset about this. We were able to do little things. We brought in minimarkets from the farmers markets once in a while but we couldnt do much. We got stores to stop selling dixie cups of alcohol at 9 ...

In the language of your bill supervisor mar that part of the redesign of the store if at all possible take that into consideration and i dont know if that has been talked about but i think its extremely important because theyre part of our population, part of the people in San Francisco, and i think they deserve that type of recognition that they should be able to go into a small store, Corner Store Market and be able to get into some milk and bread, whatever without asking for someones help.

And eat a healthy breakfast. People who are successful think about their health a lot. They get out there and think about bein...

Cups of alcohol at 9 00 oclock in the morning for 25cents but we couldnt get them to sell Healthy Foods and this new proposition is a game changeer and as you mentioned supervisor mar there is evidence based. There is evidence in philadelphia and more importantly the evidence in bay view Hunters Point and i have seen the various groups working there with the city in that neighborhood. I know it can happen in the tenderloin and that in turn will set a precedent for the city and the state and the ...
