things will never happen, it really reminds me of a discussion that was going on back in 2005 with ammiano, saying, "we will never let this happen again." this is to assure that it will meet the true needs of san francisco, and that means all of san francisco. and if this master plan exists, why are we going to let the most, the biggest, the most profitable medical corp. be exempt for their biggest project? once this thing is built, there is not going to be construction for quite awhile. you're talking about the next many years. you have the power to be able to delay this whole project until the city-wide master plan comes in. do it. president chiu: next speaker, please. >> good evening. my name is martha. i am the director of senior services. the mission neighborhood centers serve very low-income children, young people, and seniors in san francisco. i am here tonight in support of these projects, as i believe it will create jobs, stimulate the economy, and maintain and better the quality of health care for san francisco's, -- for san franciscans. i have worked for over 25 years and have h

i never thought that a candidate would be someone that i would support, but when tom and ammiano ran for mayor against willie brown, somehow, i got inspired. i thought, it someone that has integrity and honesty, that comes from the community, could run for mayor, maybe it is we something that can represent the community. i wanted to look at it from a candid perspective. >> when you did run for the border supervisors, what did you learn from that experience, from the campaign? >> from the campaign? so much. you knock on a lot of doors, talk to a lot of people. some of the things were interesting, how connected a lot of people were to their schools, communities. people were involved in their communities in some many ways. we have neighborhood organizations. there are so many people actively involved in the communities, neighborhoods, our organizations, child care facilities, relationships with seniors, at the park. that was something exciting to see. there were multiple ways for people to be involved as residents and members of the city. i was stunned by just how many artists were in d

[laughter] but i wanted to say to you, you are a dear friend, a mentor to me. it me

sec and was something back -- actually, both measures were put out by at the time supervisor tom ammiano, which is a rainy day fund. we had a time where san francisco was doing incredibly well. we had set aside a rainy day fund that has been used both by the city and county of san francisco and our school district. we have been able to weather the storm i think better than other counties and cities have. i do not know how much longer we will be able to continue doing that. at some point, that money is going to run out. >> any more questions? i want to again thank -- oh, sorry. >> hello. just curious, sort of, what is happening in san francisco with regards to policies to cope with the homeless and keep them safe. supervisor kim: that is a big question. homeless this continues to be one of the top issues at our office is working on and it is the same for my predecessors as well. we have a large portion of our homeless community in district 6. the city actually does do a lot for homeless communities. yes or not saying it is a lot, but there are a number of things that exist here that i am
