Whats going to happen next. I appreciate your work on the balancing act and all the shareholders who put this together. I can remember in january 2011 mayor lee went to at twitter and walked out, as part of the negotiation, they are not going anywhere. If the supervisors get behind this housing act, its a statement on their part on behalf of the middle income and lower income people of this community that you are not going any without us trying to do something about it first.

He was so poor that when he was arrested, his parents couldnt make 3000 of bail. He spent three years in rikers. A 16yearold kid. Nobody deserves to be in prison for three years without a trial date. The sixth amendment says that you get a trial, it also says you get a speedy trial. I do not what happened to him in prison, i can only imagine. He tried to commit suicide four times. This should not happen america in america. It is this report shortly happening to blacks hispanics.
