city government. had to find creative ways to leverage our population and technology to get things done. with 34 employees, you can only do so much. my story really began with trying to find ways to leverage that community, trying to find ways to leverage our ecosystem and our partners, and local universities to do big things in government. we actually did not get any response from local universities while i was there and i went to stanford and i said, i have this idea. thatt to launch a portal allows us to collect ideas from residents and allow us to implement them. they said, we will partner with you. it was great to have that logo and partnership system. the great story behind manner was that all the technology and innovation that came out of it can be transplanted anywhere. and it was. so when i left and went elsewhere, my job was really to transplant technology and try to take technology and innovation in the public sector and skilled dentist of these of all sizes. what i realized during that pro

so some cities are shelling out tens of millions of dollars to do it themselves. 89 cities across the united states provide their own fiber broadband and half offer gigabit service, paying for the infrastructure by selling bonds, opening lines of credit and they are running the service out of local utilities or partnering with privately company. by taking this proactive aggressive approach cities have sparked huge fights with cable and telecom heavy waits. the industry says it is unfair to have to compete against government entities so companies are pulling out all the stops to prevent cities from going gig, and they have helped put through restrictive laws in 19 states. president obama called for an end to these kind of restrictive laws but for many cities the decision to invest in gigabit internet is wayed against cost risk and how hard they are going to have to fight against those entrenched telecoms and cable companies. the battle has lit a fire under the incumbents to offer this service and that's creating more customers, fighting for high speed intrrntd customers. imrrninternet

almost all the city is tied to problems in the city. for example, blighted and vacant buildings, slumlord type of situations where you don't have heat or water. we bring drug abatement and drug operations and gambling. our office also brings cases against properties for we have illegal short-term rentals and sro's and other unlawful legal practices and dumping cases as well as other types of cases. i see myself in the code district as a funnel for the district for receiving complaints and i have received from people in the hotline and from city supervisors and make referrals or make actions which are appropriate. since i joined the office in 2015 i have been able to foster communications and county llaboration -- collaboration with the district and the stations. so in particular i know that supervisor avalos is mostly interested in how the different city agencies work together. so, for example shortly after i came to the office, i initiated monthly code enforcement meetings for the various inspectors with the police department, fire dep

i believe that he wanted this city to thrive, he wanted this city to be great, he wanted the city to reclaim the historical significance that it once had. i compare him to bernie madoff. bernie madoff wanted his investors to succeed. bernie madoff wanted his investors to get rich. he wanted them to be prosperous. stephen reed didn't want to get caught. bernie madoff didn't want to get caught. they were both willing to do whatever they had to do because they were focused on their objective. it looks line stephen reed has been caught after this -- like steven reed has been caught after this book came out. we'll get to that a little bit later. but what he ended up doing was when he came into office in 1982 -- as i said, the city didn't really have much of a tax base. he couldn't really get revenue. so he had to use what i call financial tricks, accounting tricks. he had to find ways to get money to the city, and then he would take that money, and then he would reinvest it in the city. often times he would shuffle it around. he had a bunch of these schemes that he would do that people we

both sfusd and the city. i think housing is certainly one of them, whether it's housing our family and youth, that are in stable housing or lives on our streets or shelters and also if it means housing the very staff members on the frontlines that are educating them or working in our schools, our teachers, our nurses, our counselors and our paraprofessionals and frontline staff. it's essential for the system to work that our employees can afford to live in the city or near the city in order to be able to continue to serve the many families and students in sfusd. and so i appreciate that the school district and the mayor's office of housing really it's been an unprecedented partnership. i certainly didn't see it during my time on the board, but have been meeting regularly. i know the planning department is now involved as well to figure how to plan for the population growth, as well as growing sfusd's enrollment and facilities. i think it's incredibly important for both partners to be at the table to figure ou

against the city? >> yes, for example, a woman called me on high street. the ground floor tenant has been renting on airbnb and claims he's the number one host in san francisco. rents $3,000 a month rent controlled apartment up to $11,000 a month. and uses proceeds to spend three months in bali, three months in thailand. she called airbnb and said he does not have my permission to do this. take down the listing. cancel any reservations. airbnb said no. the folks who manage all the housing have the same issue with airbnb. call and stop listing these units, cancel the reservations. airbnb said no. i don't see how a responsible corporation behaves like that. and i don't think they're going to change their behavior until the city has the ability to fine them for listing unregistered units. >> this question is to both of you. only a small percentage of hosts have registered with the city in accordance with the law which you were alluding to. what more needs to be done to encourage compliance, patrick? >> i

we are the wealthiest big city or little city in the country.h that wealth comes obligation. for everyone given much, much is demanded. when it comes to city crimes, we should put our wealth to use to help the families of victims and get the most violent offenders off the streets. the city has at times offered rewards in specific cases but it does so in ad hoc cases bus there is no established fund or consistent process. this could lead to the misperception that some lives are more important than others. it is not. i want to start a reward for $250,000 to anyone who leads to an arrest of an unsolved case. the election will establish a criteria, in many case the police department solves a case without a reward. the fund should lead to homicide cases that have gone unsolved. in which the police have exhausted all investigative lead and for which the chief of police has in his or her discretion determined that public assistance and a reward is necessary. the reward fund should be subject to annual appropriation from monies from previous years carri
