>> >> >> what say a nice day to build housing in san francisco. good evening, everyone. i'm london breed where we are going to build over 500 units of housing. [cheers and applause] >> man, i don't think i have ever signed a piece of legislation supporting housing that has made me happier than the one i'm about to sign today. you know, president peskin, i want to take us back a tad bit because when you came back to the board of supervisors, the work that we did together by

providing the opportunity for the board of supervisors to make legislative decisions instead of leaving it in the charter, understanding that it is so important that we do economic feasibility studies to ensure that the decisions that get made around our requirements for housing, don't impact our ability to build. we know a lot of things for housing are not within our control. the cost of materials and the economy and setting interest rates is a whole but there are things here locally that are within our control. i want to take this opportunity to really appreciate so many people who came together with the technical advisory committee, who worked day in and day out to ensure that we really dug deep, that we fulfill a process that we made to the people of san francisco. that when we make decisions

about inclusionary numbers, if the economy changes in anyway, we will reevaluate those numbers to determine if they should be either raised or lowered, and we will not play politics with the needs to do everything we can to build more housing in san francisco. and today, fulfills such a promise. no, it is not everything we need to do to get to the 80,000 units that san francisco needs to build in order to fulfill our housing commitment for the element, but it's an incredible start. what does this mean? this means we have come together with stakeholders. i want to appreciate board president peskin and those in my office for the work and the various tac members did to get us to this point. i even said at this point when

anne was in my office, what did you do for president peskin to get him to be so cooperative. i'm not used to this. i don't know what kind of magic she did or worked this committee in the way that she and president peskin did to make this happen, but what i appreciate most is it shows the power of collaboration. it shows what can happen for the greater good of our city when we are willing to come together and to negotiate and to compromise, and to do what is in the best interest of san francisco. so, what does this do? well, this unlocks thousands of units that are now possible because they can get the financing necessary to get these projects done. what does this do? it creates a number of various layers of commitments that we are making to not just wait years to make

adjustments to inclusionary numbers, but to look at inflation, to have built in mechanisms to be sure that we don't wait around for policies to pass or change but able to move forward now with projects that are being approved and already been approved so we can unlock housing in san francisco, so that we can break ground and build more all over san francisco including downtown. what does that mean? it means we are building housing but we are creating jobs. so i want to really thank all of the various labor organizations from the plumbers to the carpenters, to the electricians, all people that are responsible for building housing in san francisco. more housing means more job opportunities and we want to make sure that we are building so much housing that we can barely find the workforce to do

it. that is our goal, but more importantly, and i know, go ahead, clap labor. they are excited about that. [ applause ] but more importantly, affordability is a real challenge and we want to be sure that our san franciscans of various areas of labor and our bus drivers and workforce in san francisco and others and to those who are struggling to make ends meet. we want to make sure that we have as much housing as possible to ensure affordablity for different layers for jobs that exist all over san francisco. we have a lot of work to get there but this is our very very first step. we know that we have to do so

much more. we have to be more aggressive than ever before if we are going to meet our goal. san francisco already has 50,000 units. do you know what that could mean for the city of san francisco? what that could mean for what is happening right now with new technologies that is emerging in every part of san francisco, and not just right now but pier 70 and dog pound and we are the leading company in the world here in san francisco and more to come. so we have to make sure that we are building the housing necessary to meet the needs, to meet the demand. that we are doing everything possible in this legislation that i am about

to sign today is a significant step in the right direction. so i'm looking forward to breaking ground here in those 500 units as well as other parts of our city. let's get to financing, let's get the job going, let's make magic happen for the city and county of francisco. [ applause ] and before we sign the legislation, i want to take the opportunity because this doesn't just happen because we want it to happen. this happens because people come together and they do the hard work to make it happen. as i said, president of the board of supervisors, aaron peskin, ben rosen field, our controller, the director of the planning department, sarah phillips, oewp, and who worked her magic, conrad who was a part

of this team as well from the city side. i want to thank all of the members of the tac who came together to fight it out on the inside and merged together on the outside, and i want to thank the consultants and want to thank the developers estrada, matthew, thank you for the work you do. jim morrison, with hines and erickson and fearless developers here. from 530 howard street. en enrique. carl from fisherman fiore. thank you so much. and we couldn't do this work without the incredible people whose hands build these units, the carpenters, thank you so

