the south of market community. we are sensitive to any shadowing of a park. a neighborhood park in a section where there are very few, very little open space. and this particular shadowing includes the basketball courts, the children play area, lawns, benches, and i just can t imagine how this commission could permit this type of shadowing in a neighborhood park as someone said before me, this is a matter of principle. we have to stop the shadowing of our public parks. this is not a private park, this is a public park, and it is a needed park and recreation for the south of market community, and particularly the filipino community. i think it will be an insult to this commission to permit this building to shadow the park. thank you. thank you. next speaker. also kevin. go ahead. good morning. if i were to pour you a glass of water, would you see the glass as half full, or half empty? are you an optimist or a pessimist? the point of these questions is to demonstrate that
