oriented society. when machines and computers profit motive and property rights are considered more important then people. the [indiscernible] racism, extreme materialism [indiscernible] we all need to stand up and denounce any and all persons weaponizing public health and safety as it is killing our citizens, people, friends and families. finally, the [indiscernible] attempting to cover up the deaths at 250 kearney street.

plan to transition the unhoused population into stable housing which utilizes existing resources to insure rapidimplementation. provide pathways to permanent housing and employment opportunities. we'll collaborate with partners for union trades to tech jobs. this plan is a testament to what can be achieved with both being united efforts about creating a city where every person has a chance to thrive, reflecting compassion and justice that define the community that come together to make reality [indiscernible] i will leave a copy of the plan at your offices. thank you very much. >> thank you for your comments. sir, thank you for your comments.

>> welcome, hi. i'm mrs. brown, i like to use the overhead. here concerning my son aubrey murdered 2006 and today his case isn't solved. i go to the police commission every wednesday to bring up awareness about unsolved homicides. this month august 14 will be the i believe 19th anniversary of my son's murder. i don't just fight for my son rfx there are other homicide victims mothers and i come together to bring awareness to unsolved homicides. and to say too that, zero dollars is paid out in a decade for these awards. there is no reward paid out. i come with all of these pictures of unsolved homicides. and i say that, i wouldn't want

to see another mother-this is me standing in front of my son in the casket waiting for the funeral to happen. this is what the perpetrators left me as a mother to -think about every month, every year, every day of my 17 year old boy murered shot 30 times with a semiautomatic gun. i have to climb on poles and put the reward pictures. still no one [indiscernible] versus this face and this vase. they took that beautiful smile away from me, so i don't want-my son existed. he was my son and i'm looking for a permanent street sign or something for my son, because i'm fighting so hard, along with other mothers and

rents. our homes should not be someone else profit margin and investment scheme. is it a surprise of the california apartment association and real estate allies including [indiscernible] joined forces to oppose the justice for renters act? is it any surprise after benefiting from a $329 thousand independent expenditure from big real estate for campaign for higher office in the state assembly, supervisor stefani took a strong stance opposing the resolution, because of her ties to real estate would she be willing to recuse her self-from voting on the resolution. we need the board of supervisors to take a stand for tenants trying to survive in san francisco. rent control keeps people housed and the justice for renters act puts the power back in our local hands. thank you so much. >> thank you for your comments. let's hear from the next speaker, please. welcome.

>> it's been a minute. jesus christ. my name is olga, miranda, the president of local 87 and represent the janitors. i come in front of all of you and i want to thank the board of supervisors for shedding light and really behaving like u.s. senators and congress members during a time we are all vulnerable during the pandemic. you made decisions that were difficult but took care and kept a lot of us alive and i want to recognize that, including our mayor, but i also want to shed light there were ordinances proposed during the pandemic thanks to leadership of this body that was called a healthy building ordinance. our union lost 36 janitors during the pandemic and we find out we were fighting about clean air back then three, four years ago and still fighting. we are at the bargaining table

again. what we are asking this body is for us to have clean air. we are proud in the financial district they have plaques that said, leed certified, green buildings. what it doesn't say it they are environmentally clean buildings up until six pm. i can have all the members stand? [speaking spanish] all our members after 6 o'clock, they clean the buildings and there is no clean air. there is no clean air. there is no proper ventilation and today we are asking you to please help make these changes with building owners. they were able to get millions tax dollar breaks dut nothing including the janitors, we are asking for proper

ventilation and the how much square footage, 30 thousand square feet is what our janitors should be cleaning in one shift, but the work everybody is doing-- >> thank you.

the mta was not invited to the meeting, the parks department was not invited to the meeting, the youth commission was not invited to the meeting. historically, the city paid average of quarter million dollar to pay for police overtime, settlements for breaking people ankles and class action lawsuits underway with regard to last year event 81 miners held without their rights being med [indiscernible] i have urging the city to engage in harm reduction efforts for this. i'm not a organizer of the events. this isn't a permanent event, it is put on my chilless, city money will be spent on this because there has not engagement by the mta as with say 420, fouth of july, halloween to do so. before the meeting i dropped a copy off

