Issues. I want to have the staff review this, particularly with the trust to see if this is a facility they could have approved. We have a staff member who used to work there. They reviewed it and said this would be something they would see as provable for what it is worth. It is an additional step that i wanted to at least get the answer to. They have their own guidelines, wireless telecommunication facilities or guidelines. That is what they use. I have a copy of that. One other question before we hammer on dpw. The corridor. This case reminds me when i first signed up a few years ago. I think there was a pole out in the sun set and there was a view corder requested. We denied it. It was looking rat golden gate park. Far less grand than this spectacular view which i have grown up with as a native of the city. I believe we also sited a view corridor. If this isnt in the view corder what is it . It is a good street. The issue and what it did have warrant additional review because of th of the historic resource. It was found to be in compliance. Looking at the application and plan. In your recollection of that action out in the sun set. If you remember it was even more screwy because they were careless enough to put Italian American flags and borrowed the signs they used in north beach to use in the sun set which was embarrassing to dpw. That is another conversation. Leavenworth, i believe, also. Those were view corridors as identified in the plan as being streets with view ratings. This street has no view rating. It is average street views. It doesnt have the higher rating of good or excellent which has additional street names. Thank you. Any Public Comment on this item. We had a question for dpw prior to that. Sure. Again thank you. The question was understanding that is an address and if you are using that lot as the address, shouldnt dpw circle everybody because if you are using that whole thing as your address. The planning representative said it has to be the address adjacent to the pole. That is the address adjacent to the pole. In regards to notification. I do have overhead please. I got your fingerprints now. This is the mailing affidavit that is applicant submitted. It was mailed per public works code article 25. I get that. I am not trying to give you you a hard time. It is deceptive if you look at the whole address is the presidio or the whole park. We cant use an address across the street. That is not a correct address. I want across the street from this parcel. That is not correct. We cannot use that. Six months ago we had another pole and it was the same, two blocks up, because it was at the bottom of the hill. That is where the people was. It was the closest address which was hundreds of yards away. The people across the street were impacted by the installation, their rights were abused. They werent properly consulted. What really bothers me. Does anybody from dpw ever make a site visit for these installations . Did anybody make a site visit to this or did you just simply do the easy way, the passive practice of going to your laptop and siting it and relying on electronics . Do you not make a site visit to a neighborhood . It is was there a site visit . We take the address they give us. Thank you. I would disagree. If they are not required to go out and following a procedure you need to discuss with the department changing the procedure. Up to that point they have done when they are supposed to do. I see their point. I wont get into an argument on it. Anyone here for Public Comment. Since you are part of the party, you can come up at rebuttal time. Any Public Comment . We are moving to rebuttal. You have three minutes. I think we can agree everyone uses google maps and it is accurate. This shows the disvans. It is over two miles. Quite frankly as we emphasized the ordinance requires affirmative determination that each wireless location does not interfere with the local aesthetics. If verizon had made the site visit they would have seen that. You are rubber stamping this and making it routine. We are asking for individual consideration of the impact just as the ordinance has the clerk has affirmed local power to you to protect the aesthetics. The City Ordinance imposes a duty to protect the neighborhood. We just simply ask that you do. Thank you. I just want to continue to say that they have argued under i believe it is Government Code Section 65010b this doesnt matter because no one is injured due to error or deception. I des agree. If this is approved the very thing that makes San Francisco such a world class city of sweeping views and historical significance will be entered. That is one thing. I want to entasias the view corridor is from the iconic lion street steps looking down towards the bay. We walk the steps every day up and down as do thousands of tourists and tons of School Children and artists and photographers. You know this. The view will be impacted from many levels of the steps that people come to visit every single day and night to photograph and to see it. Thank you. You still have 50 seconds. In terms of the approval, the notice we received. We have the same notices from 25, 2735 green, all approvals are exactly the same no differ be language. You get my point. We will hear from mr. Al bright. Thank you. You all know we are amateurs. You have seen the map where we went 50 feet, 150 feet around the pole that is required under public orders dpw18504 says 150 feet from around the pole. That is exactly what we did. The notice itself says the amateuthe amamatury loop and thw exactly where its and lions street north and south. I look at the pictures. We have posted on the street three posts with big huge posters on them showing on either side of the site showing exactly where it is. One of our problems in the city. Poles dont have addresses. Poles have numbers. Many times somebody said they put that in front of my neighbors property. There is a decision what address is provided. We were instructed to use these for the parcel on the side of the street where the poll is located. It doesnt have a lions street address. We followed the code, the order. We did all of the notices required. We dont think there was any prejudice and we dont think there was any injury and we dont think it changed the result. This poll is not on the lions street. It is one to two blocks away from the steps. Where this is located you dont have that beautiful view that you saw in the photographs. The pole rises from 30. 