of the city's workforce are women and they equal the men outstanding women in our major city departments like our fire chief and public directing director we must do better in areas like information technology public safety and skilled crafts great jobs with great salaries but which are not followed as women's careers well this year my administration will identify and eliminate boyer's for women in city jobs with good salaries a public sector must lead the way (clapping) and today, i call upon our city's private companies to do the same especially our

technology sector where gender parity and diversity are lacking prouvend san francisco pleads the nation on family friendly policies with guaranteed paid leave and health insurance and retirement benefits to working parents in 2014 i signed president chiu legislation to request family friendly work arrangements women shouldn't have to choose between a great career and family (clapping) and when they go home no woman should live in fear of violence as a mayor i've been standing against domestic violence and human tragically wherever it occurs no more not a mass

(clapping) our district attorney george gascon has done a great job so thank you george gascon and whether at work or hope we can do more to maintain our leadership on policies for women so this year with mayor shaft we convene a bay area women empowerment to propose legislation as well as public and private nichsz to improve economic initiative in our city and regional as a perfect example i know that supervisor president tang is leading a conversation of stem education for youngest girls in san francisco i look forward to supporting her effort and hope you'll join me in the summit my fifth and final derivative for

this year is the work i've been working on any entire adult life breaking the crippling corner that traps two many of our people in poverty let me be the first to say despite helping thousands of people in the support of housing and services those past 4 years it's shameful how many people still sleep on the interstates streets we have to do more and better and just this week we announced we're opening the housing authority wait list to provide housing for numbers of families last year, we finally passed the lourz lawn thank you supervisor farrell for your wonderful leadership on this (clapping.) now this year in addition to implementing laura's law for the

mental illness we drug i bring a step up with 5 hundred new affordable housing unit and focus on medication for those on the streets we've on up a navigation center to better move people off the streets into housing and services and answering the challenge from president obama i wanted san francisco to be the first city in california to end chronic homelessness for veterans (clapping) and working with supervisor campos and supervisor scott wiener we will fully fund a special shelter for the lgbt homelessness pops (clapping) and but friends you knowe.

poverty in our city doesn't mean spending for money we make record investment and in our safety net that won't change it's not progress to keep people trapped in public housing and trapped in joblessness and trapped in despair we know the outcome we saw a terrific example of this tragic murder of 4 young men no, my friends a real commitment to ending poverty men's trurps the transfer from parent to child child and generation to generation it means better outcomes of pathways for people to a better life for themselves and their family the cold banks and bodies i'm talking about we

must make nicole's story the normal not the expectation we know who the most vulnerable families and individual are we know them we all right. work with them or provide them services one way or another to this year we'll launch project 5 hundred and layers focus on intensive serviced and case management across city departments and nonprofit provider for at least 5 hundred of our at risk families giving them meaningful pathways at the interrupting it's intergenerational transfer my fellow san franciscans there's no more imperfect for our city to invest in today's prosperity to break the poverties for san franciscans this is what calls me to public service as mayor

and in this time of plenty this must also call our partners in the private sector to do it government can't do it alone in the past 2 years we've seen great examples of busy leaders step forward and give back to the city in time and health care and money and education and housing and homelessness people like mark and benny hoff and from tipping point the fischer family and charles schwab and the green folks mayor ed lee mayor ed lee and so many others and great companies like google and wells fargo and the gap and bernard and kaiser permanente and so many more those people and companies demonstrate the meaning of shared prosperity

they understand their responsibility to make san francisco remain the city where everyone belongs so to them i say thank you i set the example (clapping) you set the example for others to folly know they will i think this is only just the beginning of a new eagerly of civic mind companies and philanthropic those affordability diffuses derivatives bayshore will be on sf.org shared prosperity your governments work pad and i expect to be held accountable my

fellow san franciscans now more than that every we must work to insure that everyone shares in the city's prosperity that this city is where everyone belongs the change we see exciting to many and scary to some is good silvers we manage it successful and generosity and hope from our eater days those values have denied san francisco they attracted many of us in the first place including me they make san francisco a place where everything is possibly no matter who you are a place where a little girl growing up in plaza east named london breed can be

the president of the board of supervisors (clapping.) a place where tenacity and personalities can propel an activist named julie christensen that fought from outside city hall can fight for the district within and getting the resources to get it done (clapping) this is the place where a 20 something law student named ed lee can protest and march and cause a ruckus for immigrant and one day become mayor (clapping) ladies and gentlemen this is nicole banks san francisco a place where everyone belongs

in this matter your race of income or sex and status more than most places we try to live like micro anglo we can see ourselves in each other and recognize that human beings are more alike than unlike we're one city we're all lives matter and beacon to the world too often torn apart by differences whether on the streets of ferguson or a newsroom in paris my fellow san franciscans the state of the city is strong and the changes we're experiencing can make us stronger with our strong economic foundation we

have a special opportunity to change the city for the better and so see that san francisco is an affordable for families and make sure that every san franciscan shares in our city's rising prosperity this is any myths this is any passion and this is our san francisco thank you very much

