sector he stepping up taking their investment capital laying it on the line. and you would think when la in charge first made the application to be selected in the competitive process i lied through my teeth i told them over a few months you'll need to do and they've hung in there. they've not allowed that lie in the ends the investment opportunity here represented something that's unique in all of america. there's no other piece of soil in america this is potentially as lucrative and profitable for

both the private and public sector then this spot is going to be (clapping) so, i say to you and the investors you've done it right. you know that retirement board has a rile that says they can't invest in san francisco. how stupid is that. i hold ms. maxwell we don't want people asking questions about our investments and knowing san francisco is full of questions everybody babies that are not born ask questions that's the way we're. i'm hoping that we can have san francisco's money, san francisco's pension funds equally as subject to being used

in this city and in particular where the predictability of have you ever given is to wonderful. i'm carried away with the idea when the base closure came along they said i can have the shipyard and, of course, diane and nancy make sure it was done. it took a lot longer than then we a thought it would but it happened. and believe me reference has been made to all the people who were involved. there's been at least 3 secretaries of the navy and they stepped up and their staff he believes that everything that appeared to be high-risk was

worth the trip it was demonstration and republicans. the rest of the nation is going to be required to follow suit and be rearview mirror to find our dedicated people like we have. they're going to be able to find and require people like ed lee and others who have done so much to help put this altogether. and i'll tell you something. my ugly worked in the shipyard. it's the only job he ever had but might uncle worked from the

shipyard and he's smiling knowing he would be gambling because it's a we have thing we open the place for people to live and for the rest of san francisco who will beat a path out here. you're going to be shocked at the kind of people who want to live out here. the cost it so much better and the transportation and all the other things for access to the freeways and to downtown in. cases is so much better the public transit system generally is so much better. this is an ideal place to live. i'm not that i'll be eligible pam is right if we can arrange a

discount. when i served lee used to be accused of also trying to leverage for our own benefit but obviously we didn't do it that's why i make an appeal to you (clapping) >> he really is san francisco own force of nature isn't he. now we want to bring to the poumd a neighborhood poet who embodies the hope of the community. please welcome this lady. tomato i didn't (clapping) hello everyone before i go into this short poem i want to say

thanks to everyone. i'm here representing the cafe that is in the heart of bay view. thank you (clapping) and because of all the hard work and faith that everyone has had in the project i can say today, i have a full-time job in bay view and i'll be a first time time homeowner in bay view as well. it's a huge accomplishment. i'll be reading this poem and dedicate it to everyone. we are the voiceless. who can't sleep long enough to dream who barely have periods between strafrgs.

those mean very little when our voices sound like shadows falling into the dark and no one understands when no one is around to see. she fights everyday to fight for her smile. she knows the distances so alcohol is the only comfort she has grown accustomed to. we have nothing left burr but our voices and sometimes, we forgot we're realized with a shine so bright sometimes. and we are reminded there will be another day. we have nothing left but your

voices to speak. thank you (clapping) >> thank you that was beautiful (clapping) well, thank you to the neighborhood and the leaders to all of you and thank you for being a part of something that was so extraordinary please join us for refreshments and don't forget to nibble on some cookies that were made special for today. those of you who want to be in

the photos stay here. bay view is on its way. have a great day (clapping) >> everybody smile.

>> good morning, everyone we've had a wonderful tour of this space this is another great part of our city. what a transcribe this buff

space from the efforts of the community to create another wonderful a space for the tenderloin. working with the families and turning this space into a support for our small business community. this this is adams and the lead behind the staff community. (clapping) >> thank you, mayor this is been very nice okay. and so the first two people i want to thank is the mayor because he's on the team. can you fix that for me? him and the team have about very helpful from the beginning. one of the reasons we took this

ear because of his support. i have another person to thank that is carol. she sold this building because she believed we'd make a difference which we've been starting to. that's impressive. i want to start by saying initially we were a start up company. we feel we share similar values with the city of san francisco if it's about openness and small business and that's why we said to make this our first, you location. for technical reasons it doesn't work out this was our third

