done to reduce disparities in healthcare doesn't get old back. do we keep this fight up. that we don't let our people die in the streets. you know, one of the reasons i'm here is because i think i'm hiv positive. michael had talked about this historic moment that this represents. he talked about getting to zero. one of the critical point of getting to zero is no preventable hiv deaths. we've heard a lot in the chronicle about long-term survivors. and my brothers and sisters who have-who managed to survive this terrible epidemic-you know i can't tell you how lucky i am and really if you ask me the only reason i'm here is because of matt. >>[applause] you know, i

didn't really expect to see 40. if you had told me that i would be in a couple months, 60, that i- >>[laughing] thanks. you turned 60 last year, right? that i would would have a husband it was unimaginable that we would be able to marry and that i would have a daughter . i mean, the [inaudible] we make it i know so many other people like jeff getty like hank wilson did not make it but i know so many people were still struggling and their isolated. the services are not there for them that they really need. and i'm committed to the survivor community because that is the best way to honor no preventable hiv deaths.

>>[applause] so in 1981, beyond -and by the way i supported wilbert achterberg. i very grateful for the time mayor brown but back in 1981, when aids struck our community, and you know many places responded with hate. they said was god's will. they wanted to isolate us, quarantine us, put us away. laugh as we died. like ronald reagan. san francisco did something completely different.

the community, the city, embraced us. people from all across the city came together to support us. you know i looked at the on and carol megan, lesbian sisters held us together. you know, through those years, supported us that so many of us would be dead without the incredible supports of the city of san francisco and that model of coming together has to be the model we embrace now, today. our challenges are likely to be just as great are some of the communities that are gimme impacted by this new administration. so i would like to end by saying, may we not fight amongst ourselves but come together to fight together. >>[applause] so thank you for this great honor.

and- >>[inaudible] [off mic] you will wrap it up? great, thank you. >>[applause] >> thank you supervisor jeff sheehy. >>[applause] >>[cheerring] so this concludes today's performance. we all cannot sell present cookies and tea in the north light work and please, join us. thank you. >>[applause] >> >> >> >> i love teaching.

it is such an exhilarating experience when people began to feel their own creativity. >> this really is a place where all people can come and take a class and fill part of the community. this is very enriching as an artist. a lot of folks take these classes and take their digital imagery and turn it into negatives. >> there are not many black and white darkrooms available anymore. that is a really big draw. >> this is a signature piece. this is the bill largest darkroom in the u.s.. >> there are a lot of people that want to get into that dark room. >> i think it is the heart of this place. you feel it when you come in.

>> the people who just started taking pictures, so this is really an intersection for many generations of photographers and this is a great place to learn because if you need people from different areas and also everyone who works here is working in photography. >> we get to build the community here. this is different. first of all, this is a great location. it is in a less-populated area.

>> of lot of people come here just so that they can participate in this program. it is a great opportunity for people who have a little bit of photographic experience. the people have a lot, they can really come together and share a love and a passion. >> we offer everything from traditional black and white darkrooms to learning how to process your first roll of film. we offer classes and workshops in digital camera, digital printing. we offer classes basically in the shooting, ton the town at night, treasure island. there is a way for the programs exploring everyone who would

like to spend the day on this program. >> hello, my name is jennifer. >> my name is simone. we are going on a field trip to take pictures up the hill. >> c'mon, c'mon, c'mon. >> actually, i have been here a lot. i have never looked closely enough to see everything. now, i get to take pictures. >> we want to try to get them to be more creative with it. we let them to be free with them but at the same time, we give them a little bit of direction. >> you can focus in here. >> that was cool.

>> if you see that? >> behind the city, behind the houses, behind those hills. the see any more hills? >> these kids are wonderful. they get to explore, they get to see different things. >> we let them explore a little bit. they get their best. if their parents ever ask, we can learn -- they can say that they learned about the depth of field or the rule of thirds or that the shadows can give a good contrast. some of the things they come up with are fantastic. that is what we're trying to

encourage. these kids can bring up the creativity and also the love for photography. >> a lot of people come into my classes and they don't feel like they really are creative and through the process of working and showing them and giving them some tips and ideas. >> this is kind of the best kept secret. you should come on and take a class. we have orientations on most saturdays. this is a really wonderful location and is the real jewel to the community. >> ready to develop your photography skills? the harvey milk photo center focuses on adult classes. and saturday workshops expose youth and adults to photography classes.

>> 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 fo soon. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> greeting of peace brothers and sisters

other thank you. >> director bohe i'm the manager of the planning and design at the investment and infrastructure tiffany i'd like to say thank you for being a role model and i know i'm saying this on behalf of everyone on staff and particularly the preparation of the planning section but from a personal stand point i've phone number known you for many years and knew you when you arrived and an assistant park ranger you were smart from on your work and when i saw how hard of a worker at the mayor's office the living testimony you

provide to us of the fruits of commitment, of just pushing things through just making sure that everything is done correctly and i just echoing what was said about they're being to balance the focus on the details but also to balance the big picture i think this is something we all appreciate that we're all learn from when at first, you leave that is a sad thing for us but had to be said i think we'll keep you as an idea that's what i mean of a role model and in the future when we come up against something different what would tiffany 0 bohe do.

