Of the city also want protection too because monster homes are not just in Corona Heights. Its already started and going on for a number of years throughout San Francisco, so i hope that the supervisors take this very seriously, and will support this and eventually expand it to other parts of the city. Thank you. Thank you very much. John. Thank you. I am also with the San Francisco bay area Renters Federation.

Good start in that regard. But hello we in the other parts of the city also want protection too because monster homes are not just in Corona Heights.

New housing and adding in law units into the existing envelope of buildings is a terrific and more affordable way of doing that. No one advocated to me in the interim controls have some sort of lock down where we prevent people from adding to their homes or building new units. No one took that position.

The parrots are in there. We can see one, two, the different parrots up there and closer look where we can seat parrots here and here and here, and these are another group that would very much appreciate being able to keep the open space in the neighborhood so i ask that the Committee Support this legislation and recommend approval by the full board.
