today is about bart. it's about our partnership and working together to make san francisco a safer place for awful us. safer place for all of us. so many things happy as a result of the pandemic. now the pandemic is almost preempty much behind us. how do we roll up our sleeves in order though move the city forward? how do we roll up our sleeves to make san francisco the place we know and love? i hear people talk about san francisco and how it's such a beautiful city. we know it's a beautiful city but how do we keep it that way? we fight for it. we keep it that way by making the appropriate investments. keep it that way by working together. today is a testament to that. i mentioned the need for additional officers. and i want to thank members of the board of supervisors including the budget chair, hillary ronan and mike dorsey and supervisor mandelman because we wouldn't be able to just get our additional resource toses backfill positions in our police department, but the work we feed to do for ambassadors

bart is looking to hear from people like lugo they just released this survey called bart metro 2030 andpeople if they would take bart more if they added a sixth line and if they added trains after 9 pm the two options would expand east bay service during daylight and early evening hours and expand evening service in the core of its system. what happens during all seven days now is we go to from a five-line service during the day and again the early evening at 9pm it goes to three line service. so one of the interesting possibilities here is a chance to expand that evening service and to have more transmate trips bart spokesperson, chris philippi says in order to do that. they would look at adding a portion of the red line from richmond daily city that would continue past 9 pm and also add a portion of the green line from bayfair to daly city and that would be a big thing for folks that works wing shift. that's something that we've seen during the pandemic especially for folks going to downtown san francisco in downtown oakland working at bars and restaurants bart is still working to rec

i have major kind of questions for the downtown office bart complex because i don't know how bart can really go forever based on 30% occupancy. i don't know any enterprise that can say we are just not going to have 70% of our customers and everything will be fine. that can't go on forever. for bart service, you can't serve those offices and you can't get people down there. the half of the cities office workforce that lives outside of san francisco needs to be able to get there. if they don't get there, they have a whole cascading effect on the county. offices are 65 percent of the city's gdp. if the office market stays in a permanent low or recession, then that affects everything else. the housing rate is down and i would say it's office related. our housing is weak and because it is so expensive is you need to live here to get access to a san francisco high paying job, but if you don't need to be here to get access to that job, if you can do it remotely, then why would you pay so much for a condo in san francisco. if our housing is over pricing, that implies the recent housing develo
