and by the fifth year, one of those sites, and i happen to just plug in pier 19, we assumed, would actually be vacated from that storage leasing and be prepared for a development site. and pier 38, throughout, we actually assumed light storage, which just generates about $50,000 a year. so it's really piers 19 and 23 where we generate good money in that interim period. and the irony is we actually make more off of those sites in the base case than in the high case, because in the high case we assume we would be able to vacate pier 19 by the fourth year, and we would vacate pier 23 by the fifth year. so all-in-all, we probably lose up wards of $5 million from those two sites in the window,

but the tradeoff is we would be developing a long-term solution for those facilities. >> i understand. i was just wondering how we could hit that target for 2020. it' it's aggressive, but i like being impressed. >> noted. >> under item number 11, you have a large jump in revenue from 2021 to 2022, and then, it jumps up the next year, you know, relatively large. walk me through why you think the rent is going to go up 60 or 70% in that business operation between those two years. >> so the first two years really reflects leasing during the time of construction whereas the following three years represent completion of the project, and then, establishment of a solid revenue stream. as far as the jump between the

third and fourth years, i think that really is -- since i don't have it broken-down quite as much detail for myself, i would assume it's a partial year in that third year, something to that effect. >> great. thank you. that concludes my questions. >> thank you. commissioner adams? >> megan, you're lucky. i wish you were up first. do the fireworks last, and everybody would still be here. president brandon doesn't like us. >> we're all relaxed now, right? >> couple questions. i want to go back to what doreen and victor were saying. [inaudible] >> yeah. >> okay. [inaudible] >> yeah. >> couple other things. with the tariffs that the president has, i know it's probably not -- i don't know if it'll affect the port of san francisco, but in the larger ports, we're being affected by soybeans and other things. china has stopped buying soybeans from us, and are going

to other countries. are these tariffs, at some point, could they hurt or bottom line? i mean, say the economy goes -- >> possibly. >> maybe it's too early to tell. >> yeah. i think it's a very good question, and auto imports and exports in particular could be affected by tariffs, and we have a lot of auto customers at pier 80, and it is possible it could be affected. >> it's still growth, it just might be modified growth. >> okay. second, you said shoreside power, and that's going to allow us to have 30 more carnival cruise ships come in, something like that? >> let me explain that a little bit. we're expecting the card would

take effect in fiscal year 20-21, it's midyear. we're expecting to have an increase of 30 cruise calls from carnival. once card takes effect, we're actually forecasting a dip, a reduction of 20 cruise calls, so assuming we're still maintaining that carnival business, but for those nonshoreside power clipped ships, we would have to reject 20 calls. this forecast -- so we would have -- the forecast has a nice climb right up front, and then, it drops down as c.a.r.b. takes effect, but thankfully, it appears as though our customers are going to have shoreside

power. >> thank you. >> megan, thank you so much for a detailed report in the lightness of the hour, and the fact that i'm losing commissioners. >> i have just one because i won't be at the february meeting. on the event, the cruise ship events, are we happy with the amount of special events in the cruise ship terminal? do we think metro is on track or are they behind what we think they might be? >> i think they are very happy with it. i actually dropped in a special section in the report just on special events because i knew that this was an important topic, and i think that basically he feels like we're meeting our, you know, basically capacity at special events, given that we're having to alter events from cruise

ships being in. we're very happy. thank you. >> okay. >> great. >> clerk: items 13-b, informational presentation on the port's ten-year capital plan for fiscal year 2019-2020-2028 to 2028 to 2029. [please stand by]

