Parking, all of those things. And so i welcome this. And i hope we do it. Thank you. Commissioner richards. So just to be clear its nothing that you just said that i would say i violently disagree with.

But i said to him two weeks ago we need to be careful that if you do things that there is some type of protection that we dont do something and then all of a sudden something rolls over us and everything that we did actually was more not because now theres some new mandate out of sacramento.

This is a bay area problem, a california problem, frankly its a problem we have in our country. I know some of you are excited to see the housing was asked during the debate last time for the first time something we need to talk about. We are exci

And that is what was beautiful about the victory we just had at the polls of proposition e with proposition a is that we were able to convince the voters that there was this relationship between density and funding. And i think that thats key to the conversation we had about racial equity, because it wasnt just zoning that created our inequalities and Racial Disparities in america. It was the combination of zoning and money and availability of capital. So the way i see it, what has happened in the mission and soma and increasing
