driving car i'm excited about that. >> do you think that we're doing enough radical thinking about what can be different last week i was at a special program and the ceo of uber made a radical statement about the vision of uber and he said his real vision is that know one would need to own a car where uber is and think about that. it's pretty radical thinking about driving. >> it's not that far off seems to me we've gotten used to the idea of software as a service and mobility as a service may well come and go as people look at the extraordinary cost of cars and insurance and particularly as economy cars are increasingly getting out

there and we've got an innovation zone we've created in san jose and we've got cisco out there and testing the smart signals and testing the smart cars and smart cars talking to smart signals and it's a lot smarter than i can understand but what we're learning is that if all of this actually somehow works, we could see significant reductions in congestion because we know out there on the freeway or roadway 95 percent of that road is not being utilized, right? so things change and people with them no longer owning cars and all of a sudden parking shrinks and we could see a different transportation system within the decade. >> and i think our job is to figure out how our

policies can keep up with innovation and sometimes government can really be a drag on disruptive technologies and try to protect the old ways and that's one of our challenges is to loosen up a a lit and accept more risks. >> there's no question about technology as one of those radical things and i was thinking last year we did 26 26 million between our members and the physicians meaning they didn't have to drive across town to see the doctor and took care of those needs via technology and the satisfaction rating was something like 9.3 so it's a winner to your point and one final piece on the transportation -- you have a captive audience here we employ a lot of people in the greater bay area and the region. what advice do you want to give this

audience about what we can do to help to address the transportation issue in the region? >> i would love for companies to take it upon themselves to assess and then use your own technology to try and figure out how to reduce the carbon footprint of your employees you know there's got to be a car pooling app or something that could allow you very simply within your own walls to reduce that congestion and reduce the emissions. >> i would implore employers in making location decisions to think carefully about the future and transportation. >> gosh i should have said that move your business to oakland [laughter]. >> they got room we have room be happy to help you you out [laughter] you know i mean we know that companies are investing hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in spaceships where there's

no transit and there's going to be no fixed rail transit in those locations and demanding of governments look there's urban options and i think as yogi barra said the future ain't what it used to be and employers are increasingly looking for the urban option and they need to recognize that and those are people who do not think like the cfo's who might be in their fifties about where they want to be and how to get there. >> i think the immediate thing to consider is every employer ought to have public transit passes for this employees just so there's an immediate embracement of our public transportation system and encourage that and that that should be part of pay packages not extra incentives just the way the way we ought to

conduct ourselves and the other part we're going to put all of you and the voter in this region a pretty large bart investment package and we need you to pay attention to that you already saw how old the system is and every week you are going to hear about another failure this and that and as libby said what we have today we need to be sure it works and as we build confidence we can talk and be planning and we need you to help us go to dc and get the serious money for the additional tubes and ferries and all the other modes of transportation and this entire bay area is on fire and this is a time to think about this topic in a positive way because the workforce will go away if we don't do it.

>> and i think you know, we should take a breath and note that this is a good problem to have. there's metropolitan regions throughout the country that would love to be in our position and certainly have every right to complain about traffic but we've got a good problem because of the extraordinary job growth in our region. >> so the last section i want to get into a couple of critical questions i want to ask in this arena and let me start by saying we have all arrived here today and feeling good about the economy and things are happening and membership growth and all the businesses in this room are growing and we have a host of problems but in some cases they are good problems to have so i don't want to focus on that in my last part because we're all in this

room for the sake of where i want to lead this discussion we're the halves the ritz carlton. >> we couldn't afford to stay here though [laughter]. . >> me either. so let's talk about the other side of the equation the suffering neighborhoods, the areas in which they are not enjoying the benefit of a a great economy. first of all in my first question for each of you, describe what that looks like in your city, give us a picture of how you view it, what does that impoverished neighborhood look like in your mind so first first describe that and then i want to move to the public safety and related issues to that. >> well, i'm sorry i just

came from a funeral of a a 16-year old in old in east oakland today so that's a little bit about what it looks like and statistic ly i think about the 60 percent of my kindergarten's arrive to kindergarten not ready to learn. they haven't had the language development, they have been exposed to too much trauma and grappling with mental and physical health challenges and they may live in both economically and housing instability and then by the time they get to third grade, which as you know, literacy is critical for success in school and frankly in life, the the disparities, the racial disparity 77 percent of my white kids read at grade level by third grade and so right there in the third grade we already

have a tremendous problem. and by the time they get to high school, they haven't seen that connection between their education and a potential career path we're only graduating two-thirds of our students from high school and i'm not even going to talk about how many of those end up going to college and how important that is particularly in today's knowledge economy and changing that story line is so critical and i focus on educational outcomes but knowing that educational success is so linked to health, to economic stability, so that is a little bit both a little picture and big picture of what it looks like in oakland. >> you know, obviously we all 3 of us know those parts of our city well we're probably called upon

down there for too many wrong reasons and isolation and hopelessness and a lot of kids standing around day and night in front of either their house or someone else's home with nothing to do and then you ask them what are you going to do and they say i'm hanging out. our hope sf program is an attempt to trans form those neighborhoods with those very kids and their families not to spite them it's not a brick and mortar program it's investing in those folks first with a heavy dose of critical services so that they know that there is some outcome that we would like to enjoy with them and then engage them in how to rebuild their communities with their involvement and that is hope sf used to be hope 6 in 6 in the federal program that went away we