at every one of your offices, contact information is on there. there isn't much that can be done between now and this saturday. this isn't event organizing, this is crisis management. children will show up and we need to put services in place such they can be met and welcomed asif is a as possible. last year the police were ready before children showed up with riot gear. peright to assemble. it is legal to ride oo skateboard in public. i ask the city [indiscernible] have a cross departmental meeting tomorrow to come up with a strategy that includes departments including the mta and puts essential things in place in the plan not just the police. thank you. >> thank you. mr. president. >> any other members for general public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed and we'll go to our 2:30 special commendations and colleagues, i read

members and staff. my name is david crom. husband of kim thompson. i have my son kyle and daughter heather over here. i want to thank you for honoring my late wife and your principle is engineer by this proclamation. kim loved san francisco. loved her work, loved her fellow employees. underscored by her 38 years at the city, including beyond her retirement. we her family are honored for this recognition and our loss cannot be lessened, this does give solace and i thank you for that. i also like to say that you should be proud of your extensive staff members that knew kim. as they have been extremely

helpful, thoughtful, professional, considerate and going above and beyond to help her family get over this time. today's environment it is comfortable to know we can pull together to honor a valuable member of the community. again, thank you for this honor of declaring june 29, 2024 as kim marie thompson chrome day. thank you. >> our condolences. >> sorry? >> our condolences. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon. my name is bionca, the president of ispc local 21. also a city worker and resident of district 1 here in san francisco. you can see how much kim

thompson meant to all of us to the families. this is very much a loss that we are all still dealing with and the opportunity that you all have provided to us as a board to heal with each other, with kim's family, to honor all of the work she did for san francisco, we can't sufficiently express our gratitude. we are deeply grateful we have this opportunity to heal together. i first became of kim here in this room in these chambers. i was a innocent rank and file member at the time and kim was here providing public comment to a committee hearing about the misuse of temporary workers. kim always made sure that other people were being taken care of just as she had been provided for. she spent so much of her career

and her union activism making sure that people could have a fulfilling career with the city and county that enabled them to provide for their families. she stood up forever, strong and undaunted against contracting out work that should be done by us, by public servants that serve the public and provide excellent public services. she knew if somebody could land a full time permanent civil service job with the city, the likelihood that person not only being able to have a career with the city, but also served the public stand up against fraud, against corruption, against waste. the likelihood all increases because we have the institutional knowledge and we are dedicated to the people of san francisco. kim was somebody who had a lot in her life, and just extended out to

everybody. you can see here that she was a person who would not never be satisfied. she wanted to bring everybody else up beside her and on the same level as her, so once again, we can't express enough our gratitude that we are able to be here in the chambers that kim loved so much. she moved to san francisco--she is fond of telling some the story. she moved to san francisco the week george mos cone and harvey milk were murdered in the building. she was part of the fabric of the city, and loved the building and loved coming to meetings in city hall and loved being in the chambers and participating in governance and we are proud what kim did for us, what she has done for her family and all san francisco and again,

we are so grateful for this board for giving us the opportunity. thank you. >> thank you for your words. and our condolences not only to kim's family, but to local 21 and the entire city. colleagues if there is no objection we will make the in memoriam from the full board without objection. our condolences. our next special order commendation will be from supervisor dorsey. >> thank you president peskin. colleagues, it is my honor today to recognize a remarkable public servant who's tireless dedication responsiveness to at least one difficult district supervisor and boundless compassion helped to improve the lives of countless san francivpscans through some of the most challenging vulnerability.

david of it department of emergency management is demonstrating professional quaument that eareflect san francisco civic values throughout his career. as supervisor of downtown district that faces a great many challenges, related to public drug use and related harms, i have come to appreciate the sensitivity, humanity and diligence he brings to the vitally important public service role he fulfills for our city every day. david journey in the bay area begain in 1986 when he moved to pursue his passion for social work and public health. in 1991, he earned master degree from uc berkeley and social welfare public health and health education. set the stage for extraordinary public service career. early work as a visiting nurse to patients in hospice care showcase deep compassion and commitment to those in need and it was a experience that appears to have been formative in learning how to serve our city

with empathy, dedication and unwavering drive to make a difference. in 1995, david joined the public health. his expertise quickly lead to promotion as the program director for the direct access housing program in 1999. in that role oversaw care for the most severe and high service users in the behavioral health system, demonstrating ability to manage and support those with greatest needs. he directed transitional youth service. versatility and commitment to serving diverse populations. in 2004 then mayor newsom appointed david the first director of the san francisco homeless outreach team in that pioneering role david visionary leadership instrumental shaping the city approach to addressing homelessness. his work as dph director of special projects further highlighted

