Robin nagle, why did you want to drive a garbage truck . I was curious about sanitation in new york. Also around the world, but i was here. After some time hanging out with sanitation workers, getting interviews, classic anthropological interviews, i realized i could not understand to be depths i wanted unless i was qualified to do the job. I was hired. The first time i drove the truck by myself, i have to say, it was terrifying and exhilarating. I was one of the most powerful vehicles on the road. Not the biggest truck. But i was the one no one wanted to be stuck behind or next to. Where did this interest come from . I was 11 or 10 as my dad took me camping in the adirondack mountains. This is when the questions of environmental awareness and integrity were really part of the National Conversation for the fi
Supported this and it was cast the Community Arts stabilization artists 14 years later weve acquired 2 building now, its going to be the hospitality house and so forth.

The largest beneficiaries of the tenderloin market area is the Property Owners theyre the ones that have seen the tremendous growth in their bottom lines as Tech Companies have moved into the areas but theyre fully paying their taxes and theyre addressing one the outcomes of the thought rising represents but particularly south of market. I apologize. I focused so much on my area but thats one area i know the mission and particularly its impacted by the economic growth. The one thing i want to add if were going to have a hearing we should look at the the stock option tax break that it was granted a couple of months offered by another supervisor that has had huge impacts in the city of San Fr
One issue against the other but i just, you know, have a concern with moving forward in a direction without clear understanding of exactly, you know, whats actually going on in the area the data theres a resolution, theres a budget Analyst Report increase nothing i have in terms of data or information it demonstrates to me there is a clear concrete need.
