Coming next year whose spirit is stream lined, stop obstructing, delaying, build more housing, and this is absolutely the time. We need the housing. As much as folks would like, its not possible to build a wall around the mission. Somehow thats going to help whats going on there. This is a citywide crisis that affects every neighborhood. Approve this project without delay. Thank you. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. My name is richard hack. Ive heard these are a lot of good arguments. Just a couple of things, the architecture of this project and the one before are hideous. I mean, they look like shopping bags or boxes. Our Architectural Commission created a lot of create buildings. I wonder here what happened to the architecture. The demand to live in San Francisco is almost infinite. Its absolutely impossible to build enough units to drive the rents down. Now and then theres a little dip, because markets fluctuate, but thats not a valid argument and should be reje
Again, this corner is highly, highly trafficked at most times of the night. Its not the kind of corner where people can stop and jump out and get back in. Its really challenging. Thats going to be it doesnt mean dont do the project, it just means theres a challenge. The last thing ill comment on in terms of affordability, i concur with the staff just to go further the project has a gray area with affordability. It gets the density decontrol it would have had with home sf which requires 30 but yet not there.

On where the parking is. I think people will be surprised how little of an impact this has when it actually gets hit on the street. The design is vastly improved. I dont know if you did the earlier design but if you did you vastly i am improved it. It remembers of van ness. Originally it was a good design but didnt not turn out as as well as originally planned and part was materialiality. I think your balconies add texture to it which they dont have and it looked like an office complex. I like this one but i hope we dont cheapen the design. I thank supervisor farrell in working on this and getting it to where it is. Hopefully the retail will be active. It is a tough corner but youre wine shop is doing well and making it there so hopefully that retail will add to the vibrancy of whats there. So very supportive. Commissioner richards. I didnt make the motion but id like to add the condition we have carshare spaces. The planning code only requires one and i think what we would say is the
