Whats going to happen next. I appreciate your work on the balancing act and all the shareholders who put this together. I can remember in january 2011 mayor lee went to at twitter and walked out, as part of the negotiation, they are not going anywhere. If the supervisors get behind this housing act, its a statement on their part on behalf of the middle income and lower income people of this community that you are not going any without us trying to do something about it first.

I fully support this. I was hoping for this for so many years. I certainly hoped for at least that long. Actually i helped work with jim with the western soma plan and we talked about improving the code. Im glad that the planning code will help with more Affordable Housing.
