[speaker not understood] San Francisco, our sanctuary of clean air, nature, beautiful space for our residents, visitors, and particularly our children. The parks need to remain in its preserved state. Even the smallest amount of unnecessary radiation emissions from wifi is unacceptable for our grown children and peg inapt women who fill our parks every day. Industry standards have often been misguided and collected once time gives an accurate picture of the impact on our housing and environment. Our children cannot afford to [speaker not understood] for such correction. And we also ask this question. Do we really want to create an environment where the general public, parents, caregivers are sitting at their computers connecting to the internet instead of connecting with nature and children .

We have some great minds in this chamber. I know if we continue to Work Together and put our heads together, we can come up with something even better that is mo
