Actually a necessary one. I am here speaking on behalf of 5,000 of our members. 1462 who happen to lead live in the excelsior district thats see the crisis every day, but nothing is being built. Not with any former supervisors that have been in the district. As a gentleman that spoke before me said so eloquently, nothing has happened in the district it has been forgotten to be able to have anything built there. No project is perfect. I am here asking you to please support the project of 65 ocean. Not only will allow workers to have wages that are done with dignity and you can provide for your families but the ugliness comes out of nativism for people coming from tracy. These are families that were mowed out to tracy, moved out to stockton, moved out of San Francisco because of affordability. The task you have and what you will be remembered on as commissioners is being able to have these projects go up so that families can remain and San Francisco. Again we are here in support of this project. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. I just want to share my experience growing up in i grew up in the Mission District, but because of gentrification and i have been forced out of the city that has raised me and to be honest i am very exhausted and im moving further and further away from my community. The same community that continues to be under attack by violent displacement projects like 65 ocean. Im here demanding that you did 65 ocean so no more of the working class families dont go through what i have been through where continues the cycle of displacement. This Housing Development does not reflect the needs and capacity of these families. Nine out of 193 units are family sized. I demand a stop to 65 ocean. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. I am theodore randolph. I grew up in the excelsior crowded housing. I disagree with this eir appeal on almost every point. I still live in the excelsior. I bike on ocean avenue, i am still supportive of this project. Acting like theres a recklessly large amounts of market rate housing i think a thousand units is too few. I feel that my experience growing up and crowded housing was because there was not enough housing in the excelsior. They act like this would bring gentrification here. The gentrification is already here. The existing homes are selling for close to 2 million now. These are the people that are here now today. We need to build more market rate housing to reduce the gentrification pressures on the existing housing. They act like this is only working class family neighborhood. Now im living with roommates in a singlefamily house all of us roommates because there is not enough singlefamily here either. That house could have been for a family, but we had to have a place to live where displacing a family by all of us living in the house. Emphasizing family only, that is continuing long term, decades of unjust discrimination against single workers. I noticed that many were key class people of color are supporting this project. The argument that they dont is wrong. I think this is also, the argument that this is against the neighborhood plan. No. This property was exclusively not part of the plan area. We need to move faster. And approve this project. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I am a mother of two children and i joined this because my landlord was harassing me. I live on ocean avenue, and i can see first that theyre going to be 121 parking spaces. I saw two accidents. My and i saw two people dying on ocean avenue. Bringing all this parking space is outrageous. Another thing is, a low percentage is going to be for families. These people, its just doing one bedroom luxury, kind of condos. Families, you know, i start living in ocean, 16 years ago with my husband. Fortunately, my husband for immigration reasons how to leave the country. Right now, i can see is like you do one bedroom, and then you dont have kids, you move out of town to start a family. That is not my case, i am raising my kids in my small apartment with one bedroom. Thinking of families is like if youre going to have two kids and i have a boy and a girl, you need at least three bedrooms to live like this. Also, the rent control, thank god for rent control im still able to support my family and my children. I live a couple of blocks from city college. Please try to increase the percentage of Affordable Housing for true really families. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is alex. I stay at 491 31st avenue. There was a time when those buildings, and their program was fixed. [inaudible] you had a chance to get section eight. I wanted to get this chance, and many years, maybe five years i look. [inaudible] at the beginning of this month, i visit the authority. [inaudible] i was working in the United States 16 years. Last year i get heart attack. I need someone that can help me. And i have the chance. Do me a favor. Once again my name is alex. I appreciate. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners. [inaudible] this is a luxury program. [inaudible] thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners. I am a Community Organizer and i live and work in the excelsior district. I actually live a few blocks away from 65 mention and that is why i am here today. I know the majority of the residents are working families. The project that has been proposed at 65, the majority are studios and one bedroom units. This project does not meet the needs of my community, the community i love. This project is only proposing nine units that are accessible to families. This is not enough. It is your duty and our responsibility to do the right thing. Allowing the construction of 65 ocean would only displace my familys. The families that i know in my neighborhood that i can go buy every day and say hello. We know each other. We like to live in our community. Yes, lets keep jobs for our brothers and sisters that are here today. Lets keep the jobs even for them to live in those units. Housing that is going to be 100 affordable so they can do their job that actually get to live in the city. I am here and strong opposition to 65 ocean. I ask you to please deny the permit. We need a project that is 100 affordable to the people that live, work, play, and pray in my community. I ask you to please do the right thing by denying the permit. