We dont have a special source of funds for public sites. We dont separate funds for that purpose. Some of the sites we just did an r. F. Q. For nine sites last week. Three site came to us to purchase by the city. Five of us came to us via land dedication. Were under pressure and we want to develop those as well. We have a long queue. Its not always possible even if the site were able to support a larger number of units. Its just not possible given the funding that we have. I would also add that this year, for the first time, state of california is awarding taxexempt bonds and 4 tax credits on a competitive basis. This is a new practice and its potentially to our pipeline. It may result in projects having to go on ice for a little while until funds are available. Its really much more of a subjective project and point in time process. Supervisor preston part of what i hope to accomplish is demystifying some of this. There are a set of decisions being made along the way. When you indicate
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.

In the city and county department will also embrace this. So thankfully the balboa reservoir project heard us loud and clear from the Community Members and will be a reflection of the desire to retain, attract and nurture the next generation of san franciscans. The project will have two and three bedroom units and other amenities including open space play areas a child care facility and indoor and outdoor common areas for events. Overall i believe the project is thoughtful and includes many of the elements and that the community is able to see if two acre park that will be central to the project and pedestrian walkways and bike lanes connecting the neighborhoods to ocean avenue corridor. Complimentary design to reflect the existing neighborhoods and to promote existing businesses and with the commercial district and we are work on fine details of the neighborhood and Community Stakeholders to improve the project further and to have clarity.

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.