much. [ applause ] and the building trades. and of course many of our housing advocates, jay natoli is here. thank you so much to cory from the housing action committee. it is a village. we won't stop, we can't stop now. first step in the right direction. and before we sign this legislation, i would like to introduce supervisor president of the board of supervisors aaron peskin. [ applause ] >>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you, mayor breed. the mayor got it just right. this is government working at its best, collaboratively based on actual data and i have to say, the meetings that we've had over the period of months were actually very pleasant, they were not contentious, they were informed by experts. all of them i was going to

thank, but the mayor has thanked each and every one of them. i will say that the office of economic and workforce development were splendid. i think we named him excel spreadsheet conrad. 22 years ago, san francisco was at the leading edge of creating affordable housing in new market rate development. that legislation was carried by my then colleague supervisor mark, who worked very closely with erickson and we created one of the first on-site inclusionary affordable housing laws in the united states of america that has been copied by cities all across the country. but it was never meant to be static. we enjoyed robust times and that ten percent initial number crept

up to 15% and eventually 20%. but when times are tough, that number has to be adjusted in a way that allows new housing start to happen. the mayor understood that, the entire board of supervisors are almost the entire board of supervisors understood that and that is what led to this process. mayor breed referred to the fact that unfortunately in a number of time, the number got put in the charter at 12% and nobody could bring it down and we took that charter and we made that promise saying we will revisit this every few years and adjust the inclusionary rate number accordingly and we kept our word and that is exactly what happened. now, our job is not done, because as these significant reductions in the requirements for on-site affordablity has

gone down, this city has the obligation to build 80,000 units of housing, the majority that need to be affordable and we have to find a way to do those. we have had that conversation and that is part of this conversation and that is what the mayor and i are also collaborating on and realizing the affordable housing bond will be the opportunity to vote on this march, march of 2024, in the amount of $300 million. we mentioned that this week and working to get that passed. with that, it is my pleasure to witness this signing. it truly has been a collaboration and i will close by saying it is one of many collaborations. it is the kind of collaboration that we had relative to

adaptively reusing vacant buildings in the downtown core that we cleaned up and passed and along with corroboration with supervisor melgar and her work and in the city and county in san francisco. our work is not done. i look forward to more collaborations going forward. thank you, mayor breed. >> good afternoon, my name is michael cohen from strata. thank you all for coming today. it's really fantastic to have you all on this humble parking lot which we are advancing plans to build this incredibly gorgeous 500 units, residential building. i have to say those plans are much brighter today because of this legislation.

indeed this legislation is the most impactful that has come out in a decade and it's so important because it addresses the single barriers which is affecting housing to do and that is affordablity. and there are things that are outside of this city's control, but by significantly reducing this bill, we will be able to build housing and will not happen over night but over the next years, it will have a huge impact. in addition to what it says, this bill says a lot. one, it directly acknowledges that we could not hope to build

additional housing without decreasing the rate to market. and shows when the stakes are the highest, leadership in the state and san francisco can come together to work on pragmatic solutions. i have to say the mayor and supervisors and everyone else, it's remarkable because you did something really important, really well, really quickly with no drama. for that, i will say thank you, and god bless. [ applause ] i think rebecca is going to come up. >> >> hi, everyone. nice to see you. i am rebecca foster, and i had the honor of being in that inside closed door site on the

tac, not really, it was pretty low drama. and i am also the ceo of the housing accelerator fund. those things are really connected. we launched the housing accelerator fund in 2017 as a public-private partnership, really to turbo charge the city and affordable housing developers to be able to preserve more housing more officially and since then, we build millions of dollars for san francisco projects and made over $400 million in investments and supporting those around the city. we love this fund. and we have build more units around the city that help residents stay in their long time homes to amazing beautiful

buildings like just down on howard street, the new 200 unit building unit on howard that will welcome 200 families next income to affordable housing in san francisco. clearly, i don't need to tell anyone here that getting affordable housing, getting any housing built in san francisco is complicated. it's hard. it takes a lot of grit, and for us, it's full of way too many negotiations with a lot of cattle raising and with spreadsheets, and like on the tac, we spend a lot of time looking at the maps of what it takes to make projects work while trying to balance the critical importance of delivering homes faster. this year starting construction, not seven years from starting construction, and getting the systems and policies right so we

