faster to go through the change of use process and therefore we could address some of these vacant storefront issues. >> right. okay. >> i can get another reading on that for the next meeting. >> that would be good. that would be good to have a sense of -- and if it does affect any of our process. >> we continue to work closely with the mayor's office and the members of the board on improvements that can be made in the vacant storefront situation, and we are getting a lot more reported vacancies, so the total number on the d.b.i. list right now is about 500. >> right. and i think that sprung off of, i think supervisor fewer did her own inventory in her own district. it might be interesting to contact the other supervisors to have them help us. >> right. well, i know we have

specifically about the holiday season and how important it is to make sure that we are supporting the businesses writing san francisco. right in our neighborhood character and part of that, is on saturday, when a lot of us are hanging out with our family and friends and we decides that we want to go shopping, while you don't have to go to the crazy mall and deal with all the parking drama. you can probably walk outside your door to one of the small businesses right in your neighborhood. i want san franciscans and people who come here from all over to make a commitment to support our small businesses throughout san francisco. so small business saturday is an opportunity for us to really support our small businesses and invest in our communities so we can make sure that san francisco is thriving all over the city. as we enjoy a 2.3% unemployment right mac, let's remember a few statistics that i have here

because i can't remember them all. but more than 95,000 businesses in total existing san francisco. 53,000 of those businesses are small business that employ 325,000 people. 7900 restaurants, cafés and food stories and beverage establishments actually employ over 100,000 people. we are not only talking about the business itself and the owners. we are talking about the people who are actually employed in our small business community as well today we have an amazing opportunity to not only support small business saturday, but we have some folks here from bayview hunter's point community and this saturday, this saturday we are going to be hosting the bayview makers mark up -- bayview baker's mash up market.

that is a tongue twister. but it is where makers and folks from all over the bayview community who actually make and manufacture their own products in the bayview hunter's point community, will come together for a pop up on saturday to sell their items. what a great opportunity to support the makers and folks at the bayview hunter's point community. we want to thank you for coming to the other side of town to support this particular event. san francisco is an amazing place. we know that if we continue to support our small businesses, we will be an even more amazing city. we also know that there are some times that there will be challenges. that is why we have our police chief here to deal with some of the challenges that exist as people are enjoying the holidays we want the entire experience to be incredible. we want you to come and park and take munimobile, we want you to walk, but we also want you to be safe and make sure we are

protecting your property. without further ado, i want to introduce our police chief, bill scott, to talk about the plans for the police department during the holiday season. [applause] >> thank you. first of all, i will start with where the mayor left off. shop and dine in the 49. it is christmas on the holiday season. it is my favorite time of year. people get out. it is all about togetherness. it is all about community and we want everyone to be safe in doing so. i have a few simple tips, basic tips but if you listen and pay attention to what i will say, it will keep you safe during the holiday season. first of all, we have these placards. you see these around the city on bus benches and you see them on the back of our munimobile buses park smart. what this means is that for everybody to take a little bit

of time to think about your own personal safety. parks marked. do not leave valuables in your car visible for anyone to see and take from you. if you have to leave them in your car, lock them up in your trunk but preferably if you can take them with you, take them with you. one of the things the city has done really well with the business community and the community members on the police department and the mayor's office as we have come together and we had a very serious spike of car break-ins. we came together and we reduce that. part of the reason we reduced it is because we got the message out that we don't want to become easy prey for people to take advantage of us. parks might. a couple of other tips. we all have cell phones. i have taught all of them and we all are in our cell phones. pay attention to your surroundings. calls are important and techs are important to, especially when i get one from the mayor, but we want you to pay attention to your surroundings.

know what is in front of you and behind you as you go out and shop and enjoy the city. because a little bit of influence can go a long way in your personal safety. the next thing, if you see something reported. if you see something, say something. we see suspicious activity and we see things that just don't look right. we will come and check it out for you. we want people to be safe. please, if you see something that looks out of place, call us we don't mind coming at all. the next thing, is make sure that when you go out and you shop, that you have really thought about and planned your trip. i know when i go out, particularly for holiday shopping. you have bags and bags of bags and you have a lot of merchandise. people sometimes, if they want to take advantage of you they will watch you put things in your car. pay attention to your surroundings and if you plan your trip, you don't want to put

things in your car then go back in shopping when someone might be watching you. if you do that, you might want to move your car to another location or weight and plan and make sure you have a plan in terms of how you will do your shopping. so you think about it so you will be victimized. and last thing that i have for you all today is make sure if you are shopping with small kids , particularly with small kids, have a reunification plan. we have quite a few situations where kids get lost and they don't know what to do when they get lost. have a reunification plan. at least make sure that they know who to call and they know to look for someone in authority and in a uniform. and what to do if they do get separated from you. have a reunification plan if you are shopping with your family. i will end this as i started.

