speaker rose to family being a movie producer a is bananas you have to deal with arcs by the way, everybody was talking about the acting in oracle anyway and also bringing financing together to make things happen and that's what this man side he is one of the reasons this is project is 100 percent privately functions we can't say that enough i was reading his bio on.org he's a prominent member of hollywood like saying kevin duran is a small acquisition you changed my life in 1983 with a flash cam

(laughter) to this day i can't look jennifer beal's in the eye today here to celebrate the beginning or the end of the beginning or a new beginning? i don't know is that the beginning i'm not sure but here's the owner of the warriors peter god bless berry. >> (clapping.) >> you got to be kidding me i had a check everything i was going to see check, check, check check they said it all terrific really nothing else to say only thing they especially\cover you're here with the shovels i was wondering if this was what was thrown at us over the last four and a half years (laughter)

the best goals always started as a dream and the people give it a time limit all our group to help made this happen so for the opening is the world-class venue required 9 years 9 years who but dreamers would undertake that kind of a journey you have to be a dreamer and allow yourselves to be pulled through it has to pull you and compel and make you go over all the obstacles and believe in that dreamers they face all the way down kinds of things and difficulties but push forward their dyslexia they push, push, push to get they are goals done. >> we all draw if past

references certainly for our dreams i had mine in the entertainment business the entertainment business you have a lot of surveys they use the f word and boy it hurts but have to give up we had a lot of bumps those bumps made us stronger and better and the changes made us better i've had films that takes 5 years to get made and shown in the theatre willie brown we built together the audience was so upset and stormed out of the theatre and shock the limousine how you handle the corrections and how you do that determines our ultimate outcome always determines the outcome you make necessary changes the men and women in our organization we speak to and for today none

westbound passengers all worked the three has made the different their tongue and wallet traveled in the same direction you believed them and they could lead you to o so the infrastructure grant fouls all because of the groundbreaking probably not next time builds a range of people and thing that will be protesting we'll see it through we haven't started shooting this movie you hear something say let's see a film on budget no, we have to do the work our teem with all the bumps in the road rather we doubled down on the commitment to see it

through and shape our dream much more to realize much more we can't suffer the faded of prematurity jubilation but our perseverance and determination will see us through but this dream is more than a venue of concrete you'll attract the artists they'll be drawn to this vessel in san francisco so perform and be the beacon and live and work rod other teams the glorious political events every city needs e needs one it is con superstitious but why is it so important because this we are not vigil people we're analogies we chore the diversity of our species men and women and

different gender and everything sharing laughing and crying together that's the purpose of those campfires and those venues every city needs it it had been great for san francisco. >> (clapping.) >> think of the essence of products with the house of dreams our dreams and children's dreams and shared expense the key won't would be the aptitude but the attitude of the builders did attitudes puts an to do on stare resides and attitude makes the difference show me someone with great attitude i'll show you a hit a success. >> so the key to us now is to build it to get it done more

action and less talk the whole damn process will be fought with parietal we have to cast it away and keep that vision strong and pull it pull up to it. >> nelson mandela said to me this misguided adversary can't take away your dreams colleagues this will continue to challenge you they'll scare you but keep you motivated you'll take greater focus to get us they're up there let's hope we didn't come this far to come this far yesterday is not the dedication only a station to realize this dream go for the great and enjoy the journey it is show time god

speed. >> (clapping.) >> that was show time. >> (clapping.) >> you know you mentioned greatness anytime you can be part of the group that is a greatest we think about the greatest players in mba history and rick berry and the late person we lost in july. >> (clapping.) >> our next speaker is one of the 50 most powerful women in business. >> (clapping.) >> hello. >> ladies and gentlemen, please please help me welcome to ceo chase to shanda duck even

though. >> all right. oh, my gosh thank you all i'm absolutely trifled to be here on behalf of the j.p. morgan chase and our 3 thousand bay area employees yes. >> (clapping.) >> it was just about a year ago we announced our existing partnership with the golden state warriors to bring a world-class venue to the bay area the bay area it a beacon for technology, innovation and education and we expect the new chase center will become a beacon for sports and entertainment and cultural as we prepare to break ground it on the chase center we're well aware the baby boomer is at the center of social changes as

technologies and cities are revitalized remust make sure that the individuals at the margin are brought in and 3w506r9d up while those in the middle are not pushed out over the next 3 years j.p. morgan chase will be investing $25 million to support initiated that help the bay area to continue on a pathway to more inclusive economic growth yes. >> (clapping.) >> as part of this commitment we announced last week chase center assist is community initiative that will tackle head on the bay area economic and social challenges by creating pathways to opportunity in a series of powerful local partnerships chase center will focus on 3 pillars last year

