00:00:07.340 - 00:00:23.120

we feel that, uh, the rent money that is paid for this temporary war housing, as it has been called, should be used for the repair and upkeep and maintenance of these homes. And also we feel that there should be other sources uh, sought by city officials,

00:00:23.340 - 00:00:40.390

through which better conditions could be achieved here in this area, A mile or so behind me is where the San Francisco Giants play baseball in $1 million dollar stadium. But here on Hunter's point this many times is where the Children must play in and around the

00:00:40.390 - 00:01:03.320

trash cans of these sagging and wrinkled temporary housing units. Today, the San Francisco Conference on Religion and Race toured these 24 year old buildings and then demanded that the city do something about them. So our main purpose for being here, I think, emphasizing the moral obligation

00:01:03.330 - 00:01:19.540

say a huge amount of money is to get into an area that uh huh runs the gamut from $3,900,000. Which was one suggestion made by one group down to $500,000 which wasn't a suggestion made by another group. Members of the board of supervisors have been discussing

00:02:39.020 - 00:02:44.800

this. The mayor's office has been discussing it and they've been trying to find money for this purpose.
