People. I see them at the fastfood places, and the supoup kitchen. Ive taken in people that were stabbed. Its not fun being homeless, and i think you should take care of people that really need housing the most now, not later. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Commissioner commissioner antonini, welcome back. Its great to be back, because i may be able to leave after this item if i so choose. Any way, before i say anything, i would like to extend my condolences to the family of mayor ed lee. We lost a very devoted leader, last week, and we will miss him. Im speaking in favor of the project at 743 south vanness, only as you know because its over a 10,000 square foot lot, and it is under the state density housing bonus and the laws are quite strict about what sort of things would allow you to not approve a project, as youre well aware, because youve had two or three of these already.

And i think we are providing housing that will meet the vast demand that is occurring in San Francisco for housing, and thats not going away. As youre probably aware, the Federal Reserve has moved to raise slightly raise the prime rate in anticipation of the continued economy next year being very strong, and it will continue to be very strong in San Francisco.
