and i'll work hard to have them pay into the public common goodwin good so they will, help create a better muni for all workers and doing a great service this corporate cheating and welfare called the tax breaks didn't work it creates a two tier among working people thank you. >> (clapping.) mayor ed lee i believe that our city is more than interested in municipality modes of transportation including bikes and good packets and muni and ryder and other modes i think we ought to support all those efforts to the doing everything we can and put together transportation 2030 to look this and see when the city needing and they've articulated for the city not only a vision but ways

to get to the transportation but we do nooes need infrastructure money i'm a true believable in making sure we extend the central subway to affairs we need have more subway systems and the second bart tube and caltrain electric if i had and the federal government and state governments from cap & trade to more transit infrastructure monies (clapping.) thank you very much. >> mr. martin. >> that's great to hear actually transportation is my passion for the last ten years on the boards of san francisco san francisco transit ryder's and moving as we see the development happening in san francisco we really have not not keeping pace with the transportation 40 years ago every single building in san

francisco has to be putting money both creating the transportation office of the city administrator offsets that we're going to create the problem we've seen in development in san francisco is the development itself is happening two us not by us so what happens from that, we here on behalf of the appellant, you know, we'll say no we don't like the developments and transportation is much is a critical discussion i can't talk about in a minute that goes throughout the city and region and growing transportation we need to ask him to make that happen and i met my everyone first serious girlfriend on muni i love muni it is using mass transit and money not like us and exercise how to be a neighbor muni is wonderful place and terrible place there is a lot of reasons but i think more

recently that as suggested so many cars on the streets here and part because of rooirpdz people come from la to be and worker here taylor dollars dba got to be a way for ryder and regulate who is driving here also i think if we put a higher calorie on the google buses we'll put that money into muni and make the transportation system better (clapping.) thank you ms. whites eyes when bernie sandra's becomes our next mayor we need an, sir for the buses there are exciting plans how we can integrate the needs of people who live and work in san francisco with the people that are going down the peninsula create pollutions that work for

everyone instead of the go tier system we need an environmental impact report for the tmcs and uber and lyft their sxhej and ridiculous that taxi drivers have to endure with the regulations that are out on them they're not being placed think is tmc the current administrations capitulating the huge corporate interests. >> thank you. >> we want to get in as many questions if you could hold our applause until the ends mr. graham. >> everything i do in terms of the mayor's office will be for the advantage of san franciscans that live here now i'm so interested this what is going to happen in thirty years the transportation system and the high speed rail that all has to come everything he do on the

agency get phone call on homelessness to put together housing and sustained housing for all. >> thank you very much. (clapping.) >> mr. martin. >> homelessness is a really big issue in san francisco and continuing to rise the last sort of 3 administrations have talked about how to solve homelessness but we have not seen that attempts to pickup people in helicopters and shift them off to the bay area to what we have now the on the navigation center is an interesting model some of the other folks an interesting idea for sarpgs and necessities for folks in the at the there are a lot of ways we need to be tangibly the problem of homelessness in san francisco the first to treat everyone with respect and take the housing

first policy housing can only be within the city limits something on a regional level and look at it how we can manage housing in the in fill and get people into the places and work with the services to get them back inform the society. >> thank you. >> mr. severing man. >> roughly 10 thesis policy on the streets in and roughly airbnb rentals. >> i'm just saying (laughter) but i live in selma my neighbors are homeless people he see homeless people and talk with them their people when is current administration said we're going to have a big party in san francisco a preparty before the part of super bowl we have to get out of here that's problem

spaces in san francisco there are many when we do is create those trickle ego vinyls as we've created a cat elective out of super bowl i called it the st. francis super bowl homeless challenge for $500 we can do if i know how to structure budget i requalified a budgets and bubdz less than $10,000 we have the skill and is financing we have the hearts we have the exerted headquarters to be able to do this in san francisco and side beautiful things and have pride how we treat your neighborhoods (clapping.) mr. graham well, that is one of my person pet peeves homelessness is no a crime a condition and everyone deserves a right to be respected and given the right to live in

dignity before you, side anything go up to the person and found out why he is homeless and get a read on that social workers in all areas of the country do this and are able to find a way for those people to get into housing if you have a brother in fedex you can live with more 6 months i mean those types of things we need more social workers and deregulation with the individuals you can't implementing the center it good i like the center idea i proposed one as well you have to have an understanding of what each player needs if you don't center it you're dead in the water i need to use the budget so get more social workers. >> mr. herrera. >> a link road to homelessness and, in fact, to treat people on the streets their somehow choosing to be there a great

