our job in the city and county of san francisco is to maintain the housing stock in san francisco and that's where we are coming from. again you you bought a 3-unit building, not a single family home. that is just a fact. actually it's rh 3 and you changing the form isn't condonding. >> it was originally constructed as a 2 story unit. that is what is the prevalent for construction. if this is where we've gone from the 50s to the 60s which had a high incidence of families and lowest in california and possibly united states. so by not allowing larger units to be created because we are not building a lot of new houses with larger units, then we are only exacerbating the problem because there is plenty of smaller units being created. i don't agree with the policy, but it's a policy we have to follow. so a continuance is what we have to do. february 6th. is that adequate for the project sponsor to do something by february 6th? >> that would be wonderful. can i ask for a little bit more feedback which is would the addition of an extra bedroom make this feel more approvable. is there any fee
