After the first flood, i realized its going to be a lot of work to get this fixed. I spent almost million on the building to prevent water getting in with doors and floodprevention systems and pumps and everything. I urge you to get this motion passed so all the other residents can do the same things to protect their buildings.

The bigger picture, we would like to get this fixed permanently to prevent the surge waters getting into our builds. There are proposesals and one is to put a proposed park on 17th and folsom street. But if we can put that in, it could actually prevent the water getting into our buildings anyway. So i really hope we could look at this further and meanwhile today, lets get this first stage passed.

The matter is subject to the board of supervisors approval and cant be approved by the board until the beginning of september. So as along as you hear it by the well, you will lose two weeks in septembe
