Him. Were just one family with a bit of unusual circumstances, the children including previously healthy children shop at ucsf hospital every day with lifethreatening emergencies were time is of the essence. In addition, someone who spent months by my sons bedside concern about the impact of arena noise and traffic on longterm hospital patients and families could have it critically ill child in hospital this thing really horrific experience. Your child is subjected daily to painful procedures their sleep is disrupted by vital checks monitors and alarms. It almost no control over your environment. During those rare times when youre able to leave the hospital for a quick shower or not theres always the possibility you would get the call your child is taken a turn for the worse need to come back there immediately. Now imagine being stuck in arena traffic after you get a call like that. I come from a penn state family have seen percent have a desire to be like about winning team can cause people to turn a blind eye to certain inconvenient truths. I beg you to please take a step back and think long and hard about what can be gained from this project versus what will be lost. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is im a member of the Mission Bay Alliance. I just want to make a few points regarding the project Greenhouse Gas analysis in the eir as our leaders arent parceling up to combat Global Climate change. The 8900 m of application for this project said the project would emit 200,000 tons of Carbon Dioxide over the next 30 years. Thats equivalent of putting 42,500 cars on the road for an entire year. This estimate is not complete as all the Greenhouse Gas emissions from this project at least [inaudible] also assumes the oracle omissions go down by over 76 . To help address Greenhouse Gas emissions, they are going to buy offsets but theres no standards for these offsets and they may be uncertified which could cost as little as one dollar baton and in the project will stay Greenhouse Gas neutral. Unlike other objects and Purchase Office by the state were purchased locally that have other cobenefits here in San Francisco, this project has no requirement. The eir says ignore the faulty analysis in the 8900 application and look instead to the cities Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan in this projects compliance with that. But, according to Supreme Court case from last week, the project must show the relationship between the project level of reduction in compliance with the citys Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan. Since there is no quantitative emissionquantification of this Greenhouse Gas emissions in the first place there is no way it can show this relationship. Thus, the eir analysis needs to be redone to meet minimum standards. There needs to be a credible quantification of the Greenhouse Gas emissions. The showing of the relationship to meeting the Greenhouse Gas plan in the city and thenits unfortunate while others were too vigorously address Climate Change we are not doing so in San Francisco. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Im sorry. Good afternoon. My name is geraldive been in transportation planner and engineer for about 40 years. Im very familiar with San Francisco and with the mta and its practices and policy. I am representing state union today. We support the rejuvenation and improvement of muni and i want to talk about the traffic and parking impacts on that part of San Franciscos pride. You heard a little bit of it earlier today. Theres a think its to 25 events a year. Theres at least 100 of these events allow over 12,000 people to come to the events muni carries about 18 of the trips to San Francisco and we average suburban county its more like 5 on transit and the rest on car. So, the idea that you can move a couple of bus lines and maybe even shift some day in the distant future millions of dollars a train line over next to the arena instead of mitigating is going to mitigate against 12,000 people coming in are more to these events forfive times a week, its fantasy. Its pathetic its not going to happen. The Mitigation Program thats been put out in that eir is false. Its not going to do enough. So, if youre going to bring in a terminal or basketball pavilion that to Something Real to protect the neighborhood. Thank you. Thank you. I think we have the video working. This video is intended for the members of the public to see the facts of the case. Sfgtv. The Warriors Arenaby the citys own estimate anywhere fromspeed video[video] time is of the essence. You cant get through the gridlock. Soon, this potentially lifethreatening situation may be a reality. A new bass coloring the proposed for mission bay. Down the street from at t park and adjacent to Ucsf Medical Center in the heart of the citys fastestgrowing neighborhood. Today, we should phase known for its thriving biotech sector. Before billiondollar industry that is great at 21,000 local jobs. If every, ucsf open a brandnew for hospital conducts with a fullservice pediatric emergency room. The hospital offers lifesaving services that other nearby hospitals do not. Its a neighborhood on the rise. But maybe not for long. Imagine what a friday night would be like when commuters pour in and out of the city get 40,000 fans raced to the giants game at at t park and more than 18,000 people descend into mission date for a warriors game or concert. Gridlock from every direction. Eight armageddon obrien traffic and seven cisco to a screeching halt. Less than a mile from at t park, the Warriors Arena would devastate the