versatility in which he tackled issues from hurricane katrina displacement response to sro fires to the h1, n1 outbreak and more. in 2012, returned to direct service working with the direct access to housing program as the director of support services. expertise and street outreach lead to the hethy streets operation center in 2021 where he served as clinical supervisor for encampment resolution team. under his leadership, the team placed thousands of individuals from the city largest and most complicated encampments offering shelter, medical assistance and access to drug and alcohol treatment for those in need. these efforts have been transformative in a relatively short amount of time securing 1945 placements in engagement with just over 5200 individuals. in november 2022, david promoted to director of healthy street operation center, since then lead the

team through 890 operations placing more then 2900 people into housing shelter drug treatment and recovery and residential care from encampments critical support for those who need it most. david expertise and influence also extended beyond his assigned roles. he was instrumental in the launch of such project homeless connect, ems6 and working with individuals facing substance use disorders mental health chalshs and street homeilousness. nearly 30 years of dedication to san francisco are marked not solely by relentless commitment helping crinets and improving our systems to do so city wide. expressing gratitude to david, we would be remiss not to add thanks to his wife of 34 years mary and daughter grace who shared his time and attention with us. in a career that offers very little in the way of free time, david

managed to find enough time to [indiscernible] discipline he practiced 33 years and he is a practitioner of the japanese martial art since 2017. from the many appreciative district 6 residents who values your work david, and on bemalf of a grateful city, thank you for your service and dedication. congratulations on the certificate of honor we are going to give you today, but i first want to invite sam dodge director of street response coordination to express a few words and congratulations to david. [applause] >> thank you board and as you can hear by the history that the supervisor just laid out, david is very unique individual and this is what it takes. in september 2021, many people

were rightfully working from home, very concerned about health conditions and others. david wanted to come back to the street to the front line. he heard the call of duty from city and county of san francisco and he answered the call, just like he did when people were going through the aids crisis, just like he did when we were starting supportive housing in san francisco. just like he did with starting ems6 and others. it has been a real honor to work with david and to have him on the team and you know, he brings his experience and his calm demeanor to all of us in working in very high pressure situations, but also helping the support staff, helping the outreach workers really achieve a higher goal and bringing together a big role from all the different roles to call out favors and to get advice so we

can really approach some of the most difficult situations the city faces at the healthy streets operation center. i will say, it has been a honor. david and i traded places and worked together over 20 years in different roles whether sro fires or in supportive housing or at hsh and this is the first time we really have been able to work closely together and it has been such a honor and i really thank the board for recognizing what a jewel and public service we have with david. without further ado, i will bring david up here for his honor. [applause] >> for some that know me, i hate things like this but i want to acknowledge supervisor dorsey for recognizing my

contribution. in this case, to healthy street operation center, but also i like to thank a dedicated civil servant for city coupty of san francisco coming up on 30 year. i had to chuckle when you mentioned a comment about a supervisor giving me a hard time and i say believe that goes for the entire board. which i don't see as a bad thing. i see that as collaboration. the thing i wanted to highlight is i feel like this is a recognition of my work, maybe a culmination of all most 30 years working for city and county, i have to say it is not a individual endeavor. this is extreme collaboration that ultimately benefits the businesses, the residents, the visitors and first and foremost folks on the street in encampments, tents and vehicles and rv's.

for our ability to get them off the street and into housing shelter and services. it is without support of including all the supervisors, the mayor, multiple departments, i think mary ellen carol is the head of department of emergency management, my boss sam dodge, i think the whole street conditions team that includes wealth of talent and service as well, including lauren, bekka carlton, santiago, [indiscernible] i can't do this work without them. can't do it without the support of all the different departments. we have individuals from department of public works, from mta, san francisco fire, community paramedicine division san francisco pd, rec and park, human service agency, department of

homelessness supportive housing, department of public health, heluna health, heart, the list goes on. this really i don't see as something that i have been able to do myself through my entire career. also a part of multidisciplinary teams but i appreciate the work of everyone in this room and appreciate being recognized for the service i have gladly done for the city and county, which i truly love. thank you very much. >> thank you for your work.

