>> hello everyone i'm san francisco mayor alondon breed and excited to be here with members of the board of supervisor and different commune taiz to talk about the healthy, safe and vibrant san francisco bond! [applause] now, just to give you some perspective, these bonds, the way that our sit ahas been very responsible with the capital plan, we go through a process to insure that our credit rating remains in tact, so as we put out bonds, we retire old debt and are able to take on new debt without raising taxes for san franciscans. that's why these have been so popular, but at the same time, they
5:01 pm
require 2/3 vote, and so in putting this bond together, we wanted to make sure we are meeting some of the city most pressing needs, but after covid, we realized there are a lot more things we need to invest in to insure that our city is vibrant, that our organizations are supported, that our buildings and infrastructure are in tact, and that we are thinking about the future in our economic recovery. so, what does this mean in this particular bond? well, first of all, we should be so happy and excited that laguna honda has been completed recertified! [applause] but it still needs a lot of work. so, we have to take care of laguna honda, we have to do heabat zuckerberg general and have to make sure the clinics in chinatown and city
5:02 pm
clinic have the resources and support they need- [applause] -these are important healthcare assets in our city, and we are so grateful to a number of our department of public health staff and team leads who have been on the front lines doing this work in very challenging conditions. but we haven't stopped there. we have to also continue to focus our work on shelter beds, on housing, and many of the things we have done. since i have been in office since 2018, we increased shelter capacity by over 60 percent. we increased our permanent supportive housing by over 50 percent. [applause] but, we know that just because we have done such a significant investment and made significant changes, the work continues. and that's why having support for our families is critical as we
5:03 pm
start to see family homelessness increase. part of this bond is to help address issues around family homelessness. the other thing it does, is deal with one of the things that people are not very happy about. on a regular basis. san francisco has seen a improvement in our streets and infrastructure, but let me tell you, bikes and cars, running over these potholes, we have to constantly fix our streets. constantly. and so investments in our road and infrastructure and making our streets safer and more efficient is a important part of the bond as well. [applause] but let's be honest, we would not be able to do any of this if we don't focus our time, our attention and resources on our economic recovery. you know, before the pandemic, we didn't have to work for it. people just came here to visit, there were conventions booked out non stop. people loved doing business in
5:04 pm
san francisco and times have changed since the pandemic, so we got to work for it and working for it means we have to make investment in our infrastructure to change. we have to make investment in not only downtown and what downtown is to people who work there, who shop there and live there, but we also have to make changes in our destinations and make them more of a vibrant destination in addition to improving our infrastructure, which is why i'm excited about harvey milk plaza. [applause] this coalition of folks who are joining us here today are people who represent a lot of what we need to do in order to move san francisco in the right direction. we are all on board to get this work done for the city and move us towards real change in the future. it will take all of us and right now the board of supervisors committee will be hearing this bond for the first time
5:05 pm
and we are hopeful that all of you that are joining today will go and testify and talk about the significance. this again, is about san francisco, the economic recovery, the vibrancy and, the public health addressing the challenges san franciscans want to esoomore and moving the city towards the future and i couldn't be more excited and proud we are here today and seem to have a lot of consen census but nuthsing is taken for granted. we have to get through the finish line at the board of supervisors. we have to get it on the ballot and we to get voters to support it. this is a long road between now and november, which is why partnership is so critical to the success of this bond and at this time, i want to introduce my partner in this effort, the president of the board of supervisors, aaron peskin. [applause] >> thank you mayor breed.
