and every commercial building that is in question as far as generating their own electricity. that demonstration pertains to solar power and the power pack generator that is storing electricity in order to power that location that is in question with item number 2 is the same technique that you should be using on item number 1. is that clear? you see how that works. instead of going through that money-making time-consuming and wasting the time and money procedure that you have been imposing and causing all the confusion with pg&e. the technique she used is the technique you should be using on item number 1. you talking about affordable housing i've come here several times and demonstrated two twin towers of apartment building complex that's is charging $56 million per 144 apartment units and another unit of 86

units of three-storeys that is charging $57 million for 84 apartment unit building complex. i've demonstrated where you can put both of those buildings together side by side and make a 27-storey building and by the same response, have 2,077 apartment units for the homeless people. you keep talking about affordable housing and you know god damn well when it comes to affordable housing you set the lowest income bracket higher than the people you claim to help. you build a brand new god damn building and the people in that parking lot living in those vans and the rest of the well over 8,000 people that are homeless out in the god damn streets can't even afford it. why do you keep doing the same dumb thing over and over again.

>> supervisor peskin: next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. thank you for having me here today to speak for the vehicle triage center. as supervisor safai pointed out, this site controlled by mission housing along with our partner related california. we will be building 100% family-affordable housing about 137 units. and we couldn't agree more that the best use of the year before we actually break ground is to provide a place for our unhoused. one thing that i do want to point out just in case it helps, mission housing the developer of 1950 mission street which is where we had the first navigation center and something that i think has actually been a really great thing and spread out throughout the city so i have heard rumblings from its own people that they are worried that the vehicle triage center will hold up the development of the affordable housing and that

is absolutely not the case. mission housing has direct experience within the last year of moving a navigation center from one place to another in concert with the department of homelessness. i'd like to rest your mind at ease on that and say that mission housing is absolutely in favor of this. thank you. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors, corey smith on behalf of the san francisco housing action coalition also in support. this got mentioned this is a pilot project and if it's successful we think there are other opportunities around the city where we can continue to try this and its rate after every element tempt and it's not a perfect solution and it's not going to solve anything but it will help people and i know that the folks that are going to get in there are really excited about it. thank you for your efforts to everybody involved. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. seeing no other members of the public, public comment is closed. supervisor safai. >> supervisor haney: thank you. i just had a question about

families and i know it says families with children will be highly encouraged to utilize temporary shelter. can you talk about what exactly that means in terms of highly encouraged. how is that going to be approached? >> sure, definitely. so thank you for that question. what we mean by families of children we'll be highly encourage to use temporary shelter that if we have a family with children living in their vehicle and are not willing to leave that vehicle at the site, we will get them in a safer environment. if they need to stay with their vehicle we'll make sure they have the option and it's other single adults as well. >> so, there would potentially be families who are in their cars on site n. >> there's a potential for that

but that's why we're going to work with families to encourage them to take the offer of temporary shelter because we think that would be a safer option. >> thank you. >> let me just add on to that. we had a series of meetings with stakeholders and advocacy groups and others and so i think the approach was, we know already that they've already gone out and done an assessment. i think there was one instance and the instance that we use and i didn't say this in my opening remarks was on dewolf street we had about seven r.v.s on that street. one of those was a family. someone with children. the idea being that if there was a situation that was offered to them that they chose not to keep and they didn't want to we will

allow for families to live in their vehicle on the site and it's not the first choice and what we're going to promote but the other thing is because we're starting out with this in our district, we ask that there would be a priority for those living in their vehicles from district 11 first, and so if we look at over all consensus, 500 vehicles identified in the back of last year and we know that number has gotten larger and a lot of them are in district 7 and we also talked about the

shared responsibility of dealing with homeless crisis city wide and i know you spent a lot of time talking about that and i know that there's been some further conversations. i know that supervisor peskin now is about to open up supervisor wall top is opening up a navigation center. we felt like this was the appropriate response based on the crisis we see most visibly so we put ourselves in this circumstance where we say we're ready to do this. this is never been done in san francisco before. this is been talked about for over a decade. again, we see this as a small step but an important step. i just want to end with thanking supervisor brown. she pushed me and challenged me. i thank mayor breed for believing in this and stepping forward and allocating the money and also my colleagues, all of you, in the budget process we

