speculators will indeed take advantageing of the ellis act. in 201312 percent of ellis act eviction happened less than months of ownership and 2 to 3 months of ownership and 20 percent happened win that six months to one year and 15 percent between 1 and 2 years this is showing you concludely that they've not been long time mom and pop owners >> do you have any information on the 20 percent. >> we have that in our database. >> thank you. >> any additional public comments on item 5 seeing none,

public comment is closed. so i want to thank everyone for coming out today and for the folks who presented at the beginning. so supervisor campos you had proeptsd amendments before you described those amendments should we - do you time to comment on the amendments or should we we can have a motion to accept the amendments >> actually supervisor jane kim supervisor kim do you have a motion. >> no, just a motion to take the amendments. >> supervisor kim has moved to adapt the amendments as proposed by supervisor campos and we've take those amendments working class. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you to the committee for listening to this item and thank you all the tenants and advocates and the community members that have come out for

this hearing. i think it was very moving to hear the testimony especially from people who are fatiguing eviction that's not easy to talk about. let me say that i know that a lot has been said about the hardship and the need to protect the small landlord i think this legislation does that but i think we have to put that issue in context. my feeling is that when people try to justify what's happening in terms of the displacement in this city that the folks who are trying to justify some of the displacement, you know, always point to the small landlord as the poverty child for what's

happening. the vast majority of evictions as was said is happening by the speculators who have little no common if anything with the small landlord. if the concern is in the way those smalltime landlords are going to be impacted this legislation provides a hardship exception but we're not talking about hardship that's at the end of the day what defines the speculators. those speculators are here to make money and they themselves know that the conduct in which they've engaged and the political realty of their business practice is such their notice justification for what's happening. their abusing a will that that

was never intended for what is being intended today. to the extent you see the ellis act it's for the needs of long term alongside that want to get out of the business. if we have an opportunity to save the characteristic of this city we have to move now. the costs of the legislation have pretty modest we know it's only part of the solution and not to defer people from exercising their rights under the ellis act it's for the purpose of giving tenants a fighting chance to sty in san francisco. that's all it is. and i think that a fighting chance is something that everyone deserves and t is

sxhifth with the values of san francisco. we'll come back to this item for the next meeting and i strongly courage my colleagues to support in piece of legislation and to move forward it forward to the board of supervisors >> thank you supervisor campos. one thing i think it's important to keep in mind that if someone's getting ellised out of their unit whether a mom and pop landlord or a major conglomerate i think it's equally devastating to the tenant. i i know in terms of ellis evictions and threatened ellis act evictions they're done by large new real estate investigators and long time landlords.

we know that a significant majority of the ellis evicts they've not owned long so senator leno will prohibit of the ellis act evictions with fewer than 5 years of ownership but all the evictions are problematic and so i think that's important to keep that in mind >> supervisor kim. >> thank you for supervisor campos office for the work on this legislation. at the minimum wage costs should be to reflect the current market and inflation. we're certainly seeing here 90 in san francisco this the the rent increases are above and beyond what we've seen and it's

been articulated where land is quite valuable. it's important we keep up with the times and sure a level of stabilization for our tenants fatiguing eviction. i appreciated the members of the public who shared their stories picture its important to remember the experience of eviction is not only the loss you have your unit by the immense stress when you see there's nothing i can food it is really, really unfortunate. by, of course, overall the loss of the special network and especially, if you're a senior resident that's something that no amount of money is replace or be accounted for the larger issue is what we're seeing in san francisco the wide abuse of

the ellis act. i look forward to that in sacramento as we try to close the loophole and sure that the act is what it's meant to be not only by owns coming into the market and flipping and often they flip in the first 5 years. i really appreciated having stand up come ice cream i'd like to see that more often i think a (laughter) there's a new role for 125u7b8d comedy i have friends and misery is an important living for the shaund comeic i guarantee if you come to city hall we'll be forcing you to - having material

