outside of the state of california, almost everybody uses street improvements for obligation bonds. seven of the foulargest cities n the country all views general obligation bonds for street resurfacing. the three cities on that list are all in california. los angeles, san diego, and san jose. the reason these california cities are not using go bonds is not of they are not and of corporate capital expense, but because there is a higher voter threshold in california and then there is an oscar in the country. it is very difficult in california to get general obligation bonds passed for anything. until the state voters change the threshold for schools, school bonds across the state were failing to get two-thirds vote. the constitution was amended to allow those bonds to be approved with 55% voter support. so almost everywhere we look, this is a common way to fund our capital assets that do have a long life. and we will continue to talk about how the capital plan, that the board of supervisors adopted, talks about what capital assets are and segregates those things from those things in the city operating budget. thes

we are the only city in california that has such a law. many cities are struggling with the problem of locating housing in residential areas near freeways. an example of this in a form of analysis is that this work can be applied before the development process in planning. the redevelopment of the upper muni yard, there have been integrations of affordable housing into the project. highway 280 is a challenge because of housing in this location. it the department was asked to work with community members and developers on what mitigation strategies might be deployed to make this project work for all interests. i am going to move next to the environmental quality act. i don't think i need to provide you with much background on this. briefly, every agency must evaluate potentially significant environmental impacts. environmental impact reports must identify impacts. this is why the health department works with the planning department in reviewing the environmental impact report. they routinely review analysis by critiquing analysis done by othe
