Hello, im tommy. Im with the Human Rights Committee and part of the plaza 16 coalition i am in support of a moratorium on luxury housing in the mission im not in support of those interim controls as being proposed today they fall far short of the moratorium that the Mission Community overwhelmingly supports if youre talking about working with the community and hearing the community hear that the Mission Community overwhelmingly supports the moratorium that supervisor campos introduced at the board and that now hopefully will be on the ballot in november 8, 00 people from the mission came to the board an june 2nd in support of that moratorium y what you video before you is a water down version of the moratorium not addressing the issues that the neighborhood has been raising for years now it will not halt the approval of two of the worse projects the neighborhood is facing that will displace people and raise rents and bring up the Property Values everything a neighbor didnt want theyre in the mission and 16th street and on bryant 2 thousand bryant people talk about Affordable Housing spring out of who knows where because you Start Building luxury housing number one in the mission luxury the socalled affordable units are not affordable to the people in the neighborhood therefore not Affordable Housing the people cant afford them weve heard that over and over from people in the mission ive heard about the disrupting the building the middleincome to buy housing were talking about leveling the Playing Field to low income people in the mission have a chance of staking i staying in the mission thats what were talking about were talking about level the Playing Field the mission can only survive with the moratorium we need to stop the luxury housing and with the Nonprofit Developers in the mission to acquire those lots to leveling the Playing Field so the nonprofits can acquire those were asking you not pass this proposal but give us a true moratorium and help us save the mission thank you. Next speaker, please and hello good afternoon im from the mission sro collaborative and borden in this city in the tenderloin i dont think anyone can deny the observance theres a real crisis happening in the Mission District this proposal, however explicit coordinate with the real while we feel encouraged the Planning Department has begun to recognize the need for action to address the Affordable Housing we dont believe theyll be effective in addressing the crisis it is an attempt of please be advised the ringing of and use of cell phones, indication rather than a solution to the crisis on the ground the crisis which brought to those halls this building a thousand people to rally and 8 hundred to give comment on what we want and demand and headed to the ballet a full moratorium on Luxury Development in the entire Mission District we will not be tricked into investing our faith into the power apparatus that exists here the city will find no home in the mission we refuse to accept this facade around the manifestation of our daundz that didnt include the desire directed or what weve been opposed to from the start from the bryant street and the monster in the mission on the mission what we want and what well get one way or another is a full moratorium. Hi good afternoon. Im Diane Martinez im here representing the sro collaborative a project with the services were also a member of the plaza 16 coalition so as was said earlier it is quite obvious that there does need to be a temporary halt an luxury housing in the mission, however those interim controls are water down version of the moratorium that the Mission Community so gridlock needs are honestly this is a insult to the 8 hundred plus people that came to city hall demanding a moratorium think luxury housing and insulting to the roughly thousand people that came to city hall in may declaring a state of emergency we need nothing but Affordable Housing those interns dont coffer this they exclude the proposed projects on mission and 2 thousand bryant that are huge facts and circumstances in the gentrification of the Mission District how will those interim controls protect the neighborhood from gentrification if those two huge developments the monster in the mission and the beast on bryant are considered in the pipeline just this morning Small Business came in our officer who lives in an sro hotel and told me that the management at his hotel tell him he needs to leave because theyll be doing construction observing construction to make it nicer place to live so that they can raise the rent and invite a totally new population to live there and push out the existing tenants this happens all the time when we have a huge Luxury Development such as 1979 mission that is proposed and proposed on 2000 bryant those big investment just increase the rates of gentrification in the area those interim controls with a baby step towards what we need and towards what we will turn to the voters this november so were asking that you instead of supporting those water down deillustrated interim controls take did Hydrogen Community of people seriously and to get some a better, more to your memory something that can really, really make a Significant Impact on the people in the mission. Thanks. My name is jackie and im with code pink living for peace which is also a member of the plaza 16 coalition i want to talk about this proposed resolution it is not a node to the community that has been fighting to save Affordable Housing and stop the construction of luxury housing this proposed resolution is a mass rad for the real controls that need to be implemented in the mission from the commission really prepared to suspend action on applications for Building Permits is the Commission Prepared to allow the Planning Department to conduct Environmental Review of proposed sites and maintain compliance with ceqa . Or will developments be exempt from ceqa controls . Will this process be corrupted by developers on sites in the mission who are filing who will file negative declarations and appeals or will the Planning Department overrule those and allow the eir Environmental Reviews reports all the avenue we at mraidz 16 want to see constructed requires the conditional use authorization which will add another layer of bureaucratic obstacles and finally this resolution that is being proposed is for a mere 6 months from the commissioners were genuine in their concern for restoring the unique character the mission why only 6 months of controls controls. Next speaker. Ill call more names calling names . Good afternoon.
