about the will of the voters but i also think about when i went to the two community meetings that vallie brown held over the last few months where i heard dozens of people say they want more housing, they want it built, they want more affordable housing. i'm a little worried that it sounds like we're gambling here with affordable units. we think oh, maybe we can get more or maybe we won't get more or maybe units won't get built. it really feels like no one has any idea what's going to happen here. more affordable ratios don't always end up the way we think they will. look at mission rock, which did have a high affordability rate. it also had a number of office units to offset that and more office units, which cause most gentrification which caused more displacement. a lot of the times when we asked developers, please, give us more affordable units, what they're thinking is ok, we can do more affordable units but we'll also have to do office space to cross subsidize those costs. i think we need a new process here for actually get ago forwarget affordableunits. if we have one meeting after anoth

. >> good afternoon, supervisors, including my supervisor vallie brown, happy to be here in front of all of you. my name is tammy bryant. seiu 1021 steward, and delegate. i'm here because i worked for the city five years and witnessed firsthand constant discrimination against my black colleagues. seen it in the hiring or the lack thereof. in the hiring, many black workers are not getting their foot in the door. seen it in the black of promotions from my black colleagues. seen the eligible list with names of qualified colleagues who do not get the promotions they applied for. not only is it wrong for my colleagues and right for the decent livelihood, but bad for the public they serve. do not staff the agency for what they serve, and lack of delivering the best service possible to the public. my agency treats their jobs as a career path stepping stone, they do not value delivering the best service possible, my own friend who is black was not fairly fired. she lost her job, a young mother of two. as stated earlier, this discrimination results in a lack of quality services and in the set

supervisor vallie brown has some questions as well. >> supervisor brown: thank you everyone coming today. i know this can be grueling for everyone. i just want to make a comment and you know, i represent the western addition, and i've been working in the western addition for over 13 years. and for the western addition, and 13 years in city hall. and one of the things that we have always been talking about as, you know, getting jobs with the african american community, and good jobs, which are usually city union jobs, and how do we do that. you know, we look at the proportion of the demographics of african americans in the city and the ones that work in the city, i don't think we can look at that because we have pushed people out of the city because of housing, because of -- [cheering] because of housing and because of the costs, and so we have a lot of african american community had to leave the city but still have the family roots here. i know so many that work in the city, bring their children to the city to go to school because they have their childcare here, their family, their paren
