let's take a home with initial value of $400,000. in the second year your assessed value grows by a maximum of 2%, growing from $400,000 to $408,000. in year three, that $408,000 is increased by 2% to roughly $416,000. every year, the value grows by the maximum rate of 2%, and that is called your prop 13 value. keep in mind as time goes by your prop 13 value may not be the same as market rate. what do we mean by that? let's say over the last ten years, home prices in san francisco have gone every roughly 10% every year. despite that, your prop 13 value is capped at 2% growth creating a difference between your market value and prop 13 value. know that the value recessed when there's a change in ownership.

a change in ownership means that the property has a new zoner. maybe through a -- new owner. maybe through a sale, a gift or adding or dropping names through title. at that time the home will be assessed a new market rate. that value becomes a new starting point for the property. just like before, the growth continues to be limited at 2% until the next transfer happens. remember, the new owners are responsible for paying taxes at the new level from the first day that they own it. value might also be added when construction happens on your property. that would be another instance when growth in your value might exceed 2%. here, we would add the value of construction on top of your existing prop 13 value. every july, we'll let you know what your assessed value is by sending you a letter called a notice of assessed value. you can use that information to estimate your property taxes early. please note that a separate office called the treasurer tax collector's office will send you a letter in october and

they're responsible 230r collections. for more information, visit our website, >> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services in our neighborhood, we help san francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. so where will you shop and dine in the 49? >> i am the owner of this restaurant. we have been here in north beach over 100 years.

[speaking foreign language] [♪] [♪] >> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is

a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one

that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san

francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot

about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally.

over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really

looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that

>> the goal is simple. it's to raise women's voices. >> learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. >> we had own over 300 -- over 300 people who signed up for the one-on-one counseling today. >> i think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively.

the assessor's office is a big one. there are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in san francisco. one of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2.6 billion worth of revenue to the city. often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. for every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. but i think what most people don't know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public

education. so it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. so this is an incredibly important part of what we do in this office. it's an interesting place to be, i have to say. my colleagues across the state have been wonderful and have been very welcoming and share their knowledge with me. in my day-to-day life, i don't think about that role, being the only asian american assessor in the state, i just focus on being the best i can be, representing my city very well, representing the county of san francisco well. by being the only asian american assessor, i think you have a job to try to lift up and bring as many people on board, as well. i hope by doing the best that you can as an individual, people will start to see that your assessor is your elected leaders, the people that are making important decisions can look like you, can be like you,

can be from your background. i grew up with a family where most of my relatives, my aunties, my uncles, my parents, were immigrants to the united states. when my parents first came here, they came without any relatives or friends in the united states. they had very little money, and they didn't know how to speak english very well. they came to a place that was completely foreign, a place where they had absolutely nobody here to help them, and i can't imagine what that must have been like, how brave it was for them to take that step because they were doing this in order to create an opportunity for their family. so my parents had odd jobs, my dad worked in the kitchens, my mom worked as a seamstress sewing. as we grew up, we eventually had a small business. i very much grew up in a family of immigrants, where we helped to translate. we went to the restaurant every weekend helping out, rolling

egg rolls, eating egg rolls, and doing whatever we need to do to help the family out. it really was an experience growing up that helped me be the person that i am and viewing public service the way that i do. one of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. we lived in southern california at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. i can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. it was incredibly scary because we didn't know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. and i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. it stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a

responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help people open businesses and be successful. >> make sure to be safe, and of course to have fun. >> and then, i think as you continue to serve in government, you realize that those convictions and the persons that you are really help to inform you, and so long as you go back to your core, and you remember why you're doing what you're doing, you know, i think you can't go wrong. it's funny, because, you know, i never had thought i would do this. i became a supervisor first for the city under very unusual circumstances, and i can remember one day, i'm shopping with friends and really not having a care in the world about politics or running for office or being in a public position, and the next day, i'm sworn in and serving on the board of supervisors. for many of us who are going through our public service, it's very interesting, i think, what people view as a leader.