>> hi. welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that

dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain.

i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake. >> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up

into haddes. >> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones

less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty

conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not

moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they

survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for

>> i'm your host of "culturewire" and today, here at electric works in san francisco. nice to see you today. thanks for inviting us in and showing us your amazing facility today. >> my pleasure. >> how long has electric works been around? >> electric works has been in san francisco since the beginning of 2007. we moved here from brisbane from our old innovation. we do printmaking, gallery shows, and we have a fabulous retail store where there are lots of fun things to find. >> we will look at all of that as we walk around. it is incredible to me how many different things you do.

how is it you identify that san francisco was in need of all these different services? >> it came from stepping out of graduate school in 1972. i wrote a little thing about how this is an idea, how our world should work. it should have printmaking, archiving, a gallery. it should have a retail store. in 1972, i wanted to have art sales, point-of-sale at the grocery store. >> so you go through the manifesto. with the bay area should have. you are making art incredibly accessible in so many different ways, so that is a good segue. let's take a walk around the facilities. here we are in your gallery space. can you tell me about the current show? >> the current show is jeff chadsey. he is working on mylar velum a

smooth beautiful drawing surface. i do not know anyone that draws as well as he does. it is perfect, following the contours and making the shape of the body. >> your gallery represents artists from all over not just the bay area, an artist that work in a lot of different media. how to use some of what you look for in artists you represent? >> it is dependent on people are confident with their materials. that is a really important thing. there is enough stuff in the world already. >> you also have in his current show an artist who makes sculpture out of some really interesting types of materials. let's go over and take a look at that. here we are in a smaller space. project gallery. >> artists used the parameters of this space to find

relationships between the work that is not out in the big gallery. >> i noticed a lot of artists doing really site-specific work. >> this is a pile of balloons something that is so familiar like a child's balloon. in this proportion, suddenly it becomes something out of a dream. >> or a nightmare. >> may be a nightmare. >> this one over here is even harder to figure out what the initial material is. >> this is made out of puffy paint. often, kids use it to decorate their clothes. she has made all these lines of paint. >> for the pieces we are looking at, is there a core of foam or something in the middle of these pieces that she built on top of? >> i'm not telling. >> ah a secret. >> this silver is aluminum foil, crumbled of aluminum foil.

her aesthetic is very much that quiet, japanese spatial thing that i really admire. their attention to the materiality of the things of the world. >> this is a nice juxtaposition you have going on right now. you have a more established artists alongside and emerging artists. is that something important to you as well? >> very important in this space, to have artists who really have not shown much. now let's look at other aspects of electric works operation. let's go to the bookstore. >> ok. >> in all seriousness here we are in your store. this is the first space you encounter when you come in off the street. it has evolved since you open here into the most amazingly curious selection of things. >> this was the project for the

berkeley art museum. it was -- this is from william wiley's retrospective, when he got up onstage to sing a song 270 people put on the cat. >> it is not just a bookstore. it is a store. can you talk us through some of your favorites? >> these are made in china, but they are made out of cattails. >> these pieces of here, you have a whale head and various animals and their health over there, and they are jewelry. >> we do fund raisers for nonprofits, so we are doing a project for the magic theater so there are some pretty funny cartoons. they are probably not for prime time. >> you sort of have a kind of holistic relationship where you might do merchandise in the store that promotes their work and practice, and also, prince

for them. maybe we should go back and look at the print operation now. >> let's go. >> before we go into the print shop i noticed some incredible items you have talked back here. what are we standing in front of? >> this is william wiley only one earth. this is a print edition. there are only eight total, and what we wanted to do was expand the idea of printmaking. this is really an art object. there we go. >> besides the punball machine what do you produce in limited edition? >> there is the slot machine. if you win the super jackpot, you have saved the world. >> what about work?

>> the right design, it was three volumes with lithographs in each volume. the cab of count dracula with 20 lithographs inside and lined with beaver fur. really special. >> let's move on to the print shop. >> ok. the core of what we do is making things. this is an example. this is a print project that will be a fund-raiser for the contemporary music players. we decided to put it in the portfolio so you could either frame at or have it on your bookshelf. >> so nonprofits can come to you, not just visual are nonprofits, but just nonprofits can come to you, and you will produce prints for them to sell and the profits, they can keep. >> the return on investment is usually four times to 10 times the amount of investment.

this is for the bio reserve in mexico, and this is one of the artists we represent. >> you also make prints for the artists that you represent. over here are some large prints by a phenomenal artist. >> he writes these beautiful things. anyone who has told you paradise is a book of rules is -- has only appeared through the windows. this is from all over coffee. we are contract printers for all kinds of organizations all across the country. >> thank you very much for showing us around today. i really appreciate you taking the time to let me get better acquainted with the operation and also to share with our "culturewire" team.