6 feet to 32 feet with a little skinny 11inch diameter antenna. That is not impairing the view. I recognize the issue you are addressing. I think this little address issue is a little out of proportion. We do not do anything to try to obscure our applications. You can imagine the result we would get the we did that. We try to cross every t and dot every i. These projects go on for years. We hope you uphold approval. One question. You have children . Two. If you were to send them a text to say meet neat 428 and four texas later you sent the picture where it is at. Would your kids figure that out . If my daughter got a ticket in amatury loop and she was on the other side of the wall, i would rather it be in federal rather than local jurisdiction. I understand your point. My daughter knows where i am right now. It is not by some address. She takes an uber and it takes her to the wrong address. My only point is we follow the rules and the addresses that were provided to us. If we have to with hundreds of applications secondguess these. We go out of our way to make sure we provide the notices and affidavits are provided and posted and we appear at all of the hearings and respond. Thank you. Anything further . No. Okay. Mr. Sanchez. Just to reiterate and i think the board knows this. We review every project individually against the standards. There may be standards adopted throughout the years. It is for consistency these are all applied to the same standards. We do review these on an individual basis. There is no correlating address in our records for directly across the street from this. The closest is 2901 lion. It is a few blocks down. There is nothing here that would lead you to directly this location. Is the lions street steps an excellent view location . I dont have that information available. The blue angels are flying. Commissioners this is submi submitted. I am not supportive. I am not supportive on the grounds that, it is hard to determine fault. It is not the pla planning or attorney. If it is on page one or page 5, i believe it should be self explanatory where this poll is going to be. If the pole does not have a number maybe the city needs to figure that out, but to me, to be honest, turk went through. This is similar. I am not supportive of it. If there is a move to continue, how many votes do we need with with three commissioners to continue it. We can continue it now. There are three. We can vote and it doesnt pass. It is clear it is not going to pass. At this point you have had your discussion, we would need to vote to continue the matter. I recommend you do that when all commissioners are present. That would be september 18th. Would you like to move that . Someone needs a motion. I will make that motion. I have made like six tonight. It is my night. We have a motion from commissioner honda to continue this to september 18th. Is every one available at that time . I am. Okay. Please come up to the podium. I cant hear. We have five other parties and a schedule as well. You have seen how much time this takes up. We could potentially do september 11th commissioner tanner will be missing so we have four. For the 18th. That works. Thank you. You are the named appellant. If it works for you. Dpw, you will show up . We have a motion from commissioner honda to continue this to september 18th. On that motion. roll call . So that motion carries 30. We will see you september 18th. We will putt you meeting adjourned. Shop and dine on the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of San Francisco by supporting local Services Within neighborhood. We help San Francisco remain unique, successful and vibrant. Where will you shop and dine in the 49 . San francisco owes the charm to the unique character of the neighborhood comer hall district. Each corridor has its own personality. Our neighborhoods are the engine of the city. You are putting money and support back to the community you live in and you are helping Small Businesses grow. It is more environmentally friendly. Shopping local is very important. I have had relationships with my local growers for 30 years. By shopping here and supporting us locally, you are also supporting the growers of the flowers, they are fresh and they have a price point that is not imported. It is really good for everybody. Shopping locally is crucial. Without that support, Small Business cant survive, and if we lose Small Business, that diversity goes away, and, you know, it would be a shame to see that become a thing of the past. It is important to dine and shop locally. It allows us to maintain traditions. It makes the neighborhood. I think San Francisco should shop local as much as they can. The retail marketplace is changes. We are trying to have people on the floor who can talk to you and help you with products you are interested in buying, and help you with exploration to try things you have never had before. The fish business, you think it is a piece of fish and fisherman. There are a lot of people working in the fish business, between wholesalers and fishermen and bait and tackle. At the retail end, we about a lot of people and it is good for everybody. Shopping and dining locally is so important to the community because it brings a tighter fabric to the community and allows the Business Owners to thrive in the community. We see more Small Businesses going away. We need to shop locally to keep the Small Business alive in San Francisco. Shop and dine in the 49 is a cool initiative. You can see the banners in the streets around town. It is great. Anything that can showcase and legitimize Small Businesses is a legitimize Small