legislation all kind of overlapped one another and onion sidewalks and never get to the bottom to undue the red tape instead of a big splash but prop h we're neurology to put in measures into that that or near and dear to my heart that is the night life in san francisco i want to talk about what this new piece of legislation does for night life a big deal more importantly it allows night life to in clubs to restaurants own wine bars to serve wine to avail themselves of 90 day exposed permit this is wonky but a big deal while you're waiting for months and months and planning you are paying rent before our

opening we need to simply go back to investors and no guarantee you'll get no guarantor they'll approve this is a huge, huge for the businesses and so thrived thank you for that. um, and, secondly, it allows a planning code remedying for 90 like licenses and there are very, very big deal for music venues and allows the venues a lot better chance to have a code for that locally and a lot of things just removed zoning restrictions and wouldn't cloud one person from playing a guitar in the coffee shop. makes no worldly sense whatsoever thank you, to the mayor's office in any mind been impact full.

filmed whether ppo want to be or not things are changing and to view this kind of technology and who helped us address crime is something we need to do other jurisdictions are using it and the fact that anyone if not in law enforcement can use it in the way a our law enforcement can't that is for the something that can be happening technology is everywhere examiners all over homeless and places you go that is one it is going to be what we need to mayor wearing able to responsibly with laws on the books use this technology in order to help us deal what crime 2w50rgz with the - we had access and able to use the kind of surveillance we know other jurisdictions are using that's the kind of thing we could have

prevented to make sure it is not happening in the first to insure we're open and transparency with the public for technology a part ofs reports as well after cases are solved and what have you but 2023 and important and a price to pay for safety. >> brief closures, etc. part of the [off mic.] >> initiative can you describe how large [off mic.] >> thank you for the question will be street closures as part of the plan in union square and basically that will go from better to o'farrell and to mason. and some of them will be hard closures and from the hours of 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. see those closures next for a pack

at holiday season beginning november 25th to december 24th and the reason we're doing that is that we found parallel in 2020 able to manager the situation for street closures work with the community and the circumstance make sure that we lessen the impact if you don't hear anything else we want to make it hard for the people who decide that we're talking about make it hard to do that in our city and street closures it part of that that will be just that so those are the dates and we'll be communicating with the public when those closures start and stop to make sure there are will be mile-an-hour inconveniences but safety in the top priority.

>> what's the impact around the neighbors? >> well, there will be foolish in we know a lot of as mayor mentioned 21 economics and world london breed's from around the world will be here so will be motorcades and things like that will be traffic impacts so again we're to communicate to make sure that people that make the sxrauchlt they need to make and some of the closures the perimeters will be open for business to people live in the areas for example, a question about trader joe's will do what they need to do and lessen the impact on the community so have to have closures an event of

this magnitude so those interested in on the sf mta website and scroll down to and see where the closures will be and has not >> i think a lot of times we get in adult lives we are afraid to follow our passions and think life can't be that easy. but i truly do believe i followed my heart this time in

my journal in city government i did not know that is where my passion lied. i kept following it and ltd. to great opportunity to serve the city. [music] >> i'm katy tang the executive director of the office of small business. >> small business contributes to san francisco's economy. they provide the bulk of employment in the city and employing a million people in san francisco. and roughly 90% of the businesses are defined as small businesses. so, they contribute to the economy but also just the quality of life. small businesses are more then and there a place of transaction it is a community center. a play where people gather.