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello, commissioners. My name is james i work for Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco. We are a Tenant Rights Organization that works citywide. Im here to advocate an urge that we have seen how luxury Rate Development squeezes the most vulnerable tenants in our communities. Based off the housing balance report, district 11 has lost 398 rent units in the past ten years. Those are rentcontrolled units which are affordable units that usually are in the hands of low income, workingclass, low term residents are lost because of speculation pressure. When you build luxury Rate Development and do not ensure its 100 affordable. You are not just creating a space that is only for the high and come in our communities, but youre also creating pressure that will push out that is something that is important to acknowledge. If you are going to offer this permit, what youre actually doing to this neighborhood. Who are you saying is allowed to live there . Who will be faced with further harassment . [inaudible] how are people supposed to live in that type of environment . I urge you to deny the permit, support 100 affordability, and reconsider the impact of how Luxury Development impacts rentcontrolled units which i hope the Planning Department is committed in protecting. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. My name is evelyn. I am a Community Organizer and student at the university of San Francisco. Communities are causally being displaced in the city. As a daughter of a single mother i have lived in apartments that are uninhabitable, unaffordable and unwelcoming. What, i mean, by that is low income, Minority Community and affluent city. This project is not consider the community as it showed and his claim. You cannot claim to help the community if there is a lack of low income units for the whole income it whole community. Please deny the project. We want 100 Affordable Housing for the community. Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you. Next speaker, please. [speaking spanish] good afternoon. My name is giovanni. I am here to make this petition. I live in the excelsior district. One person came to talk with the community. [speaking spanish] it was like a joke to us, because he offered nine units of workingclass people. And the supervisor of the excelsior. [inaudible] [speaking spanish] we want to get involved because we cannot afford expensive housing in San Francisco. We do not want luxury housing like 65 ocean. Before you make a project you should consult with the community. [speaking spanish] studied the needs and study the needs. For example, to make and apartments. There are people in the community that live alone. [speaking spanish] i hope that our older communities, in all of the district in San Francisco wake up. We cannot pay the cost of living. It is very high in San Francisco. I think it is in your hands and within your grasp. [speaking spanish] we dont want any more homeless on the streets. Please. This is a bad example for our children, our grandchildren. [speaking spanish] we want a society that lives decently for San Francisco, but for the whole town of San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is amy. Im a civic organizer. I just want to show you a little bit about what my life looks like. I live in the neighborhood. I work in the neighborhood. I work with a lot of immigrants. I do immigrant related services in the neighborhood. We have a lot of families who are workingclass. Have more than numb to hike 4 jobs who live in basements in the excelsior with mold growing on the wall. The walls are sweaty because of the living conditions. People need more affordable units in the neighborhood. We have so many families who are being pushed out of the neighborhood, or who have to live in one bedroom apartments with over two families. This is not the way we should be supporting our immigrant families and our workingclass families in the neighborhood. Out of all of the units, only nine are going to be family sized. How many of us have you seen already in here coming to talk to you all. There is more than nine of us. Are you going to house all of us . We live in the neighborhood. Are you going to house us with this . It does not work for our neighborhoods. We are here to demand, and i ask that you deny this permit. We need a project that is affordable so the people that actually live in our community. We want you to engage with us. A lot of those families im talking about and i see who have Health Issues because of where they have to live, they they are at work. They are picking up the kids. They are working those 23 jobs to be able to pay rent for next month. Think about that when you are thinking about what choice youre going to make. A lot of families that are not living in great conditions right now in the neighborhood. We can make that change. But we need your support. