00:00:01.340 - 00:00:44.190

Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Okay. A lot of head wagon going on there. Well, that's the way we well, as you can see this is the first real positive move that's been made in Hunter's Point. A long time. Some of

00:00:44.190 - 00:01:01.050

the tendency of the Hunters Point tenants union, well, all of them decided that we've done, we waited long enough for the housing authority to started alleviating some of the grievances we had. So we started to paint job about our own, contracted with painter to come out

00:01:01.050 - 00:01:20.700

and do want the buildings and see what it would look like. And about in the middle of our project, officials from the housing authority came down and told the people that were doing the painting, they were trespassing and that they were doing it illegally. So to

00:01:20.700 - 00:01:33.980

protect themselves, they had to get out of the area in kind of a hurry. Now these were people that you had contracted with. The tenants had paid for the paint job to be done and the housing authorities said they had no right to paint the building.

00:01:33.990 - 00:01:49.450

That's right. These uh this was tennis money and we wanted to see. Mhm. What could be done if tenants got together and wanted to see something done? And we this is one of the projects we started on, this is one that you can see and we

00:01:49.450 - 00:02:08.760

can see and visible evidence of what's happening and we got just so far and it had to stop there just this far right, but it's not gonna stop right here, it's going on. This building will be completed. Ah I feel pretty angry about it myself because

00:02:09.240 - 00:02:24.110

I've been living here for about 14 years and I'm just tired of looking at these great green drab colored buildings and I think most of the people here are and if we have to get out here with paintbrushes ourselves and finish this job, we're going to

00:02:24.110 - 00:02:37.580

do it. Do you think that the saN Francisco Housing Authority can back up its demand to make you stop painting these buildings? Well I don't give a hang what they try to do. We're going to go ahead with our project. In fact, right now we have

00:02:37.580 - 00:02:52.780

a lawyer in court following an injunction against them from barring us from doing this and I hope it's favorable. Ah But this is just one of the projects that we've started on. We fact this week there will be an extermination program started on the tenants of

00:02:52.780 - 00:03:04.460

the union has gotten together and contracting and exterminated to come out and exterminate the buildings that tennis live in and they're probably trying to stop that too, you know, but we won't be stopped.
