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 philosophy. as mid market transforms itself in the ways we're seeing it now that or so supportive and a successful we're going to start moving towards the attained.

that's another big challenge. i don't want to see the stories of the down and out they're up lifting and going to be part of this we have folks who live there in the tenderloin so we bring hope to the tenderloin as we bring hope to the mid city. we have to connect it all up. that's why we're going to make sure pg&e brings the power here (clapping) >> so mayor lee gave quite an intro. we can point out out that lee work has chosen to make this in the san francisco area and that's quite a testament to her

district >> i met the mayor when i was a i did not get organizer in chinatown. we use to clean up is neighborhood to promote i did not know people to get involved in their community. so ed used to come with his truck bringing us dustpans and brooms. it's what it means to be grassroots. the first policy that actually, the mayor and i worked on was the mid market and tax tenderloin exclusion. policies are tough and i know we

had to work on that. we had a ton of space we have all this san francisco but no businesses coming in. there is a community that's also lived here and i didn't want to push folks out folks which who are improving the neighborhood. but the mayor and i made a commitment we would help revitalize this area in partnership with the communities. it's great to have randy shaw here fighting for low income housing and it's wonderful to have joe here. he lives on market street you'll see him walking around. i asked him to come i think it's

important to have this in partnership but small businesses are going to do help strengthen this neighborhood. and we have a joe gentleman who is opening up a beer bar. they make the best chocolate on jones and you can buy them on sixth street. i moved to this neighborhood i thought it was important to live on sixth street and to be someone who walks up and down

here. the part that's really developing and i hope what i want to do and challenge everyone is how we can build this community that remains diverse but that can be a home for folks who are tech workers but working class families and those folks in our hotels as well. i'll welcome you all to do our office volunteers for some of the boys and girls clubs. we were tired of us being the highest not safety issues in this neighborhood. they volunteer everyday they said we're going to be on patrol

practical we'd love to have you there are. that's actually a lot of fun. it's from to be a part of this wonderful neighborhood. so we welcome you to district 6 and mid market and tenderloin. i'm happy to be here. thank you (clapping) so last but not at least we have miguel we worked through an article in an alumni magazine. he's grown a passion for architecture. so let's hear more from him