>> (clapping.) >> good afternoon, commissioners director bohe. >> enabling contract our. >> tiffany and i go way back and worked in mission bay back will 1999 i a.d. mirrors you then when i come through the years to recognize sometimes, people have opportunities and watch them go by. >> but tiffany was one of the people you know you learned as much as you could and continued to learn when you went over to you know work at the mayor's office of economic workforce development you know, i knew something good

was going to happen you come back to the agency that was a difficult time and personally thank you for your support. >> wow. >> (laughter). >> so, now thank you for your support personally i want the community to know the commission will push that envelope to make sure the folks in the city have access to housing, jobs, professional construction contracts and this city you know is an economic has economic challenges i want to thank you for being here you've been here for us i get to watch you as a black

filipino shine and continue to shine and we've had our conversation you'll do well and help to continue to push the envelope making sure that it is inclusive thank you actively just. >> thank you. >> (clapping.) >> any other speakers. >> madam chair. >> may i. >> absolutely. >> well, i'll follow-up on a few of the comments made i'm one of the few agency directors in my time and i know that you know each one had to face many challenges and significant ones major projects, protests and things that i'm sure have continued to haunt them and continued to effect them in some way i believe that nothing

compares to the experience that tiffany has gone through that is beyond imagination to think that we as an agency would be dissolved at the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012 and that we would come this far in rebuilding i want to remind people those who lived here and worked about the struggles of those that first year tiffany was the director not something we brought but dealt with but we went into this period of uncertainty a period where we became a city we were like a de facto to city department and had a situation we had to deal with a tremendous loss of funds and staff just the pain

that tiffany went through and the staff went through to get through that period and then all the contracts that we had to both catalog and the process of trying to define what projects would survive we worked tiffany worked very hard to in a creative way to expand what projects we were allowed to do unlike any other former redevelopment agency in the state this agency through her leadership was allowed to continue many of the major projects she had to deal with concerns and questions from the community and exceptions reinforcement promised a lot of things in the dissolved state no longer able to perform to deliver some

thought it would never deliver that maybe more difficult a period of time no commission and then a new commission and you pointed out madam chair rosales a learning experience with commissioners and directors tiffany throughout this project took the job to a new level allowed us to maintain our position of strength as an agency that can get things done and make projects succeed and one of the harder things that to rebuild starting almost if scratch throwing out the play book and basically rebuild an organization to that the where we can and have been for the past several years delivering

projects on time and in a meaningful way that helps the community and so you know, i think when the story of redevelopment and successor agencies it told tiffany's role will be a significant and prominent if not the most important one in maintaining those special powers of redevelopment the powers to fund projects to approve projects, to respond to the community, and for that besides the fact she kept me on i'm eternally grateful. >> thank you, jim. >> (clapping.) >> these have been some pretty powerful word i've mentioned earlier meeting of some days ago

i've gone through 14 contributions with the city i don't remember this much love in my one of those transitioned so speaks the world about you tiffany so thank you now we need a motion this is an action item. >> so is that possible to have a co-motion amongst all the commissioners. >> so it's been made and seconded by everyone pretty much with the commissions permission i'll ask our commission. >> yes. thank you. >> commission secretary. >> extraordinarily commissioner pimentel commissioner bustos is absent commissioner singh

get our information where you're going to be and like to hope you be in contact with whoever becomes the director here i'd like for it to be jim morales (laughter) or he's been a history of the thought various communities and what the agency stands and a has been about and will be about that's a plug for you jimmy just hope. >> they'll put someone with his status someone we can trust again, we love you in bayview hunters point and whatever i can do to help you don't hesitate to give me a call you'll truly be missed i'm glad the people's

district 5, where we'll hang with supervisor london breed and experience firsthand the renaissance underway at the buchanan mall. buchanan mall was connecting city blocks from grove to turk street and once besieged by violence, today it's revitaling community spirit with an urban garden. this is where anyone who grew up in the neighborhood and spend out any time outside we spent time at buchanan mall and we hang with one another and made it work. we had fun together. the good news is that it seems like the activation is bringing the community back to the area. this garden, i think, can do a lot for bringing the community together.

my hope is that with these cooking demos, that will bring folks out and they will start talking to one another when they probably normally wouldn't do that. crystal jem started cook as soon as she could start and the coordinator for community grows an organization that teaches cooking and nutrition, sanctifying growing spaces and nourishing communities. >> it was to have a sea of calm for pause and congregating. i see more people out. if they are out here playing, it's still safer. it's a beautiful spaces and people are less inclined to mess them up. it allows them to want to instill some sort of ownership over this good thing. before we did this buchanan mall project i had walked through

here -- hadn't walked through in ten years because of the dynamics of the neighborhood. >> for residents who kov founded green street a local business that offers re-cycling for the properties, activation took opportunity for the environment and community at-large. >> it's the but thy of the whole mission north and from the prison yards together and now we stand here today pushing good energy for those people around us. i learn businesses through this and now i can share business with my community.