there is actually a student here and parents from my very first year teaching 36 years ago, so that is just meaningful. it reminds of the importance of the partnerships that are necessary in the work of raising children inthe schools. so, i'm so grateful they are here. they embody the spirit of my leadership. with my rhode island work ethics showing up every day somehow was able to inspire a shared vision and enable others to act. remain committed to listening. i think listening is super important and we need to do more that. and all the work partners over the years, we kept a focus on services and instruction for our students first. i just want to close really to all of you with sort of a challenge. you know how i am. not homework, but it is a challenge. so, you do know that sfusd is

in a funky spot now. we are feeling it. falling on hard times. as you remain elected officials in public office i trust you will continue to find the bright spots in the schools and system to build upon. there are many great people and teams doing things in the schools and offices every single day and now more then ever our schools need your support and advocacy and above all, they need champions, so it is time to shift the narrative. putting it on you to help with that and wrap around our public schools. i will say this, july is disability awareness month, so let's get the word out and focus advocacy efforts and at the state and national levels, please continue to advocate for full funding of the individuals with disabilities act and it has been a absolute pleasure to work alongside all of you. supervisor walton, we really do

made by supervisor ronan, seconded by supervisor mandelman. take that without objection. and, on the adoption without committee reference calendar, are there any items that members would like severed? supervisor dorsey. >> sever item 30. >> item 30. supervisor walton. >> item 32. if you can also sever item 33. on the balance of the calendar, item 31, a roll call, please. >> item 31, supervisor mandelman, aye. supervisor melgar, aye. supervisor peskin, aye. supervisor preston, aye. supervisor ronan, aye. supervisor safai, absent. supervisor walton, aye.

to the rule chair for hearing this next week. >> alright. item will be referred- >> second? >> second to refer-second by supervisor melgar. colleagues can we send this to committee without objection ? it will be sent to rules committee. item 32, please. >> item 32, resolution to urge san francisco unified school district superintendant matt wayne and board of education to include clear equity criteria that include the cultural and community significance of school sites in specific neighborhoods asuch as chinatown and tenderloin and neighborhood density walkability in language service and staffing and on-site direct support servicess for low income immigrant and bipoc communities otherwise undercounted for variety of reasons as part of

the decision process. >> thank you madam clerk. colleagues i circulated amendments and believe there are verbal amendments to further expand the addition of bayview hunter point, vis valley to include western addition and mission and there may be more. with that, supervisor walton. >> thank you so much president peskin and thank you for introducing this important resolution. i just want to make sure that this is on record. i do understand that the school district has some tough decisions they have to make, particularly at a time where the district is facing a deficit and declining enrollment. i also understand that there are schools that have never been provided with the appropriate amount of resources and programs that would assist in achieving success rates that all our children deserve. so as a district works to decide how to address the deficit, and decline in enrollment, it is imperative

that sfusd does everything in its power to insure the decision to close merj and remove any school from the community is done with a equity lens and considered the fact that there are so many factors that go into repairing the harm when there is a loss of school site in community. just as the district continues to seek the vote and support of isolated disenfranchise residents when they want to pass a bond, they need to strongly consider the needs of isolated and disenfranchised communities when they make resource and school closure decisions. this resolution urges the district to take all this and to consideration into account as they make these tough decisions and again, i appreciate supervisor peskin for you bringing this up and letting the district know that we want to make sure that they do this in the most equitable way possible and i know i talked to you and your

team about being a cosponsor, but i just want to make sure i note for the record that i like to be a cosponsor of this resolution. thank you. >> it shall be included. supervisor ronan. >> yes. i am wondering if we could add the mission to the list of neighborhoods that should be considered very specifically. if i could just add the mission to the title- >> page 2, line 9. >> that's right. much appreciated. >> we will add to the long title at line 6 and to the whereas at line 9 and i guess as well as at page 2, line 18. >> thank you. breath, all these places we will add

western addition. supervisor preston. >> i was on the roster to simply request that you do what you adjust offered to do. i do want to thank you president peskin for your work on this and also for incorporating the feedback from colleagues on that, and also want to appreciate some of the additions around public housing and sro residents added also. i would like to be added as a cosponsor to this item. >> you will be added as a cosponsor. thank you. so, a motion made by-can we say supervisor ronan, seconded by supervisor preston to add the aformmentioned neighborhoods and without objection and same house, same call, the resolution is adopted as amended.