can massively scale the overall delivery of housing in our city to hit that 82,000 necessary homes for future generations and for people who live here now. >> we all keep up this hard work together because we know how important each and incremental win is to building homes on this parking lot and that is for our neighborhoods. serving on the tac with my great partners and working with the incredible city staff that the mayor mentioned, was really an honor and an extension of all this work. it was an incredibly collaborative crew and i did not go inspecting this collaboration and i don't think anybody did because this is san francisco. we just spent our time deep in the weeds and really focusing on the imperative of kick starting the delivery of more housing as

soon as possible with all kinds of head wind line the mayor mentioned and that we have the ability to build the affordable housing that the city desperately needs. thank you for serving on the tac and i'm super excited for this legislation and the affordable bond that supervisor peskin mentioned. mayor london breed: thank you, rebecca, to everyone joining us today. now it is time to sign the legislation to make it official. [ applause ]

>> >> all right. are you ready to sign this legislation? >> yes. [cheers and applause] >> i have not seen you smile in a long time. it is official. [cheers and applause] >> all right. >> we'll take a picture here. >> [music] digital literacy is something severely lacking in our world today and it takes a lot to understand that. food water and shelter have basic

necessities so long we forget about wifi and connection to the interenet and when you go into communities and realize peep ople are not able to load homework and talk to teachers and out of touch with the world. by providing the network and system we are able to allow them to keep up in the modern age. >> folks still were not served by internet throughout the city and tended to be low income people, people in affordable housing. people of color and limited english and seniors, all those are high concentrations in affordable housing, so we thought given that we had a fiber network that stretched throughout the city reaching deep into neighborhoods that would be a perfect opportunity to address it in san francisco. >> the infrastructure the city and star help us run are dejtle programs. it played a critical role from the time we

opened during covid till now so we were able to collaborate with online services that offer tutoring and school support. it also helped us be able to log the kids on for online school during covid, in addition to like, now that everybody has switched most of their curriculum online we can log kids on to the online homework, check grades in addition to helping parent learn how to use the school system portm >> the office of digital equity our goal fiber to housing is insure we have all three legs of the 3 legged stool. the first leg is high quality internet connection. we liken the high quality internet connection to the highway. the second leg is high quality devices. this is the car. you

want to make sure the specks on the car is up to speed and lastly, it is important to get kind of that driver's education to learn how to navigate the road, to know the signs to watch out for in terms of making sure you are school while you are surfing the internet it is private so that is the digital literacy piece. >> my daily life i need the internet just to do pretty much everything. the internet has taken so much control over people's daily lives including myself that i just need it to get certain jobs done, i need it for my life. i need it. >> the program really seeks to where ever possible provide a service that's equivalent or higher speed and quality as the best commercial service . >> we serve all of san francisco, but we definitely have to be equitable in our distribution of services. that means everybody gets what they need to be successful.

>> actually one of the most gratifying part of my work here at department of technology, it is really bringing city resources to address problems faced with our communities with the highest need. >> i think it is important because i grew up in a low income community without internet access and it is hard. i think it is important for everyone to have internet access no matter their income and maybe one day their kid will have internet access for us and help the school and with their skills.

>> thank you, everyone. is this working? >> okay. >> okay. >> thank you, everyone for being here i'm san francisco mayor london breed and joined by the police chief bill scott and robert oh, sullivan to talk about the incredible work by that sfgh of san francisco

police department i know oftentimes when a crime occurs and videos circulated they're a perspective that that says was happening and nothing is being done well, in fact, synagogue o something is being done and the new outlets are reported but not highlighting the significant way like what we see happen in those crimes when they occur we've seen in recent months, is a change a change in deployment and change in addition resources we've received and the altitude around what really do in san francisco and suddenly aggressive changes in the police policies in the policy commission has made has it difficult but not stooping us sunnybrook e doing everything we can to hold people accountable

