you look at the breakdown of you know the groups their trying to balance ethnicity it is completely out of balance with the population of san francisco it is a difficult task and hopefully, they'll eventually find a way to comply and electric more students to the public school and the sf business times had a list of the projects under construction in san francisco and the vast majority of those housing projects are projects for rental how's not ownership i think that is very good we can't build enough housing, however i think there is a great shortage of ownership unit not only condos condominium and single-family homes it is driving the prices high and finally a message on oral in a local undergo from the mission district called the

mission local and panel of leaders if businesses awarded the students from john o'connell high school their awarded for the women's building over 7 by 7 other schools from san francisco in the east bay a competition of conditional effects they have to analysts the economic effects and the students at john o'connell actress taco on the negative effects of a moratorium in the mission district and made good arguments that they were awarded the award over the 7 by 7 other schools kids in high schools know what's happening participate in john o'connell. >> guess commissioner richards

there's a new advance and do pass, consent allowing the public to weigh in and connecting the initiatives on streaming videos and initially it sound good, i support something like that but with the slip of a finger yay or nay a project is good or bad in your opinion i think this is an interesting idea in any of the fellow commissioners want to adopt or join narrowing there's more than just a popularity congest we we the processes and the consciousness of the project we make our vote it is a great idea but the public needs to know there are deeper thoughts. >> deputy city attorney mirena burns i apologize for trurpgsz i

urge the commission to speak carefully about the proposed ballot measures we have to be careful about positions on public officials and seeking positions on ballot measures. >> let me think mainly looking at and getting february on specific project thank you. appreciate that. >> thank you. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we can move on to department matters i believe item 67 director announcements. >> two announcements one the mayor announced with the superintendent carranza the scapegoat the creation of our children and families this was the result of the ballot measure passed prop c in the fall requiring the creation supported by supervisor yee he's asked me to sit on that council and there are a number of open seats that

for gowns for example, if you take the housing element and go back 3 housing elements and see all the housing element we have to ask users those commissioners who are educated on issues and those commissioners who care for our people why is it every single housing element that should have been done consciously by this planning department land in our court what guidance do we have what data do we have really so, now we can to a bag from my memory is right the association of the bay area governments another government document which this department has not

a.d. hired it has adhered to it in a general matter so today commissioners we have an energy or emergency a real emergency in san francisco we do not have so-called affordable housing but i'm here to speak about low income and no income housing which ties into the comments made by one the commissioners on education i was trained well by some of the best educational institutions in the world so i know something about education we can get education to our children only if they're given it and only if we have good leaders good leads know the way and show the way and go the way now you commissioners i don't