sometimes people say, well, maybe the person who is most outspoken, the person who yells the loudest or who speaks the loudest is going to be the best leader. and i think how i was raised, i like to listen first, and i like to try to figure outweighs to work with -- out ways to work with people to get things done. i hope that time goes on, you can see that you can have all sorts of different leaders whether at the top of city government or leading organizations or leading teams, that there are really different kinds of leadership styles that we should really foster because it makes us stronger as organizations. >> take advantage of all the wonderful information that you have here, at the vendor booth, at our seminars and also the one-on-one counseling. >> i wouldn't be where i was if i didn't have very strong people who believed in me. and even at times when i didn't believe in my own abilities or my own skills, i had a lot of people who trusted and believed i either had the passion or skills to accomplish and do

what i did. if there was one thing that i can tell young women, girls, who are thinking about and dreaming about the things they want to be, whether it's being a doctor or being in politics, running an organization, being in business, whatever it is, i think it's really to just trust yourself and believe that who you are is enough, that you are enough to make it work and to make things successful.streets. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> i wanted to wish you a best wishes and congratulations the community has shifted a lot of when i was growing up in the 60s and 50's a good portion of

i am excited about this project. this is the city and county of san francisco working hard to fulfill a promise. a promise to so many people who live throughout san francisco in public housing, in conditions that no one should have to live in. a few years back when i first started as a member of the board of supervisors, i met with mayor ed lee to talk about priorities. my number one, two, three priority as supervisor was public housing in san francisco as a whole, not just my district. mayor lee supported the fact that we needed to do something different because the kinds of conditions that existed for so many years and the amount of money that we received, there was no way to get to a better place. over 20 years of my life in

plaza east, i live in those conditions. the neglect, the bathrooms that didn't work, the mold, the conditions that you live in when you have had to live that way for over 20 years is something you never forget. this is why nothing is more important to me than changing the kinds of conditions that people live in. here with 94 units of housing for people who are part of our very vulnerable community, our seniors, people living with disabilities, people who have challenges, not only physically sometimes but also many of our low income residents. they deserve the kind of place that exists here today. they deserve to live in conditions where when they flush the toilet it will work. where they have showers and some

of the most basic things that some people take for granted. they have pest control so that they don't have to deal with the kinds of conditions that existed in the city in some places around public housing for far too long. when we brought in the program there were so many people who were skeptical. they were worried about displacement, what happened in the city in the past. there were some mistakes made in the past. i continue to go back to my own personal experience of living in public housing 300 units torn down and only 200 units built. yes, a lot of people i grew up with were not given the opportunity to come back. that is why it is so important that we have partners and we work with each resident individually to help them understand that this is about them and to make the move and the transition while we are

renovating these places as smooth as possible. that we make sure we are able to gain their trust and their support. in this city we have demonstrated through this program that we can be trusted to do the kinds rehabilitation work that is desperately needed to make sure people are living in great conditions, people are living in the kinds of conditions that they deserve. i just want to thank tndc for being our partners, for doing the work with compassion. this place, i don't know if you have been in here before. what we see now, i am overwhelmed by the walls and floors and everything i see today. it is so amazing. we know that san francisco continues to have so many challenges.

yes, we have to build more housing because we know even outside these doors, sadly, there are people struggling with homelessness. we also have to make sure that we are taking care of the people who deserve a safe affordable place to call home. preservation of existing affordable housing, building new housing in this city, that is what we have to do to make san francisco a better place for each and every one of us. i am so grateful to be here, so proud of this work of this project, and i want to thank the people from project managers, to the financing. it does take a village that is expensive to do and to do rehappentation work in san francisco. we -- rehabilitation work in san francisco. i am happy for the residents.

congratulations on this incredible property and thank you, don, for all of the work you continue to do. this is not our first project together and it definitely won't be our last. [applause.] >> i know i speak for a lot of people when i say we are grateful for your leadership, mayor. join me in welcoming louise. [applause.] >> good morning. i am the president of the ellis

gardens council. i want to thank the mayor london breed for making it happening for providing housing. i came to san francisco in 1962, when i was 12 years old from el salvador. most of my life i lived in the mission district before losing my housing. thankfully, there was room for me at ellis gardens in 2012. ever since i have moved to ellis gardens, i have become involved in the community such as volunteering in the boys and girls club. volunteers is a positive and happy experience in my life. i love ellis gardens. it feels like an extension of the park now that the renovation is complete.