and, of course, you'll not get paid which will allow you to continue in our low income status and not making any money for the work i appreciate all the folks and encourage more of that to really frame the story and articulate the mess >> supervisor cowen. >> i too wanted to acknowledge everyone who came out to share their stories and give a shout out to the merry men and women who made this hearing nor enjoyable and was we have this conversation we over the compassion to folks it's still

part of the housing crisis and unfortunately, they have fewer advocates advocating open their on behalf of. so to the housing warriors that are out there let's maintain a watchful eye over what's happening with the affordable housing from the housing authority transferring property to private investment and management companies shur we've got zero displacement as this transition continues to unfold. please don't think you're able to solidify our own position there are other vulnerable folks we need to continue to be mindful we're talking about a

continuum of housing not only renters and property owners us against them but figure out the balance so natives can leave here and grandparents and artists can live here. everything that makes san francisco so desirable so desirable can still remain here inside of san francisco. thank you >> supervisor campos. >> just wanted to add and thank hillary in our my office to make this happen it's taken many months so greatly appreciate it. >> okay at any point we've amended the item as it needs to be continued for a week i'll make a motion for continuance for one week. >> take that motion without objection madam clerk, is there any other business before the

committee. >> there's no further business. >> thank you,

>> i tried to think about this room as the dream room, where we dream and bring some of those dreams to life. i feel very blessed that i have been able to spend the last 31 years of my life doing it my way, thinking about things better interesting to me, and then pursuing them. there are a lot of different artists that come here to work, mostly doing aerial work. kindred spirits, so to speak. there is a circus company that i have been fortunate enough to

work with the last couple of years. i use elements of dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. a lot of the work is content- based, has a strong narrative. the dancers have more of a theatrical feel. i think we are best known for our specific work. in the last 15 years, spending a lot of time focusing on issues that affect us and are related to the african-american experience, here in the united states. i had heard of marcus shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. we were brought together by the equal justice society specifically for this project. we were charged with beginning

work. marquez and i spent a lot of time addressing our own position on the death penalty, our experiences with people who had been incarcerated, family members, friends of friends. pulling our information. beyond that, we did our own research. to create a picture that resonated with humanity. it is the shape of a house. in this context, it is also small and acts like a cell. i thought that was an interesting play on how these people make these adjustments, half to create home. what is home for these people? the home is their cell.

people talk a lot about noise -- very noisy in prisons. that is interesting to me. looking at the communication level, the rise of frustration of being caged, wondering, where does redemption fit into the equation here? [singing] i think both of us really believe the death penalty is wrong, and is flawed for many reasons. the list is as long as my arm -- about several others.

we feel this is important for both of us, personally, to participate in the debate of this issue in a way that we can help people frame it for a conversation. >> there are kids and families ever were. it is really an extraordinary playground. it has got a little something for everyone. it is aesthetically billion. it is completely accessible. you can see how excited people

are for this playground. it is very special. >> on opening day in the brand- new helen diller playground at north park, children can be seen swinging, gliding, swinging, exploring, digging, hanging, jumping, and even making drumming sounds. this major renovation was possible with the generous donation of more than $1.5 million from the mercer fund in honor of san francisco bay area philanthropist helen diller. together with the clean and safe neighborhood parks fund and the city's general fund. >> 4. 3. 2. 1. [applause] >> the playground is broken into three general areas. one for the preschool set, another for older children, and a sand area designed for kids of all ages. unlike the old playground, the new one is accessible to people

with disabilities. this brand-new playground has several unique and exciting features. two slides, including one 45- foot super slide with an elevation change of nearly 30 feet. climbing ropes and walls, including one made of granite. 88 suspension bridge. recycling, traditional swing, plus a therapeutics win for children with disabilities, and even a sand garden with chines and drums. >> it is a visionary $3.5 million world class playground in the heart of san francisco. this is just really a big, community win and a celebration for us all. >> to learn more about the helen diller playground in dolores park, go to sfrecpark.org. (clapping) >> so thank you all for coming