5:06 pm
this is what consensus looks like. this is what happens when we all work together for the public good and the public interest. fundamentally, this is a public safety bond, because investing in public health, investing in homelessness is all about public safety. and if you think about what we learned four years ago where san francisco did a job of combatting the covid-19, this is the lessens that we learned. we have to invest in our public health frublth. fribltb. infrastructure. i want to thank dr. colfax and capital planning committee who came together and remember the lessens of
5:07 pm
covid. i want to thank mayor breed and today i want to go to budget appropriation committee and add $10 million specifically for public health to this bond and that is the result of working together. [applause] it is 132 days until the election and guess many up here have our differences, but we are all together on this bond, and we have made a promise that this will not raise anybody's property taxes, nor will it raise your rent if you are a tenant and we pass laws to insure that that were passed unanimously by the board of supervisors, but we still need to get to 2/3 of the electorate. that is a big hill to climb. when we put aside our commitment and have shared commitment and enthusiasm the voters vote as they did for the affordable housing bond in march by well over the 2/3 majority
5:08 pm
required. we will set aside our differences and all work together to get the bond passed. the very smart good people of san francisco want to invest in public safety and public seft and over the next 132 days we are going to get that message out. thank you mayor breed. [applause] >> i'm supervisor dorsey and express gatitude to mayor breed and president peskin for a bond measure that that well do important things. this is smort capital investment for our city that speed san francisco comcome back and delivering long-term value for downtown neighborhoods that president peskin and i represent. as a district 6 supervisors, i know very much from the businesses employers i hear from, how important it is that we invest in downtown
5:09 pm
neighborhood, as this bond will do because it powers or econe amand come back. it is essential and wise prudent investment for city vibrancy and unlike some speakers today, my name isn't on a ballot. i can promise you this, i will be out there campaigning just as hard as if my name were on a ballot, because what this bond does is that important. now, i represent district 6, but as the gay supervisor, i am going to assert gay privilege here and also speak for district 8 and the important memorial of harvey milk plaza. there is a important investment there that is incredibly important to the lgbtq plus community not just in this city, but actually that is something important for the lgbtq community nation wide and world wide. we are a city that elevated a leader that people around the world looked up to and it is incredibly important what we are doing for harvey milk
5:10 pm
plaza and part of the reason this is so close to my heart and why i fight so hard for the. let's continue to fight for this. i have not mentioned the important things that this is going to do for public health, because there is somebody much more qualified then i to address that, so welcome dr.--from zuckerberg general hospital. [applause] >> thank you so much. hello and good morning. my name is--i'm a proud emergency physician at zuckerberg san francisco general hospital. grateful to be up here with many city leaders and a number of my colleagues from the department of public health. on this beautiful day on the steps of our beautiful city hall. proud to work for a city committed to accessible high quality healthcare. our network of clinics and hospitals are truly unparalleled.
5:11 pm
each year we serve over 150 thousand people in dph facilities. that is a incredible number. this care includes receiving life saving emergency services, having your baby delivered. it includes recovering and rehabbing from a hip replacement surgery or living with dementia in a long-term care unit at laguna honda hospital. it includes hiv screening and prep prescriptions at city clinic and include seeing your primary care doctor to get back to school immunization, substance use recover aservice or eye exam. but, our infrastructure is aging and many of our facilities are over a hundred years old. we must fix the aging and deteriorating infrastructure to continue to deliver high quality care. moreover, many of the improvements addressed in the bond will help meet
5:12 pm
basic regulatory requirements. imagine laguna honda without air conditions on a hundred degree day where we need to move hundreds of patients or san francisco general losing the trauma 1 certification because the fire alarms don't work or the sewage leaking from old pipes, or imagine city clinic, a leader in sexual health service out of operation because the heating system fails. that actually already happened this past winter. or imagining visiting your local health center like the chinatown health center which looks more and more like a run down shed then a place to go and heal. we have an amazing system and honored to part part of and model for the nation but critical part must be addressed for san franciscans to continue to receive the highest quality
5:13 pm
care. the bond rill renovate and expand services of the chinatown public health center, the most seismically unsafe. intrest $28 million to require a new facility. bond will support key repairs adding 65 thousand square feet of seismically safe space and doubling our capacity in our psychiatric emergency service. insure certifyation and meeting regulatory mandate saidism public health has been here before and thanks to san franciscans we delivered. we built our renovated 4 community clinics, maxine hall, the southeast family south centerx castro mission health center and maria x. we created state of the art facility so