Businesses is a hello, everybody. I am london breed, mayor of the city and county of San Francisco , and im really excited to join you here today, but i tell you that no one is more excited than the parents of the kids who will be returning to school on monday. And today is an opportunity to us to really get the word out to people all over San Francisco that we have thousands of kids who are returning to school on monday. We will see kids walking, we will see them by king, we will see them on buses and yes, some of them will get dropped off by parents in their car. But ultimately, we want everyone will get around this city safely because there will be more people out on the streets now than ever before as a school began on monday. So a part of today is really about highlighting the awareness that we need people to slow down we need people to be aware. We need people to do better. We have had sadly a number of tragedies that have occurred on our city streets and we know, unfortunately, that has a lot to do sometimes with speed. We need to slow down. Yes, i have asked the chief to increase citations, and to be aware in this high injury corridors, the need to make sure that there are consequences for people who are speeding, which sadly can cause tragedy. If a pedestrian is hit by a driver at 20 Miles Per Hour, their risk of fatality is 5 , but if that is 30 Miles Per Hour , their risk jumps to 45 . What we dont want to continue is sadly what we see happening on our streets where we are losing far too many lives, and our most precious assets are our children, so we want to make sure that when they are moving around San Francisco, going back to school, that they are safe. When i was a kid, i went to School Across the street from where i lived. It used to be called but the name is now rosa parks elementary school. What was so cool about that is we would all just walk to school someone would walk up to my window, yell my name, there would already be three or four kids. We would get to the corner on eddie and buchanan, and then there was a crossing guard right there to make sure that all cars stopped so we could safely get across the streets and move on our way to get to school. I never realized how valuable that was until i became an adult and i see so many kids that are out there trying to get to school. We were also taught to look both ways before crossing the street. We also have to get back to some basics. This year we have hired more crossing guards and we want to thank the folks who are joining us here today for your service and for your commitment to making sure that people get around our streets safely. We also, as i said, we have the chief here. We will be placing additional enforcement in certain areas, and so i just want to also ask drivers to do better to stop texting, to stop making phone calls, to stop making looking at your phones when youre driving on our streets, to slow down, and to look both ways and to be very careful when you are navigating the streets of San Francisco to follow the laws. The stop signs, the crosswalks, and all of those things are there for a reason. It is to keep all of us safe. The protected bike lanes are there to make sure that by his bicyclists are safe, the people walking across the streets are safe, that people are moving. This is all about safety. This is all about highlighting the need for us as a safety to do much more than we have in the past so that we can truly realize the goals of vision zero , and that is no fatalities of any kind in this city because of traffic or cars or what have you. At this time, i would like to introduce the supervisor that represents this district, represents marine at middle school where there will be a lot of kids here first thing monday. Supervisor catherine stefani. Thank you. I love the middle school. It is so beautiful. I want to thank everyone, especially mayor breed and the students, parents, and city leadership who were able to make it out today as well as crossing guards. The most important people in the morning when were dropping our kids off at school who really did the important work of making sure our students are safe in our communities. My son just started high school on wednesday and my daughter is starting fifthgrade next week and i dropped dominic off at high school on his first day. I insisted i did it. And besides saying to me, mom, dont say anything weird when you dropped me off, this people around, i said to him, look both ways. It is on a busy street. He is still 14 years old and still telling my child, be careful when his crossing the street considering how dangerous our streets can be. As we kick off the new school year, as we all know, hit and runs and collisions between pedestrians and bicyclists and be at vehicles are way too common in San Francisco. Nearly every Community Meeting i have been to recently, neighbors have voiced support force crating safer streets and sidewalks and i definitely share this goal. It is our collective responsibility to make sure our streets and sidewalks are safe and secure for families who are walking, for those who are driving, and for those who are riding their bikes to school. We know we all have work to do when it comes to making sure our kids are safe. I know i can always do better out there when you get to a stop sign, count to three, dont open a door before looking before for a bicycle and always be aware, dont take calls when you were driving, just like mayor breed said. We can all do much better. I am so proud to join chief scott and his department who performed a Traffic Safety enforcement list earlier this month. I am grat glad i didnt get a ticket. Interim director mcguire who continues to work with their communities and crating safe and Sustainable Transportation options, and marine, who has been an advocate for students and pedestrians across our city. And of course, again, mayor breed was continue to shine a light on transit safety and has worked towards creating a safer San Francisco for all of our students. As we begin our school year, lets all recommit