. >> we're targeting our available funds to strategic projects to generate revenue and securing external sources of revenue to keep growing the pie. and we see those successes in many instances here for example with the orton project that's reduced our capital need by $78 million in this project. similarly, the alcatraz project is bringing in additional money, $34 million of enhancements to that site, so improve its capital value. not going through all of these,

but to touch on a few others, through the waterfront land use plan update, we've really gained clarity and flexibility on our management districts. >> we are we also see again

some strategic -- [inaudible] >> we also update cost estimates, so as we get better estimates in developing our capital improvement program, those numbers are reflected here. and most significantly, really, at this time, with the passage of time, like the rest of the city, we escalate costs to reflect the increasing costs of doing work in san francisco. the city's capital planning committee sets a rate after doing an analysis, and we follow their same rates. so for the past two years, this show reflects escalates of 5.75 and 6%, respectively. on the other side of the

equation, we have enhancements, and this category isn't always completely intuitive. the city capital planning committee makes sure that a facility is left in better than its original state. we're making it better than it originally was, it shows up under enhancements. the others here are development projects as well as the conditional seismic which is really a category of potential costs that could occur if change of use or major expansion of a structure on a pier occurred. and similarly here, we've seen a number go from 1.8 billion to 1.9 billion, from work completed, the orton reduced our seismic need. updated cost estimates, as well as the passage of time.

so you see the seawall cost go down because seawall work will have been completed from the prior two plans to the time we reach this plan, so that leaves us with a $3.5 billion total need. now we turn to looking at the funding sources that we have projected in the continue-year period. we're -- ten-year period. we're forecasting $4.7 billion funding needed. if you look at the blue, you'll see port sources, which go primarily to state of good repair, and in green, we see the external sources, which while significant push goes to enhancement, they also play a significant role in our ability to perform state of good repair. breaking thousands down further, we see they're made up of port capital as well as the tenant improvements. on the external sources, ten t

tenant -- public improvements, and mixed in with grants. putting all of those together, how close do we come to being able to fund that? we anticipate funding 48% of that total need in a ten-year period, and then a portion of that funding, which is really only a potential need, which leaves us with a $1.2 billion need unfunded in this plan, which is primarily a state of good repair needs, and that mostly inspires us to keep striving and keep working those strategies to narrow the gap. so i just want to circle back to those three strategies briefly. as we look at the chart below, this really reflects this port's commitment at the commission's guidance to keep dedicating funding to capital, and so we see in the gray bars the annual capital budget. generally increasing over time and having bumps as we get

one-time sources, so it goes up, not smoothly, but up consistently, and we see the designation to capital, as well, going up, and as we just heard from megan, really thinking about the years past this plan. right now, it looks good, that we will be able to continue this trend in dedicating more to capital and narrowing our gap. we also continue to target available funds to strategic projects. as we move into preparing our next capital budget and capital improvement program, director forbes is pushing us to evaluate our criteria and making sure we're being strategic about our investment decisions, and we're trying to secure external sources of funding for capital needs. megan already touched on the special use districts and our increased ability to use those

to help really expand the pie of sources available for projects, so we've seen new subareas of infrastructure financing districts setup for pier 70, quarter front and mission rock this year. another piece that will hopefully help shape the capital plan has been the embarcadero. as we are able to advance those, we hope to see development projects in some instances that cannee address that need and address state of good repair and bring in new enhancements and new use and life to the waterfront, and that would be reflected in future plans. time for questions. >> thank you very much. commissioner woo ho. i'm just going to ask, so on the seawall, we've identified what we have from the bond, but

we have not identified what the long-term capital need is in total yet on this plan. >> that is true. we talk about the long-term potential up to $5 billion need in the narrative section but have not set that number. >> i think that timing and thinking of that will -- >> we will, it will be good for us to know in the next ten years, because we do need to get a better fix on what that number is.

