Is in support of the project.

Project will be a wonderful asset to the City of San Francisco.

We (have not been and) are not the greedy, money hungry, evil businessman, and neighbor for the past 34 years. This project is not displacing anyone. This project is good for the Mission.

This project is reasonable for an empty site. It provides safety, beauty and housing.

This project will be a positive thing for the neighborhood.

Respectfully asked the Commission to approve the project. This project will bring jobs and an opportunity to many people to own property in the City.

Opposed to the project.

Gave an overall description of the project.

Mission Agenda is adamantly opposed to this project. Despite the Dot.com boom and bust, hundreds of working Latinos were displaced and/or evicted. Despite the lost of PDR jobs, despite the desperation of family housing, this struggle continues.

- Opposes the proposed project.

Asked the Commission to make the following modifications to the proposed project: 1) we need larger overall units (2 to 3 bedrooms); 2) need deeper affordability, 60% of median income does not met the needs of our community. We need more like 40% of median income; 3) we want to see that affordable units will remain affordable for the life span of the building.

Respectfully asked the Commission to approve affordable housing for low-income, hard working people in the Mission District.

Opposed the proposed project unless they include more affordable housing.

We need more affordable housing for families with children.

I am here to support that this project include more affordable housing. My family has a very limited resources and I am a sick person.

The Planning Commission should be aware of the necessity of affordable housing that matches the needs of hard working people in the Mission.

Oppose the project because the Mission District does not need more over priced one-room apartments. The Mission is very family oriented and needs more affordable 2 to 3 bedroom apartments.

Asked the Commission to work with the people of the Mission and do not approve the project.

This project does not fit in the neighborhood. It won't benefit anybody that lives there.

Opposed to the project.

Objected to this project because it does not fully address the very obvious need of affordable family housing.

Supports affordable housing for working class families.

Opposed the project.

Asked the Commission to not take away affordable housing for the people of the Mission.

Opposed the project.

Please help the people of the Mission District that have been suffering for so many years.

This housing project is out of our reach. People of the neighborhood could never afford to purchase any of these units.

Asked the Commission to look very seriously at what affordability means? Asked for more family affordable units.

This is an inappropriate site for housing.

Opposed to the proposed project because it is inappropriate and insensitive to construct extremely unaffordable housing in a neighborhood that is already in need for affordable housing.

Opposed the project because it is a human right to have housing. Many families had to leave the City because of the lack of affordable housing.

These units are going to be marketed to people who work at the Bank of America, to doctors who work in the Bio-techno company around of it. We need some housing that is marketed to people who live in the Mission. MOTION # 1: Approve as modified by Commissioner Feldstein