ourselves to making our commute to and from school safer. I look forward to working with mayor breed and my colleagues on the board of supervisors, our department heads, and families and all of our School Communities to further our shared vision for a safer San Francisco. Thank you so much. [applause]. Thank you, supervisor. At this time, i would like to introduce our police chief, bill scott. [applause]. Thank you, mayor. Thank you. Good morning, everyone. First of all, let me say thank you to the mayor and supervisor stefani for their leadership on traffic and pedestrian safety. Backtoschool is an exciting time. It is exciting, it is a lot of work and we want to start with this. Slow down a little bit. Slow down. The mayor mentioned it earlier. Speed kills. In terms of the focus of the violations that we concentrate on the most, we are trying to get people to slow down. As the mayor stated and supervisor stefani stated, we are going to be out doing enforcement. I want to also think the mayor and the supervisor because what allows us to get better at this is the generous support of our budget this year. Last year the mayor signed a budget, and this year she signed a budget that included continuing our hiring plan. What that has allowed us to do is increase the size of our Traffic Company and our motorcycle officers. We have at least ten more motorcycle officers then we do this time last year thanks to the mayors leadership on the budget and the supervisor stefanis leadership on the budget. What that means is we are able to do more enforcement and get people to slow down and save lives. What that looks like in the First Six Months of 2019, we have had 19 light armed forces operations, we have head sting and decoy operations, pedestrian sting and decoy operations, we have had a bike lane enforcement operation, we have initiated over 2301 vehicle traffic stops through the office of Traffic Safety grant operations, we have issued almost 100 citations just for holding a cell phone in your hand. I mentioned this at last years press conference, that is a big issue for us. People driving in our city while theyre talking on the cell phone or texting or distracted otherwise, and that is a big issue. Will be focusing on that as well we sighted almost 75 of these operations just for citations for texting while driving, which is very dangerous. The bottom line on this is enforcement is only one part of the puzzle. We have tom maguire up here with this with us, we have crossing guards, this is really a Community Effort and a community event. We really need the communitys support and your support to get the message out. Slow down, pay attention, be careful because our kids mean so much to us. Save lives. Thank you very much, mayor and supervisor stefani for your leadership, and thank you all for being here. [applause] thank you, chief. Another important part of making our streets safer is improving our infrastructure. Now i know that sometimes this can be a bit of a tugofwar because we have protected bike lanes that we need to install, and sometimes that would require the removal of parking, and we have changes to the way that we need to develop our city moving forward to because because when you think about it, you know, 20 years ago, you didnt see as many people cycling, and now you have people using that as a primary mode of transportation. That is not only protecting our environment, but it is also keeping people healthy and it is also making sure that the buses are less crowded and less people are driving. So as we make these improvements to our infrastructure, the goal is safety. It is about making sure that everyone knows where they should be when theyre on the road in order to keep people safe. So the m. T. A. Is charged with the responsibility of helping us to reconfigure San Francisco as a place that used to focus mostly on developing our streets for cars, and now it is time to develop the streets for the future and that includes cars, walking, busing, and biking in all of those things in between, his the person who is leading the m. T. A. At this time is the acting director, tom mcguire. [applause] thank you for drawing the connection between the changes we see on our streets and the choices that all of us make every day about how we get around San Francisco. Our goal is to make everyone feel like it is safe for kids to be able to walk to school or bike to school or get to school on the bus. The 190 crossing guards will be out on the street this week. They are here with one thing in mind, that is the safety of the children of San Francisco. We have been doing a lot of work this summer to prepare the city for a safe start to the school year. We read striped 90 of the crosswalks around schools around the city. Weve got troopers, we got transit assistance staff who ride the bus with her high school and medicals middle School Students to make sure they are safe as they navigate the city, and we are ready for a safe start to the school year however you get around. The m. T. A. Has got something for you to keep you safe. We are grateful for the support of the mayor and supervisor stefani. All the citys elected officials for the goal of vision zero to end traffic fatalities in the city. Thank you. [applause]. Thank you. We have a very special guest. The ladies of the westside waves are here today and speaking on behalf of the team is maureen. [applause] hi. My name is maureen and i am here today because five months ago on march 15th, my friend was struck by a car and died ten days later, so i have normal memories of eighth grade. I remember my eighth grade play, spending iron hours on my science fair project and studding from a big math test, but i also remember coming in late to my homeroom when i saw my teacher crying. I remember my team and i knew madeline was in the hospital because she was 14 and of course, she was going to wake up i clearly remember spending my eighth grade graduation holding in my tears after her memorial because i didnt want to ruin my mascara. When someone dies, especially such