Community benefit district that i know firsthand does a tremendous job in our community. I live in the tern loin an tends not a day that goes by where i dont walk by and see the positive impacts of all are doing. This morning i was walking to city hall down hyde street, helped across the street by the safe passage volunteers, walking down sidewalks that were pressure washed by tlcbd folks and just appreciating not just everything you all do but the way that you do it. I especially appreciate the approach that youve taken to putting people to work who need jobs, especially in our community. And also taking the approach that understands that if well be successful in the tenderloin, we have to do it in an inclusive way to make sure residents are heard. Sometimes thats Property Owners and sometimes not Property Owners and everybody has a seat at the table as were thinking about the kind of community we want. So i got to look at some of your policies around Harm Reduction and Racial Equity

It all goes back to the area of low pressure thats been stubborn sitting there since saturday and as the counterclockwise winds pull around it waves of rain coming off the gulf of mexico.