[please stand by]. >> -- but i can't say how long that $5 billion is going to take, how long, so if we knew the number for the next five years, and the number for the next ten years, it would help to explain because i do think we get asked that question in terms of being able to answer the question. and what most of the questions are, what sources are you looking at, and obviously we say state and federal, but -- but i think that we know that the port's not going to

generate $5 billion. we raise so much visibility about the issue, so now, we get asked about it all the time. so now, we are a victim of our own success. >> we will get more answers for you. in planning out for the space, we will get many more answers for you. we're still in an exploratory phase with the multihazard risk assessment, when we have those results, we'll have much more definition on where we're headed. >> i just want to say on that, we're making progress in terms of trying to show the change from year to year, and that we are making progress and we're hopefully getting more operating surplus, but it's still slow going, but at least the number is -- at least it's not -- except for the seawall side, it's not getting far worse. >> that's right. >> the seawall is the big kahuna there. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner adams? >> no. >> you're good? >> yeah. >> thank you so much for this presentation. you did a wonderful job.

i look forward to the item next month. >> clerk: item 14-a, request adoption of protest and appeal process for personal wireless service facilities, site permits, resolution number 1903. >> good evening, commissioners. chief harbor engineer. i can be very brief. i have a really great slide deck, but the commission reports in front of you, what i'm asking here today is for the commission to adopt a protest and appeal process for personal wireless service facility site permits. the port uses the substantive provisions of the city's public works code in issuing certain types of encroachment permits, including permits for personal wireless service facility sites, and rights of way under

port jurisdiction. article 25 of the city's public works code establishes permit procedures for personal wireless sites including a protest and appeal procedure. the port would like to develop a clear and equivalent process to that use by public works. >> if you could flip forward, rod, to the proposed port procedure just so the commission can look at the chart to aid in questions, thank you. >> yeah. so this is the port process that we have developed -- or it follows the port -- the procedure that is -- has been developed and used by public works. the only differences are in the red dashed box and the red process boxes where we are going to -- we'd like to substitute the chief harbor engineer for the director of public works as the decision

maker on the initial protest, and if the protest is then appealed -- or the decision is appealed, we would like to use the port building code review board instead of the city board of appeals to decide the action. >> okay. could i ask a question? >> we need a motion -- are you done with your presentation in. >> -- your presentation? >> yes. >> okay. can i get a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> is there any public comment on this item? no? okay. >> okay. so you have to take me back to help me understand exactly what personal wireless service facilities means. does this mean, you know, a

company wants to put something in separate. we're not talking about the at&ts or verizons or whatever. >> this is actually the verizons or the at&ts. >> oh, it is. >> yeah. so in the 4-g cellular network that we have, it's typically pretty good size installations. the reason why we're in front of you now is there are a couple of permits that we're dealing with that closed some holes in the carrier's network. you can see in the boxes -- in the photos on the right show the difference between what the antenna looks like and the pole without the antenna.

>> okay. >> and i have a -- let's see -- >> all right. and then, my only other question, looking at future technology, when 5-g comes, is it going to be hardware wise similar or is it going to be something different? >> this is going to be -- my understanding is that 5-g will utilize many devices like this. it's going to be a lot of smaller devices and not big antennas, so it's good for the port to own a process so we can hear process and appeals kind of contained within the port jurisdiction. >> okay. no more questions. >> commissioner adams? >> i'm fine. >> thank you for the presentation, the very brief presentation. so why would there be an appeal? >> well, the -- say you're in an apartment or you're living in your house, and this is a --

an antenna that's stuck, and it actually blocks your view. you should be able to protest that installation. the federal communications act or there's a communications act limits what you can appeal or what you can protest. they don't allow local jurisdictions to hear protests on radio frequency health effects. they've already set those guidelines, but if it's blocking your view or -- basically, it's blocking your view, i believe. >> have we had any? >> no, we have not. >> okay. >> but with the advent of 5-g, i feel like this can come up. >> okay. all in favor? [voting] >> resolution 1908 have been approved. >> item 14-b, new business.

[please stand by] . >> clerk: and item 16 is adjournment. >> i make a motion that we adjourn in the memory of mike denman and florestine johnson. >> so moved. >> that was the motion? >> second. >> oh, second, sorry. all in favor [voting] >> we are adjourned.