it is now time to enjoy ellis gardens, have respect for one another and improve our community. on behalf of the residents we are very appreciative for the renovations and the support. thank you very much. [applause.] >> thank you. please welcome supervisor matt haney.

applause again. >> i have been friends with who louise for a few years. last year he invited me to visit the believe. -- to visit the building. it looks so beautiful. this area back here, the units. i got to visit on the tenth floor. this building is gorgeous. this is what people in this community deserve. this is what people in the tenderloin need in terms of open space, green space, finally living up to the name of this building, ellis gardens. this is a beautiful building for a neighborhood that is truly experiencing a renaissance of affordable housing, renovation for a community on the move in a positive way. i had a couple friends who visited the city recently.

they are worried about the tenderloin. i said i was walking around and saw gentrification. i said what are you talking about? he said i walked around taylor and eddy and saw the condos popping up. i am worried we are building condos and not affordable housing. i said those are affordable housing buildings. yes, they are beautiful. yes, they represent what people in this community need andy serve. people are going to walk by this and say, wow, i wish i could live there. that is what we want for everyone living in the city and the residents. thank you for allowing us to celebrate. thank you for going through this process. i am sure there was a level of disruption. thank you to bank of america and

all of the project managers. i live one block from here right on hyde and ellis. this is my neighborhood. i walk by here every day and i am so happy for the residents and this entire community that this building has been expanded in the way that it has. thank you.

for the entire population of not only this building but other believes in the community. our service team develops programming offering an array of multi-dimensional services and opportunities to travel new pathways to health, autonomy and growth. we believe that housing is the essential first step in supporting individuals to reduce barriers and thus breaking the cycles of chronic homelessness. in closing, i want to thank a few people in the room today. i really want to thank our staff. glide community housing supportive services staff has gone the extra mile. it was our first time delivering services in an active construction site. not only did you take care of your yells, you continued to deliver quality services and

(applause). >> bank of america played a crucial role not only at ellis gardens but across the entire portfolio of rental assistance demonstration properties. please welcome our long time friend heidi. >> good morning, everyone. thank you so much for the warm

welcome. thank you mathank you, mayor br. for those who may not know, bank of america was founded here in san francisco in 1904 as the bank of italy by the son of italian immigrants who wanted to serve immigrants, women, those who were just the common person, and not necessarily the financial elite. fast forward over 100 years and bank of america represents over 4,000 teammates, clients, community partners in san francisco and if it is iconic moments like financing the bay bridge or restoring the ferry building or providing almost 100 residents in the ellis gardens with a wonderful new living condition and the well-being that comes with a place that is truly a home, we are so proud to

be part of it. how important san francisco is to bank of america. it is fitting out of $4.8 billion. i am a banker. i will talk about money. invested in the community development across the country over $2.2 billion is here in san francisco. we are tremendously proud to be included today in the celebration. congratulations to the entire resident bays, community partners and friends. thank you all so much for including us. (applause). >> finally, gabriel, it is your turn. >> thank you, don andthal you all for come -- thank you all for coming. my heart is filled with so much

gratitude today. i recognize that i am the last speaker right before lunch. i will keep it quick. first, i want to thank the tenants especially for putting up with construction and relocation. today is an open house of sorts. it is not the first open house. when we completed the first floor of the top floor we finished the first unit and held the apartment open for the tenants to come and take a look. everything was done. we had it staged modestly with flowers. people came out on to check it out. i will never forget one tenant walked in to the apartment and said is this what you are doing to my home? the tenant reactions were great. i wish we had hgtv there to capture it. those are a real reason why many

of us are in this business and do the work we do. i will skip over the list of hundreds of people i want to thank. i would like to thank the dozens of people who will look after this building here on out and look after the health of the people in it. i am very proud what we accomplished together to be here today. we did so under budget, mind you. i am proud tha that we will accomplish all of this in the future. thank you very much for coming. >> thank you. i want to just offer a few reflections. one is that i hope you will hear from all of us just the expression of gratitude. we realize we are in a privileged position to do the work to serve others. that is what a lot of us are very motivated by while in this

