This unique neighborhood, we noemie know miguels over there shaking his head like, yeah. [laughter] we know there is Something Special about the city and Something Special about the neighborhoods and to have everything to do with the people who are part of these amazing neighborhoods. And im just really excited about some of the other things that weve done and more of what we will do to make sure that we are protecting Affordable Housing in the mission for generations to come. [applause] now we all know the sad history of rewoment in our city. The community that i grew up in the Western Addition and what happened to that community. A lot of propsses were made. A lot of housing was built. But when the time came, for example, in the Public Housing that i grew up in, 300 units torn down, 200 units built and the difficulty of so many of us being able to move back to the community. You remember this joyce armstrong, what happened in the Western Addition and how it really sadly destroyed a v
The retractable hatch, and thats how the design was arrived at. The design was the entire ground unit has the rear yard, and the top unit has the exclusive use of the top deck. If we did make it accessible to all units, i did talk to the Fire Department, youd need both penthouses, and not a penthouse and a retractable hatch. I thought that was a combination of that. The middle unit, which is the smallest of the units, the way it was designed, has a nice size deck the way it was just talked about, and the bottom floor really has the exclusive use of the open level, and that theyre all realistic open spaces for everybody.

You remember this joyce armstrong, what happened in the Western Addition and how it really sadly destroyed a very vibrant African American community. And we look at this as a Lesson Learned and we have to think of the challenges that existed back then and what we have to do to change that for the future of San Francisco. And we are going to protect our diversity and our communities. We have to start making the right kinds of investments. Its why, when i was on the board of supervisors with this community, Roberto Hernandez was
The only reason i quit cigarettes after trying every other alternative was learning about Vape Products about three years ago. I havent touched a cigarette in three years. You talk about Harm Reduction, and thats exactly what this is. Im here for the same reasons same reasons as the people that are worried about our children, our youth. Im on the same side as them. I believe we do need to have Harm Reduction, but theyre looking at this in a wrong way with poor evidence and poor scientific study, so i want to share is a study done by truth. Org which, of course, is pushing an agenda now that makes Vape Products look like theyre pushing it directly to kids, which i dont think thats true and accurate, but this study is done called rethinking nicotine and its effects by raymond niyura, ph.