landlocked mission date neighborhood. The citys own estimate, anywhere from 900010,000 fans would like to warriors games. We are walled cars go . With only 200 parking spots dedicated to the arena thank you very much. Next speaker, please. This is just a continuation of the video. The patient the conferences could be deadly. Located only 1000 feet from the arena ucsf joins er handles about 11,000 emergency room visits per year. Imagine a parent raising a sick child to the hospital when immigrants driver with a life hanging in the balance. If even is even one like worth the risk . We say no. No to risking even one life. No to even thousands more cars on city roads and highways. No, to turning surrounding communities into parking lots. Join us in opposing the proposed Warriors Arena. Join us in a Brighter Future for San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you very much. Speeds next speaker, please. Hi. My name is rob francis. I live in mission bay. I been there for eight years. Im an 18 year resident of San Francisco. I think the Mission Bay Alliance has been mischaracterized in the media as being millionaire and billionaire who dont want this project. I think that is the furthest from the case. As a resident who lives in the neighborhood and who has to commute every day, i dont see how this can happen. The area around the proposed Warriors Arena is one of the most traffic heavy in the entire city. With cars making their way to the 101, 280, and the bay bridge every day. I havei ride on muni most of the time but at times i drive. Whether im on the embarcadero or taking one of the side streets, i am already stuck in gridlock every day. To add to that, something that ive noticed in the last probably year is that i know cm nuances writing the muni tracks on the embarcadero. I think this is just insane. There is no way that you can add even more people were more cars coming in or out of the city. I stammer the Mission Bay Alliance in opposing this project and hope that you will reject. Thank you. Enqueue very much. Next speaker, please. Are the consummate these letters of opposition for the record to the clerk. Thank you. My name is we which was a common organizer for the Mission Bay Alliance. Theres been a lot of rhetoric from the waterside that theres no Community Support gun the opposition to this arena. I can tell you this cannot be further from the two. From what youve heard today for a lot of people who could not come out today ive spent the last six weeks talking to people i can tell you vast majority of people oppose this project could think the numbers are beginning to reflect that with a pole that was done yesterday out to the media. Less than a majority of people oppose it or in support of this arena. Thats down 10 from the warrior said a few months ago. The opposition is growing. I think its been a very exclusive project which is why more opposition has not come out yet and a lot of ucsf people feel afraid to come out against this project because ucsf without any input cannot against it so a lot of staff have been, out afraid. A lot of neighborhood numbers have not been included in this price. Is been represented move very quickly no time for anybody to read any of the information. So, i cemented over 400 letters of opposition organizing on the streets and over 1800 letters that been sent to the supervisors in opposition to the arena. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good evening everyone. My name is our money just good from the east. I live in richmond. Ive really been a warriors authentic and i do not agree with the terms of them moving to San Francisco because, i believe, ever since the role on the Team Everybody has been looking at them as the Golden Treasure and honestly, the being a richmond i can live in San Francisco. Its not my choice. I can do it financially. I honestly believe that San Francisco is turning into a playground for the rich. So, i just believe that the warriors should not be there. I think that is anarchy as a warrior fans i do wish the best but i dont wish this for them at all. I feel like they should pick a different alternative than mark to build this project is ideal like itll enhance your the Biotech Centers because that whole areas actually progressing through the medical field. Thats all i have to say. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. First of all, i like to say most of you may not know, disabled american veteran. I thought. I was overseas 31 months during the war. To come back to america to find out that black people could not be in the teamsters union, to find out i doubt if one of you supervisors here know that theres not one black person that owns a concession in either one of these parts. This is madness. I dont mind if they build the park on every corner, but i think we have a right to be a participant in all of these businesses, and so far, i would like to see the hands of either one of you supervisors when they for Candlestick Park down, they said black people were participated it aint happening. They tore it down. You dont understand the problems of black people in San Francisco. You think we are a joke. We are not a joke. I fought for this country. I lost a uncle in world war ii. I demand that you all find out how many of these concessions will be allowed for black people in this city. Otherwise, dont build that stadium. I mean, whats so hard to understand about that . Weve got black supervisor. Weve got black counsel people everywhere. But theres something wrong and we are not its because i thought it was my duty to serve this country, to return home and find out merely because i was but i cannot work in San Francisco. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is. Ive lived at alabama street and 17th for more than 30 years. So, naturally, ive seen the area go to lots of changes. Before this proposal, the it influx and the subsequent shoal parking difficulties and one of the earlier speakers brought up ivan i thought was good point the police and fire department, really, are overloaded the amount of service that they are able to provide. I know this firsthand. So, i mostly opposed to the new arena because of the traffic. I drive as little as possible, but im not verbally disabled and i need to drive to pick up things sometimes. But its dangerous. Its hard. Thats all. I am opposed. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. My ms. Allen mcinerney. Im speaking on behalf of parents the child at ucsf. My son benjamin was born may 2020 15th at our home. Our goal is one of the minimalistic news. Have the baby at home and family around and take your the video home nurture and raise him this community and family spirit. Things change first almost immediately after he was born. Several defects associated with medical acronyms. Mysterious the fact [inaudible] a congenital heart disease. November 24 successfully report openheart surgery at the childrens hospital. Less than 24 hours after his birth we were at the emergency situate a life serving surgery required [inaudible]. I love the bay area sports i love my baby more. I love the warriors are making history as we speak. I love the players are inspiring the youth and professional manner that should be associated with professional on players and romans. The bay area desert system. I can imagine scary sinners with having a pro sports arena residing next to any emergency personnel. The other fact of the matter is and you will be used for other things during the offseason while the team is traveling on the road. If one person was to lose her life because a large crowd is gathering or dispersing in a newly proposed arena was simply be shameful. We are fortunate enough to live in a time when we can save us like never before. Give awesome ethical technology. The doctors and surgeons are taking cheap shots and was medical field. Reliving a great time. This of the capability to build great stress. The new home of the worst cannot interfere with the youngest warriors at ucsf. Some of them are battling for their lives. Please find a better home for the Golden State Warriors. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is. My wife and i own a house in the mission. Our sixyearold son was born at ucsf with us severe congenital heart defect. He said to openheart surgeries and numerous other procedures there. They took great care respite we love the hospital and we love San Francisco. Weve invested our lives in the city. We strongly oppose proposal to build the new warriors stadium across the street from the ucsf childrens hospital. Our first concern is that if our son has a medical emergency is the only hospital we can go to in the city that can treat his condition. The traffic in the area is re bad enough. Especially when theres a giants game. We are certain that arena traffic can prevent us from getting our son to the hospital in time to get the care he needs in a medical emergency. Second, we are worried about the impact this arena will have on patients and families and hospital. When our son was born, and had his first openheart surgery five days old, he was in the hospital for more than a month. Many families are there longer. Having a critically ill child in the hospital is already incredibly stressful experience. Asking families to deal with the noise and traffic from an arena on top of Everything Else they are going to is adding insult to injury. Ucsf leadership has been bullied into going along with this plan. In doing so theyve let us down. I hope the board of supervisors will be brave enough to stand up for our families and our city against the bigmoney interest tried to build this arena. Money and entertainment shopper vale at the cost of Public Safety and quality of life. Good afternoon. My name is johnmy principal ative written a report entitled what warriors stadium economics uncertainty and alternatives. Id like to speak a little bit today about the subsidization of warriors activities in the document that supports the comments thread that i would like to submit. First, they to speak to the a plus Million Dollars annually that the city will be spending on transit. Glee services and dpw service and support of arena events. These expenditures represent a subsidy. The counter argument that those expenditures can be covered by the revenues received from the warriors each year, thats not a compelling arguments. I like to use a quotation by supervisor kim to back there. The quote reads from our taxpayers expect we use those funds to pay for Affordable Housing to pay for the services, Mental Health services to be for munich. Not for an event primarily rocketed and promoted a Corporate Institution did this to the president taxpayers footing the bill for San Francisco super bowl l celebration. So, those expenditures despite the fact that covered by revenue represent a subsidy. In my report the bottom line, report, looking at alternative for the land reveals that in an average year, the city will be going between 3. 6 7. 4 million aid. Over 20 of period thats 163 million. But the city will be foregoing by pursuing the Warriors Arena instead of perhaps a biotech alternative. Indeed many inclusion of offset impacts in particular the hotel a