room. seven years ago mayor lee and ed had a vision p.29 properties. $2 billion and where was that going to come from? how was it going to happen? a new program that none of us knew or understood very well. i understand the housing director at the time telling me five single-spaced pages of exceptions to the rules. like this is what it took. that speaks nothing of all of the people and the institutions who are part of it. i hope you will takethe time to not just read but to grasp what is involved with every one of the people. most of you here and everyone on the list made a real contribution. i hope you will feel that you own this, if you will, because

we were in this role at the center of the work but it is other people doing the work. i don't know what it means to own ellis gardens. this is a community asset. this is affordable housing forever to serve people with low incomes forever. there will be a whole generation of people here 40 or 50 years from now celebrating the next rededication. it is a profound moment that i hope we can all appreciate how important not just the rededication but renewal. grateful to be a part of it. thank you all for coming. [applause.] >> five, four, three, two, one. [cheers.]

>> i lived in the mission neighborhood for seven years and before that the excel see your district. 20 years a resident of the city and county of san francisco. i am the executive director of a local art space nonprofit that showcases work that relate to the latino community and i have been in this building for seven years and some of my neighbors

have been here 30 year. we were notified from the landlord he was going to sell the building. when we realized it was happening it was no longer a thought for the landlord and i sort of had a moment of panic. i heard about the small sites program through my work with the mission economic agency and at met with folks from the mayor's housing program because they wanted to utilize the program. we are dealing with families with different needs and capacities. conversations were had early in the morning because that is the only time that all the tenants were in the building and finally when we realized that meda did have the resources to buy the building we went on a letter writing campaign to the landlord

and said to him we understand you want to sell your building, we understand what you are asking for and you are entitled to it, it's your land, but please work with us. what i love about ber nell height it represents the diversity that made me fall in love with san francisco. we have a lot of mom and pop shops and you can get all your resources within walking distance. my favorite air area of my homes my little small patio where i can start my morning and have my coffee an is a sweet spot for me coffee an is a sweet spot for me

[♪] >> i just wanted to say a few words. one is to the parents and to all of the kids. thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a soccer program in the bayview. >> soccer is the world's game, and everybody plays, but in the united states, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. >> i coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. it is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. >> when the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. only one or two of them had played soccer before. we gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. >> i think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. >> i get to run around with my other teammates and pass the

ball. >> this is new to me. i've always played basketball or football. i am adjusting to be a soccer mom. >> the bayview is like my favorite team. even though we lose it is still fine. >> right on. >> i have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. >> my favorite memory was just having fun and playing. >> bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. they are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. >> now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. >> we want to be united in the bayview. that is why this was appropriate >> this guy is the limit. the kids are already athletic,

you know, they just need to learn the game. we have some potential college-bound kids, definitely. >> today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. >> this year we have first and second grade. we are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. >> you know why? >> why? because we are? >> bayview united. >> that's right. welcome to the did you know that many buildings in san francisco are not bolted to the foundation on today's episode we'll learn how the option to bolt our foundation in an earthquake.

>> hi, everybody welcome to another episode of stay safe i'm the director of earthquake safety in the city and county of san francisco i'm joined by a friend matt. >> thank you thanks for being with us we're in a garage but at the el cap center south of market in san francisco what we've done a simulated the garage to show you what it is like to make the improvements and reduce the reflexes of earthquake we're looking at foundation bolts what do they do. >> the foundation bolts are one of the strengthening system they hold the lowest piece of wood onto the foundation that prevents the allows from sliding

during an earthquake that is a bolt over the original construction and these are typically put in along the foundation to secure the house to the foundation one of the things we'll show you many types of bolts let's go outside and show the vufrdz we're outside the epic center in downtown san francisco we'll show 3 different types of bolts we have a e poxy anchor. >> it is a type of anchor that is adhesive and this is a rod we'll embed both the awe hey that embeds it into the foundation that will flip over a big square washer so it secured the mud sell to the foundation we'll need to big drill luckily