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. [speaking spanish] good afternoon, commissioners. I organize im sorry. [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] the tenants have been mistreated by their landlords. Weve talked about not only the rights of the tenant with the rights that they have a citizens. It will not benefit this community. [speaking spanish] it is going to be a mystery to these neighborhood families. There is going to be more displacement to mr segregation of these families. Because once the landlord cmr luxury building being an established they are going to see they can raise our rent and we will displace other people that are in there right now. I am asking you to please see that this project from 65 ocean is going to create more problems than benefit for our community. You can see like you have been seeing, accessible units for our families the ones in the community. What do you think is accessible to us . There is not going to be enough room for the families for more than one child. I am requesting for you to deny permit because they do not understand our community. They do not understand us. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. I just wanted to say, excelsior is mostly people of color, secondgeneration. I think putting a condo there, especially luxury housing condo does not make any sense. It is not for the community. None of us can afford it. That is why im saying, if you could please deny this permit and please give us one so you can help the community. So we can thrive and stay here and live here. San francisco is our home and we want to live here for a good time. Thank you. Think you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Sixtyfive ocean is bad for our community because it takes a lot of San Francisco natives and relocates them to places they dont want to go, or be. Yeah, it will like have people go to places they dont want to, and the apartments in their are not space for families of five or more, and it will just throw everything out of um focus for working families. We demand that you deny this permit. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is carl and i work for usm and the contractual network. We work for the mission and excelsior communities. I want to take a moment and highlight and make sure we understand how we are reviewing this right now. It is to support a fair argument that the project could have a Significant Impact on the environment. Not that it does. I do believe they have carried that burden of proof buried there is a fair argument that this project could have a significant Environmental Impact upon localized excelsior where it will be built. To approve this environmental report as it has been written would be negligent. I would have you referenced page seven of the environmental report where they mentioned an Impact Review where they mention 274 units. If you calculate the units and that quartermile radius there are 476 units. This department reviewed this cumulative impact and that over 40 of the units, in the project vicinity, were not included in the analysis. It could have a Significant Impact on the environment and the motion should be made to have further review of these impacts. Furthermore, i think the same thing was done with the Environmental Review with regard to the impacts and vehicle miles traveled. Lanning failed to properly assess similar impacts. The assessment of the report, only reviewed the impact of the current proposed project in isolation. Without looking at the potential community of impacts that are within a quartermile radius. What danger that could have. It was this department that passed all of the Development Projects along the valencia corridor. There is an increase of injuries along the valencia corridor. Especially with the significant increase for a residents to use them in high demand. All of which who could have been prevented with proper study and planning. Utilizing old data can make up for new changes that have come to the environment is not sufficient. I would say please, they have carried the burden of proof and made the argument. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners. Im antonio diaz. We have been working on land use and Community Planning issues for 25 years. For the last 15 years in excelsior. It is interesting to reflect how in the recent 2020 report your Planning Department they stated that the mission is a neighborhood in the stage of late gentrification as defined by uc berkeleys urban displacement project. By late gentrification they mean at the stage where with low income to moderate income families overwhelmingly are being replaced by high income individuals. They stated in the report, the Planning Efforts in the mission did not fully anticipate the affordability crisis in recent years and the pace of growth occurring now and expected to occur in the near future. I would actually quibble with that statement. A lot of us have been here at Planning Commissions raising concerns about the impacts of Luxury Development in the mission and the displacement that would ensue. By the Planning Department designated designating the mission as being in the stage of late gentrification. I would say that they would agree with us. As you heard earlier, specifically the area where this project is located is an area, once again, by the displacement project as being real displacement. I urge you to make decisions that will not exacerbate these displacement pressures, gentrification pressures, that are affecting the excelsior. I ask you to deny this project and support communitybased planning for the 100 Affordable Housing residents in the neighborhood. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. Good afternoon. My name is letizia asp and emma housing lead organizer. I live off of capital and ocean avenue. Im here to ask the Planning Commission, ask you all, to deny the permit for 65 ocean. We need a project that is affordable to the people that live in the excelsior and surrounding neighborhoods like myself. Sixtyfive ocean is a majority luxury project, no
