The city when it comes to the lights and quality of life of black people. Weve lost too much in the city when it comes to academic achievement. Weve lost too much in the city when it comes to the issue of economic empowerment. We lost too much in the city when it comes to the simple presence of black people. If we dont stop this culture of death i predict five years from now there will be no black folks left in this town. Theres not even enough left here to fill up candlestick park. In the 1970s, we had between 90 and 100,000, that should tell us something about how San Francisco, through Public Policies of neglect and intent has virtually made this black Community Death in slow motion. Let us put the lifesupport system in action bring some light and heat, and when we do that, ultimately, everyone will feel a sense of help, happiness and hope. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioners. I am a member in the community over 40 years. Its not opposition, definitely of the safety or life bein

Im not going to be up here trying to rhyme i want you all to know one thing, this is bein
Facility with lights and with heat is a statement of death. I know that this [indiscernible] does not want to be an agent of death.

Requires an hour of debate and discussion, that all of these people who are doing great things in their community have to come down here for Something Like this. I have been on a commission, one of the reason you get paid so much is because you have to make hard decisions. That hard decision includes being on the phone with someone and telling them it makes no sense for us to fight this and i will not entertain the discussion. And then, let them show up during public testimony, general Public Comment and make their comment. It is absurd and disgusting and for those who have problems in our community, let them know what the issues and solutions are. We will work on it.