location. we had 7 in new york and we're planning to have 17 locations in austin boston and washington d.c. and seattle. this is a great movement. but this is the city we're focusing on with another lease we're planning to sign and we're going to open 5 building which will bring as many as 25 enterprises into this community and help them succeed with a little help from the mayor. why did we which i see central market we have carol and the mayor supporting us but we work not just as a community we work as a plays where we go into a neighborhood and a change the

neighborhood. so if you look around you at the small businesses like large companies say this is a small option for them but those people can change a neighborhood. when we talk downstairs and we have investments and idea we change side neighborhood. we have 5 enterprises that can change the neighborhood and the neighborhood can change the city and we took a step towards changing the world. thank you and i'd like to call the mayor (clapping) >> well, let me begin by saying this is exciting. i want to thank adam for this

wonderful opportunity and thank supervisor kim for someone who's worked in the community to see this trans formation with you to see this is incredibly exciting. it's an honor for people like randy struggled with the challenges and all of us who worked in the nonprofit including supervisor jane kim we understand this transformation is crimping open to many levels. i worked on pi want to sweep the street to earn my reputation with them. i wasn't going to say i worked

in n some office and dictate to them. i was go going to be proud with them. we spent a lot of time on taylor and others streets we have pride in our streets. we're going to be joining all our partners we didn't know what that was. but leroy and others saying we're going to use art and small businesses and we're going to use that spirit of loving the city and we're going to do that we didn't know what that meant but we had a feeling with the theatre and arts leadership and what we wanted to do in our hearts was going to make some change. this was fourteen years.

including original jose because that's always brought us back down. that started a little bit of investments then i become city administrator and we were saying with the arts how can we take over those places and work with the residential hotels who oftentimes were receiving people come back into the community from prison. they didn't understand what a living room was streets were their living room so how do we turn their lives around and how do we transform grocery stores given the police reports were being influenced by bad

behavior. we needed to collaborate with other elements. we got persuaded to take on this opportunity to be the mayor and the campaign office was across the street. but they gave me an opportunity to look across as i was on the phone trying to persuaded people i was often looking across this theatre. that's such a beautiful place and strategic place we'd spent so many hours why can't we get that filled i thought maybe is ballet or arts would take it over. then jose took over and i asked

can we as a city do something about that. of course, before that time when i had the campaign office there i told everybody i saw everything in this area i heard everything and i smelted everything in this area. i said look if i'm lucky enough to become mayor you i'm going to make positive changes not to move people out to transform lives that's what we do we don't move people out. we need to do is invest in people and take our spirit and include them in the transformation of our city.

we utilizations to represent together randy and i as tenant lawyers. so we all share this backdrop. so if we're lucky enough to be in positions we'd help. it began with some artwork and taking over theatres and we worked with the arts to give extort to burning man and some of the art organized that grants arts to take over with the arts center and the other small efforts but this is big. this is big because it brings together 2 hundred businesses creative businesses half of

two-thirds that are never in the city to support job creation to billed from small to medium to large and we get to use all our expertise to run the city. i've been introduced to some of the creative brains and minds. i've got to o some nonprofit for you. they're just very excited to be here. we've got the renting war hoeltsdz hotels. market street is transforming and because we have so many great partners and because of those types of hubs that are created for all people all over the world not just the united

states people from all over the world b will come here and challenge and work here. we have changes. they employ and i think you're going to be the reason it changes but right now supervisor 44 thousand 2 hundred and 49 employees and it's still growing and i think the office needs to change those numbers already arrest as you know i've been focused on jobs because i really believe that people can get those jobs and be part of the economy. and we're going to make sure whether it's big medium or small a they'll survive here and the

supervisors will work with me to sustain this. so mr. temple used the word bubble he's always trying to get me on the bubble it will not burst if our hearts lead this economy. if all walks of life and all cultures get to participate. this can welcome in one or two people with ideas but can't afford the expensive rent by wants to start with a great idea and this is where it starts. this is why it's so incredible we have those hubs of business support.

it's a model i think is going to work with a sharing economy. and the sharing economy is not just for small businesses it means all the other large companies get to use their philanthropy to support the community. that's y what i envision. i think it's just the dna that san francisco has that's why we're beating out so many other cities as adams vision it's also going back going to be reflected and we'll build stronger community. that's the
