And have recognized the densities and that the adjoining counties to north and south with a lot of work to do. I think it would be also good to focus this conversation regionally through the terms and lower communities of color and we should have that in an apples to apples way. I was part of the movement to when supervisor kim threatened to annex a nearby city that was unwilling to increase the housing density on vacant land, so lets expand that conversation. So supervisor mar, and i really appreciate everything that you have, and please any closing comments for you, supervisor mar. And what is your will . Thank you so much, chair peskin and supervisor preston for your comments and engagement in this really important discussion. There is a number of very important items to get to so i will keep the closing comments very short. I did want to summarize that my goal today was emphasize the importance of data and who is the housing for and are we prioritizing and addressing the Housing Ne
[indiscernable] it is between high density housing and shopping and so forth. That hasnt happened. The commercial district is taken up by expensive condos. A few units that are affordable. Those would be gone. I would very much like to speak to supervisor peskin about it. I will mention the only project recently that i know of was the one that i proposed and the Mayors Office of housing agreed and david baker and everybody was hot to trot. That was the project supervisor peskin tried to save by landmarking. He was no longer in office and david chu were not interested in a Senior Housing project. They tried to find Affordable Housing initially and reducing the price but didnt think there were any. Operator thank you. Next speaker, please. Caller i am a Research Analyst and one of the things my job touches on is asking that the community evaluate what kinds of jobs is given Hotel Development might bring to the community and how those jobs will correlate to the ability of those workers to

Our overall Housing Production targets. We have struggled in the past coming in with less than half of this number of affordable units as well as lower level of production of housing overall. I wanted to add that we did not exam whether these targets were the perfect targets or acknowledging we have struggled to meet these targets in the past. We wanted to look at policy and investment to allow us to meet these at minimum and leave that discussion open to the public and policymakers about whether different targets should be pursued in the future. One of the key policy issues we explored was where new housing would be added and what it would look like. Initial analysis showed that we do need to add additional capacity for housing to be able to sustain the level of production at 5,000 units over the 30 year timeframe. What this map that you are looking at shows is our past reductions since 2005 in pink. The pipeline is shown in hollow circles. It is on the east side around downtown and a
We do as a city, as you all know, have an obligation for affirmatively fair housing. This developers have bottom lines to deliver for investors. They can be pressured to provide affordable minutes to make concessions regarding labor practices.

When we are having the neighborhood around 80 of the units unaffordable to working class units disproportionatesly available to white folks. We are taking steps backwards. I appreciate your work on this. We are in a point of urgency on so many fronts. Thank you for your time put into this. I appreciate it. This is one of the most robust discussions i have had and i want to thank Planning Department staff for signaling a new direction. Thank you, miriam and your colleagues. I want to say a couple things. One of them is a policy desire. I think it is low hanging fruit. I mentioned it earlier. Historically when we wante