[singing] [singing] [cheers and applause]

>> please welcome, chris verdugo , executive director of the san francisco gay men's chorus. >> good morning. on behalf of the board of directors, staff, and about a tenth of our singing members that are with us, it is an honour to welcome you to our new home for the mayor's first state of the city address. as we begin to envision this space over a year ago, our intention became clear, we wanted to create a centre where lgbtq artists and organizations could come together, a space where they could collaborate and incubate new works pack and affordable and safe space, a place to present master classes and lecture series, and to host a middle and high schools aged students with our educational programs, rhythm, reaching youth

through music, and the it gets better showcase pick a venue that would house a state-of-the-art broadcast facility so we could transmit these incredible transformational and inspiring events to a global audience. a space that espouses the san francisco values of diversity, acceptance, equality, entrepreneurship, and creativity a home where art and activism come together, and it is my honor to welcome you to that space today. [applause] our new home, and the nation's first-ever lgbtq centre for the arts is a continuation of what began over 40 years ago on the city hall steps. that moment where 99 men raised their voices in anger and sadness, but also in hope, singing the song that you just heard, singing for our lives,

and thereby sparking an lgbtq arts movement that would eventually spanned five continents. that is why this isn't just our home, it is a home for all of the san francisco arts community and the nation. no one understands this better than the mayor. as executive director of the african-american arts and culture complex, and she transformed the struggling center into a vital, sustainable community resource. she understands, yes. [applause] >> she understands that arts and culture are at the forefront of social change, and we are honored that she chose our new home for her first state of the city address. [applause] >> please join me in welcoming, mayor, london abbreviate. [cheers and applause]

[applause] >> thank you. >> thank you. [cheers and applause] >> thank you, everyone. thank you so much. thank you. thank you. thank you all so much for being here today. thank you to the san francisco gay men's chorus for opening up their new home, this amazing, national, lgbtq centre for the arts. what i love about this center is that this chorus has invested their time and resources in creating something beautiful, not just for themselves, but for the entire lgbtq and arts community around the country. this is a place that celebrates what is best about san francisco , and that is what i want to talk you about today.

for too long, our safety has been the subject of a drumbeat of negative media attention, national stories claiming that san francisco has lost its way. however, streets are dangerous slums, our housing is unobtainable, how temple workers battle for our city's up soul. like most narratives, their elements of truth here, we have failed to build enough housing, we do face a homeless crisis, as we grapple with mental health and substance use on our streets of course, we acknowledge the challenges we face. the question is, what do we do next, hang our heads and give up cloth concede our problems are too great and the soul of our city is lost? anyone who thinks that, anyone who thinks that is what we will do knows nothing about this city [applause]

>> this is san francisco. we don't throw up our hands, we take to our feet. we don't wait for guidance, we liked the way. this is a city that knows how. the innovation capital of the world his. [cheers and applause] >> the national leader on lgbt and immigrant rights, environmental protections, healthcare, and so many other causes. the place where my angelou rang cable car bells -- the place where my angelou rang cable car bells and the place where a girl from public housing became mayor [cheers and applause] >> our congresswoman is speaker of the house. our former mayor just became governor. another is the california senior

senator, the state's lieutenant lieutenant governor, controller and treasurer are all san franciscans. [cheers and applause] >> our former district attorney could even be the next president [cheers and applause] >> it is time that our city holds its head up high again. it is time we believe again. yes, we have our challenges, i see them every day, just like you. i'm frustrated just like you about the issues that face our city, but i'm also motivated, because there is no problem we caps off together, no challenge we won't face together, there is , as president clinton said, nothing wrong with san francisco that can't be fixed with what is right about san francisco.