a bright light like mandelman, a community suffers. And knowing she died in a way that is utterly human and utterly preventable makes it so much more heartbreaking. Our city has a problem and it is killing people. With all the statistics and initiatives going around, this is easily the site of the real impact madelyns parents, or siblings, your parents and her teammates were left behind, trying and failing to move on. I am so grateful we have the support of so many of our city leaders. We got some of the change we asked for, but it is not enough. It will not be enough until this stops happening. We cannot lose sight of what happens of what matters. We have to remember what we as a city lose. We can end this. We will end this. Thank you. [applause] thank you for really putting it into perspective of why we need to do better. So thank you to everyone who is here today. Please keep in mind this is a changing city, it is a growing city. We have a lot more people who are out there on the streets, on the roads walking, so please be careful. So we also will be out there and enforcing the rules of the road, and just keep in mind that there are a lot of people out there on the streets and your kids are out there, your mother is out there, your family members are out there, so just think about that when you are out there driving around and you get distracted by a phone call. That phone call can wait. What is so what is so pressing that you have to reach for your phone, which could risk the possibility of an accident, and the importance of today is really to shine a light on our need to be back here in San Francisco, to make sure that not one more tragedy happens on the streets of our city. Thank you all for getting the word out, thank you for being here, lets do better so that kids that are going to school on monday can have a great day and they can enjoy themselves and laugh, and play, and smile, and make it home safely to tell their parents about what an amazing first day of school they had. Thank you so much for being here [applause] my s. F. Dove government t. V. Moment was when i received a Commendation Award from supervisor chris daly. Then we sang a duet in the board chamber. [singing] happy anniversary San Francisco government t. V. Happy anniversary to you. Happy anniversary San Francisco government t. V. Anniversary, anniversary, happy 25th anniversary to you. [ ] welcome, everybody. It is such a pleasure to be able to welcome you to our event to commemorate not only the acquisition of 270 turk street and the barcelona apartments, but to recognize the Partnership Among the mayor and city, the San FranciscoHousing Accelerator Fund and others. The barcelona apartment is important, not only because of the accomplishment itself in this building, but also because it represents an important policy direction, and a bigger attempt to address the housing crisis in San Francisco. Please join me in welcoming our mayor and partner, london breed. [applause] thank you, don, and thank you for being an amazing partner in the effort to acquire welding his all over the safety to keep them permanently affordable. Because we know that having Affordable Housing isnt just about new construction, it is about making sure that we preserve existing Affordable Housing, whether its property that we built under the old redevelopment agency, that are in disrepair, or its buildings like this where we are able to acquire it through our small sight Acquisition Program so that we can keep it permanently affordable. Those are the things that are necessary to make sure that San Francisco is a more affordable place for all san franciscans of all income levels. We have work to do, folks. The good news is that in this particular efforts, they basically kept their eyes open and saw that this was an Incredible Opportunity for the small sight Acquisition Program. In fact, even though we are celebrating 86 units here, we know that number one, we have almost we have acquired almost 300 unit so far through this program, theres another 110 in the pipeline, which is absolutely incredible. I am really excited about the future of this program, but a more excited about the 600 milliondollar Affordable Housing bond on the ballot this november. [applause] because it also provides us with an opportunity to acquire more property. I see randy shot in the back. Thank you for coming. We just open the doors to the bristol hotel. Another incredible site here in the tenderloin, and we will continue to do everything we can to ensure that our residents have a safe, affordable place to come home call home. Nothing makes you feel better than to have a roof over your head, to have that kind of security, to know that you will be able to afford to pay your rent. This is not just about acquiring this building, this is about providing a new home for formerly homeless families, it is about providing wraparound supportive services, because we want to not only house them, we want to keep them housed. We want to make sure that they have a thriving existence while they are living in their homes, so sometimes it is just more than a home, it involves making the place feel like home and creating the kind of community that we know we can when we acquire sites like this. So i am very excited because this is like my favorite thing to do, and i think that we need to spread the word more about so many great things that we are doing to ensure affordability for all of our residents in San Francisco, and so i would like to invite you up to say a few words. He is one of the new residents of this incredible establishment come on up and say a few words. [applause] okay, hello, everyone. My name is richard, and i live here at 270 turk street in this building. It is really nice, yeah. I come from cambodia, and i came here quickly and settled down in this building with my family and i feel comfortable. I am happy in this building. I have some people who are from cambodia that live here in the tenderloin, and i am so grateful for this building, for the new owners, for the