percent unemployment rate he's inwavering in his push to make sure that every recipe has the district of a job instead i will give any ladies and gentlemen my honor to introduce the leader, the planner at man behind the mustache mayor ed lee (clapping.) >> wow. london that is such a nice introduction need you say more shall i get off and let you take pictures of the world series let me just add something that i know is nor'easter to london heart and to me and so

many of you martin luther king day london and commissioner cohen and several others of supervisors joined me and mark bev half hour and hydra mendosa our education group joined some 50 students to watch the movie selma and our intent was not just to see the film but to have a communication with our student leaders in san francisco after that film london and i had a special lunch with mr. benny hoff and several others one the requests that came out from the students themselves in our campaigns with them in trying to ascertain from them what do question e they want out the city what can we do to work with them to make sure

they understand that we are working for their success we want their talent to come out and to be supportive and to be initiative in our city and because of all the national and local xhfktsdz regarding everything from police brutal so discriminates clearly that was the topic of the day we asked our students to comment on that they told us not only did they feel that there was tension but they also felt that we need more public safety officers and police officers that look like them and recognize who they are and can work in the community with youth as they grew up and know them by hair first names and understand where they are and hang out with them so they

can utility that all custodies don't have a background that will be challenging to public safety issues and so we began conversations about something that hadn't had an opportunity in our city for over 10 years a cat detective program that recruits kids after high school that prepares them for possible candidacy in the polygamists academy i know my staff never wants me to announce something that's not pesticide but we'll have a police officer indicate detective program in san francisco because of those youth (clapping.) so all good news i want to begin that that along with standing besides 3 world series trophies

that excited me to no ends i'll take our pictures alongside when i go and meet with the u.s. conference of mayors i can introduce myself of the mayor of 3 world series champion who get into a well deserved conversation about what we're doing as mayors san francisco is growing leading the way in our region and in the country 2, 3, 4 job growth and london said we enjoy a 3.8 percentage employment rate it proves our economic policies are working and just 3 years to the years of into custody to 2013 we created 76 thousand new jobs in san francisco we're growing

faster than any major city in the u.s and i know a lot of the business sectors get credit but we've seen job growth in construction and hometown and health care as well as technology those sectors provide good jobs with our minimum wage increase the most proving in the country even more of our resident will be in a position to benefit from our city's success i love coming to the city's beat breakfast it allows me to hear what people are thinking about this year results match from my understanding of business london breed's and employees from our city most people believe that our city is moving in the right direction and the quality of life in our neighborhood is

improving but residents are anxious their anxious about their future they want to make sure that the success of the city will result in the success of them as well so perhaps we see this month visibly and individually across around the cost of living specifically around housing costs you know i've also said the biggest diversified in our economy is between those are who have a job and those that don't we can agree that having a stable place to live in the city is a close second that's why i'm focused on dining to address the housing needs for all san franciscans that's why we are working together to address the crisis created by years of under this i'm sure you're aware of i've been committed to building thirty thousand unit of housing

when i 2020 with 1/3rd affordable and others affordable to middle-income families we're on our way with over 4 thousand units in 2014 and over 5 thousand expected this year to be delivered we have built more homes this past year than in 2012 and 2013 combined this is a process we need to do more let me be clear with you when we are in the midst of a housing crisis you don't slow down production you find ways to speed it along we've done that by cutting out red tape and having affordable housing project but as construction of those housing united are underway too many of our residents are fearful of the future many families worry about

their ability to stay here in the long term i'm committed toe keeping san franciscans in san francisco and we have a number of programs that will help us do that. >> so the next steps towards chief the goal we're keep the residents in their homes and helping resident buy their rent control shlgz or expand the down payment assistance so it people can see homeownership and we're investing $100 million from ash retirement fund over the next 10 years helping one hundred and 50 first time home buyers over the years we'll he said spake active evictions whether in partnership with the friends of the state legislator we must stop speck later from flipping buildings creating a new investment fund
