Items 12 or 14 in so far as we are not reading in closed session . Public comment is closed. Is there a motion to move the personnel committees recommendations . Made by commissioner mar and seconded by commissioner yee. We have the same house, same call. Those items are adopted. Is there any general Public Comment . Thank you, supervisors. I would like to talk about the five m. Building. The reason i am addressing you is that i have contacted multiple people throughout these five years. I want to ensure that there are no encroachments for the width of the street, which is the width of 30 feet. The reason im requesting this, i know some of you have been briefed. There is another alignment with the lying, it is on the alignment it has been on the table for eight years and as we discussed during the first personnel committee, the same individual that was responsible what happened and by the way, the procurement as the caltrain railcar. If they are also responsible for ignoring that align
They would walk away. And i know when one of the reasons and i did my homework and you remember for two years, i worked in joint development doing feasibility studies in the land use and so i worked with joint development.

As far as community process, i absolutely agree with you. We should have that community process, community should be involved.

I think that was a terrible position to put you in because i know that you are doing the best for the city. As peter just stated, i dont think one size fits all, and definitely the amendments have to take care of different aspects of the city and the character of San Francisco. I think sb 50 billions the market rate housing much more so when you look at arena than it ever did build Affordable Housing. There is no profit in building Affordable Housing so it forces developers, even wellmeaning once, to build a market rate. Rate. It is a massive give away to deve
