you referring to the city attorney you never referred nothing to the city attorney about blacks being discriminated against. we are recovered from the gentrification that is a bull shit lie. our race is diminishing if you say we are recovering when our numbers is 2 or 3% is insult on my intelligence and i don't appreciate that. >> chair mar: next speaker, please. >> i am the planned parent affairs officer. we have seen constant attacks on the reproductive healthcare, the title 10 restrictions, domestic gag rule, appointment of kavanaugh to the supreme court. we have had the opportunity to work with the board of supervisors to pass resolutions confirming the san francisco commitment for reproductive health. we urge you to support this today to ensure the passage. >> i am susan anthony. i am a planned parenthood supporter and mother and grandmother. my passion for woman's right to bodily autonomy is rooted in my experience 50 years ago. i became pregnant when it was not legal to have the abortion. the other or i experienced may be hard for younger women to imagine today. the thought of

the city is awash in wealth. another astonishing statistic was $175 billion of wealth resides in the city, and constantly, a lot of issues were made of the $20 billion budget that exists at city government. if you just talk with individual , low to moderate income workers, i thank you will be hard-pressed to find happy stories about living in san francisco. constantly there are refrains about the high cost of living, the quality of living going down and listening to the service provider perspective, burst -- particularly on workforce development, is very important. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am here with san francisco rising. on monday, along with bay resistance, and other labor allies, we helped organize a protest at amazon headquarters to hold them accountable to the ways that they are impacting communities here, particularly immigrant communities and working with and collaborating with i.c.e. we are here today with similar values in mind, and making sure that these large comp

mclaren park, one of our best parks in the city has great views of the city. it is just a couple blocks away. all these opportunities do really exist, and i really just worried that if you do pass landmark and ink -- and i encourage you to not do so today , that you are rejecting homes for people. at the end of the day, that is the actual reality of it. when we look at the scope of the city in the region, and we think about what younger generations will need, if they want our great grandkids to be able to cherish the opportunity of learning about this as well. we want to build homes for people. are great grandkids will not be here if we don't build homes. again, i encourage you to let it go to the office with the regular e.i.r. and we can figure out a way to make sure that we are preserving the site in a way that is remembering the past, but at the same time, preparing for future generations in san francisco. thank you. >> thank you. would you like to make public comment? >> historic preservation is an effective strategy for maintaining a tangible, physical co

actually still food and water and it can environment for the city of people the city of cape town or. the privatization of that there's a section of that to the benefit of a few develop us. the answer might seem obvious but a quarter of a century after its revolution south africa is still a deeply divided society with many different interests. do you solve poverty by giving poor people free water or do you solve poverty by giving poor people jobs. that's a philosophical question asked for from the sulphide human side of the fact that if you give water free water to poor people you create the payments you misled and that of course what the african national congress has done. more than half the world's population now lives in cities many of the existential risks connected with climate change are concentrated in urban centers and threaten the social fabric. one such risk is growing water scarcity. from a fall out for me it feels that water is going to be. dying then that's what. it's going to be. we don't have to be in this place today right if there is dead listen to people like us then

we have a huge city budget.t is turning and people's perception of city services is heading back down, not there yet but in the direction where we were during the recession which is interesting for me. i was surprised by the relatively low priority that respondents gave to muni in the survey, not consistent with, you know, volume of calls, e-mails and communications to our office. it was interesting to me as you look there is a lot of variability across districts in what people think has gotten better or worse. there is no variability across districts in the fact people's perception of muni overall it is the worst in every district. i don't think, you know, on a chart that shows a lot of difference teen what folks in district one, six, eight think about various things. that is the only area where the lineup is consistent across districts. one area that seems super-variable is perception of what is happening with 311. overall the grades improved for 2017. there are many districts in which people think it is worse

the city and city college that was negotiated by the mayor's office and city college translore chancellor's office and was approved on june 27. in order to move this agreement forward, there are three items for the board to take action on. the first item is the motion to withdraw the free city charter amendment, which is item number 4 on today's rules committee agenda. the second item is the ordinance modifying the city college financial assistance fund and oversight committee to align with the terms of the t.a. and the m.o.u., which is item 5 on today's rules committee agenda. the third item is a resolution directing dcyf to negotiate the fully executed ten-year m.o.u. with city college administration, which is scheduled to be heard in the g.a.o. committee special meeting on thursday, july 11. because all three items are interrelated and are in effect a package deal, i would -- would really like to have all three items to be voted on by the full board together on july 16. i would like to thank president yee and chair ronen's offices for helping to expedite the three free city college items

i do prep through city clinic. you know i get my tests read here regularly and i highly recommend prep >> a lot of patients inclined to think that there's no way they could afford to pay for prep. we really encourage people to come in and talk to one of our prep navigators. we find that we can help almost everyone find a way to access prep so it's affordable for them. >> if you times we do have opponents would be on thursday morning. we have two different clinics going on at that time. when is women's health services. people can make an appointment either by calling them a dropping in or emailing us for that. we also have an hiv care clinic that happens on that morning as well also by appointment only. he was city clinic has been like home to me. i been coming here since 2011. my name iskim troy, client of city clinic. when i first learned i was hiv positive i do not know what it was. i felt my life would be just ending there but all the support they gave me and all the information i need to know was very helpful.