added an additional $200,000. we believe that this will for one year, given the circumstances, and the condition of the site, the capital improvements will be half a million to $700,000 and that's what we're looking at when we do these under most circumstances. the reason is solar and we're not running any infrastructure and there's not any water or running electricity, we're being creative so i want to thank public works and their team for going above and beyond. we want it to be livable and feel safe. i was in santa barbara a month ago, they had one smack dab in the middle of state street. they had one of these lots. it's a new reality. i think and i believe that the conversation is going to be forwarded. we have to think about being as creative as we can. we have 600 of individuals living in their cars. obviously we can't have them just living on the streets

without any access to water or showers or trash. we might have to begin to think creatively about not just these vehicle triage lots but a more permanent space that is in the best interest of everyone in the city and the neighbors and so on. that's it. i don't have anything else to add. other than i appreciate your guys support and encouragement and i know that every district in the city has to find a way to step up and do their share. >> supervisor peskin: without objection, welford thi we will s with recommendation as a committee report where it will be heard tomorrow september 10t. without objection. with recommendations. madam clerk, could you please call item number 3. >> clerk: item number 3 the planning code to enable the use of development projects sites

during the project of approval and entitlement process to authorize certain activities and development project site as temperatures use is up to 36 months subject to extension and affirming appropriate findings. >> thank you. we heard this on july 8th and continued it to a date certain namely today, i understand from the mayor's office that they would like us to continue it pending some amendments so, if there is any public comment on this item, please come forward for item number three. which we intend to continue. >> go ahead, sir. >> you working on that continuance, i want you to keep in mind and i want to know how come my demonstrations pertaining to your own rules and regulations are not being followed by your own administration. you keep talking about development. i showed you your rules and regularizations that says 15% of

all new brand new apartment building complexes being built in san francisco out of the mayor's office in-housing is supposed to be 15% for verily and low income bracket single-people and family people. you keep campaigning and talking about and acting like you want to help the same people that are homeless by spending $400 million a year on homeless programs. you build a navigation center and you admit a navigation center is not the solution to the problem. it's not a solution why are you doing it? if $400 million a year you spend it on homeless programs it's not a solution to the homeless problem, why are you doing it? you've been doing it for the past well over seven generations. when you get new supervisors, you pick up where the old supervisors left off. after each administration the homeless population doesn't decrease it increases. you got over 8,000 homeless

people. it turns out it's plus 17% more than that and it's homeless in san francisco. you've got 28,400 people that's homeless in the over all city. it's disgusting. and a real frustrating about it for you guys to sit there and not follow my demonstrations. why is that? how are you going to provide permanent housing when you keep doing the same repeated mistake over and over and over again? homeless people don't need no god damn homeless programs. they need permanent housing just like you do. >> next speaker, please. >> >> we have seen a great increase on spending and housing and one

of the major problems is supply and demand on housing. housing is almost highly regular gategateregulated in the industd allowing people to park where they want to park is the best way. squatters have a lot of empty buildings here you can just turn it over to private sector and let them handle the situation. we keep just wanting the -- we need to stop encouraging people bringing life in the world when they have no intention of supporting it. quite frankly, this urban squatting would be good enough and people supplying climate and et cetera, it would be done by the cause and effect of basically the private sector and it would be more likely to get more people off the streets in adequate housing. people who don't work don't pay. other people have to go to 40 hours a week to get and it's

just and they're having to pay for someone else's housing and it is just going on and on and on and on and it just keeps going more money and more people need housing. you decrease wealth and poverty itself. thank you. >> supervisor peskin: seeing no other members of the public for this item, public comment is closed. and without objection we'll continue this item to the call of the chair. we are adjourned.