[cheers and applause] >> homelessness in san francisco has, for decades, been described as a sad reality, an impossible problem, just part of our city. i don't accept that they are just a few years ago, he only had to walk a few blocks from city hall to seat tent encampments lining our sidewalks , clips covering whole blocks on division street. today, those encampments are gone. that is partly because we have been working to build more shelters, more housing, and help more people. in the last six months, since i have been in office, we have built three navigation centers, with 338 beds, the fastest expansion of shelter beds our city has seen in decades. [cheers and applause]

>> and we've helped nearly 1,000 people exit homelessness. 1,000 people in six months. [applause] >> yes, we have a long way to go and so much work to do, but we are making a difference in people's lives. when we open up to the bryant street navigation centre earlier this month, i met a woman who had just moved in. she is battling addiction and breast cancer. on the streets, her medication kept getting stolen, she couldn't get healthy, now she is inside, and she is working on getting housing. at bryant street, she gave me a hug, and she said she is hopeful , and so am i. if she has hope, others can too. that is the difference. she is excited about the future, and i'm excited for her. if she can have a hope, and others can too. i've already announced my plan

to add 1,000 shelter beds by 2020, enough to clear the shelter bed waitlist. [applause] >> we also are declaring a shelter crisis so we can get these shelter beds builds now, and i want to thank supervisor supervisors brown, haney, mandelman, supervisor stefani and walton, for joining me in recognizing our bureaucracy shouldn't stand in the way of one single thousand beds. this is a huge step, we know, but it is not enough. we know we have around 4,000 unsheltered people in our city, sleeping in our streets, in our parks, in the doorway is, or in vehicles. we know that it's a travesty, but it's one we can take on. in the next four years, i want to create enough shelter beds,

step up housing units, homeless housing units, and housing subsidies for every person who is currently unsheltered. that is 4,000 more placements for people. no more excuses, no more status quo and let's be clear, every part of our city, every neighborhood must be open to being part of the solution. [cheers and applause] >> to get there, we must move forward with my proposal for our windfall funding. $185 million for homelessness, behavioural health, and affordable housing. [cheers and applause] >> with this investment, we can add 310 new shelter beds, 300 units of housing by master

leasing units, freeing up hundreds of beds in the shelter system. complete funding for a 255 unit building for homeless seniors and adults, and get started on hundreds more. now i know there are other budget priorities, and they are important. let's be clear. every dollar we take away from what i propose is one bed, one lost home, one more person on the streets. i will continue to work with a board president, norman he -- norman he -- yee and the board of supervisors. working together, we can tackle any impossible problem. the crisis on our street is not just about homelessness. people suffering from mental illness, they need more than just housing. often they are actually housed. these people need help, since i

took office, we have added 50 mental health stabilization beds , and i'm committed to opening up 100 more this year. [cheers and applause] >> our healthy streets operation centre is out there every day helping those suffering from substance use disorder, getting them connected to treatment and shelter, to help those who are truly suffering get real treatment. i've partnered with supervisor raphael mandelman on conservatorship legislation because when people can't care for themselves, we have to do better, and we have to care for them. [applause] >> we have to revamp our entire approach to mental health. to bring together all of our

mental health programs under one focus, i am creating a director of mental health reform. [applause] >> this person will be responsible for better coordination of mental health care for those suffering in our city, this person will strengthen the program we have that are working, nts, cut cut the ineffective program because clearly there are things in this city that just aren't working, and shouldn't continue to be funded. [applause] >> we need to build people's lives, not shuffle them from emergency room to emergency room , from jail cell, to jail cell. our criminal justice system is not a mental health solution. [applause]

>> to do all this, we need a vision and leadership, so today, i am announcing that i have hired a new director of the department of public health, dr grant kovacs. [applause] >> the doctor is one of our own, trained at ucsf, you were to the department of public health as a director of h.i.v. prevention and research, before leaving to join the obama white house as a director of national aids policy he knows our city and its challenges, and he is ready to get to work, and he knows that we need to get zero h.i.v. infections in san francisco. [applause]