and grapz grabs have led to incredible arrests we are seeing increasing car breaks, no. and the number of dealers and users being arrested on the street to be held accountable the support from the following have been valuable in the work the vehicle theft armed suspect and commercial burgers and killing of store clerk in the richmond district all the things have outdoor in every single incident in the large cases arrests are being made and doing everything we can to have a full author investigation and photocopy on the cases to have a rock solid case for trails what have you and ultimately seen a number of recent events have gotten more

down the center in san francisco feel safe i want to introduce our police chief bill scott to talk about the crimes and arrests where they have been made. thank you, london breed and thank you. i'm bill scott police chief in the san francisco police departments i want to start by first of all, emphasizing with mayor breed said this is about concoct and sending a strong and clear message people will be held accountable in those types of crime in our city whether that is a single person or a group of people will be held accountable doing everything we can to bring every resources because the issue is not about the city of san francisco but people committing crime just to be clear, when people come here er

live here do bad things this police department and this city and mayor are dedicated to making sure that we hold people accountable i want to talk about a couple of incidents i'd like to talk about starting off. we had yesterday in the york store 650 in the morning ambassadors listed and the suspects stole and drove a car into the store and tried to get away with thousands of thousands dollars of merchandise thanks to the police department we are able to arrest the suspect and recover over one hundred and fifty thousands of manufacturers we know for a fact that one store was not the only one they were

tending to sheriff's deputy lift to - that's what it takes that's what we'll do we have been running lift organizations and the fraternity grant from of the st. patrick we have resources to meet the challenges and those resulted in great news arrests around the state talking about retailers and communities around san francisco. and here's one example. walgreens 8 people ran in the ski masks with a wagon and grabbed everything they could and the officers were there and with respectable arrest and 6 and the other two you better be looking over our shoulders. that's was it takes

in order to turn this around. fencing operations the retail theft is not just people stealing but selling this and we know that visitors and people that make a living off of profiting from stolen manufacturers in and around san francisco and the bay the emergency investigations within this past week operating on mission street we know the challenges we have on mission street with selling stolen manufacturers with the one street marking with no license and stealing manufacturers more than anything else to sell our versed recovery on the 17 thousands of stolen prompt

property from city of victorville secret had the tags on them. and message is this you will be held accountable. car break-ins has been a pervasive issue in the city and authority it has been declining over the last number of years paralleling the last 4 years we know it is an issue. we have been running big operations we announce that a month ago and we've seen more decrease with car break-ins and arrested numerous individuals because of officers are out there. and when those thieves try to break in we are there those operations have led to long term investigations and able to recover stolen property and the arresting of many more

suspects that is an overwhelming strategy we'll continue to use for the people coming into our city or living in the city that are breaking into cars the next one you break in rule be caught. here that clearly we have to put an end to this. people that get their scars broken into authority that sounds like a low level crime we have people spending they're hard earned money and people in the live have their laptops and other tablets and things people break into their cars and steel their property it turns their lives up and down will be accountability and continue to do exactly that. now those things will not taller

than the overnight but those efforts will stop the theft in the city that is the theft of john hands in the richmond monday district and mr. wallie is showing up for work and like we all do. and the didn't come home that evening this because someone walked in the store brazenly thinking they can just take the property without paying for that and confronted by the gentleman and our homicide versed did a very, very thorough job and arrested the individual. who was not from san francisco. and owe will be held accountable and prosecuted here's the message theft is not a small

thing especially with when the brazen suspects carrying out. we have to take it seriously and we are talking to seriously and hold you to get and mr. wallie and his family we are deeply, deeply sorry for your loss but we'll have closures for the person counted and will be held accountable an overall this year again decline in brings and reduction in oes crimes but not testing but making sure that people know their held accountable and people that come to the city and live in the city and work in the city will be protected and making all understand that san francisco is not the place to come if you

want to criminal those crimes we will come after. >> and you'll be came out. and lastly, i like to close by saying that police department is understaffed at that time 2009 going to defer us, we will creativity and the ledge of the properties with our federal fbi and oats together we will get it done and no better example than what we're doing in the market. we have arrested over 11 hundred people in may. and the majority of those have been drug sellers drug dealers we know the problem we know this has greatly laterally contributed to overdose issues and there is a

