And i wanted full recommendation that i wanted to speak is because there is a bill thats been introduced in the state senate, senate bill 827, that would really take away some of the zoning powers that local municipalities like San Francisco have had now since the beginning of time and heres Proof Positive that we dont need an sb827, we know how to hand it locally and ill be introducing a measure at the board of supervisors tomorrow and hope to get the support of my colleagues in opposing sb827 as the league of cities has already done and as l.

Its a small amount of money, but one that has a great impact. Happen to answer any questions the commission has. Thank you very much. Any comments or