mistake homelessness starts when people can't pay the rent at the vision has created and demonstrated this problem even more folks with jobs in sunset who are living in in their cars 27 hundred children in the school district living in the cars and living room and couches a lot more that are actually homeless we need to proposition f gives us one acre to start we have to support prop f and continue to support the systems that are helping people deal with their own experience of homelessness thank you very much. >> thank you very much (clapping.) our next question and it is about go to mr. martin first do you building we should review

san francisco sanctuary policy. >> that's a quick or long-winded answer in general i don't think we should i agree with the sanctuary policy that an important piece some piece we're not we were not doing effectively i'm assuming that we're sort of referring to as a general trend san francisco a welcoming placed for people around the world is a tread mark that sets san francisco separate and hate to lose it over a specific incidents that occurred. >> thank you, mr. sheriff man. >> i'm hundred percent for surveillance cities i've worked in restaurants the people are the head it worker in their guns

and they're the backbone of the state and definitely the city it would fall apart without them they need to be safe that said i i don't think it should apply to criminals we should make sure that criminals criminals are auto out of the system and people that are obtaining bay the law use them like cities are meant for like hey, there's a problem on my street this person is in a gang and problems over here and they can call the police without worrying about be a criminal. >> ms. wise. >> i support it if i were mayor with the trajectory incidents i said take affordability i signed this die

process into law and take the affordable it sheriff's was doing his job and not detaining someone (clapping.) work with jeff that did a great talk about on sfgovtv talked about with put together a if you remember we're talking about in if particular case did we learn anything to adjust to those issues this way should be doing as a leaders but taking accountability and being able to adjust the law is a living thing and adjust it to the greater good (clapping.) thank you very much. >> mr. graham. >> i agree with amy we have a problem with how we look at the law sanctuary sass cities are important san francisco is the

ultimate sanctuary city less face that we welcome anybody and everyone but we can't ballets the criminals go wild we need to manage the process the police department and sheriff's department don't know and the mayor e mayor's office has to get in their faces it is a management issue we need to keep it. >> thank you very much mr. herrera. >> i'll strengthen the sanctuary cities mexico it is up their experiencing 22 murders the most violate thanks to office of citizens complaints and some of the supported and blessed we're experiencing tremendous challenging changes people are here experiencing violence my own drawn was murdered surveillance city's

provide safety and because we allowed this man to manipulate the tragedy the fourthal death of a young woman is a disgrace we should take leadership across the country to defends the lives of people that are here for protection from more violence and torture. >> (clapping.) mayor ed lee. >> clearly i understand the goals of our sanctuary city policy let me say that i think that is more a policy it is a live document i agree with a number of commenters not only do we want to protect and have a sanctuary for those who are fleeing but once they're here we've obligate to have the programs to support their success by the way, with us with a policy i was at the helm with the other mayors with the id cards that's served thousands of

people to get access to services we put money serious money in the pauts to citizenship to train the folks not just to be a beneficiary of the policy but have access to education and theres and jobs without the barriers we need to do more we'll continue to do more to support our immigrants it shouldn't matters where the local even though of their documentation we have to help them succeed. >> (clapping.) thank you very much. >> the next question to mr. should've man the black population is 6 percent and declining in san francisco what issues are causing this and how will you address them. >> it's a housing issue like pretty sure everything in the next 10 years a lot of development in the bayview

hunters point and this is a almost investable so i'd like to put a first right of refusal for everybody from the bayview hunters point it is displaced if bloifrpt and specifically a whole bunch of affordable housing there like a ton, in fact, all over the city maintain the small 6 percent of our african-american population we need to pardon me. >> according to the - >> yeah. build now in bayview hunters point and not waits until it moves around. >> ms. wise. >> chief baldwin came to san francisco in 19 b 3 he talked about the institutionalized raising with the development and people couldn't get jobs after world war ii we need to create

jobs so for the african-american rather than pipelines to prison and create job opportunities to clean power that could be underway if this administration loudly clean power to roll forwards i love stewards ideas of first right of refusal and also to support the people that are certificate of preference have been displaced in the past 3 developments to come back into the city and focus on bayview hunters point and the fillmore western edition and figure out how be to creating for housing through dwelling units and the pertains and to link them to african-american neighbors. >> thank you. >> (clapping.) mr. graham. >> i agree with that what we need to do is create jobs i mean, it was a tragedy that we let the 49ers go to a stadium were are right of there created

a neighborhoods of jobs and workforce that could be into that neighborhoods we can still do that we need corporate help with that i think the issue is jobs and education for those that don't have it job training those people thank you. >> thank you, mr. herrera. >> yeah. i'll start by supporting proposition i and making that citywide i think there is some sort of a red lynn that is happening to kickoff the african-american communities in this terrible thing noble hold the fort but half of the folks can't live in san francisco we have a serious crisis creates by the run away housing market the top problem that is san francisco land use & economic deveen