small business growth and housing development and education and workforce readiness we believe those are a powerful compliment to the important work the warriors are doing an incredible team and one of the most vibrant regions in the country i want to thank the team orientals joe and peter uber and wanting rick wells and mayor ed lee and the board of supervisors coach steve occurring and all the warriors players for all the pirnl and thank you for all you do i love basketball as sports growing up any entire life and love the quote teamwork makes the dream work, yes. >> (clapping.) >> that's what's going on in the city we'll bring incredible

things to life on this site thank you thank you, thank you giving chase the opportunity and the principle to be a part of that thank you. >> (clapping.) >> to shanda you were fired up, too you delivered doorway you delivered. >> next speaker great speaker and coach to things that impress me on one dbi in the room with the game sat next to michael just for the record said you ready and actually delivered he did the series winning shot the thing that best me most about the golden state warriors during the 1989, 1999 during the

lockout you bring those guys to vegas it get crazy in the casino goose in the private rooms gambling for a lot of money he look over at the $5 tackle between a grandmother and two guys in cowboy hats is steve occurring nursing $20 chips a man that will not get caught up in the behind the coach the golden state warriors steve occurring. >> (clapping.) >> thank you thank you i'm going to change gears everything has been said about the buildings i've been in the bay for 2 and a half years grew up in los angeles god and boo i spent the last 12 years of my

life in san diego you can go ahead and yawn if you want my point i'm a southern californian you mating may be able to tell by my attire i got dressed up i did there are fans and dress fancy really want to say if you're lucky enough in lifelike i've been you reach a point you get to choose when you work with and includes where you live and choose where you work by those metrics i want to stay here forever. >> (clapping.) >> i'm also an nba coach this building will take 3 years to build the chances of me standing

on the sidelines for the warriors are slim to hope as far so good hopefully, i'll still be here. >> (clapping.) >> i want to say something very important that say that i was lucky enough to get this job and to be become part of the partnership with joe and peter and rick wells and bob myers when i interviewed for this job that's the selling point that's what i bought into this is an incredible franchisee that is only begun to scrape the surface the fan base i placed for 15 years to play against bad teams the fans went crazy we have

amazing fans the ownership and the support i get from this group is fantastic behind the scenes e-mails and providing constant support is amazing rick and i worked together in phoenix for several years knowing rick was the president of the golden state warriors made me want to come an amazing group of people i want to point out bob myers that may have nothing to do with - >> (clapping.) >> he may have nothing to do with the construction of that but everything to do with the construction of kevin and our roster the most important asset we have bob has been an amazing partner an amazing general manager but an even better friend in his mind when you put together a group of people that

are committed to each other and the franchisee and to the warriors special things can happen that's exactly what happened here i want to make one final point about the ownership the fact that arena is privately functions is so important because i've before a sports man fanning any whole life living in san diego the late 12 years the charges were ripped away from that community i know there are a lot of economic factors and political issues you have an ownership group that recognizes they don't really own the team they write the checks but the community owns the team that's true. >> (clapping.) >> but the bay area owns the team and they have a tremendous task

as guardian of franchise and their taking on tremendous risk with the financial commitments at no cost to the city that is almost unheard of these days in professional sports i want to acknowledge that with an o vacation. >> (clapping.) >> the best way to mitigate it risk to put a great team have our business did not have a great product to sell we're fortunate we've been able to do that we only enhanced that with the arrival of the k d and. >> (clapping.) >> and i can be very honest when i say that is a thrill a enjoy to coach and team as talented as

this group and more gratifying to come to work everyday and enjoy the playgrounds for who they are as human beings kevin is representing our team today, our roster other guys are practicing potrero and i are taking the day off we earned it after last night. >> (clapping.) >> but ultimately what will make that building successful it the fans and the fan base that has supported this franchisee and the players who are playing high-level basketball in providing entertainment so at that point i'd like to bring up cal works d we'll move on. >> (clapping.) >> one of the things that has been talked about today is what

an amazing practices the bay area is the physical bout and cultural aspects i know one of the reasons you wanted to come here have you come into the city quite a bit. >> oh, yeah, he come a lot 0 one thing i see i talked with people in san francisco over in oakland and the east bay they selected this team for their team with the support and love is key makes coming in work better and we are existed for the future happy i'm here. >> you come here every night after games. >> yeah. >> a couple of restaurant he drives across country every game why not. >> why not. >> i know that mike was here and amazing i mentioned night every night the feel from the

crowd when you talk about what it feels like to be a warriors is good when you own the team. >> i'll tell you that (laughter). >> you know when you step out and put on the engineeringcy no matter in cleveland or the worst team in the league to play in front of them it amazing and makes us want to play harder we love the support and every time we 12e9 out there we try harder. >> how is the coaching. >> we'll try to step that up a little bit and try to get you to battling. >> coach before you guides sit down i'm not going to let you go kevin i want to ask you