madam clerk, could you please read the next item? >> item 33, this is motion to state the board of supervisors intention to appropriate approximately $48 million of cost sabeings to restore critical programs serving children, youth seniors families and most vulnerable. >> colleagues, supervisor chan has circulated some amendments to this motion changing the short title and long title to change $48 million to $58 million, and to otherwise make changes in the recitals ■■on page 2 and page 3 and page 4 that have been circulated. i don't believe any of these are substantive and can be voted on today. is there a motion to that effect? motion by supervisor melgar, seconded by supervisor preston.

colleagues, we'll take amendments without objection and pass the motion as amended. same house same call. the motion is approved and with that, madam clerk, are there any in memoria? >> mr. president, supervisor safai asked to be rereferred. certainly. today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals:on behalf of supervisor walton, for the late robert higs ortega. on behalf of supervisor peskin, and on his motion that this be on behalf of the entire board of the late kim marie thompson cromb. >> supervisor safai.

avenues. welcome to district 4! the sunset is a collide scope of people culture and experiences for residents of all ages. we are a beach town, we are a chinatown, and not a town at all. the sunset is home to 80 thousand people and we love our dogs. we live in neat row houses, homes with yards, story book homes and every quirk in between. the sunset used to be sand dunes all the way to the ocean. when the city needed to grow, san francisco's future ran through the sunset. we built rows and rows of housing for a great irish population and welcomed a great chinese population. today home to a gowing number of families from all backgrounds

and the future starts here. >> we chose sunset knauz we love san francisco but during the pandemic we needed more space and more family focused, so that is where we found the sunset. how walkable it is. we live along iving street along where diana's school is our son's day care is. >> our kids and all the kids we knee in the neighborhood are really the future here and we are really excited to live in the neighborhood. we love it so much. >> nina and alex are expecting their first baby and it first leaders of the newly formed sunset community band which bring together musicians of all ages at special events. >> we are about to have our first kid and met so many younger people and so many moving into the neighborhood. exciting to raising our family

the sunset. >> something about it had sunset chinese cultural district is there a lot of opportunities to uplift the chinese voice and chinese people. when you look at the sunset, a lot of think of trees and single family homets and the schools, but there isn't a lot of very iconic locations that people can look at and know they are in the sunset. one thing we are working on is to unveil a new mural in the park by community and as we do more work in the sunset and uplift the unique qualities of the community, we want to do more mural s and spaces that are iconic so the sunset gets a piece of being unique and identifiable. >> a supermarket for everything you need for chinese home cooking and [indiscernible] the rice noodles are so good they are featured in

catherine moss latest novel, [indiscernible] takes place in the sunset. there is a old school menu at the ond mandarin islamic restaurant and a item so spicy they have to warn customers. maybe bobo can neutralize the spice. the sunset has plenty options. try the bars at the beach. we also have the sunset reservoir brewing company and o'briens irish pub. cuisine in the sunset spans the world.

bothers me. i want to have it,s so it is just of those things about owner a hardware store, people expect you to have everything and you to fulfill that need. i like to serve my neighborhood. most businesses you want to buy this or that or eat this or buy the widget. a hardware store is different. people come in and have a problem and need a solution and they are looking for you to navigate them through that problem and offer them products that help them get to where they need to go. people are great. i love this neighborhood. there is different ethnicities here, different cultures here. we all intermingle and mix together and we get along fine and i always like that about this neighborhood. it is just a nice place to be. it is near the beach, it is beautiful and near the zoo and near golden gate park, stern grove. great schools, great parks. whats there not to like?

the sunset experience is pure joy. the sunset is where we will create our best san francisco. join us. . >> (music).

>> the ferry building one of san francisco most famous that as many of 15 thousand commuters pass through that each gay. >> one of the things that one has to keep in mind regarding san francisco is how young the city we are. and nothing is really happening here before the gold rush. there was a small spanish in the presiding and were couriers and fisherman that will come in to rest and repair

their ships but at any given time three hundred people in san francisco. and then the gold rush happened. by 182948 individuals we are here to start a new life. >> by 1850 roughly 16 thousand ships in the bay and left town in search of gold leaving their ships behind so they scraped and had the ships in the bay and corinne woods. with sand the way that san francisco was and when you look at a map of san francisco have a unique street grid and one of the thing is those streets started off in extremely long piers. but by

