tonight and let's welcome him anthony diaz. >> thank you, president and director rafaeli have a few handfuls in the presentation i apologize in order to save paper i've put 3 slides on one sheet we'll make copies available to the department thank you. i thank you. i'm anthony diaz thank you for your the opportunity to be here with you this evening since 1991 we've been organizing with the families and youth in san francisco to put into a practice people powder seclusions that are community lead i want to talk about our community resiliency and the empowerment

work in our southeast neighborhood but first mention the problem we're addressing through the work we're doing oufk you know our neighborhoods in southeast san francisco are heavily impacted by environmental and economic and social inequalities those are the result of a long history of poor land use policymaking that have hurt community of color in particular we can't meet in the mission without talking about the current crisis of gent indication the as mentioned before the previous presentation that not only is san francisco as a whole as the tab both facing the pressures but the mission is grounding ground zero this is hard to read in the

mission right now the medium for a one barroom apartment is $3,000 so this is an example of a kind of economic impact we're feeling in the neighborhood as well as a lot of evictions that are displaci displacing working class families i've mentions in particular from the mission once again i apologize this chart is hard to read but the mission has the highest number of ellis act evictions displacement is a public health issue and an environmental justice issue and disparticular time is a climate issue because of the impacts there's been shifts in the population of the may be

ass as you can see from 234506789 to 2010 the latino population in the inner mission doctors by 10 percent even though the population of latinos has dlrd decreased in the mission district grown in the tenderloin and hunters point for example, regardless the population shifts the mission district remains the krltd heart and soul of the latino community you see is intoouk the building not van ness but on mission and 44 accounting street i definitely feel the presence of a vibrant communicated very important in this context for us is also the environmental and environmental health impacts we see in the neighborhood based on stationary and

non-stationary pollution sources for example, a map of the pollution and the freeways you can't quite see it but the higher pollution levels is closer to the freeways but the ratio of demographics the higher the people of color in those areas as we know environmental impacts has been stated are disare proportionally faced in the community of color i'm sure you're aware of this has specific health impacts asthma and other health issues that heavily impact the residents in our neighborhoods other important correlation to go make around vial impact and health is also we're beginning to grapple with increasing with the impacts of the climate

change there's a could recommendation around the vial impacts and climate mobilities so for example, this is a map that shows the cumulative 1r50ush89 score by looking at the percentage of the percentage of tree canopy and the percentage of elderly living alone and the temperature change and other things the reder areas have the higher vulnerability dense i did population so once again i'm not here to sort talk about the bad stuff i think that the commission and the department knows those things and you are all gap el about how to make san francisco a safer and a cleaner city but you want to talk about the issues being

addressed the work we're doing to put into from the people powder solutions for the environmental sustainability and community resilience and economic justice and we're doing that through one of our campaigns the pueblo speaking the people and the lots together and really putting public land in people's hands to meet the neighborhood priorities those are photos of a park open 23rd and fulsome right by here contemplated vacant lot we worked with the residents to turn it is one of my colleagues mentioned about the lack of open space in the mission this is one the bright spots few of the parks that children's parks in the neighborhood that was

recently built we do this work through door to door engagement neighbor to neighbor talking to the folks and getting them involved in the community issues through getting folks to create those local solutions we know that people who live, work and play in the neighborhoods are the best planners for their neighborhoods so we we work on the community side to raise our voices and make sure that through community advocacy that we are informing city agencies and policymakers about what we need from the ground up even a city like san francisco it is too often from the top down with this it has relative for

example, us seeing new park and housing here in the mission at 17th and fulsome new housing at 19 and mission down the street new urban farms we've worked with the folks in the neighborhood to get the city to purchase land or dedicate land for those efforts but i should say the practice we want affordable housing but we also want green healthy housing we recognize that san francisco is to be a leader in the being a green city that all those projects sprouting ulcer up in the neighborhoods need to be developed with that important land and your department plays a key roll other works we're investing in creating the community of

practice of working with one another to build a neighborhood resiliency we work with our neighbors to work with healthy plants and learning about food traditions and building and fixing bicycle and as well as working with the tech assistance provides to share and learn critical compost and rainwater things those are important we can't wait for the policies to are implemented for the city to reopened we can start demonstrating now with the contingency resiliency looks like at the same time, we do the practices on the ground we're also moving policies to help with public investment for workers and community this is an example of a report we did with

the xroir neighborhood we the community assessment we did over 20 community groups in spanish and tagalog and chinese to get the development needs in the neighborhood and out of that came some city funding quite frankly to do the deems project that brings together the worker rights and education of investing in policies that provide career opportunities for residents and the employment for port services and building economic assets in our neighborhood in particular that has focused on the could open community cooperation and incubation it is ruled in our members last year launched a catering mississippi license number and other members

launched another food establishment for the food this evening and as well as other used bikes and fixing skills to young people and giving away bikes to low income residents in the neighborhood and really developing and promoting a vision of alternative transportation modes and having an impact on our environment and in doing the work we're reenvisioning what the green jobs and having a green economy it's not just a hard hat it's day to day work from the grassroots from the bottom you will u up beside our local work such emerald city and the

california justice alliance to build to scale emerald city securing the high road jobs in the excelsior with the california adjust alliance prompting studying jobs and just policies that support the local work for on the groups across the state of california that are involved ♪ closing i am most recently in those presentations i've been closing and director raphael closing with a quote an immigrant woman from pueblo mexico who said in one of our meetings if i were the mayors we were discovering the talents our community maybe economically poor but rich with talent that be under that utilized with you

