Next, a Public Health official looks at efforts to improve. Vaccine and develop a universal flu vaccine. This house, science, space and Technology Committee hearing is about 2 and half hours. This hearing will come to order and without objection, declare a recess at any time. Good morning and welcome to our witnesses. Todays hearing on science and innovation, the worlds population, killing approximately 300 Million People in the 20th century alone. Smallpox is the only human disease to be eradicated thanks to the development of the vaccine. Another devastating disease, polio, 33 cases reported worldwide in 2018 compared to 350,000 cases in 1988. Every day it save lives especially lives of children and other vulnerable populations. There is no such thing as healthy skepticism when it comes to vaccines. Unfortunately there is a wellfunded Disinformation Campaign targeting the public and weakening Public Health laws. School vaccination requirements have been commonplace in the us for gene
On the whole, i am supportive of this project, and i will turn it over to the director. Thank you, commissioner. I will emphasize this is 25 affordable. It is a pretty su substantial number of affordable. To commissioner johnsons point, it is common in much of the city to have taller buildings at the corners especially in the commercial districts. It is common in the richmond and Pacific Heights with the multiple story buildings with lower rise Single Family or two family between, and because this is on a major transit line, as many of you pointed out, this felt like the right place for this amount of density. With respect to the transition. This is a very narrow lot. It would be extremely difficult, i think, to carve out some parts of this building without losing more units and getting into that whole discussion about the loss of units with respect to other aspects of city law and policy. I think on the whole weared on the side of saying this was the right project in the right place a

I want to second your motion. Thank you. Commissioner fong. It is interesting that the flow in terms of or waves, if you will, of Housing Development in our city. If you look at this area, you know, the first great wave was after the war when sun stream and those People Developers built quite a few of the homes here. They built it on a relatively small scale for the returning g is. As i indicated at a previous time, perhaps the norm of what we are seeing in San Francisco changed. We are now getting these 5, 6, 7 story pop ups, walk ups similar to the larger cities that we have had.
Perspective what the neighborhood would look like. The actual package should have the materials on the elevation drawings and there should be a rendering in there as well from the corner of 45th. We supplemented the visual with an additional rendering of the building looking back from 45th avenue towards the north. That is the only one. The main rendering from the corner of 45th and judah. Commissioner johnson. I live in a sister neighborhood of this project in the richmond, and in the richmond we have Single Family homes, we have two to four story buildings, we have multifamily units and we have huge buildings, particularly on the outer sunset side close to the ocean.