out this morning, i'm edward reiskin i'm the director of transportation here in san francisco. happy to see you all here we're going to need everybody's help here today. where i will start we're lucky san francisco is a great city and one of the most walkable city if not in the world it attracts people here. it's a great city to walk around and be in. however, we we have a problem and the problem is people are getting killed in our streets and that shouldn't be happening pr it's unacceptable people are getting killed my seriously injured it's traefblg not only for the families especially for the families to whom it happens

but for our whole city but the good news is it's preventable every one of those dedicates and serious injuries is preventable. the good news behind that is that we have great leadership in the city as manifested by the strong and power showing of folks behind me that are focused and committed and dedicated to preventing those serious collisions and fatality collisions so we get the benefits of our beautiful walkable city without worrying about getting hurt or killed. at the top of that primer is our chief collective who has brought people together to solve problems. i think what we're going to talk about today is the epitomize any

so it's my enclosure to welcome to the mike mayor ed lee. (clapping.) >> thank you, ed for that introduction. of course, i prefer being outside somebody said it might rain but i'd love to be drenched by rain it's good for our city i want to thank you all the board of supervisors who have been with the pedestrian safety strategic with me. not only myself and personal resident and residential leaders of different community each supervisor a has given me the personal accounts of the dangerous intersection of the people who were lost of severely injured it's personal. i want to say today rather than

having years where all of us in office are saying we're sorry for something to happen we'll rather be saying thank you for you for yielding and not running the red lights and thank you for not speeding. that's also going to be better than saying i'm sorry. this is what groups have taught us advocates in they're right and well deserving they have a loud voice not city but we should have loud easier and hearing about more being thankful. it begins with what was yourness you've heard about the awareness program that muni and other agencies are proechlt through attorneys whether it's radio or television or 3ri7bd materials on our buses we'll get them on

the taxi spaces to get people to make sure that they know they can make themselves safer and drivers need to be safer and everybody on the road safer. the awareness champion can't work on its own. a good part of that and i'm always tafl to our police department is an increase of 12 percent i want to thank. them i know there's other valuable time by they okay. this is important preventing deaths and injuries. i will say to you this i've asked the police department awhile i do an awareness champion that says be nice and look twice i'm asking my officers not to be so nice

enforcement is about the discipline in people's behavior they're not going to be nice when they see persons not yielding when red lights are run, and when speeding occurs puc. i'm asking our police officers not to be nice because that enforcement should have effects on people's behavior. supervisor avalos and supervisor chiu and all the intrifrz we don't want to say we're sorry. last year was the highest number of faltsdz in our city and traffic collisions we need to do more about it. so we're unveiling that and reminding everyone that traffic enforcement will be there

throughout the city and we have evidence to back it up. the pedestrian strategic group that's he represented behind me buts by everyone and advocacy groups have taken a look at at the data that's improved more and more and built upon straevenlz of other cities and we've come up with a provided list of areas in of the city that represents the 6 percent of the street grids they end up being the sites where the fatalities happen and we need to focus on those right now and right away. even though we have $50 million embedded in the bond that we plan to present to the voters in

november the transportation infrastructure bond we have come up with an immediate $17 million to promote the walk first program in san francisco. it's literally taking the highest percentage of intersections and streets and kindergartners and putting some designs of safety idea in plays play. for example, i'll give you a few examples that represents across the city of the locations. sutter street throughout sutter street signal timing changes and continental contractions and on folsom street and improved at the city clerk's office ton and striping changes on silver

across the town and many trrnz claiming gary and palm and 6th and 16th and moo sonic and specifically by request i wasn't the first one to think of this we're going to put the 13 at the yorba and that speeding is unacceptable awhile we're waiting for the 13 i've specifically asked our chief and he's responded with a specifics officer to catch people so we're going to make the city safer. this is our mandate we're tired of saying we're sorry.

we're putting money serious money behind this are i know the group as identified over $275 million of work and this 50 million we're identifying in november against that the 17 million we're identified by various sources i want to thank you. the to the agencies for getting the first 17 million started ahead in the touchy areas of the city. it's more than just about commitment. we stood here months before and said we care about the city's safer whether it's awareness or a higher level of enforcement or putting things into the streets that make sure from the physical stannt