created our own program and i'm a true i'm a true believer in it and we have public private partnerships and labor organizations with our city and using the government's rad program to be a great foundation for it and now at the point where there is a good plan so solid that private investors are coming and saying we can actually make an investment there because they are not just going to rebuild public housing no we're not we're going to rebuild communities in mixed income levels and schools are included in that and job training programs and employers and so that's the way we're rebuilding the entire southeast sector of our city from hunters points and sunny dale and west side courts and others and spots in between we're

doing this in our larger agenda of prosperity sharing and dealing with incoming equality and i've got to make sure we put enough, smart resources in the great equalize ers of the day things like having free meals for young people and having the best public education system we could possibly produce by getting companies like yours investing in all of the of the aspects of creating good schools the employment will be there because we have good employers but i've got to make sure the entire approach is one that isn't just brick and mortar it's actually got to be people first. >> there's a neighborhood south of downtown san jose called san jose and about a half dozen years ago we had some social gists and

less 1 percent of the kids even attended college over 20 years let alone graduated going back to the education piece libby was touching on and that's apparent that's the height of despair where the option isn't even on the radar of a a child and so we've been working with a lot of partners we need partners in san jose because we're not swimming in cash like ed is [laughter]. >> we're really not swimming in cash like they are [laughter]. >> you got to win three world series [laughter]. >> oh, we won't go there [laughter]. >> so we've got a fantastic couple of charter schools moving in and helping to drive

achievement and the best thing that ever happened to us is that the charter school moved in and we're working harder and we're working with the small businesses to help them become more successful and we're starting to see change but we we know it takes a lot of work and it takes a lot of partners. >> first i want to applaud all all 3 of you that you clearly understand holistically and that's very important so the last question on this part is think about what we've talked about, the great parts of the city, the challenging parts of the city, interjecting to that thought process what we've been dealing with in each of our cities around the country with policing and challenges and all of that and based on all that has

been happening, how have you been thinking differently about policing in your cities and for this region? >> i'm happy to kick that off. you know, i find it interesting that this issue of police legitimacy is actually tied to crime reduction that when you have a society where people actually think the laws and the judicial system are fair, they tend to about to abide by the laws and isn't that what we want? don't we want people to just voluntarily not break the law and not harm each other and not steal property so this issue of how your community perceives the fairness of your policing practices actually does have an impact on crime and we've seen in oakland our clearance rate and solve rate of serious violent crimes more than double over the last year and i credit that in large

part to the improved relationship with the community and we're getting more intelligent and cooperation from the community as we have made some huge reforms to our police department over these last 2 years and then you know gets back to the social determinants of health which i also think are the social determinants of safety and those are the educational outcomes and you can't just think about it on the enforcement end you have to think about the holistic picture. >> i'm always agreeing with libby but i'm going to agree with her again. yeah i was a criminal prosecutor for about 8 years and it's so critical to the task of everybody in the criminal justice system that you have witnesses that are willing to cooperate and come forward and testify and none of that happens if they don't trust the cops and that goes to the

issue exploding throughout the country and how we engage with our immigrant community and that they might might be deported if they come forward and those issues are really intertwined and you guys have deployed cameras on officers for over a year libby and that's clearly going to be the norm throughout the country and trying to bolster some some of the investigative power and it's not that we don't trust the police we know they are doing a great job and the best they can but everybody has to believe that we're that we're all pushing in the same direction. >> great. mayor lee? >> we continue to define what community policing is and when mr. hoff and the

chief and i took some kids out to watch a movie on martin luther king day, , we had a conversation with the very youth who had some strong feelings about the police relations of course after experiencing all the issues going around the country they said look we need safety in my public housing just as pacific heights needs safety and the question is can we trust our officers and one part is the culture and the other part is do they talk like us and look like us and can they distinguish me from bad dudes and do they know us well enough? and we said they probably don't and they need to spend more time but we can certainly -- in fact in 10 years since we had a

complete cadet program that recruited youth from the very diverse communities that had issues with trust so we began that again again with with public private dollars to the tune of one and a half million dollars and got a task of 40 directly recruited from the very high schools of kids who might want to be police officers and explore that. >> and i just want to since this is about regionism i want to thank mayor lee who shared that concept with me and i just put it into my budget people are thrilled and we call it the pipeline project actually reserving seats in our cadet program for our local high schools making a 3-year commitment to these youths until they are old enough to apply to be officers and secondly i want to thank you for helping us speed up our police recruitment for

oakland training officers so that is partnership. [applause]. >> that's great. >> now ed maybe you guys could lend us a few more cops too maybe a few more baseball players? >> we're out of time so i'm going to ask you to finish this sentence and we'll run out of here those of us going to the game. mayor lee are you going to give me police escort across the -- [laughter]. >> okay but we'd have to charge you. >> you can you can take bart. >> i'll take bart. >> here's the final question -- be rna rd? i wish you had asked me blank. [laughter]. >> i wish you had asked me what more can kaiser do to

support oakland's revital ization? [laughter] [applause]. >> we're all in. >> i wish you had asked me how many kids can we hire for your teen jobs program this summer? because pg and e are hiring ten kids. >> okay. we'll answer that one. i didn't mean for this to be personal. >> [laughter] [applause] okay but it's fair game. i wished you had ask me -- oh to be continued because i don't want to hear your answer. [laughter] i want to hear your answer. >> i wished you had asked me about the role of philant h.r. opy. >> very good. regarding

kaiser we have the privilege of caring for over 200 thousand in san francisco almost 200 thousand in oakland, 197 and 220 thousand in san jose and i want you to know it is an honor for me to know that you are the mayor of those three cities. let's give them a hand. [applause]. >> >> ever wonder about programs the city it working think to make san francisco the best place to work and will we bring shine to the programs and the