1875 they know they needed more so the ferry building was built and it was a long affair and the first cars turned around at the ferry building and picking up people and goods and then last night the street light cars the trams came to that area also. but by the late 1880s we needed something better than the ferry building. a bond issue was passed for $600,000. to build a new ferry building i would say 800 thousand for a studio apartment in san francisco they thought that was a grand ferry building had a competition to hire an architecture and choose a young aspiring architect and

in the long paris and san francisco had grand plans for this transit station. so he proposed the beautiful new building i wanted it wider, there is none tonight. than that actually is but the price of concrete quitclaim two how and was not completed and killed. but it opened a greater claim and became fully operational before 1898 and first carriages and horses for the primary mode of transportation but market street was built up for serve tram lines and streetcars could go up to the door to embarcadero to hospitals and mission street up to nob hill and the fisherman's

area. and then the earthquake hit in 190 six the ferry building collapsed the only thing had to be corrected once the facade of the tower. and 80 percent of the city would not survive the buildings collapsed the streets budges and the trams were running and buildings had to highland during the fire after the actuate tried to stop the mask fire in the city so think of a dennis herrera devastation of a cable car they were a mess the streets were torn up and really, really wanted to have a popular sense they were on top of that but two weeks after the earthquake kind of rigged a way getting a

streetcar to run not on the cable track ran electrical wires to get the streetcars to run and 2 was pretty controversial tram system wanted electrical cars but the earthquake gave them to chance to show how electrical cars and we're going to get on top this. >> take 10 years for the city to rebuild. side ferry use was increasing for a international exhibition in 1950 and people didn't realize how much of a community center the ferry building was. it was the center for celebration. the upper level of ferry building was a gathering place. also whenever there was a war like the

filipino war or world war two had a parade on market street and the ferry building would have banners and to give you an idea how central to the citywide that is what page brown wanted to to be a gathering place in that ferry building hay day the busiest translation place world how people got around transit and the city is dependent on that in 1915 of an important year that was the year of our international exposition 18 million living in san francisco and that was supposedly to celebrate the open of panama differential but back in business after the earthquake and 22 different ferry boats to

alamed and one had the and 80 trips a day a way of life and in 1918 san francisco was hit hard by the flu pandemic and city had mask mandates and anyone caught without a doubt a mask had a risk ever being arrested and san francisco was hit hard by the pandemic like other places and rules about masks wearing and what we're supposed to be more than two people without our masks on i read was that on the ferry those guys wanted to smoke their pipes and taking off their masks and getting from trouble so two would be hauled away. >> the way the ferry building was originally built the lower level with the natural light was

used for take it off lunge storage. the second floor was where passengers offloaded and all those people would spill out and central stairway of the building that is interesting point to talk about because such a large building one major stairway and we're talking about over 40 thousand people one of the cost measures was not building a pedestrian bridge with the ferry building and the embarcadero on market street was actually added in and in 1918 but within 20 years to have san francisco bay the later shipbuilding port in the world and the pacific we need the iron

that. as the ferry system was at the peak two bridges to reach san francisco. and automobiles were a popular item that people wanted to drive themselves around instead of the ferry as a result marin and other roots varnished. the dramatic draw in ferry usage was staggering who was using the ferry that was a novelty rather than a transportation but the ferry line stopped one by one because everyone was getting cars and wanted to drive and cars were a big deal. take the care ferry and to san francisco and spend the day or for a saturday drive but really, really changed having the car ferry. >> when the bay bridge was

built had a train that went along the lower level so that was a major stay and end up where our sales force transit center is now another way of getting into the city little by little the ferry stopped having a purpose. >> what happened in the 40 and 50's because of this downturn we were trying to find a purpose a number of proposals for a world trade center and wanted to build it own the philly in a terrible idea objective never gotten down including one that had too tall towers a trade center in new york but a tower in between that

was a part of ferry building and completely impractical. after the cars the tower administration wanted to keep americans deployed and have the infrastructure for the united states. so they had an intrastate free plan the plan for major freeway systems to go throughout san francisco. and so the developers came up with the bay bridge and worked their way along embarcadero. the plans were to be very, very efficient for that through town he once the san francisco saw had human services agency happening 200 though people figure out city hall offender that the embarcadero free was dropped and we had the great free to no

where. which cut us off from the ferry building and our store line and created in 1989 and gave us the opportunity to tear down the free. and that was the renaissance of ferry building. >> that land was developed for a new ferry building and whom new embarcadero how to handle travel and needed a concept for the building didn't want- that was when a plan was developed for the liquor store. >> the san francisco ferry building has many that ups and downs and had a huge hay day
