From what comes out of this first, if you will, pilot phase so the reporting requirements will tell us a lot. And well be very informative to the next steps going forward. Thats feedback loop is something we want to give you detailed input on. But whats come out from this long process is now before you and the full board is a good compromise. Thanks very much. Thank you, mr. Cohen. Good afternoon, supervisors. Congratulations, supervisor mar, for your brilliant reelection. And thank you, supervisor wiener, for bringing this up. As tim cohen said a little while ag i am concerned also. I do work a lot with the construction industry. Im concerned if we only allow 375 units to be built, it aint gonna happen because people bankers might say, you know what, this is great, but whats going to happen after this . [speaker not understood]. Id like to say go forward but i think we really should think about expanding it. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any additional

Into a bedroom. Thats called a micro unit situation where you dont even have your own private bath and bedroom. This will provide people with their own living space and their own private kitchen and bathroom. I also completely agree with the point that was made that we need more Family Housing. We absolutely do. And we should be supporting that. But almost 40 of San Francisco ans live alone as i mentioned at the beginning. And we need to be focusing on that segment of the population as well. The two are not mutually exclusive. So, colleagues, this is a good compromise piece of legislation. Although i agree with mr. Cohen and with the Planning Commission that ideally obviously i introduced this with no cap on it and that would be my preference. But politics and legislation being the process that it is, we

Today, successfully used in other cities specifically for young beginning workers, please remove any reference to seniors because, in fact, seniors will not be in this housing. And to prehe tend or pimp the housing of seniors and the disabled in saying that these 220 square feet is appropriate for a person in a wheelchair with a walker, or with a cane and helpful person is actually adequate needs to be removed in any reference from this ordinance or from this proposal from the Planning Department. Seniors will be living there, not only people that are beginning workers and lowincome. Please don pimp the seniors and disabled and say this housing is appropriate for them because in fact its not. A very small population that is not that is in Decent Health at present would be able to be here, but not longterm. And before we get to mr. Whitaker, ill call a few more cards. Jim ....

So, there is a need for Affordable Housing for families, students, seniors and everyone. Therefore, thats why we worked diligently with our allies and you supervisors to ensure that we have a cap to really see and analyze that this is a need. And we really appreciate you hearing our concerns and we look forward to working with the planning staff to actually look over those analysis. Thank you again and we hope to that you support this legislation. Thank you. I dont have any other cards. So, if anyone after mr. Cohen is interested in speaking, you can just go ahead and line up. Good afternoon, supervisors. Tim cohen on behalf of the Housing Action coalition. Id like to support the proposed legislation for new housing product efficiency dwelling units with one important exception. We have said repeatedly that edus are a logical necessary response for badly needed new housin ....

Thank sarah short and also gail gilman from Community Housing partnership who wasnt here today who were very, very deeply involved in the negotiations and were really good negotiating partners in trying to work out this compromise. I also want to again thank president chiu who was also very supportive and helpful in helping all of us move to this process. I just had a couple final points.

And unfortunately thats not the reality of 2012 San Francisco. Very few people who are not fortunate enough to have bought or rented a large place a long time ago can afford to do that. Its just not an economic reality in San Francisco and we need to be housing everyone, ....