whatever you do, do it in san francisco and shop and dine in the 49. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. we want you to have fun but we also want you to be safe. i also would like to acknowledge the president of the small business commission who is here. thank you so much for joining us today. [applause] with that, i'm excited to welcome to the podium your supervisor for district two, catherine stefani. [applause] >> thank you. i want to welcome everyone to district two and union street. one of my favorite streets in district two and of course, here in one of my favorite restaurants. the other day someone was asking me, how do you do it all, you have two kids and cooking. >> i don't cook. i used to but i'm really good at ordering take-out from the italian homemade. we do it two or three times a

week. i recommend this restaurant and i want to say a huge thank you for that hosting us today and for being a staple of our union street community. san francisco is lucky and the number of diverse units --dash neighborhoods within the 49 square miles and i have the privilege and honor of being the district two supervisor and working with our amazing corridor is like union street. the strength of our commercial district is built on our local businesses. in san francisco, i think the mayor already said this so i don't need to repeat it, we have over 95,000 businesses and of that, 53 are small businesses. supporting them is important. in its fifth year, shop and dine in the 49 promotes amazing small businesses and challenges us all to spend locally. the statistic i thought was very interesting. if we increase local spending by one% it could generate $100 million of economic activity in our city. it is so important. when you are shopping, it is so

important to know you need to park smart. i am so proud to have been able to launch this campaign in district two with commander lazar and the caption. we did so much work on the park smart campaign. as a result, car break-ins are down by 21% in northern station which is most of district two. i just really want to thank everyone for their attention in the police department. it has been working and we have a lot of work to do. again, i want to thank the mayor , director torres, chief scott, and others. i really want to thank our small business owners, most importantly. thank you very much to mateja and alice for hosting us this afternoon. thank you to the union street merchants association. i've been working with you for 12 years and you keep this street driving and we are so grateful to you. remember, strop local, park smart and have a very happy thanksgiving.

[applause] >> thank you. it is so exciting to be here. to break ground on 100% affordable housing. [cheers and applause] >> finally, after almost ten years, we are finally building -- building affordable housing in the mission for those whose income ranges anywhere between 30 and nifty% a.m.i. and i think i'm more excited because -- 30 and 50% a.m.i. and i think i'm more excited because even though we have had

challenges making sure people who live in the communities can have access to the affordable housing built in their community , we will not have that problem with this project. because of the neighborhood preference legislation that i and others on the board of supervisors put through a few years back, i got so much support for that legislation from this community. to dedicate 40% of the 80 units to the people who live in this district first. [applause] there are so many people that have made this possible and i just want to thank each and every one of you for all of your hard work, including the mayor possess office of housing, bridge has an, of course, commission housing development corridor, thank you for your advocacy and your work around not just helping to build new affordable housing, but the small sites acquisition program, and all the work that you continue to do.

all of the architects and the contractors, thank you all so much for being patient, working hard, putting together a project that we know is going to be absolutely incredible in this community. i also want to acknowledge, in addition to neighborhood preference, some of you may know that there are people who live in public housing. there are challenges with locations and we also have an opportunity to welcome in residence of public housing to this new development as well. it's part of the plan. a way to try and make sure that people have access to affordable housing. that people are able to stay in their communities. i just want to thank each and every one of you for the hard work and i see someone who snuck in here and is trying to hide. roberto hernandez. thank you for your advocacy and

the work that you have done to help us with neighborhood preference. holding folks in city hall accountable to make sure that the housing that gets promised to this community gets built in this community and that we do a better job as a safety of providing opportunities with our application process. because the real work begins. we better get -- we build the housing but we have to make sure that we outreach all over this community to folks unfortunately , in some instances struggling and in the process of being displaced. that we make sure that we help them get those applications in. that is what i am committed to. the planning department to, thank you so much for being here thank you to each and every one of you for your work. i am excited to be here during this groundbreaking and i'm looking forward to making sure that we don't let another ten

