san francisco is often known as the kansas city. -- as the can-do city. we also believe we are a can-do city. our futures are so links to each other that we will rise and fall together. thank you for coming, so many of you who did come. please join us on a first friday, and join us for some of the best art galleries and restaurants. it is basically a party downtown. if you are coming early, give my office a call. we pour a little bit of wine on the first friday and invite you to stop by the mayor's office, if you are looking for real estate. fred can help you any time. we often will show people around on first fridays. >> thank you, mayor quan. to introduce for the q&a portion, and again, hold your please welcome dan angell, president and ceo of golden gate university, who will introduce our moderator. >> recently, i saw a sign coming down the highway, and it sent a simple message. it said paradigms' may have changed while in flight. a lot of changes going on very quickly. at golden gate university, we have been part of the greater bay area economy for 11

[applause] >> good morning, everyone. i am the executive director of the bay area. we do not get a turnaround you get. and is our honor and privilege to host you, mr. mayor, city college of san francisco, a leading companies in san francisco, and fellow community organizations. we open your bay area three years ago this past tuesday and will come to our class of 80 students. we are trying to solve two problems of the same time. the first is that companies are struggling to find talent, particularly in the field of technology. at the same time, there are thousands of talented young adults in the city and more than 5 million across the country looking for the opportunity to build a meaningful career. our students go through five months of intensive training and hard i.t. skills and the increasingly important soft skills of communication and professionalism. this is

so cities do suffer. cities do suffer. keep in mind, though, too, that there are always local people in these cities, residents, activists, housing advocates, teachers, union organizers, there are always people in cities throughout the 20th century trying to fight against these issues. there's always people who are doing that. even though we don't usually think about them. we don't usually study them. they are there. right? they are there. i want you to keep that in mind, too. but as you saw in the article about the bay area, you saw in the article about the oakland corridor, fighting against these issues is extremely difficult. it was extremely difficult. the forces of history that urban activists had to fight against were entrenched. they're entrenched in structures of inequality, spatial structures between where people live. they're entrenched in structures of income divides, between who has access to jobs and who comes at kind of the moments of the industrialization. there's historical structures of political divisions

they're probably more in this city than any other city in the country. it may not be a major consideration. there are a lot of other factors affecting this. with also want to look at maintaining a diversity in the population. low-wage earners, who also providing many of the services that we depend on. maintenance, we don't want the low wage earners are leaving the city. we want them to raise the families here. the real question is, how do we shift resources and approaches in the infrastructure and the most important, development capital. what is the game plan? where do we start? i'm sorry that this did not have all lot of specific data. we were trying to present this as a snapshot with the family fight issues. we would be glad to provide you with significant information later on. supervisor farrell: next, i am going to ask chris from the seine and cisco unified school district to come up. do you want to talk real quick? i know you have to leave by 1:45. here we go. >> i will tell you, we are focusing on trying to help the solution. >> we have the populat

and we have two cities that are top of our bike use. the city of gronig and the city of shola. over 50 october of of all trips daily made by bike. and for regional use of the bicycle. got some figures compared to a car. then you can see that schoolchildren use the bicycle very frequently for education. and still businessmen use the car a lot. and social recreational reasons. a reason for using the bike and shopping. we like to go shopping on our bikes. come to that later. and when it comes to gender. who's using the bicycle. i'm told that the netherlands is very typical on this. we have more women on bikes then -- than men. and the most intense users are girls from the age of 12 to 18 and that's easy to explain because i once was a girl of that age and to me, mabika was my ticket to freedom. i didn't want my mom and dad bringing me by car somewhere and then say well, i'll pick you up at 6:00. i go on my bike and i'll try to make it at 6:00. most of the time i was there. 6:30. and then later you can see at all

as a kid born and raised in the city, a number of my friends live outside of the city right now as well. it is a very personal issue that concerns everyone in the city, everyone on the board, and it is something i thought we should make sure to bring to the forefront. the reasons vary. but the facts are the facts. the recent census figure shows that most are younger than age 18. in 1960, that number was 24%. we have struggled to attract and retain young families. the city has 3000 more children than it did 10 years ago and has lost more than a thousand children between the ages of 5 and 18. speculation as to the causes of family fights, -- flight, the cost of housing, the education system, the cost of living in general. and quality of life issues like safe streets and neighborhoods. i of the issue of family flight has been looked at, but i wanted to call this hearing to bring everyone together to get the data together in a once in the place and start thinking about and having a dialogue about what we are doing in the future. why does this matter? to me, it is quite simple. keeping famil