>> we need to reach our most vulnerable populations, particularly are african-american and latino communities who are not seeing their h.i.v. infections drop as others do, this means getting everyone, and i mean everyone access to services, treatment, and preventative medications like prep. [applause] >> and i'm confident that dr kovacs will get us to our goal. we are also confronting san francisco's other allegedly impossible problem, housing. housing. we have to produce and preserve housing, and keep people in their homes. i will continue to support the rights to civil council which we funded it last year's budget with $5.8 million so every tenant who needs a lawyer can get one, and through our small sight -- his most -- small site

acquisition program, will fight to preserve rent-controlled buildings to keep people in neighborhoods secure. [applause] >> people like ms. miss wu, and 99-year-old woman who has been living in the same building in the richmond district for the past 30 years. or building was going up for sale, threatening her home, and that of every senior who lived there. i met her with supervisor -- supervisor fewer when i visited her home, the building that we helped purchase and make permanently affordable. ensuring that she and her neighbors wouldn't have to worry about where they were going to live. [applause] >> as we keep people in their homes, we have to build more new housing. lots more. [cheers and applause]

>> in 2018, we built around 3,000 homes. that's not nearly enough. we have to get better, and that's why i've already hired a housing delivery director to deliver projects faster, and implement policy reforms that cut the times to get permits in half. i've directed the department to end the backlog of hundreds of in law units, and make it easier for people to build them going forward, and passed legislation to prevent the loss of thousands of units in the pipeline. if we are going to be in san francisco for all, we need to be a san francisco that builds housing for all. that's why i'm moving forward with the 300 million-dollar affordable housing bond so we can continue to invest in badly needed affordable housing. [cheers and applause]

>> across our city, we have projects like the balboa upper yard that are ready to build. that is 131 units that just need funding, but it's not just about investing, we have to break the barriers to building housing so our dollars go further and we get housing built faster. so today, i'm announcing a charter amendment for this november's election, to make all affordable housing and teacher housing as upright in san francisco. [cheers and applause] >> if an affordable housing or teacher housing project as proposed within zoning, then

build it, and build it now. no more bureaucracy. [applause] >> no more bureaucracy, no more costly appeals, number not in my neighborhood. it is simple, affordable housing as of right because housing affordability is a right. [applause] >> this is how we create housing for all san franciscans, and i will continue to work with our state legislators, our regional partners, our new governor, because housing affordability isn't just a san francisco issue , it is a crisis throughout the state of california. we won't always see the results of these efforts immediately, it may take some years to his see some changes, but then we have started to build more aggressively 20 years ago, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in today.

[applause] >> we might have inherited a problem decades in the making, but we cannot be the ones who pass it on to the next generation. [applause] >> as we grow, we must make our streets clean and our communities safe. since my first day in office, i have been out walking our neighboured neighborhood. this is not okay. it is not healthy. and while there is much more to do, we are working every day to stop it. it is no secret i have put in a lot of focus in the tenderloin and the south of market. i am committed to improving these neighborhoods. so far, we have doubled the number of beat officers in midmarket. we have added pitstops, big belly trash cans and street cleaners. we have increased enforcement against drug dealing, and expanded outreach by our healthy

outreach operation centre. i know we have more to do, but people are starting to see a difference. families are coming to the new playgrounds at civic centre. i met a young family with two small children who came from sunset. they told me a year ago that they never would have gone to the playground there. too dirty, too run down, to many needles. now the new café on the playgrounds are now part of their saturday. this is a start. a first step towards making our public spaces clean and safe. we have also seen our investments in community policing yield results. last year, we had a 18% drop in homicide, which coincides with a major reduction in gun violence for the second year in a row. in fact, we had a 25% increase in firearm fees, and a 30 5% decrease in gun violence. [applause]

to put it simply, more guns off the streets, fewer crimes in homicides involving guns. we also had a nine% reduction in property crimes, including an 18 % drop in car break-ins, and a 13% drop in car thefts. we are, at last, reversing the carved reagan epidemic through the great work of our police department, we are working a dip -- making a difference on violent crimes and property crimes. more officers in our neighborhoods, and investments in cleaner, safer streets are all important. as we address these issues today , we also have to think about how to prevent them from happening in the future. we have to confront the root causes of crime and addiction, which means addressing inequity

