(clapping.) well, today, we have an important piece of legislation to be signed let me begin at the outset this is a movement going on in the city called the sharing economy something that not only have we been watching with the roll of technology and the abilities to connect people you up to an time information and resources and the ability to connect with more and more people but taking place in our city and cities across the country is a movement called the shared economy that is based on a simple understanding that in order to be successful if america you don't have to own everything as i gripe as a child of 6 kids in the city of seattle i had to share i learned quickly i couldn't own sometimes even my own pair of socks that we had to

share in order to survive and succeed we had to build a family economy around understanding he each other's needs and trying to help that out and, of course, share a lot of information well technology has brought about a huge revolution in the ability to understand what we're doing in the economy and with the interpretation interests in people in the city to say that we can also succeed in this is economy we're already doing it we have all kinds of riding sharing applications you don't have to own what i say a second and third car in the city that can go around and get the tasks define we've got zip car and others and companies that are even having scooters being able to share electrical obscurities all around the city not having

to depend on a mode or owner their own car and great transportation city and county system we invest serious monies in and prop a i have to get it in there we've got to pass we have task sharing and now a the ability for people to do space sharing i have behind me a great group of thrifty's of people that want to find ways to invite more people to the economy by is sharing information and space they have may this is the first effort in the history of this space sharing movement we've been able to regulate so i want to thank president chiu and all the supervisors supervisor scott wiener here and supervisor tang and i know we'll be joined by supervisor malia cohen and others to bring a strong majority to pass this

legislation and in an attempt to regulate an industry and to make sure that going forward we collect all revenue for the city as well when we invite people to be part of the economy i think the city wins as well so a win-win win for everyone i want to thank all the speakers today and the representatives from the companies and the employees people living and working here that are finding ways to make it successful for themselves this is i think a great story coit of our city we have an economy that shares the ability to have space, rides, tasks, more and more and i'll tell you often the larger companies are doing the same thing if you look at the what's happening in the bio science wourld you'll understand they've been sharing their laboratories and big

pharmaceutical companies find the ability to have their laboratories shared in order to bring the pharmaceutical products out this is another industry that is happening virtually in all industries so i join this group in celebrating this occasion we're regulating and suvenl get more revenue that will support the services that the board of supervisors and i know will be coming at us tvn let me from the author and sponsor our board president david chiu (clapping.) >> thank you, mr. mayor after two years of credibly hard work and countless meetings and testimony and a lot of discussion in the city we're

consolidation in short-term rentals in our city technically it's not been legal yet no regulatory enforcement structure for years we've not had a solution everyone knows we need an approach the heart of our approach is addressing the affordable housing how can we all afford to live in our city without changes in local law short-term rentals has made housing be fooblthd more difficult and easy at the same time, we need city policies that reflect that on the other hand, current practices have pushed many san franciscans out of our city whether or not you're a landlord ellis acting a whole building or a tenant that entered into multiple leases and engaged in bona fide we'll have a regulatory and enforcement

structure that says no to you if you're using airbnb or others to allow housing to be used around the clock as vacation rentals you'll face penalties for multiple offenses on the other hand, we've heard from thousands of home sharers who have been struggling san franciscans to struggle to live in our great city seniors and workers from all ero e over san francisco if you're a permanent resident that lives in the city 9 months out of the year and play by the rulings you get liberate insurance and registration with the city and abide by the law safety laws and may your 0 full share of tax you'll be allowed to live in san francisco i want to thank the planning commission and the board of supervisors for

>> there you go. >> yeah. food in san francisco just about expensive eat but food for everyone and there's organizations in the city that are doing really good work making sure that healthy food it assessable to everyone. more and more as follows are are becoming interested in upper arlthd they want to joy the open green pace sea know where their food it coming from we'll look

at 3 programs talking ushering agricultural and garden to new heights. so what exactly it, your honor agricultural >> it the growing food or flowers within city limits traditionally we've been referring to communities gardener that is a raised bed over and over upper argument has a more a farming way of farming. >> so tell me 0 what's growing in this garden. >> a really at all plant. in the one of the rare places, you know, people have access to

green space 24 is one of the places to grow things like the purple floor. it is sort of recognizing that the more diversity in given space the better not to just have one thing by everything supported each another >> it provides the community with an opportunity to get their hands dirty and reach 0 out and congressmen with the community in ways they might have not otherwise to engage with one other. >> now the dpw urban planning program so see how the garden community. >> so i grew up on a farm in air force base we picked the foods open the trees and share

with other families and as i drive around san francisco i see any trees with apples or mrumdz and lemon trees i can see the food going to waste and brought that idea back to the department many of the trees where the fruit would go to waste we origin or crop and pick other fruits and delivery this to food banks or shelters to people who need them. >> i'm here with nang wong hello nang. >> hello. >> i need to understand house this gleaning work. >> we come and harvest like for example, we'll come over here this is the lemon and plug it like this. >> (laughter). >> made that good, good and

ease. >> the trick is how not to hurt the branches. >> like the thing. >> i'm so excited about this. the people are so passionate about where the food goes to the private property owners give us the food they're happy that no of a t is going to waste >> oh. thank you. thank you. again job aura natural >> (laughter). >> from backyards to back lots let's take a look at the food and community bonding at the free farm. >> my idea was to start growing food and giving it away.

and getting my neighbors to who had space and having a kind of event that brings people together not to run our food program this time around but to share the wealth of the abundance of our welfare. we were all divorce and as part of our philosophy of working together and working together. >> what's the most rewarding aspect of volunteering for the free farm stand. >> well, we could is a generalic satisfaction but something about giving food away it's giving something i brought that in and sort it and gave it to you it's primitive to be able to give something some basically

to someone else. >> now serving number to 49 come on down. >> we have the capability of producing this food and in san francisco you can grow food all year round so the idea we're capable of prougdz food in our own backyards we're here to demonstrate an bans of food and i think that giving it away for free we show individuals it in have to be a comedy. >> we build time together and it's the strength of any ideas of the connections we'll turn that connection and the more connections you make no mistake about it the more you can have a stronger power and not have to

rely on money that's the people power. >> in this episode we've seen the urban farms and gardens provide more in fruits and vegetation people can have the special produce available it can be a place to give back by donating food to others and teach our children the connection to the earth and environment it's truly

(music) >> herb theatre,open rehearsal. listen to the rehearsal. i think it is fun for them, they see our work process, our discussions, the decisions we make. it is good for us. we kind of behavior little bit when we have people in the audience. msk (music) >> we are rehearsing for our most expensive tour; plus two concerts here.

we are proud that the growth of the orchestra, and how it is expanded and it is being accepted. my ambition when i came on as music director here -- it was evident we needed absolutely excellent work. also evident to me that i thought everyone should know that. this was my purpose. and after we opened, which was a spectacular opening concert about five weeks after that the economy completely crashed. my plan -- and i'm absolutely dogmatic about my plans --were delayed slightly. i would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone,

especially the arts, it's phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped. during this period we got ourselves on national radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. we continue to tour. reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. msk(music) >> the bay area knows the orchestra. you maybe take things for granted a little bit. that is simply not the case will go on the road. the audiences go crazy. they don't see vitality like this on stage. we are capable of conveying joy when we play. msk(music)

>> any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before. string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift. msk(music) >> and then you have strauss,

extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. i have been doing this for a long time. i kind of make them feel what i want them to feel.

there is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note. and that is our encore on tour. by the way. i am proud to play it, we are from san francisco. we are going to play that piece no matter where we are.