should create an equal local economy i'll add a kwaeshl local department as well thank you (clapping.) antonio there's so much going on and so much work going on we're learned about and being a neighborhood e neighbor of the secret garden we had the mission housing folks in the back working for the thanks for the outreach to transfer the garden to continue that effort so there's so many things to happen to advance the vision so i'm glad we all got to learn >> thank for the opportunity. >> questions commissioners commissioner king. >> you know you guys are doing

fantastic work i've done a lot of planning work in bay area we feel the same pinch not quite as bad one of the things i know definitely have to work on together is you know i'm quite sure our grow up advocates for affordable housing and pushes for it and then when the housing is created then the city comes in with the lottery and the very people you've been advocating for to get the housing is not been they're not able to get into the housing i have a real problem with that the very people that come out to the community and advocating for the it is low income housing for you but for you and you and only your community there that you turn around and you can't get

the same community into the housing it drives me crazy i'm hoping one day you folks and others can collaborative around that the whole flight of the working class family in 70 san francisco we have kids that don't live in the city families commuting and most people are general manager in the city departments they can't afford the housing that's problematic for a city that is carving footprints it would be interesting to see a study of how many people come in the city doubles in size everyday how many workers we have in the city have to drive in and out you know in order to northbound the city everyday to work and how so

that information being implemented to our housing guidelines and so you know you guys are doing fantastic work from our standpoint that's one thing i've talked about that's one that we want to start looking at the cumulative impact of the carbon footprint of all the people that have to commute to the city for core jobs you you can our bus drivers and nurses and teachers our city officials many of whom don't live in the city abused it's too expensive. >> just to say look forward to the conversation and, yes, i think that the issues around the challenges of housing we've faced what are the sites that i had a photograph of the 1960 o 50 mission an old school district through a land swap it got to the mayor's office of

housing with the intention that part of the housing would be for teachers so teachers what work and live in the city as well so i'm grandpa left leg with those issues. >> thank you for being here. >> colleagues all right. public comment on our presentation tonight public comment. >> yes. >> you talk about green economy and i'm pretty sure that 80 thousand 4 hundred and 48 mature healthy interests in san francisco parks is not part of green economy and this commission it shouldn't be allowed all the problems should be eliminated altogether

as a best option by not it should be at least occur attended or that probably brought down to whatever it is was in 1995 i was going to prefer whatever the remnants that was in those for the planting is everywhere and using the herbicides and cutting the trees to make it grow there was something about in this presentation which i have a comment on basically, it's native plants they have a strange concept if you're not kaeltd in the rain forest and for the plants that are quote native why they're called native is a question and air pollution that was referred in my

presentations today, i want to align the importance of trees and the trees should not be destroyed i don't know what happened to the trees not a park in this case but the projects i don't remember which street there were 22 trees to go by and large because of this street widening and whatever and it shouldn't go like that and a couple of cases where someone moved that were in great condition and supposed to be cut in the plan but it was in the meeting they're said they're not going to be cut cut and on the line of the price tag on this plan significant resource area it 5 is $5 million a year it's

implemented if promoted maximum meaning restoring something at whatever at this point in time up to this point in time t is going to be implemented and devised as much okay thank you very much thank you, thank you. >> other members of the public some quick just to point out we have a clarification the cups are not come possible their recycle sorry we gave wrong information we'll finish them out of the green bin and over to the blue. >> yes. debbie director. >> antonio i'll make a comment through a companion theme one of

the things you've mentioned about not waiting for government but demonstrating what is the sustainable community look like and what is a cohesive consultant look like and what we hear when we talk about adaptation or the resiliency to climate change and what was happening in our community over and over we hear about the critical nature of the cohesive community and the work that mission housing is doing and the work that the mayor's office folks with doing you lead by example i'm interested in learning more how to translate our lessons learned from our community could he hasness there's a tremendous value to the work you've done thank you. >> director if i was are the another component to the

statement we absolutely all agree with a from our prospective and officially close. that from what you hear from members community members resident what comes to mind when you think of what they're talking about or what we heard in the it report last year as a great place to connect between the work you're doing community members and the work we do at the san francisco department of environment where is the link this itself potential not being made roadway >> i references a couple of things what is as we organ with the neighborhood residents for affordable housing i mean, we recognize that affordable

housing is building a community so how is it not only is the housing green and healthy but connected to opportunities for urban gardens and the neighborhood parks, etc., etc. i know there's an initiative around those areas that the department has i think this also i think fundamentally a need to do what you mentioned at the beginning which is did he mystify the environment with the department of the environment does outside of our neighborhoods i think there's - you know what can cite the powell that's been done statewide how amongst the communities of collar the concerns for climate is a big priority that's the kind of ethnic that exists in san francisco but i think the way

that we talk about it on the ground is often different how it's talked about within the parks and within city agencies so how is it we're making those connections and speaking the same language part of our experience in terms of the planning work we often feel we're traitors on the one hand engaging the neighborhoods and doing the planning work on the neighborhood level and then translating that to planners at the department similarly the technical things we've transmitted in a different way to the community that's what's needed in terms of all the departments in san francisco in terms of having the fluency and talking about those vital issues people are concerned about and talk about them in a different way. >> so i know i think the seeds

are there a that's one of the goals tonight the work you and our partners are going on the ground i got to see the list of the sunshine list and keblgd with a couple of dozens of organizations and institutions wire prime to really keep moderating so unless there's onsite other comments colleagues (clapping.) thank you very much thank you very much scott. >> all right. before you call the next item just one real quick thing go because we talked about translation and they've been working hard for a couple of hours thank you to our translator