know each other and form memories about the city. >> at the office of mall business i run a team this helps report all mall businesses in san francisco whether they are looking to stfrt a new business or expand or perhaps they are feeling with issues. our office is here as a point of information for anyone with a business that has 100 or nower employees. >> i was growing up i had many ideas of when i wanted to do. i wanted to being an olympic swimmer. and i wanted to men be an architect, you name it i had many ideas for what i wanted do when i grew up. and i never anticipated entering in politics. this opportunity came along wh started working for former

supervisor carmen chu and she became the district 4 sunset district supervisor. that was my firstent row in politics and government in a different level. and so when i was finishing up my time working for legislative aid i thought, i will go off and do something else. may be explore opportunity outside of city government what was then approached by this opportunity to also serve as a district 4 supervisor. if not the traditional route that many people think of when you enter in politics. a lot know that is manage than i want to do and run for office. that was not part of my culture and upbringing with manage my parents were wondering why i wanted to go in that role this legislation and important because so many women when have it return to work after having a child feel embarrassed or don't

feel comfortable asking their supervisor for will any lactation accommodations. i saw it as an opportunity you could use the position where you have tools creating legislation and pass laws and where people listen to to you help the community and pass cause catharsis important to the city and individuals. my family immigrated to the united states from taiwan. and they came here in pronl probably late 20's almost 30. and so, they came also in the knowing english limp barely read or write but had to quickly understand english to i can't haveigate services and find a job in america. i grew up in the san francisco sunset district i spent most of my childed hoo up until i went off to college. so when i started working in city government, i think i had

mixed reactions about my involvement working government because for some of our parents generation, there is i bit of distrust in government. i think there are questions about why i was entering in this field of work. i think you know when i went in city government i thought about my parents like so many other who is have to navigate city services and resources english first language and help the individuals both navigate, intercept that is on an application approximate signage. it is fulfilling to mow to help people like my parent and feel like government is there to support them and not to harm them. my parents are happy that i retired early from politics and being a district 4 supervisor i could have continued on for a couple more years approximate decided to leave early. i think that over all they were

able to see some of my work appear in the chinese newspaper. through that they were able to see i was able to help communities in a tangible way. >> the member of the board of supervisors. >> transportation authority. for the city and county of san francisco. congratulations. >> i think about one importance when i was worn in as district 4 supervisor. years ago, and someone actually came up to me during the swear nothing ceremony and said, wow, i'm traveling here from canada, and i just i could not believe i saw an asian female worn in in this role a leadership role this meant so much that someone would say that and felt they were inspired by the scene. so -- i hope that as more people see people that look like them and more women coming in positions of leadership than i

feel they can doing the same. person this inpyred me is carmen chu who is our city add administrator but also was district 4 supervisor when i worked with her as a legislative aid. at this point, i too, was skeptical of going in politics. i saw someone who had herself never seen herself in politics. got thrown into it and put her heart and soul and dedication to serve people. and it gave me the confidence to pursue that same job and i honestly would not have either chosen or accepted or considered serving on the board of supervisors were not for carmen. >> if you want to make your business accessible. >> in my role in city government where i have seen the most challenge is people who don't know you and you are here to serve and help them that they

classify you as our city government and here to hurt you. so, people will talk to you and -- and just you know treat you disrespectfully. and sometimes i noticed that they might do more to me as a female compared to my male colleagues. but you know i try to be empathetic. one of the most significant barriers to female empowerment we feel like we have to be 100% meeting all of the qualifications before we think that we are qualified to do a job. if we look at a job description or an opportunity to come your way well is self doubt about whether you can fulfill the obligations of that role. i think that the confidence is huge and sometimes i think we make up for it by trying to gain more experience. more and more and more in whatever we can put under our

belts we'll feel better. that may not be the case. we might be qualified with when we have already accomplished. i started rock climbing indoors a couple years ago as an activity to try to spends time with my husband and also to try something new and i finds that rock climbing there are so many parallels to life. you know when i'm on the wall i'm concentrating and trying to make it to the next piece without falling. there are daying you think i'm not making progress. you come back and wow, i hit another level. and so i feel like in our daily lives and w we think we are not making enough of i change in the city. and sometimes we have to take out time to reflect every day as long as you try and give it your all and you look back you will

have made a significant contribution there is no limit to where you go in terms of rock climbing. i want to reminds myself of that in terms of daily life. >> follow what it is you are interested in, what makes you feel excited about wake up every day. you never know and be open to all the possibilities and opportunity.
