notice, clear notification so we all know what s happening and when we can register our thoughts. we want one appeal, not two or three or four appeals. people who are working people who have families don t have time to come to multiple hearings. do it. and then finally, we think it s only fair to prohibit appeals. the very end or particularly in some cases in the middle of construction, that is simply not fair. san francisco is the only city in california that uses such complex and confusing procedures. this clearly is not going to hurt ceqa because other counties and cities have similar processes. let s make it clear. are we so special that we have to be bureaucratic and wasteful? i think not. this legislation doesn t take away the right to appeal any planning decision instead it strengthens noticing requirements. thank you very much. thank you. before we get to the next speaker, i just want to call a few more cards. anthony urbina, pat scott, hiroshi fakuda.
