A man, almost always a man, and how he vanquished an enemy or conquered a new land that turned out not to be uninhabited, and monuments, that is their goal, that is their purpose. By contrast, murals like this provide a narrative, a much more complete story that often contains the good and the bad of a particular period to remind and critically inform us of this period, or in this case, the imperfect life of our first president. So while i can understand how aspects of murals are really offensive to some people, on a whole, they provide context to the people and times shown, and serve as a reminder of our greatly flawed history in a different way than a celebratory monument does. I also want to quickly address the federal art project and the administration aspect of this discussion. Both were phenomenally successful programs in our history, and it boosted the nations economy when we needed it, and it provided employment for many builders and artisans across the country. We have bridges
With that bit of knowledge, we might be able to better advise the entire board of supervisors. I volunteer president hyland and myself to make sure that we make that appointment to go see you took the words right out of my mouth. So well do that. So the last thing that i have to say on this is that i was going to recommend another mural be either commissioned or competition amongst the students or some other suggestion, so thank you for that, commissioner black. I think its time for this generation to have their say in this continuing story. Can i make a quick suggestion related to that . We live in a very technological time, and news and rumors move very quickly. But heres the teaching moment.

To set a goal of 33 of Affordable Housing in our new production. Under proposition k. To do this, requires a careful balance of both preservation and protection of our existing Affordable Housing which by and large are rentcontrolled units as well as planning for and producing new Affordable Housing. Whether it is through our on site inclusionary policy which we just amended the year, onsite acquisition or through our area plans. Today were holding this hearing and votings on the resolution because part of achieveling this affordable goal is to have accountability and monitor the efforts of city.
