Chairwoman a quick question i know that is happening, and it is happening in the Mission District constantly, so this is a really important piece of legislation. But i just want to understand what happened. So the person gets a preference, moves into an Affordable Housing unit through that preference, and then their original unit, the Capital Improvements are done, and the landlord does the right thing and offers it back to the tenant.

And so part of what i think the community and the supervisor is trying to do is to create some impediments, where bad actors are disincentive vised. Disincent vised. And a some point that tenant is going to be able to come back, there is a financial disincentive for them to keep that unit open as we have taken care of that family for six months or a year or year and a half. And, yes, it is a policy choice because the pie is getting a little bit smaller. There is no question about that. And that means that some folks are waiting longer in line. But it also means that we are sa ....
