and in interest of being a transit first city, shooting down and denying projects like this are upholding the appeal. we are concerned about the message it would send across the city about where housing is or is not appropriate. we also know that all data indicates that people moving into new homes in san francisco, nearly three quarters of them, were previously living in san francisco. when we talk about who these homes will be four, by and large, they are for people who are already san franciscans and already our neighbours. already in our community. and so, you know, we have a shortage of homes in the city. the only solution to that is to build more homes, and that is the decision that we are dealing with. and i guess you get to deal with today. we are also perfectly aware of the data is a strong indicator that the construction of market rate and a hundred% affordable housing is an anti- to place -- anti- displacement tool. is many tools that we need to fight displacement where affordability and displacement is at an all-time high. we are literally losing -- living in the most unafford

the supervisor recognizes that we are a housing-first, transit-first city, as does the family that owns the property. they would like it to be used as a parking lot for a certain amount of years until they can get enough money to make it a housing place, to build housing there, because it is right across from the bart transit station and makes it very valuable piece of property. so he is respectfully asking you to consider a set of amendments that he will be making at the board on june 12 board meeting. and he really wants to stress that he is really for housing-first and there's been a promise and a commitment that the neighbors -- i mean, the owners really want to the do that. and he will introduce the legislation that will rezone the rh-2 portion to fall into the glen park commercial transit area. and he really hopes that you will keep it as a parking lot. and he owners take good care of it. it will be a way that they can gather some money to be financially able to build the housing that is so needed in the glen park area. so i thank you for your consideration. >> president hillis: t

budgets, the topline story is that these are strong budgets that help us advance the city's goals with respect to transit first safety and division zero, and our climate change goals for the city. specifically with the ating budget, you can see a slight increase proposed for the next two fiscal years, going from 1.18 21. to one and 1.27 in the second fiscal year. and there is a true two-year budget cycle. this shows you some historical revenues and expenditures. the break down here, by category, it shows you that the lion's share of the expenditures side of the budget should be in salaries and benefits for our staff. if yoyou can see modest growth l of those categories from the current fiscal year looking forward. more specifically with regard to staffing and fte growth, we do show a not insignificant growth and f.t.e. in this upcoming budget. and that is entirely really within the transit division. with offset on what reductions we've made and other divisions, and this is really representing the core of what we are proposing in this budget which is about more you need less crowding, but also to prepare oursel

the first part was the invest piece, where we took the transit impact development fee, the oldest impact fee in the city and kind of upgraded it and also increased it to include residential uses. then, we had the aligned phase where we phased out level of service as environmental transportation review and converted it as the state is doing to vehicle miles traveled, and then, what we branded the shift component or the transportation demand management or t.d.m. program. as it sounds, the concept is to shift people's transportation out of single occupancy vehicles and into other more sustainable modes. again i'm not going into a deep dive into the program, but just quickly, the singular focus of the program is really v.m.t. reduction, and for individual projects, generally speaking, the more parking the project provides, the more points they have to achieve, but there are lots of measures on the -- on the menu, and what that does is provide flexibility for projects to pick the measures that work best for them, and then certainty for that project knowing that as long as they meet their point total, they're