strong, strong unindividually commitment to turn that around. with the drug market and agency center we set that up and this may we have had a steady flow of resources including the san francisco police department and including the highway patrol and is drug administration and others. that will not stop. our too and these attorney are project manager those cases on a state and federal level and we expect to make sure those people are counted and the cause of theft and destruction in the city we will denmark doing everything we can to holds people abdominal accountable that are selling drugs the message everyone i hope that is

loud and clear this city is a great city our city and doing everything we can to protect it. so with that, open up to (unintelligible). >> thank you, chief scott i want to add a few things yesterday we talked about a plan to pay our officers who are part of our reserve to increase the number of foot people on the street to help us address this problem the difference between the reserves and the ambassadors we have police officers the reserves will wear their uniform and armed and able to make arrests like police officers i'm how much this program will be a much need and in addition to diego's to get bodes open the

street to hold people accountable and see some increases in the number of applications that we're getting from the police department and large academy classes we're grateful for that but at the same time chief scott mentioned that the we're seeing challenges with the numbers, you know. we have become creating creative in working around the limitation and challenges including the staffing issues with additional ours from the state and the feds have been incidentally valuable and the momentum is on our side i'm christ jesus practice is happening and continue to happen we'll not let up this is the most for thing three we are dealing with in san francisco. and we want to make sure whoever you are people who live and work here and people visit here need to feel safe doing everything we can to insure that is is case. i

also like to take this opportunity to just recognize that the conflict in the israel and cda as led to great news protests and other challenges that exist in the city we have seen peaceful protests in doesn't he our millions of dollars is helped to allow the public to cherries their freeman and do so safely your proolts have been stepped up in the institutions around san francisco and for peaceful protests no heightened issues or things that are of concern but remain vigilant and making sure that people have safe in san francisco as they exercise their freeman freedom of speech so workplace thank you for being here. and open up for a few

questions. >> can you talk about more about the grants (unintelligible). >> the 17. that is one just to be clear, one component of the additional resources and in addition to the support from the california housed patrol and the national guard from the state but the 17 is only direct to pay for overtime for police officers for revisions and for the additional. >> 17. scheduling of meetings, other events. in the district attorney's office to help prosecutor those individuals once the arrests are made. >> the foot patrols are completely different not funded by the state will be from san francisco our current budget with the police department and the goal so make adjustment and right now the reserve officers will be hired and come into the

reserve have thirty of them and active and out in the community and helping with public safety we hope by offering payment for the services will see that number increase and have more of our reserve officers on the streets walking the beat have to go through a process from the board of supervisors to allow this to occur i hope with the members of the board can ask us for the foot patrols and other support from the department of will support this wheeler wholeheartedly. >> what happened at the chinese (unintelligible) can you tell us. >> i'll let the chief talk about that. and um, there is - for those the question was about the chinese as of monday individual drove their car into

the chinese consulate office from that our officers responded quickly and we will be having a town hall meeting about this incident and at that point no future information at the town hall we plan to next thursday a week from now any additional information on the investigation we can share we'll share at that time but our process is about transparent and we've been doing 20u8 for i think we have one of the best models for the information i don't think anyone else does that like us but we'll be putting out information without drawing construction and letting the public know about the investigations where they stand next thursday coming thursday and i'll put information out at that time but no future information at this

point. >> consul case yesterday (unintelligible) the house so the police searched his house going to search and how they're searching will play a really for the investigations. >> yes. searches are part of investigation and yeah. i don't know you know what the reporter did but i will say that searches and search warrants are part of this. >> the reporter searching the results as your investigation um - >> i don't know had the reporter i can imagine the scenario that the reporters is searching. we will follow the law and the constitution. >> going into anyone else house

for a search in an investigation we'll have a search warrant and when it is appropriate we'll talk about that when it is appropriate. >> achieve a early morning warning people are walking around looking in cars, riding bilks and motor scooters and attempt to before he can wreak in cars california you do in our community. >> that's a great question. and an important question first of all, i'll say we do realize that and have officers out you'll never know our officers and that is how we made a number of our arrests and horrific car bureaus for the public if you see something suspicious call it in good put yourselves in harm's way be careful but please do

