Were in the middle of our greatest affordability in San Francisco and the problem with prop b is takes the complexities of the balance and boils it down this is a concern we should be discussing how to build more Affordable Housing but we are talking heights limitsthanasia thats an important discussion but it leaves out the Public Benefits that may come out of the progress one or two Tall Buildings may gives a significant amount of Affordable Housing this proposition could kill 6 hundred Affordable Housing units and 20 millions of housing fees and cause significant problems for the ports so far as developing and fixing the problems with the port lands. Were in the enforcement of the nova valley club and the indemnification and a host of others mr. Valenzuela 10 bring up the perspectives of job how do you feel about that. There are 3 issues that were brought up first, the ballot box planning no, it isnt if the planners dont exceed the height limits no problem only if they do if you look at San Francisco history since 19th street 68 when the bureau ton act theres been 18 other ballot measures effecting the front the ball was effected and the Hunters Point shipyard were talking about port property that is owned by the public. And if you take a look at port property its held in public trust and the housing agreement is a red herring because as a matter of fact, if port property is held in publicly trust you cant build housing there and number 3 if that were done theres nothing in prop b that says you cant have a project being approved so the howards altering argument is truly a red herring and weve seen the kind of housing the port as proposed highrise luxury condo and now theyre saying only building low Income Housing a id like to see it and b thats not going to happen mr. Valenzuela 10 any comments. Yes. The housing is not a red herring, in fact, if you look at what the port is considering and the project in the pipeline if you follow the draft sheets thats inclusionary housing on site the problem is this is getting boiled down to if the voters like it thats great but developers can come to the ballot box with a specific or gentle thought and in the 0 voters sigh yes, no chance for mitigation under sequa or the planning process to hopefully get parts for example, an increase in Affordable Housing in exchange for heights when it the park going to be developed at the front of the process or backdoor back is the Affordable Housing going to be done in the beginning or at the at the end e end so theres quite a few of the challenges were not talking about the of her building or them changing their bulk and height but off the waters edge they use the word welfare because they want people to think that. Last year the decision for the height is washington project should the voters be asked florida the height be waived on this project. Were saying on port property publicly owned property not privately but on public property which for the most part under our state constitution mass been held in the public trust yes, the voters have is a say because unfortunately, we we have fined and im sorry to have to say this is the port and planners are not listening not people 8 washington was clear evidence of that clear evidence where a good project is proposed i have great confidence in the voters for example, at t park was approved by the voters the of her building the Hunters Point shipyard critical waterfront projects. But what worries me about the current trend and ive gotten involved there are too many people out to make our unique San Francisco waterfront look like miami beach and if so, i think this would be a shame isnt it a fact i think it would be a really bad sign for the economy were unique its a our waterfront that makes us unique mr. Valenzuela 10 should the voter be asked about the height. I think once again when we focus on the height we dont get into the discussion of the complexity of the getting the mitigations on a project and i mean folks there could be a Tall Building on this parcel the proponents make it out this is miami beach and its not theres no proposal anywhere in San Francisco that looks like miami beach. There is a Community Process in plays thats you figure out hard to make sure that the cultural your current proposals in place have articulated buildings where we have maybe a few tall slender towers in shorter blocks and integration with Affordable Housing on site. Theyre creating an enormous distraction and pushing things into one or two word to wall and miami beach those are not the projects that anybodys it interested in seeing again, were talking about rental housing and the projects the port needs to have the income to fix the problems they belong to all San Francisco as well as the Sea Level Rise this is not jew just about who the developers are we have a little bit of time left i want to get our final thoughts ms. Reigning. I think yes on b is extraordinarily important 0 so San Francisco doesnt look like miami beach. Who wants to see all along our waterfront those wind tower type buildings you see as you come across the bay bridge and interestingly enough when the voters wanted to take this off the ballot they said they explicit is have to Pay Attention to the height limits they can build whatever they want 10 empire state buildings its critically important that the citizens of San Francisco have a say on what happens on their property. Yes on b applies to public property. Public trust property and the citizens villaraigosa a right to have a say we have in the past why not now. Mr. Valenzuela 10 any final remarks sure once again theres an numerous distraction by focusing on miami beach no one is talking about miami beach and the current process has not produced anything in prop b passes tall and short everything is going to focus on tall because they know that folks are going to be against that we could get short buildings no park and no Affordable Housing. And possibly not solving the problems at the port at this time. So i think i think so that we have a big challenge to our waterfront what p that looks like the public process is open and prop b is a Political Campaign to focus on heights to challenge the developments that could be creating parks and Affordable Housing and bring people to the waterfront and do good for the city.
