Year about the libraries intention to get privacy threatening radio frequency identification technology, rifd. Well, february 1st came, and the Library Commission approved funding 3. 5 million for an implementation. Unfortunately, it represents, as far as i can tell, the city librarian final poison pill present to our city. I ask you to do what you did 13 years ago and 12 years ago when the Library Commission likewise forwarded this in their budget, and that was you rejected the funding for rfid. And i hope that you will do that again this year. Some interesting notes at the Library Commission. When more than one person complained about rfids toxicity to patron privacy, the staff gave two reasons why they asserted. There is no threat to the public. They said, first of all, the librarys databases are unhackable. Unhackable. Knowing what we know about Library Databases and other databases, that is a pretty farfetched claim. In addition, it doesnt take hacking into the database to raise and to make privacy threats. And the other reason was that they said it has only a 30inch range. Well, that may be true for certain commercial applications, but not for all. And even show, theres no need to get that close. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is john fitch. Sometimes our eyes are too wide open. If the legal link in the chain had been followed that was already set place by the Founding Fathers as to how the city would be governed in the event of the sudden death of a mayor, would ms. Breed be an active mary, why wasnt she giving a choice in maintaining and being the active mayor or remaining being the board president. You didnt let her decide for herself. She was the only one allowed to make that decision, whether she wanted to do one or the other. Members of the board did that for her. When you did that, you broke the link in the legal chain that was already established by our Founding Fathers which could turn into expo facto because the interim mayor was a legal link in the chain. The interim mayor was no part of being qualified. What qualifications did the interim mayor possess to put him in position where he could be considered to be interim mayor . Why was he so important . For whatever reason, the reason was they wanted their own people who they could control. Thank you very much. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. My name is denny leonard. I wanted to say that i have had a great experience with the Italian American community. Im from an indian tribe in oregon. A gentleman named joe travelo in italy. We did a debate on italian television. We had never met and became lifelong friends. He and his wife and my wife and i had many meals together. In that time, in 1992, the San Francisco foundation decided to change the parade from columbus day to Italian American. Now we have a new program, and i think that all of us together have spent so much time with many italianamerican people at the cafe and around the north beach area, that it is important for us to understand that we are now in 1992 to 2018, a much more connected people. We should celebrate that among ourselves. I would like to say that norman yee, when he stated that its time for us to recognize each other and to ms. Cohen to take the courage to bring that to us. Let us make that possible, what we have not had for many years, a celebration for our cultures. Maybe we need a cultural minister or a cultural cabinet here in San Francisco to celebrate all of us together. So i hope we can work toward that end. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. I would like to ask supervisor cohen to come up here and open this up, please, to any particular page. Sir, your time is ticking. Okay. I wont read from it. Thats a province do. At 6 32 a. M. During the blue moon that we havent had since president andrew jackson, the president called michael savage. He called him at his home on his cell phone. Yesterday i heard that hes actually thinking about putting his hat in the ring against feinstein. I pray this will take place. Im telling you what. I really want to see that debate. That was a very rare occurrence. Another rare occurrence but that could have been planned, a psychological warfare against the democrats, you know, which would be a wise move. Anyway, but you cant plan a total Solar Eclipse from coast to coast. When did that happen . 1776. When jesus was asked about the end of the world, many times theres a double application to prophecies, but im surprised were still here. For the last 13 days, im surprised, but something bigger than the blue moon, something bigger than the total coasttocoast eclipse last year, is what did happen 8,013 days ago. 6,013 days from 9 11 and 3,000 days from what im convinced is the actual beginning of the last trump. Theres not eight trumpets. Theres seven. The culmination of the third row is the seven vials. Hes coming back soon. Its going to be judgment day. It really is. If you dont know jesus christ, theres no hope. