We are going to split our time so you can watch a short video we have. Good morning. Talk into the microphone. Good morning, commissioners, i am a senior resident of the housing park project. I love the buchanan mall area that was transformed when citizen film and green street and others made it a point to make it a livable area. When i say livable, it was just a bearren land before. Nothing was there but neighbor a basketball court. Now there are beautiful flowers and herbs and Entertainment Center to it is and read a book in the warm sunlight. It makes tourists really want to stop by and visit and look at our murals to see what we are doing in the neighborhood. At one point we had a beautiful garden there were i would pick my Collard Greens and cook and eat them, of course. I am looking forward to the concept to be done with the new area because i am sure it is going to be successful, and i am hoping that as much funding as possible can be given to that area, too. I am sure the senio
Work of health right 360. Im excited to be here today and be joined by supervisor haney and dr. Grant colfax from the department of Public Health to really express my excitement about what these new beds due to provide an opportunity for people who we know need this level of support. As someone who grew up in San Francisco and especially now as mayor, i do spend a lot of time in the neighborhood. And the consistent theme of people, who in some cases that i grew up with, or the parents of people who i grew up with, who unfortunately have had challenges with Substance Use disorder, they are maybe getting the kind of help and treatment they need to, but then once they go through the 90 day program, thats when the struggle really begins.

The committee to continue this item. Next speaker. Good morning. Now it is afternoon. Peter cohen. The pdas at a technical level, i would like to step back and think about this item in contrast to the last item sb50 and the conversation about local community planning. It is very encouraging to hear your Planning Department staff and i am thinking about supervisor browns comments early about the staff being helpful. It is not a technical resource. You didnt see the Planning Department staff taking a position opposing sb50 based on the amendment the board put forward. Frankly, that is what a Planning Department should be doing. Unfortunately they were silent and it took the board to do that technical work. Now the Planning Department is coming forward with a pda proposal saying this is not dictating zoning or telling you your process is taken away from you.

Their fight against the government accusing it of violating a peace accord signed in 2016 the agreement ended pide decades of civil war i dont want this man and 3 of his associates now have a price on their heads the colombian president is offering rewards of more than 800000. 00 for information leading to that camp. Even mark has helped negotiate peace in colombia now hes trying to end it. Well by when we signed the accord in havana we did so with the conviction that it was possible to change the life of the most humble and dispossessed. But the state hasnt fulfilled its most important obligation which is to guarantee the life of its citizens i just specially avoid assassinations for political reasons but i thought it only because but other former fighters have declared their commitment to peace.