5:14 pm
our community can continue to thrive. i want to thank the leadership of mayper breed, san francisco board of supervisor and all dph colleagues committed to making san francisco a healthier, safer and more vibrant community for generations to come. thank you so much. [applause] >> my name is brian springfield, ecective director of friends of harvey milk plaza. the evening of november 27, 1978, on these very steps, harry brit made a promise to the people that marched from castro and market street by candleloathe and told them some day there will be something special in the city and it will have haerfby milk's name oen it. 46 years later and about this close to see the promise fulfilled. at last, the coalition of communities that harvey loved and fought for has
5:15 pm
come together and coalesed support around a vision for lifting harvey milk and civil rights movement in san francisco. i'm incredibly proud of the commitment made to engage the grassroots of the community and process of developing what we refer to as the memorial at harvey melic plaza because there is already a harvey milk plaza but it doesn't represent who he was and what he stood for and community to gather and all the hard work to be done to insure lgbtq civil rights and all civil right for all marginalized communities. it is because of all this good faith engagement with the community that the project now enjoys broad support from a raisk of organizations in the neighborhood and in the city. so, i commend mayor breed for her long standing support and vision for
5:16 pm
the harvey milk plaza project and including funding for this important city project in the healthy safe and vibrant san francisco bond. [applause] also, i'm overjoyed by the resemgz the project rvled as we met with the offices of each supervisors over the past several weeks. two supervisors aaron peskin and supervisor safai came out to walk the site and talk about improvements to castro muni station and ada compliance upgrades funded by the bond measure and this is the investment and infrastructure improves to make possible the features. finally, there will be a space that lifts harvey's message of hope and action and tell the story of other contributors to lgbtq civil rights movement. so, i look forward to the
5:17 pm
november when the voters have a chance to support the project and see there is something special with harvey milk's name on it. thank you. [applause] >> good morning everybody. i love the san francisco weather. when i got here, it was phrasing and now freezing and now sunny. my name is trish gump, a organizing with kid san francisco and also a mom of two teenagers who grew up riding bikes and take transit to get to school and move around the city. the independence was vital for wellbeing and mental health so i volunteer for organizations such as kids safe to advocate for safe streets for all children and all people in san francisco. everyone should be free to move around the city safely using their transportation mode of choice.
5:18 pm
i strongly support mayor breed's healthy vibrant bond measure that invest in our street infrastructure. over 1 million people travel around san francisco every day. too many lose their lives or severely injured on our streets. this bond will improve our roads prioritizing the safety of people, pedestrians, cyclists, people with mobility challenges and motorists by investing in safer sidewalks, crosswalks and street and reducing driving speeds. importantly, the healthy vibrant bond aligns with city policies such as transit first, vision zero, climate action and safe streets initiatives all focus reducing traffic crashes, promoting equity and protecting our city and future generations.
5:19 pm
thank you mayor breed and board of supervisors for supporting this bond measure. san franciscans deserve safer streets now. thank you. [applause] >> good morning. my name is lauren ellis, the very proud owner of ck contemp rear a art gallery on powell street. i moved to san francisco at 21 and took my firs job on geary street. this year i celebrated 20 years of working in the heart of union square, including the last 11 years of the small business owner. [applause] in late 2019, i signed a lease to move my gallery from geary street to powell. i made the decision because at that time, powell was the gold standard. it was the bustling vibrant heart of the city economic core and the best place in san francisco for a business
5:20 pm
like mine to expand and thrive. unfortunately in the devastating after effect of covid-19 we never had the chance to experience the reality. instead rkts i opened my doors in august of 2020 and spent the last four years grappling with a very different version of my beloved powell. one where it long standing businesses around us shuttered, cable car empty and office workers disappeared. at present, we are one of the few businesses that held on, but the surrounding vacancies caused foot traffic to plummet along with sales and our ability to fully support our staff and our incredibly talented artists. i see glimmer of home for restored powell around me in the beautiful blooms that grace our hotels and cable cars. in local gathering to enjoy tyler florence cafe in the square. new nin tendo store coming soon and
5:21 pm
international language spoken in the square. but there is so much more i know with we can and really need to achieve. this is why i'm here today to voice my support to mayor london breed's bond measure. serve as a much needing lifeline to insure powell street and union square become hubs for tourist and locals alike. i believe strongly the mayor comprehensive strategy to create lively public space, invigorate store funt and enhance downtown safety attract visor its to support our beautiful neighborhood and provide the asmus fear mall businesses like my deeply depend on. vacant to vibrant to initiative and increased security are crucial for foster community and safety and encouraging people to secure and engage with the city most iconic destination whether they live here, work here or visiting for the first time. these initiatives are not only