a city for the 100%. everybody gets to live in our city and live with dignity.is what i am going to be doing in all my years is making sure everyone can be here. [applause] we are recognizing the celebrates the spirit of our african-american experience, the contributions that everyone has made to our great city to make sure it is a diversity. that is why i moved here. it is why you moved here. that is why so many of her friends decided it would make their mark here in our city because of our diversity. this year's theme could be no less important. black women and american history and culture. absolutely. and it is particularly poignant that it highlights african- americans experiences through their patriotism, through their labor, leadership, motherhood, intellect, and artistic expression. all of us regardless of ethnic origin or social and economic background have benefited from the contributions of these women. in the american culture, menino of the historical accomplishments of the african- american women, phyllis wheatley, harriet tubman, leader of undergrou

cities after world war 2. this lasts an hour and 20 minutes. >> so today is a lecture on the origins of the urban crisis. the term urban crisis is in the title of this class. all right? race, class, gender and the urban crisis. we use the hbo miniseries "the wire" as a text to study, or to think about the urban crisis. and also, again, we use "the wire" for the sociological presentation that gives us the post-war american cities and also to ask questions of it because it gives us the window into the post-war police procedural, through fighting crime, or through police and criminals, which allows us to see a great many things. but it also occludes and hides other elements of life in post-war cities as well. so we use "the wire" both for what it does and what it doesn't do. but today's lecture is more or less a historical overview of the origins of the urban crisis. and that comes from the title of a book of a monograph 1995, a book that you read an excerpt from it. he concentrated on detroit. and that's where i

the city. we will get there with the bayview and north beach library. they will be completed because we have wonderful public works managers on top of that. we have the chinese recreation center that is about to be completed with rec and park. we have a number of fire stations that are part of the whole public safety program, again it reflected in the 10- year capital infrastructure plan. i want to note that public works, while being one of the most important infrastructure departments, has also, over the years, had leadership that have collaborated with public utilities commission, with the port, with the airport, where it muni so that it is part of the official city family of doing things. i know that ed reiskin appreciates this collaboration, because that is how we get a lot of things done. it is not just the construction departments that we collaborate with. we are collaborating with our police department, with our human services department, with all the other agencies that need to get invo

we are the city for the 100%. we will work together. i will make sure the city. discourse is positive. we will not forget the foundation that provides us with economic growth. let's move forward and let's move forward together. thank you very much. [applause] >> i guess that makes it clear why mayor lee's approval rating is soaring. thank you, mayor, for your leadership and vision and since we're running over, i will do just a very quick wrap up. prosperity together as possible. but it is only possible when business, labour, and government work together. that was our theme today. that is the goal for the year ahead. we could not bring new programs like this without our great sponsors. let's get around the's to jpmorgan chase and all our top sponsors -- let's give a round of applause to jpmorgan chase and all our top sponsors. thank you to our board members. thank you for support. it is going to be a great year ahead and think you for coming out this morning. -- thank you for coming out this morning.

in moving the city forward. i agree with an approach that focuses less on a site issues and more on bringing people together to address the problems that we face. because there are simply too many conflicts and issues, including the creation of good paying jobs, which i think should be one of the top priorities, and i am sure it is a concern to many of the constituents in district 5. strategies to deal with changes in redevelopment and its impact to our city. improvements to public safety in district 5, and the exploration for obtaining more affordable middle, lower, income housing. these are the basic kinds of issues i want to tackle. with all of your help, i believe we can make the kinds of lasting impacts that will improve the daily life for all of us here in san francisco. finally, i want to conclude with a pledge to the residence in d- 5. i know you did not elect me, but i promise you i will work hard to earn your respect and trust. i am prepared to go that extra mile on your behalf to improve the neighborh

in terms of general, broad and -- what parents are saying broadly in the city, the city issued a city survey back in 2009. i have a few points from that survey. one is that parents report that amid news of children's programs and an increasing rate. that is seen in our database. we saw a significant increase in children and entered into our data system being served in the last two years. another point was that although there is a level use of top care programs in the city for children under 6, we are seeing a huge intake in after-school programs, youth employment programs, and counseling programs for young people. parents who send their children to san francisco schools, public and private, say they really love their school. i think this notion of a school being a bad school, and that is why they are leaving, is perhaps a small portion of the population. i will admit it is difficult. being a parent who had to go through the school enrollment process, it was difficult. but we have lots of parent organizations out there that support the parents in trying to maneuver through and understa