years go by before we break ground on another affordable housing development. [applause] folks, let's celebrate today and tomorrow, let's continue to roll up our sleeves and get to work. we have got to do more, not just in the mission, but all over the city and county of san francisco thank you all so much for being here today. >> thank you so much, mayor breach. and the project manager at bridge housing. for the last two years, it has been my pleasure to shepherd this project to this moment right now, which is so exciting. we are going to replace this vacant gas station with a beautiful building. it is really thrilling for me to say that. i would like to welcome supervisor hilary ronan which includes district nine. she has been a champion for many of the projects. we are glad you can be with us. thank you so much.

[applause] >> thank you everybody. what an exciting day. this site right here represents such a huge victory for the mission community. i. i love the fact that our friends are holding a sign that says house keys, not handouts. thank you! [cheers and applause] that is exactly what we want in our community. eighty-one units of truly affordable housing. sometimes when we talk about affordable housing, we are talking about housing that people are making over $100,000 are eligible for. not at this site. we are talking about a family of four earning $35,000 a year who will be living right behind us. finally housing for the families that we have all been fighting for in this neighborhood. it is truly remarkable. what's even more remarkable about this, and i've seen so

many faces of so many people i love in this crowd, this was slated to be luxury housing. it was going to be housing for people -- for people who grew up in the neighborhood would never be able to afford. and this community fought hard, fought a long, fought to get $50 million from the last affordable housing bond to come to the mission district. this was one of the sites that came out of it. please give yourselves a round of applause, mission community, because you made this site happen. i also want to congratulate mission housing development corporation his. is such an important organization in our community. this is the first time in ten years that you are breaking ground on a new affordable housing site in the mission which is just incredible. you are back in action and you

will be the powerhouse organization that in the past is built so much housing in our neighborhood and are doing so again. shortly after this, you will break ground on 1950 mission, which will be another truly affordable housing site. mission housing development corporation and housing in the mission. we couldn't be more excited. we love you, and as the mayor said, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work and get this housing built. congratulations. [cheers and applause] >> thank you supervisor ronen. we are pleased to be working hand-in-hand with your office on the critical issues that our community continues to face. just like supervisor ronen just said, there was a point in time where many did not believe that mission housing was going to make a comeback. so we were resilience.

just like this communities. our team came back stronger than ever, with one goal in mind. to uphold our mission statement, to build affordable housing in our district. in san francisco. our board supported us every step of the way. this isn't just a celebration for mission housing today. but it is a win for this neighborhood. at this specific site, was one because of community advocacy. today we come together as a community to celebrate. our next speaker is someone i work with on a daily basis and i've gotten to know him extremely well. i have to say that his spanish has gotten a little better. he loves latin food. particularly tacos. if you ever want to offer him something to drink, offer him some tamarind water.

he is currently laughing. you can find him specifically at the panel discussions, at schools during presentations on affordable housing, asking either myself or a team member in the organization to help a local nonprofit in the mission. or walking around wearing a t-shirt with various messages. many of them about housing. his work has not gone unnoticed. certainly not by our team or our board or affordable housing community. he has been my counterpart in mission housing. together, we have overcame many obstacles to get to this place of celebration and groundbreaking. i am very pleased and honored to introduce our executive director of mission housing, my counterpart. [applause]

>> i feel like everyone said my whole speech, i guess i can go home, right? thank you, everyone. thank you so much from the bottom of my heart and for mission housing. >> it has been a nostalgic kind of a day, thinking back on seven years ago and where mission housing was and where i was. i can't -- there were countless meetings of me -- of people telling me i was crazy for thinking that i could help take over mission housing. that will never happen. it is impossible. you are never coming back. over and over again, if it wasn't for marcy at and the staff and our board and the leadership and support, it probably would have been rights. the fact is, mission housing was created to actually develop community. mission housing was created to