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is george wooding. Im the president of the coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods. Im here to talk about sb827 from state senator scott weiner. He introduced several new amendments, so my testimony will not be the testimony i was going to originally present. I just want to mention, first off, you should consider the residential infrastructure which his legislation will cause and how the city is so unprepared for it. Secondarily, i want to talk about the destruction of the Single Family homes in the residential neighborhoods. And now in closing, i would like to read our resolved resolution for 827. Resolve the coalition for San Franciscoen neighborhoods, cssn, Land Use Committee urges all members of this organization and anybody else agreeing with this resolution to communicate to the state legislature for the district in which he she resides to oppose sb827. Be further resolved, the California State Senate assembly to oppose sba27. Finally resolved that the board of supervisors resolution of february 13th, 2018, which may or may not change now. Thank you very much. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is paul weber. Im a north beach resident and a delegate to the coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods. Im here to urge you to adopt a pendi pending resolution to oppose sb27. We received an avalanche of amendments to the bill, which we have not had an opportunity to look at. On a quick reading, however, it appears that the most critical ones were not changed. I will comment on those. And that is the bill, as amended, will replace height limits based on proximity to something called transit rich corridors. It would set minimum heights for projects in these areas, 85, 55, 45 feet depending on street width and that would go even higher. In addition, it eliminates many of the local controls on density, ratios and parking, as well as certain design standards. We urge you to oppose 827 for a number of reasons. Theres no need for the bill, first of all, the state density bonus law can achieve the same results and require onsite construction of Affordable Housing, which 827 does not have any requirement for any new Affordable Housing. Under 827, applying local inclusi inclusion area or affordable rules. That would mean those who need the transportation the most would be ineligible to be considered for the housing. Finally, the definition is such that it could be managed by local agencies, simply by changing the frequency of bus intervals, which is too center diptous and subject to abuse and the winds of change in the political climate. Thank you very much. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker. Good afternoon. Lisa framer, president liberty hill neighborhood association. Like the previous speaker, im here to speak on 827. We have not had a chance to analyze all the new amendments. I remain concerned about them. Eliminating seqa is a serious flaw, and there are real environmental impacts. The basic assumption that high density Transit Oriented Development reduces Greenhouse Gas emissions has become unchallenged dogma, but closer scrutiny shows flawed data. Sb827 assumes that since the entire city is close to Public Transit, high density nearby will reduce car use, but on average, car results in Lower Per Capita per mile Greenhouse Gas emissions than mass transit. Public transit is assumed to operate at full ridership capacity, which it doesnt. And the Greenhouse Gas emissions it generates are not factored in. Lets face it. San franciscos Public Transit could use some improvement. Packing more people into taller, larger buildings is not so environmentally friendly when you look at the metrics of human health. Incidents are increased of widespread diseases and those people are exposed to thousands of toxins. Theres Serious Mental Health impacts too. High density housing near transit is not a very Good Environmental solution to our housing problem. People relate to the world on a human scale. We need to see the sky and the sun and the trees and the flowers. Kids need to feel and see and relate to their Natural World so they can protect it. Were going to look at the amendments but i remain concerned thank you for your comments. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is bruce bowen. Im from delores heights. Im here to ask you to join the growing number of cities who realize the existing capacity of 143,000 additional units, we need to carefully plan smart growth. That goes hand in hand with transportation and water. If changes to existing zoning either quantity or location, then the city should use its own planning tools to make changes and not be subject to the clumsy constraints of sb27. Supervisors, weve had a money bomb go off in San Francisco thats rendered the city uninhabitable. We shouldnt let this bomb of a bill to do even more damage. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Katherine harra, the sierra club. The Sierra Club Opposes sb827. We believe its a heavy handed approach to development that will lead to less transit being offered and more pollution among other unintended consequences. Sba27 fuels opposition so future Transit Development. Remember, this is a statewide bill. Because it marries Transit Development to a loss of local zoning control, this approach could increase opposition to fully needed transit investments in various parts of california. It can and will promote displacement. Some areas near transit stops consist of disadvantaged communities that already face extreme pressure from gentrification. This could result in communities losing protections that prevent economic pressures from driving people out of their homes. This could result in replacing Single Family homes with luxury units not available to people with moderate or low incomes, increase of cost of land can increase rents and displacement. Displacement forces residents into areas further from their jobs and city centers, increasing commute times and Greenhouse Gas emissions. Sb27 combined with sb35 to include Public Health and Environmental Protections. This would increase the amount of unmitigated pollution in these communities while stifling public input. Developers should prevent and mitigate their pollution. This potential avoid answer of seqa is unacceptable. We support the need for Affordable Housing in california. We support higher density. We support infield development, but sba27 has too many unintended consequences. It will increase pollution, discourage transit, and potentially displace disadvantaged residents. And we oppose it. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon supervisors. Im here to express our collective and organized opposition so senator weiners latest bill sba27. This is an extential threat to life in San Francisco, if not california. A lot of people have said many things about the density in San Francisco and how having uncontrolled growth and up zoning as its been proposed by the bill is going to be changing the quality and livability of this city. Every Mayoral Forum ive been to, theres talk about the muni infrastructure thats currently affecting our residents. Supervisors, right now, were at the capacity for our infrastructure. We have issues with our public transport system, and here we have a very much flawed bill that is going to be introducing wild, wild west when it comes to building. This is not what San Francisco needs. We are all the way for Affordable Housing. Were all the way for the Government Spending money for Affordable Housing, but were not free for all in taking the government control. After all, what is the point of having a city planning department. Also, today we found out that mr. Weiner has introduced a number of amendments. One of them, interestingly enough is protection of local demolition laws. Thats why were urging you to pass reform of demolition laws, demolition controls, and better legislation thats going to make sure that illegal demolitions do not take place in this city. Right now we are facing an epidemic of illegal demolitions, things that people pass as remodel, but theyre, in fact, demolitions. This bill is going to actually make things worse thank you for your comments. Thank you. And next speaker, please. Hello. My name is mary mcnamara. I live in the outer sunset. Im here to address my concerns about sb827. The demolition of Single Family neighborhoods has been a longstated goal. I think youre all aware of that. Im very concerned in the outer sun set with the stress on our services, we have a none shortage of Police Officers, and it took me an hour and 20 minutes to get here today. Also, many of you are probably not aware that there are thousands of residents in the sunset, longtime renters living in family homes, many that are rented at below market rates. The 20 on my block alone. I believe the bill does not address demolition of Single Family homes and the displacement. Once the rezone take place, the door appears to be wide open. Its been stated to me personally outright that once the rezone take place, theyre waiting in the wings to File Lawsuits under the housing accountability act and force the city of San Francisco to approve demolition of Single Family homes and build according to the maximum allowed under the new zoning. More fundamentally, i am questioning the rationale and the necessity of this bill in the first place. Our pipeline has 60,000 units, 5,875 currently under construction. 17,000 approved entitled but not built. 30,000 approved in master plans. 16,000 adus. 31,000 soft side. 7,200 applications currently pending. 15,575 units awaiting rezoning. Adds up to 143,000 units. Why do we need sb827 . Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. My name is james park. Im a member of the sunset community. My neighbors and i are very concerned about sb827 and 28. It is hugely impacktive and corrosive to the sunsets livability to those of us who enjoy our community and its character. These bills allow the destruction of the Single Family homes we live in. It enables Real Estate Interest to profit and the canonization of our neighborhood. It allows and forces replacement of our homes through litigious effor efforts. Their rationalale is simple. Its increased cost and pricing. Exchanging high rises for homes is not the solution. I support housing but not the destruction of our neighborhood. I support Affordable Housing, but not what sb27 proposes. I elected katie tang to preserve this for thousands of us in sunset. Sb27 will destroy it. It will become a feeding frenzy of destruction and construction, plundering our communities because prices will only increase. Ree believe the science, not the politics. We know the results. Well lose your views, backyard enjoyment, parking, it will strain our infrastructure at its limits already. Manhattan is not the Housing Solution for california. We embrace change. We embrace housing. We embrace Affordable Housing and local control to ensure positive change in a livable sunset and a livable california. Sb27 and 28 is not the answer. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. My name is paula banatole. Im the director of the Italian Museum in ft. Mesa. First of all, i want to compliment supervisor stephanie who made a perfect presentation on what the italianamericans mean to San Francisco. I also am here to protest the idea of eliminating italian herit