5:22 pm
about economic recovery, also about restoring the soul of the city. powell is always more then a shopping destination, it is a gateway to union square and often provides the first impression of our city to tourist and business travellers. revitaling the area gives a chance to change the negative narrative those who are there day to day are constantly forced to push back gaens. i'm proud of my city and it is time to share the very best version of ourselves again. let's greet nay sayers with a corridor that is safe, flourishing and filled with local business like mine synonymous can san francisco as a cultural hub where people come together to appreciate art, enjoy dining, and connect with one another. i have invested in powell street with my time, with my own dollars, and my commitment to what i know in my heart it has the potential to be again and i am thrilled and thankful mayor breed is committed to doing the same. with her vision and these funds
5:23 pm
i'm confident we can transform powell street back into the thriving dynamic place i once knew it to be and very much need it to be again. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you lauren and thank you to all of our speakers that joined us here today. i also like to acknowledge some of our various department heads and folks who have been actively engaged in the process with the capital planning committee and starting with our city administrator, thank you carmen chui for all your work. >> [applause] >> thank you dr. grant colfax, department of public health. thank you to serene mcfadden, director of the department of homelessness and supportive housing. [applause] and thank you to zuckerberg general ceo dr. susan-- [applause] and to all of our speakers and all of
5:24 pm
the folks joining us here today, this is going to take all the different people, the friends groups, the community. there is something in this bond for not just everyone, but this is really about the health and safety in our economic recovery in san francisco, so we need all hands on deck to get it over the finish line and get the job done. it starts with the board of supervisors, so again, i urge many of you who are here today to go up to the committee room, which starts at 10:30 and give public comment to insure that your colleagues, supervisor dorsey, luckily we got supervisor dorsey as well as 7 members total from the board of supervisors who are already committed, but i do think it is extremely important that we send this to voters with an 11-0 vote from the board of supervisors to demonstrate the strength of what this entails. thank you all so much for coming here today.

5:34 pm
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
5:35 pm

5:36 pm
if the sunset had a town square, it would be this magical area that appears every sunday on 37 avenue. the sunset farmer market isn't just a place to get good food and produce, it is where community gathers live music from local musicians and cultural celebrations and [indiscernible] share ideas to shape our city. it really is the place the community comes together to celebrate the best of 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
5:37 pm
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

5:39 pm
chose district 4 outer sunset. it has a small town feel. i love our neighbors. >> the sunset has everything from footwear to hardware. here is great wall hardware, 3500 square feet of retail space. we carry about 22 thousand items and counting. it never stops because i have a thing. when a customer says don't you have this and i don't have it, it 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
5:40 pm
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? we also love pizza from hole in the wall to [indiscernible] hottest restaurants in the sunset tunching vietnamese food [indiscernible] ice cream [indiscernible] this is great highway park. a great place to burn calories on the weekend. i'm here every sunday doing a long run and start with 5 miles and with this ocean view, if it motivates me
5:41 pm
i try for 10. the new york times named great highway park one of 52 places to change the world. it is that amazing and the gem of the sunset and people are finding new ways to activate the space. in halloween it turns into the great haunt way. >> we imagine a future from the part time road close toor to a park to welcome people all ages and activities to our coast. >> since we had [indiscernible] always looking for ways to sort of improve what is already good around us. the neighborhood is great. it will be even better with a park here. >> sunset turn to put a new sign up on our coast. open for all. >> this is the treasure of san francisco and this hasn't been discovered yet. homes are still relatively affordable, there is decent schools and a
5:42 pm
place for kids to have a feeling they can run and play and take part in things. what i'm happy the great highway has become a park for the weekend. i'm glad we share what we have with the rest of the city and people come from outside the city. i'm sure people come from the east bay, and i just feel like, seeing the people out here enjoying this represents the hope for the future. >> imagine the potential of an emerald necklace in the sunset for safe biking and recreation along the green belt of sunset boulevard which connects lake merced with golden gate park and great highway park. quality of life matters and we know how to take care of each other. sunset youth service helps teenagers find purpose and self-help for the elderly let's seniors shine. local artists capture the sunset experience and work is on
