Years. This project the building was supposed to be condominiums that would take a year, year and a half and on top of that, we have all of this extraction. I have talked to city officials and i have asked them for help, information and lots of other things and i havent had any help or information given to me to help me cope with this whole project. So i am against this whole thing. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. I am brian hirsch, structural engineer, resident and Business Owner in north beach as a consulting firm. Quite frankly, i think the overall subway planning has been poor from the very start. Having said that, it looks like its going to go ahead anyway and if its going to go ahead, do it right. Its going to get to north beach eventually and perhaps even to fishermans wharf. If so, do it now and extract at the pagoda theater, not bury it in chinatown at some cost. Because in the future, it will be extended. And it ....
Will be no tunneling into north beach. However, the city wants to tunnel into Northern Beach to get a start on the subway that will extend further. This is fine if it would properly plan. I am aware there has been no proper planning on the extension of the subway beyond chinatown, no Community Meetings on what path it should take and how it would be used.

Its been very frustrating to the people attending that meeting that we were not allowed to ask questions. The likelihood of a north beach stop is next to nil. The agreement with the owner does not allow for a station at that site, i understand. I would also like to dispute the idea that they keep saying it will be a 50 height limit on the project. Its supposed to be based on the conditions of the original permit, which limited the building to the existing building envelope only part of which was 50 high. I worry about the loss of that particular specific wording in all of these documents and i brought this to the attention of mr. Chius office and justin true at the time argued that the surrounding buildings were 50 height. That is simply not true. If anybody goes down there and justin never paid a height visit. Thank you. Next speaker. My name is mark brun [kwroerbgs ] a longterm resident of north beach and head of the group save north beach, which includes3 2 businesses now that have ....
The attorney general of the United States, eric holder, with an historic address on race in america. This of course, well, it all has to do with ferguson. He is about to speak at the ebenezer bamt church in atlanta. Thats the chux where dr. Martin luthootuther king preached. And across the United States there were walkouts in the wake of the ferguson grand jury decision. From new york to washington to chicago and san francisco. Workers walked off the job. Walked out of school, lying down on the ground as Michael Brown did when he lay for four hours. Demonstrators often repeating the hands up symbol that five players from the st. Louis rams did as they were introduced at sundays game. This as the president of the United States held a series of meetings with civil rights ....
