questions and concerns, by the time we had this conversation, they were relaxed with a big smile on their face. everybody else we talked to were very happy that they came door to door, and they were interested in learning about it. it showed me some of the people were neutral, but a lot of people were really very pleased by the time the staff and i left. i realize that there are many more people besides me and a few others and that is not just the tenants who are opposed, but many who are for it. i have this year, and i will pass this out a synopsis of 9% supervisor mar: thank you. next, please. thank you so much supervisors. i am helaniting. i am part of the action combs. we want to say we are opposed to this development. we know it will not be any good, especially to all of us long-term people there. as far as trying to speak to other people that want to tear down park merced, they are brand new people there, hardly been there at all. no, i think if park merced want
residents, the project is preferable to the chaotic third element that represents uncontrolled density growth on the west side. you have a clear look at what can be done with planned growth whether you like it or not. and you have a clear look in the future about the disaster that is coming with turning housing into density zoning. the west side needs planned intelligent growth. thank you. hello, board of supervisors. my name is carroll coppell. i have lived at park merced for 21 years in a two-bedroom garden apartment. i support them. i have spoken many times here at the hearing about the dilapidated apartment, and i want to take this team to speak from my heart. i don t know how else to put it any other way this time but for us to move along. these places are in such disrare, and i would love for stellar management, the best company we have evered had to rebuild. i can t take the neighbor s dirty bath water coming up, the long walk to the laundry room in my older years. a
public hearing on this very important issue. my name is ann marie bratton. i live in merced. i have been in my garden apartment for 18 years. i am in phase one, and i will be one of the first people to move out. i don t want to particularly live in a high rise apartment. however, i think that each one of us, everyone, has a responsibility beyond our individual lives. i think the park merced plan speaks to that responsibility. san francisco needs housing. san francisco needs affordable housing especially on the west side of the city. san francisco needs, as well as the earth needs, environmental development. and this plan is a very sustainable plan. high density urban housing near transportation is becoming the best development for sustainable living. san francisco needs economic development. the jobs that will be provided, the construction jobs, the electrical jobs, the union jobs. i have talked to my neighbors as well. i have a neighborhood who was scared to death. they are
busy streets. it is highly con surf tiff of water. the project will provide over 68 akers of green acres and parks. they have guaranteed any person affected will be moved to a brand new unit with the current rent at the time of the move. park merced is beautiful. thus the reason i moved there, and many people i know. but it clearly can t survive unless we pass this. if it doesn t pass. i am scared to see what would happen. i can t imagine any future company would want it since it needs a lot of work and not economically sound. supervisor mar: thank you. hello, supervisors. thank you for holding another public hearing on this very important issue. my name is ann marie bratton. i live in merced. i have been in my garden apartment for 18 years. i am in phase one, and i will be one of the first people to move out. i don t want to particularly live in a high rise apartment. however, i think that each one of us, everyone, has a responsibility beyond our individual lives. i thin
school, which has been closed for 30 years. no, i don t think that is their great calling in life. all they want to do is tear the place down, cram as many people into a small area as possible and charge the highest amount of represent that they can. that is all that is going to happen. as the san francisco city and county attorney said, there are no guarantees, and the rent control discussion absolutely will not be upheld because it is not part of the law or anything. if they want to change their mind later, they can. thank you very much. supervisor mar: i am going to call several more names. jim cook, elizabeth cook, bill blackle weapon, and hirkuda. that is the remainder of the cards i have. good afternoon, honorable supervisors. i am speaking as an arc at the time and the father of two children here in france san francisco. i support park merced. this is an opportunity to confront head on the crushing responsibilities we will be facing as a city, state and region for