tndc. Everything, you know, is close, everything. Im so happy, and i will i am comfortable to live in this building. Thank you for everyone coming for today. Thats all i have today. [applause] thank you so much. Thank you. Rebecca foster from the San FranciscoHousing Accelerator Fund. Thank you. Thank you so much. Stories like yours are why we all do this work. My name is rebecca foster, im the c. E. O. Of the San FranciscoHousing Accelerator Fund and we are a nonprofit housing fund that was formed by the Mayors Office and Community Stakeholders like many of you who are in the room. Our job is to innovate smart approaches to Housing Finance that put public, private and philanthropic money to work to fund Affordable Housing. We were created to support important and ambitious projects just like this one. We are a nonprofit developer like our awesome partners at tndc. We are working every day to protect Affordable Housing, but they dont always have the right funding when they need it. When tndc approached us with this project, we immediately understood its importance. A chance to save 86 units and protect 72 current residents in the heart of the tenderloin in an old, beautiful historic building. We knew that if these residents would be displaced, and many of them are longterm teachers, nurses assistance, technicians, restaurant workers, they would likely not find another home that they could afford in San Francisco. To purchase 270 turk, tndc needed 24 million. About 18 million to buy the building, which is still a lot, and about 6 million for improvements to ensure that the building continues to provide a very safe and healthy place for all of the residents to call home. Our partners in the Mayors Office and the great team there will be able to come through with a longterm with the longterm funding for this building, but they didnt have the funds ready in 60 days at tndc needed to compete with market rate buyers to save this building. Deals that are over 10 million are often nonstarters for most lenders, but at the Housing Accelerator Fund, we pride ourselves in being a creative and flexible lender, and even for us, 24 million is very significant, but we knew how important this was, his we rolled up our sleeves and sprinted to raise 50 million in Additional Capital in a few months, working with the Mayors Office, and then working with the Mayors Office tndc and the department for housing for homelessness and Supportive Housing where we structure the partnership that the mayor referenced that is really the first of its kind so that we cannot only prevent the displacement of the current residents here, would also open up 24 units over the next few years so that individuals currently experiencing homelessness can also have really Quality Homes in this building. And not only is that the right thing to do and an amazing way to use the money, it also helped be the piece of the puzzle that helps the financial issue work. We are thrilled that we could step into support tndc and work with the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development to get this project across the finish line. This is really hard work. Deals like this happened really quickly and other small sights projects and they require very significant Capital Resources and a high level of collaboration and creativity and persistence, which is exactly why mayor breed continues to bring together such diverse coalitions of funders like ours to support muchneeded preservation of Affordable Housing. Some of those partners are here. Partners lake city Community Development, thank you, dignity health, the San Francisco foundation, just recently the Betty Ferguson foundation, and Tipping Point communities. We cant do this work without all of those partners, and that we have been able to over the last two years deploy 100 million to enable the preservation and construction of 417 permanently affordable deals permanently affordable units. A very complicated transaction, but like this one at the barcelona apartment projects that are way too important to walk away from. To keep it critical, we are working with the mayor to raise 50 million more in philanthropic and mission aligned capital so when Nonprofit Developers like tndc and the city need a trusted partner for the comp looks project like this, we can continue to stand at the ready. Thank you. [applause] think, rebecca. Thank you, mayor, for your partnership. I want to close with a few observations about why this is so important to tndc and to our community and the tenderloin. The tenderloin, like so much of San Francisco, is gentrifying, and there has been a longstanding fear dating back to the seventies that the tenderloin would someday not to be affordable to people with low incomes. When we buy a property like 270 turk street, one of the things that is really important about it is the fact that it is no longer owned by a forprofit. I want to break that down a little bit in terms of the way rent control works in San Francisco. Of course, under rent control, rent can only go up so much for an existing tenant, however, when a tenant voluntarily vacates, not is displaced, voluntarily vacates, that units rent can float up to market. That means that the next occupant will be higher income household. One can see that when one looks at the rent roll of barcelona apartments, and 80 or so people who live here, the people who moved in recently are paying a lot more rent than the people who moved in ten or 15 or 20 years ago. The key for us is that, number one, tndc can consider we consider ourselves forever owners, so we intend to own this property in perpetuity, and when somebody moves out voluntarily, we wont raise the rent to market. We will essentially freeze the rents and the incomes of the People Living here now for future occupants for generations so over time, this will become more and more and more Affordable Housing. It is a key part of the strategy of the tenderloin housing clinic , the tndc, and a lot of groups here to keep the tenderloin affordable for a group of people with low income.