something what i've i'll ask one question what does it mean to get that one the way you won. >> well, it's not the finally but you know it is an important game when you play 82 games some of the games take on more importance we wanted to win that game i think that was apparent. >> kevin you seemed like from the jump you were coming posz your will. >> yeah. the last game too against detroit (laughter). >> i'm assuming you are getting points every night. >> you did it against miami. >> what is the win last night. >> it was great to get a win take care of the home court and the infanticide were great tried

to give them a good show. >> do you want to tell the owners anything. >> it will be very exciting. >> they're going kevin duran and steve occurring thank you, gentlemen. >> (clapping.) >> right now kevin agent is screaming what are you doing you know talking about the chase center we mentioned, of course, the home of the golden state warriors but an entertainment venue now to entertain you we'll bring out the world renowned the san francisco symphony and some of the members.

the most historic one that along with the tenderloin houses sit portions of the housing dating back to the 19 century those neighbors have housed the low income longshoremen and the manila town throughout the city seasonal labor depends on the sros for lodging awhile following pay as you go work opportunity sometimes working to support families elsewhere filipino and chinese and japanese in japantown and african-american recognizing from the south found a home in single-room occupancies hotels in san francisco unfortunately, a wave of demolition swept across san francisco an unwarranted america throughout

around since 1946 state and local or shortly before the ordinance in 1981 a moratorium the city passed to protect those units that was seeing those residential gift rooms despair there was a housing emergency so for this type of housing that was opted out by then elderly and disabled so as you said supervisor this ordinance has not been amended since 1990, 1992 and been around a while and we do have currently quite a few measures to enforce the ordinance primarily to treat ios residential units if being xhefrntd there be approximately 20 thousand a little bit less than 20 thousand gift rooms and

5 hundred hotels three hundred for front of the hotels the rest run by nonprofits along with the nonprofit buildings are participate in city programs and the la of the problems are for profit hotels and others conversion of a lot of the residential gets guests rooms this will be addressed and slide

>> artists necessarily the business records they need for tax purposes and other reasons we've in the past seen the coming back of the books, if you will, of records that didn't reflect how the building is operated enough hotel do this they talk about the proper rents this is an important part of the legislation we are doing this for a 7 can i rental if a breeder hotel is out there a lot of them are renting for 7 days

ask for a lot more information we'll have a better understanding and be able to monitor and be fair in the residential for the residential use so there are other issues in the ordinance 3 would be helpful to the department if it is violated one of the things that is taken away a taller change the occupation so have 25 percent of the residential guest rooms that's abuse and if somebody is constantly not giving an accurate picture

they're representing the room on essentially for tourists use as part of investigation will be able allergy to see the significant evidence that will be taken away that is given - create a situation we're not encouraging to the app unquote record we're encouraging them to file the ordinance and preserve the rooms with that, i don't have anything else to add at this point if you have any questions i'll be happy to answer them. >> supervisor peskin. >> if you can explain the preservation fund and the in lui conversion funds work. >> thank you, supervisor when

residential hotels was the cal hotel contaminate i at a time we were looking $50,000 a unit and one hundred and 50 thousand we're told they have research by the mayor's office of housing those units should be at a point around three hundred thousand a

unit without that kind of upgrades to the legislation we're at a disadvantage with the reminded that is needed to preserve those rooms. >> thank you particularly for the seniors and the immigrants for facilities this was a housing stock that needed to be protected we find we're continuing to lose

the units in the 1990s many of you came to us and the organizations to ask for stronger enforcement and allow for nonprofit a point of action to support our city and city attorney's office in suhr we're protecting those units your on the ground and see the units that we see for the protective status it is great to see that over the past two decades this was one of the most important and effective collaboration that the city has with our nonprofits and our community leaders in assuring we don't losses more sro hotels given the immense housing crisis that is unprecedented over the last couple of years we're seeing that many have never we never thought we'll see the sros rooms

of thought it couldn't happen but i think this piece of legislation is an important next step in further the sro conversion ordinance and glad to be a cory represent the district with the most sro hotels i'm proud of the fact that not only do you search warrant this but the strong i did community leaders that helped us to shape this protective through the work you're seeing on the ground and the difficulties you face in lower-income the sro i want to thank the central city thank you and commissioner peskin an others for putting this altogether before us today role proud to honor your work all right. supervisor kim.

interesting things they have 43 vacant out of 80 puss rooms in a tourist city like san francisco hard to building those are 3 examples and you know there are more we can can you be where clearly the report so not lining up with what we see on the ground and at the rate this is going in this past two years an 8 percent loss of sro stock in the mission alone not counting loss if market-rate housing but that rate means in less than 25 years all sro housing will be gone with the conversions to market-rate housing that that will be less. >> thank you is - come down. >> good afternoon. >> born and raised in san