and poverty. [applause] last year, working with our public defender, we made san francisco the first city in the country to eliminate punitive wasteful court fines and fees. [cheers and applause] >> these fees did nothing more than drive people into poverty, or worse, back into prison. we will continue our work to give the next generation opportunities back and prevent them from ending up in the criminal justice system in the first place. we are working our city build program to address the shortage of construction workers and give people good paying jobs. we are launching new jobs and helping to train new munimobile drivers to get more people on the street so we can get san franciscans where they need to

go faster. we have tech s.f., healthcare academy, and hospitality initiatives, all of which train people to work in our city, and as a former city in turn, who at 14 proudly worked at a nonprofit , answering phones and helping young family is, and doing paperwork, i am particularly proud to have launched opportunities for all so that we can get every high school students -- [applause] scene -- >> so we can get every high school student in san francisco a paid internship, because unlike the president in this town we pay people when they go to work. [laughter] [applause] >> this program will help our

kids now to earn money, to learn new skills, to keep them from going down the wrong path. these young people will be exposed to opportunities they never knew existed. they could see a future in an industry they never had access to. they could see themselves making a difference in a world in a way that they never thought possible . they will flourish, and we will grow our workforce right here in san francisco. [applause] >> will continue to lead the way on so many other important issues. we will protect the environment, and fight climate change. yesterday, we all know pg and tee declared bankruptcy, and there's a lot of talk about what this could mean, but let's talk about what we know. san francisco knows how to run a clean power system, and we are going to get to 100% renewable energy by 2030.

[applause] >> if this bankruptcy provides an opportunity for public power, supervisor peskin, we will take it. [applause] [laughter] >> i will be working with the city attorney, dennis herrera, and supervisor peskin to make sure that whatever happens to pg and e., we are prepared to. i'm also working with city attorney herrera to address questions around the testing of the hunter at's pointe. [applause] >> we need to be clear and transparent with the public about this project. along with supervisor walton, we have requested that ucsf, and u.c. berkeley put together an independent team to review the procedures for the retesting of parcel a and g.

[cheers and applause] >> these are trusted institutions. they will provide an independent analysis so the public can feel confident in the results. we also have to break the gridlock that is on our streets and create a more functioning transportation system. people may continue to choose to drive in san francisco, but that can't be their only choice. i will work with supervisor peskin on a measure that will charge our ride hail companies to relieve congestion on our streets. [applause] >> we have to keep pushing forward street facing invasion zero projects, including building protected bike lanes on high injury corridors, like the one we are building by upside on

valencia street that made it so hard for you to get here. [applause] >> we will also continue investing in helping our transgender residents with housing and services, and to those in washington, d.c. who continue to try and erase transgender people, it won't work back not here in san francisco. [cheers and applause] >> now more than ever, as the president continues to fear mongering about walls and slander our immigrant communities, san francisco is proud to stand as a sanctuary city. [applause] >> we are a city that is surrounded by bridges, not divided by walls, and we will stay that way. [applause]

>> when i took the oath of office six months ago, i never pretended i could solve all of our problems. i believed we could solve them working together. i believed in a government for all of us, and i still believe that we are working to turn the tides, and i hope every san franciscan can feel the difference when you see our public works crews, our -- out power washing the sidewalks and picking up trash, i hope you feel the difference. when you see our police officers walking the beats in the neighborhood, and talking to the merchants and the residence, i hope that you feel the difference. when you see our homeless outreach team and public health workers helping people suffering on our streets, i hope you feel the difference. when you see a new shelter open, a new affordable housing project

go up, or a new bike lane that gets finished, i hope you smile and feel the difference. i hope you believe with me that you hold your head high and take pride in our city, and what we can do together, because we are san francisco. we will meet these challenges, and we will continue to light a better way for the future of our city. thank you all so much for being here today. [cheers and applause]
