He died believing that the fountain was under restoration. In his obituary, the paper called him San Franciscos novel laureate. This was the last photograph taken of the fountain before it was dismantled. Engineers determined rather than moving it in one place, the fountain would have to be cut along mortared joints. Tida is the steward owner and caretaker of both the covarrbias murals and the pacific fountains. Five of the six murals have been lovingly preserved. One has been missing since the 60s, which is sad, but the rest are preserved, while the fountain languishes with a certain amount of pathos on the island. San francisco should be proud that this fountain recognizes the citys recognition of the pacific as a united a unity of economic and cultural partners. San francisco recognizes that community and gave it breathtaking vision in the wor

Thank you for that. I am looking forward to this retreat. We do have one more meeting before the retreat, right . We can talk about of a little more there. I watched this a news segment on restaurants close and great i dont know if you had a chance to i have noticed a lot of this coverage on Small Businesses closing in the city is pretty onesided. I think they tend to focus on greedy landlords and the scorch of millennials who have changed their habits that are destroying our businesses. I dont think that coverage is fair. I think it might sell ads, but i dont think it is actually fair. I dont think we need to face the role that this building has on our government having the situation for Small Businesses right now. I have been chicken little. Ive been going to a ton of hearings and screaming. Im like little at the end, when the sky is actually falling but nobody believes him.

When we can provide a high number of subsidized hopes and put it next to a station, we thin thats think thats a win. Thank you. Put. Good afternoon, commissioners. Im here with bodere. At a hearing in this room several months ago, i heard one of the commissioners say the district has a target on its back. Pot our community is feeling pressure of unaccount be development for some time and were here before you today because we have solutions and we need your support. They had a neighborhood strategy and one of the clear recommendations that emerged from that strategy process was to create a housing plan for the neighborhood. One that would consider the incomes of local residents that would account for displacement that is occurring in our neighborhood. Two years later, the housing plan has not happened and so we are stuck responding to market rate after Market Rate Development at the same time that Affordable Housing projects weve advocated for have met delay after delay.
