Rahaim im craig weber the author of the letter i sent to the Commission Members and the director of planning regarding our opposition to this project we support low income Senior Housing to the 1296 shot well streets the we oppose a 9 Story Building i make that point very, very clear i listed out items in that letter weve not heard discussed by mr. Rahaim regarding the recent board of supervisors action to accept the appeal of quatro that opposed the lennar project next door to this one question is why why are you going to go forward with that project when it effective the board of supervisors indicated that the eastern neighborhood eir was in effect obsolete and not relative to the development on shot well street not two standards for two different projects very important that the neighbors on shot well the inner Mission Neighbors i represent and some of whom were earlier here had to leave give an answer to that question we shouldnt go forward with that for Environmental Issues that are very critical to the quality of life, of the people that are will be directly impacted that live within a block or two of this development it is too tall, no parking, high density on a residential street you, you need to consider that, please thank you for your time. Thank you, mr. Weber. Next speaker, please. Im tommy im with the Human Rights Committee were total in support of this project and i want to is personally this is an issue that effects me personally i turned 65 in july im a senior and can tell you very, very honestly that if i lost my regular calendar apartment ill have to leave San Francisco as a queer person im not safe in this country this is the safest place for the queers to be we need to look for the elderly youve been heard the Horror Stories we here those seniors sleeping in their cars because no housing we hear about seniors living in decreed that is effecting their health theyre afraid we hear stories about seniors that are applying and applying and applying for housing and never getting anything that is not acceptable we shouldnt be treating our seniors had 24 way this project is long overdue this is what should be happening in the City Building 100 percent and ill repeat that 100 percent Affordable Housing for people in this city especially for our seniors so, yes we are 100 percent behind this project we want more of this to happen were especially happy about the fact that a lot of years is at 20 ami and more homeless more, more more, more 100 percent Affordable Housing thank you thank you, mr. Mecca. Hi, im one of the neighborhoods near the project on 20th street i want to address what mr. Weber said about the appeal i was appealing the luxury condo on 1515 south van ness with lennar the board of supervisors has called for a plan regarding the gentrification and whether that has any effects on the latino cultural district i dont think that 100 percent Affordable Housing will be cause gentrification it is a completely apples and oranges situation the woman sitting next to me said too much Affordable Housing built around here the mission has enough thats not the case myself a landlord and resources being a senior scares the hell out of me and getting close but high motherinlaw any partners mother just lost her home in baton rouge and start looking for housing for her in the city we couldnt find anything that myself as a landlord with resources could afford to support my cherished partners mother so shes in baton rouge 2000 a month and gets 3 meals in independent living thank god they have housing 7 to 9 thousand here so i see the old guy that is on the street in front of my how did with a shopping cart full of stuff and sleeps in the rain covered by a blue tamper we have to walk the walk as a society protect our elderly and provide housing this is one of the best projects coming before you in a long, long long time please support it.
