U. D. Language as proposed by supervisor farrell would require 17 of the 95 units to be affordable. Commensurate with the removal of the dwelling unit density control proposed in the geary masonic s.

Do you know if i can turn on oh, perfect. Thank you. First off, i want to thank all of you for your time this afternoon. And thank the supervisor and his staff along with the Planning Department. This is certainly a long and arduous process to get here. But one that weve been very excited about. I wanted to start off by giving you a little bit of context about the site itself. It is the site formerly of the lucky penny founded by geary and masonic. Immediately adjacent to trader joes. Its heavily serviced site of Public Transit and the future site of the geary Rapid Transit line as well, which is currently under construction there. Will actually be a stop for that right at masonic, immediately adjacent to the proposed development. I wanted to spend a few minutes, although the supervisor did do a great job of outlining the evolution of this project. Just outlining the various iterations that have come forth and that planning have considered and preface all of this by saying that, as wit

But glass halffull, half empty. Look at numbers. Margins may tell us something as we look forward to 2018. Well look at all four races. With the race in georgia last night, 3. 8 percentage point win for republicans and karen handel on that side, compares to last time this seat was open a 23point margin. We saw in other races, South Carolina, which was much closer than anybody anticipated with republicans only winning it by 3. 2 Percentage Points, versus a district where they won by 20 point the last time around.