communicate with people who live both in and out of state. having an out of state contact, to call, text or post on your social network is really important and being able to know how you are going to communicate with your friends, and family who live near you, where you might meet them if your home is uninhab hitable. >> how long do you think that it will be before things are restored to normal in san francisco. >> it depends on the severity of the earthquake, we say to provide for 72 hours tha, is three days, and it helps to know that you might be without services for up to a week or more, depending on how heavy the shaking is and how many after shocks we have. >> what kind of neighborhood and community involvement might you want to have before an earthquake to make sure that you are going to able to have the support that you need. >> it is important to have a good relationship with your neighbors and your community. go to those community events,

shop at local businesses, have a reciprocal relationship with them so that you know how to take care of yourself and who you can rely on and who can take care of you. it is important to have a battery-operated radio in your home so that you can keep track of what is happening in the community around and how you can communicate with other people. >> one of the things that seems important is to have access to your important documents. >> yes, it is important to have copies of those and also stored them remotely. so a title to a home, a passport, a driver's license, any type of medical records that you need need, back those up or put them on a remote drive or store them on the cloud, the same is true with any vital information on your computer. back that up and have that on a cloud in case your hard drive does not work any more. >> in your home you should be prepared as well. >> absolutely. >> let's take a look at the kinds of things that you might want to have in your home.

goods, we are going to have fresh food and you have to preserve that and i know that we have an ice chest. >> having an ice chest on hand is really important because your refrigerator will not be working right away. it is important to have somebody else that can store cold foods so something that you might be able to take with you if you have to leave your home. >> and here, this is my very own personal emergency supply box for my house. >> i hope that you have an alternative one at home. >> oh, i forgot. >> and in this is really important, you should have flashlights that have batteries, fresh batteries or hand crank flashlight. >> i have them right here. >> good. excellent. that is great. additionally, you are going to want to have candles a whistle, possibly a compass as well. markers if you want to label things if you need to, to people that you are safe in your home or that you have left your home.

breakables do not break on the ground. becoming prepared is not that difficult. taking care of your home, making sure that you have a few extra every-day items on hand helps to make the difference. >> that contributes dramatically to the way that the city as a whole can recover. >> absolutely. >> if you are able to control your own environment and house and recovery and your neighbors are doing the same the city as a whole will be a more resilient city. >> we are all proud of living in san francisco and being prepared helps us stay here. >> so, thank you so much for joining us today, alicia, i appreciate it. >> absolutely, it is my pleasure. >> and thank you for joining us

thanks for that. [applause.] >> we serve a community in san francisco cause visitation valley. a lot of people have never heard of the neighborhood. we have our share of violence and it is low income and challenging for kids to grow up there. we also have a lot of great families who are working multiple jobs trying to raise their kids, a lot of sunshine there. if you don't know where it is. it is the location of the first home of the san francisco warriors. the cow palace. we are right next to there. we believe that if we provide high-quality programs rooted in social and emotional learning. example teaching empathy or self-control. if we allow opportunities for kids to experience new activities or new ideas and if we have programs where adults

child ratios are low and kids have the opportunity be to form positive relationships with caring adults, our kids will have all of the tools necessary to navigate life. our specialty is sports. i think that is why our partnership with the warriors has been so strong. in our 25 year history, we have only served visitation valley. it is underserved and it needs a lot of attention. we realize that to have the most impact in the community we need to go where the kids are, the school system. ewith our partner ships we are able to provide full after school programs, weekend activities, summer day camps and overnight camps. you name it, we have it.

i started as a volunteer for rock 24 years ago. i have had the privilege when i started volunteering i was working with elementary school kids. now they are in their 20s and 30s. they are college graduates with successful jobs and many worked for rock. some donated to rock. it is an incredible group of people. as part of the 25 year anniversary campaign we are launching a campaign called stories that rock. it features short videos of al alumni and staff and people positively impacted by our work. this is the world premier of the first stories at rock video featuring a past participant named marissa. enjoy it. ♪ . >> i am marissa.

i am 25. i went to california state and graduated with a ba. rock camp changed my life every year. in elementary school there was this thing called flying squirrel. it was in the middle. two trees in the middle of the green grass right by the cabins. i was nervous as h heck. i thought what is going to hand, what is going to happen? i went flying into the trees and it was like an amazing experience. i flew into the trees and i was like it was so fun. both of my parents were working minimum wage jobs raising nine kids of in san francisco. in the area we lived in visitation valley, my mom was

scared for us to walk out the door. rock to be basically my hand in leading me out of the city. i don't think that i would have had the courage, which is one of rock's virtues, to go off to college, to have experiences as i have. it is an imprint on your heart and on your life. rock will be with you forever, and 10 years from now when you are in college or graduating college, you are going to walk the stage thinking about rock. that is what i did. rock changes lives. it changed my life. it changed my sibling's life and my parents' lives. it just changes lives.