with that, i will turn it back over, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the city, enjoy pride month in the city. let's have an amazing time. make sure you don't forget to go to our restaurants and spend all of your money, too. thank you so much. >> thank you, mayor breed. now it is my honor to introduce you to someone who has done so much work in san francisco and now leading the way across california. our state senator scott weiner. [cheers and applause.] >> thank you, and i want to thank the mayor for being an extraordinary ally to our community. thank you, mayor breed, for everything you do. this city is in amazing hands under your leadership. thank you. this is my 23rd san francisco pride. my 29th overall pride since i came out as a gay man a long, long time ago. time flies. i am optimistic for our community in many ways. this community that been through so much in terms of the hate crimes and the worst of the hiv aids crisis and housing crisis and all of the other weighs in which our community that struggled over the years in san francisco and elsewhere. we are so resilient and the communi

city.all of the greatest challenges we face are rooted in economic inequality, housing affordability and homelessness, gentrification and the exploitation of workers whose labor creates the immense wealth in our city but who seldom share in it. we do have a moral obligation to create a more economically just city. san francisco has the highest income gap in the nation, the highest housing costs in the nation, and the highest concentration of billionaires anywhere in the world. the majority of people, our constituents, feel the negative impacts of this every day. these are not problems unique to our city, but here, they are uniquely urgent. for decades in our country, we've seen a massive redistribution of wealth from the working people towards the top 1%, exacerbated by divesting from social services, attacks on the labor movement, and tax breaks from big corporations at the expense of every day people. and here in san francisco, we've seen the result. wealthy corporations receive big tax b

it is doable for the city. having said that though, we do recognize that this is a complex undertaking and it is not without risks and challenges. on this slide i am presenting a comparison on how public funds are used under these options. where decision-making and grid control lies. who oversees the programs, sets the rates and ensures operational accountability? the effectiveness of achieving san francisco's climate goals and how the option described, and the clean power sf program fit. as you see here, full independence is the option that perform the best. public funds would be used for public ownership and investment in san francisco grid. san francisco would control the grid and make associated decisions. voters, the board, the mayor, our commission would ensure accountability and driving achievement of our climate goals and we would be integrating the clean power sf program fully. risks and challenges do exist under this scenario, as i mentioned. they would need to be assessed. we would need to take a loo

a key policy opportunity is a policy signal from the city directly communicated to the city favoring all electric buildings in support of meeting its zero emission goals. so the introduction of today's proposal to ensure that the city installs no new natural gas using infrastructure in either the major alteration or the new construction of its own facilities is a key first step. and then the broader question of how do we get there city-wide in our new construction and our built environment is the subject of a task force that mayor breed has called for that we're working and preparing for and the outcome of that we'll talk about on this today. pardon me. it's important now to not just talk about where we need to go but what we need to get through to get there. so there's some significant challenges to making this transition and there's reason yes our built environment isn't all electric today. one of the key elements is the california energy code. that is the instrument of a great deal of the energy efficiency benefits that we have as san franciscoians and a key resource for us but it

under the city's watch, under the city's responsibility. i want to focus on two additional points, both of which have to do with the public trust there is the law of the public trust. this isn't like an lot of other city properties. this used to be san francisco bay. san francisco got this property in trust from the state in 1969, it is a very special piece of state property. why are you putting this mega center here now and not somewhere else? the public trust doctrine holds that certain important resources like the waterfront property are preserved in perpetuity for public use and enjoyment just as private trustees are judicially accountable to the beneficiaries so two -- so too is a city otranto san francisco a trustee for the state to manage this public trust property. if you want to make a nonpublic trust use like this a public trust property, the burton act requires the safety to make a very specific findings, which has -- it has not made here, and more recent legislation, which the port of san francisco drafted ads the additional con

the most important issue in this city and nationwide, but especially this city is homelessness. homeless people should be treated fairly, and being treated fairly is a commission so they can be treated like everyone else. people are -- unhoused citizens shouldn't be treated different than anyone else. i'm an e.d. of two different nonprofits. i'd rather do something else so i can get much more done. our citizens -- our homeless citizens i have a right to build influenced policy. they can't do it right now. i can share the local homeless board, and we -- i sit on the local homeless board, and we can sit there and say yes, ma'am, yes, sir, but we can't do anything else. they brought us hsoc -- and i know we're going to do this. as we come to do this, we need to see where hsoc is going to fit. our homeless citizens, the only thing they see is hsoc pulling their tent down. so please do not lose the sight that this commission will have direct oversight over hsoc. that's the only thing, and thank you all. >> hi. my name is mallory, and i'm speaking for san francisco housing action coal

my colleagues in the city services are in the controller's office that do a city survey every two years. since 2013, they've asked people about the transportation behavior and this is a chart that is based on data from that survey showing, by different modes of transportation what percentage of san francisco residents you some three or more times a week and both in 2013 and in 2013. the only wrinkle in this chart is they didn't ask the question about tn sees in 2013. so this is a 2015 figure for tn see. since 2015, the number of people who use these more than three times a week has doubled. since 2013, the percentage of people who use every other transportation mode in the city has declined in those six years. the only growth among transportation use in the city has been tn see sins to that since 2013. as supervisor peskin alluded to, the san francisco county transportation authority has studied these in the city in-depth, and last year they released a report that statistically analysed different contributions to the city's rising projections and found that over 50% of the growth in the
