Renters from access to legal help, more will be able to stay in their homes and avoid unfair eviction. Today we will hear initial data from the programs supplementation. And the story that these numbers tell is clear, providing tenants with an attorney stops unfair displacement and gives San Francisco residents a fighting chance when facing eviction.

Do we know how long that process takes and whether public works has that on their list of things to do . Weve had discussions with public works. It is my belief that the first they are aware of this fact, and second it is my belief they plan to incorporate this into the right of way once accepted. There is a little bit of a technical issue, because streets and sidewalks have to be have to meet certain specificatio