be a backbone for infrastructure or whatever you want to call it. that is what we are again. i am really proud to stand here next to this broken dirt and guarantee that 80 some odd units of affordable housing are coming but what i'm most proud to do is to be with our community and to break ground with the people who stood by us. the people who didn't believe that this wasn't going to weigh. who wanted us to regrow. i would like to personally dedicate this building and the rest of our building to the mission community. why don't we give the mission community a hand we -- why do we give them a hand? [applause] >> i would be remiss if i got up here and i didn't point out to the fact that this project and all the thousand units of affordable housing in the

mission were originally and only made possible by a man who had the foresight to lead and to listen to the mission community. when mayor ed lee decided to focus on affordable housing and fix our public housing and to build more units, it was something -- that without it, i don't know mission housing could have come back like we have. while he is not here physically with us, i am fairly certain he is looking down on us and smiling. thank you. [applause] >> i really do want to thank the mayor and all of our partners and supervisor ronen. there so many people. i'm sorry, i honestly have not been this tongue-tied ever. anyone who knows me knows what an emotional day this is been. i will just leave by saying thank you.

thank you for believing in mission housing. i assure you that we believe in ourselves and that we will not go another ten years. we won't go another ten months for another groundbreaking. if unlimited money was made available, we wouldn't say no to that. okay. let's get on with the show. thanks, everybody. [cheers and applause] >> thank you so much. it is a pleasure to work with you and john and michael and your whole team in partnership on these projects. i would like to introduce the c.e.o. and president, cynthia walker. when she joined us, she brought a long-term commitment to affordable housing with her cat demonstrated by 30 plus years of experience from alaska, seattle and now here in san francisco. she has been projects like this to life for a long time. i appreciate cynthia's leadership.

through all the twists and turns that we go through, trying to blow things out of the ground, and there are many, many twists and turns. i feel personally supported by cynthia. please welcome cynthia parker. [applause] >> thank you. thank you everyone who is here today. it does indeed take a village to get this type of development off the ground. we can't do it without the support of our partners and also , bakers, the mayor, assembly members, supervisors, everyone who is here has had a hand in making this happen. but it is particularly an auspicious project because of our partnership with mission hell being with sam and his group. and also, the neighborhood preference, which is incredibly important here. in this code today, for someone

to rent a market rate unit, they have to earn a wage of $54.76 an hour in order to pay the rent on an unrestricted property. so with this particular 100% developed project back we are able to rent it to families who are making $35,000 a year. a family of four. we are not reaching everyone because there are many people who live in this neighborhood to make less of -- less than that. recent survey of latino residents in the neighborhood indicated 30% of them made about $11.56 an hour. they are still living here and as rents go up, they are being forced out. i want to thank the mayor personally for her efforts and for everyone who has advocated for the neighborhood preference.

and for also making resources available and the support that is necessary to get this type of 100% development project off the ground. it takes a village and it takes all of us to make a commitment. i see you have some tears in your eyes. i think i met sam when i got here a little over seven years ago. he was in another job and another life and then he left and called me up. he said, i've gone to work at mission housing. and i said well, cool. he said we have not done a project for the longest time. do you want to topically come on over. he did. he said this is what my vision is for mission. i want to get it back on the grounds and i want to be developing more housing. i want to be focused on the housing in the mission and i want to catalyze all of the things that have gone on in that community.

i said, how can we help we what happens as a result of that is that we formed a deep partnership. we are engaged with other organizations because it takes a village to create this type of work here. but i really celebrate the fact that this is our first project. we will have another one breaking ground very shortly, and it will also accommodate families and seniors and we will have children living here. it will be back to the neighborhood. that's what is so important. i want to also comment on an article that i saw in the paper today, in the chronicle, which i thought was sort of interesting. it was a contrasting of new york and san francisco. i can't --dash i don't know if it is accurate or not. i certainly hope it wasn't but i did fire up an e-mail to the chief of staff.

i said new york has made this commitment to housing and to affordable housing and to public housing that san francisco has not done. and that is why new york is much more economically diverse. my e-mail back to his chief of staff was someone i happen to know, was i hope this isn't an accurate statement. the next city, with this mayor, this is not the case. i want to thank you mayor breed. i want to thank everyone who works in this city. i know projects like these is a commitment that the city has that will make this city support the residents of the city and always and providing more housing. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, cynthia. i want to take a moment. we said it takes a village. i want to name a couple of the folks who have been critical in bringing this to life. tom, chris, dan and miguel and