that. so it helps when we have vehicle description of a suspect a license plate this helps us do we we need to do call it in and report it. if you have photos or videos we need it too unfortunately, we're in a time where oftentimes people like to put things online before they give it to the police department and somehow we have to change that. we've seen crimes before we get a call that is online we we're reacting to public outrage i ask the people of the community put 2 own online if you want to but please give it to us. social media will not solve a crime the police department will we need the information and right thing to

do to give the information to us that's my ask. >> the culture (unintelligible) security given the conflict for violence we're aware of that (unintelligible) are other schools (unintelligible). >> yes. we are doing psa calls around the city. this police department is committed to protecting and serving eric so those goals as the mayor pointed out the conflict sparked a lot of interest and prophets and our job to make sure that all of that is done peacefully within the law and make sure that people see we're out they're doing these proolts so the short answer is yes. >> talk about the numbers that

showed up over what period (unintelligible) two months. >> bureaus have been up and down a negative all the year but in terms of car break no one's we started those strategies with 10 percent overall larceny and car break-ins have down. probably over 11 thousand less victims than last year. >> let me add i've within encouraging people to report the crimes not everybody reporting crimes you heard me say that before it hopes you report when our victimized i know where to focus our effort and have a chance to get the property back and helps please record our serial numbers own the phone have tracking energy to to track

because we do recover property and oftentimes, you know. the fencing operation that i mentioned 70 thousand dollars a lot of that is retail tagged we can get the property back to the rightful owner. sometimes we recover laptops and phones and have recovered property but not the owners because the serial numbers are not own there. any time you report a crime the seriously number will assist us to if you recover your property we can get it back to you i have to do our jobs but the public can help report the serial numbers so if we recover if we can get it back to you. >> when did that happen. >> two days ago.

>> so this is just a name we have coined to describe those operations that means we're going to bring the resources to the problem and not football but the quarterback is trying to tackle that and i mentioned this you several other active steps by the people that fit those crimes try to overwhelm is security guard and we have had that strategy if we very officers there we have enough officers to arrest people. that's what that is. >> will more people (unintelligible). >> yes. >> you, we know at least 4 arrested yesterday and have some good investigating leads and the message is this you might have gotten away with that but those

two we didn't catch yesterday you'll not get away with that forever we'll find you. >> i wanted to just add some appreciative because on the various illegal vending going on in san francisco. a lot in the mission district and many times in the plaza and other places in the city it is ladder thing but i think it is for that people especially public understand what we're asking this is stolen why is the police not doing anything this is a couple of years ago a state law passed that made that impossible to endorse laws using the police force have to be do the right thing administratively it puts you in a situation to create now legislation but provide a different vehicle img people in the any discussion to actually

go out and really make sure that people are permits and the aide provides for fee we need to insure that you are a vendors and understand where our stand-off came from and have receipts and other things we also want to make sure we're doing everything we can as a city to try and endorse our laws it is difficult for many any discussion staff and many of our public health investigators afternoon food and will not go out without police officers we have an obligation to protect our city workforce this is complicated and it is law that definitely needs to change but meantime have a number of the new policies we're to try to implement in san francisco to eliminate a place to do vending in san francisco we're working on that we know there is a lot of work to be done but

complicated and frustrating because it is failed policy and it is not working in san francisco and other major cities throughout the state and it creating this market that we know there are some vendor and legitimate vendors wanted to sell their item come in and get their permit to provide services for the city but basically a number of people public school taking advantage because they you see those market having flooded in san francisco parties we've not seen we are creative in working around that and figuring out ways we can make sure that we are investigating when those crimes occur that is leading to arrests. but there's definitely more work that needs to be done in particular. >> what's the law. >> we can get you the

information for

>> good afternoon, everyone. . being you call the roll. >> president ajami. >> here >> vice president maxwell. >> here >> commissioner paulson. >> here. >> commissioner rivera. >> hee yoovm commissioner stacy. >> here >> you may make up to 2 minutes of remote comment by dialing 415-655-0001, access code: 2592 330 0523 ##. >> note you enough limit comments to the item discusses unless under general public comment and if you don't stay on the topic you canning asked to limit your comment to the
