an international leader in civil rights, we are a city of dreamers and doers and we are in fact a city of innovation. in fact the innovation capitol of the world. this is what city hall means to so many people. just as we lead the nation in human rights, we also lead in environmental justice and environmental standards. as naomi said, we are now the oldest building in all of united states to receive the lead platinum certification for a building that conserves energy and water conservation. with the additional upgrades on the solar panels and the energy efficient lighting that naomi described, we are getting prepared for the next 100 years. so i'm proud that the celebration is a unique public private celebration, demonstrates how world class that we are in our philanthropy and this is another example. the partnerships that we formed in this city has helped our homeless families succeed more. it's gotten rid of single mothers on the street more and more. we created a free muni for our low income youth in happy birthday, mayor lee. this building wouldn't be here without mayor will

are paid fairly. you know, just like the taxes in the city are driving people out of the city, the way we treat our teachers in the city is driving them to get jobs in other places outside of the city and leaving our kids without people who can educate them. now, not all teachers are in it for the right reasons, and i say to them, "get out," but let's give the teachers who are really in it for the children -- let's give them the resources that they need so that they can properly educate them. >> and what about the school reform commission? it's their job to sort of get those resources into their hands and set the path for the school system moving forward. is it effective, or has it run its course? >> well, i think the voters told us on may 19th what they think about it. however, i think that, while there is a path and we need to get aggressively on the path where the city takes full responsibility of the schools, we also need to look at how can we partner with the s.r.c. while they're still in place? and i think the city needs to say, "these are the things that we can do." there are a lot of things that we

you are not going through city after city after city. you are not hitting the slowdown point as often. in reality, it takes you however long to drive. professor schwieterman: there is a time difference. it is quite competitive. >> with the twin cities, i looked a lot at universities and how many students there are. because the university of minnesota is so large, it has such a big population, it is important that i added wisconsin on the route as well given all of the travel, especially for college students going for interviews or being able to travel between cities is important. a lot of college students don't have cars. >> that is a factor we talked about last week. madison, that is why it is outsized in interest. there is a rail friendly demographic. that has me the demise of the high-speed rail controversial. great comments. let's look at why this creates a difficult public process. we take these routes and show which cases agencies have an effect prevented a route from being lost or abandoned as railroads cut back. we take the map an

does well, the city takes care of it's own. we are so pleased to be here in the city of san francisco. i would like to thank those who are here, commissioner mendoza mcdonald and joy lins. ladies and gentlemen, what's important about san francisco is the talent that we need to be a world class city, not just the in california, but in the world, the global economy exist right now in classrooms across the city in san francisco. they are the boys and girls in kindergarten through classrooms that want to live in san francisco and want to raise their families in san francisco and want to be part of the infrastructure and part of the talent people in san francisco. the announcement that the mayor said today is to invest in the rainy day fund. it's critical for us because those minds are nurtured with dedicated commitment in the classroom. the rainy day fund has allowed us in the times to keep the educators and staff in schools. this is important in a plan in a fiscally responsible way when that time comes and we have methods to interact the

we looked at cities as configured in space and are presented by the population. population of city one being large. the relation of two and three being somewhat smaller -- population of two and three being somewhat smaller. it we view this as the model of gravitational force, which is in our statistical framework we have to define how this model is going to work to predict how much traffic will go between these two cities. we could see right away more traffic is likely to move between p1 and p2 than p1 and p3 because it is farther. the difference between p1 and p2 travel will depend on what kind of assumptions we make. different effects depending on how we calibrate the model. >> there are sent as political or geographical barriers. may be bodies of water could relive it. >> -- could prohibit. >> that's right. other factors come into play. the difference between p1 traffic and p3 traffic depends on what we assigned to the value of k. what k represents and how we can think about in this context. >> the rate of k. how will you are to travel distances. if we assume p

cities? >> sure >> some of these are very, very different in terms of population size and economic conditions as well. >> sure we have a methodology we use to select pier cities for our studies you can imagine we use different pier studies for the ones that are offered in this case we looked at daytime and resident population we looked at staffing levels we didn't want anybody too low or low and we looked at crime levels we tried to get piers in a number range from us we also add more california cities san jose and oakland not in that immediate range compared to local piers and in chicago that doesn't normally in the range but we were curious to compare against chicago. >> it's curious one of the pier cities is boston if i can think of one of the cities that would be about the same size and density and even diversity economically of san francisco boston would be one of them. and they're like lower down on the list you will see on the chart you shared with us they're kind of slightly to the right of san francisco >> correct >> also on page six slide they're down toward the bottom in total crim

this will enable the fire department to improve and as the city grows we are able to meet the challenges with the growing city and population. i want to on behalf of the fire commission really thank the mayor and president breed for support and for recognizing the value that the fire department has in the city. thank you very much. i would like to introduce our leader chief joy and his wife.

that i and my administration and board of supervisors are willing to take up this is ending family homelessness with a strong partnership between the city and community and philanthropy i know we can rise to the change of ending homelessness speaking of families let's remember that seniors are an important part of our growing city we need to make sure we're serving this growing population my budget includes $7.4 million of new investments to have the meals wait list to make sure that people live in their homes longer and expand the senior programs those represent a down payment on the true need that is why i've asked my staff to work together with the plants of the dignity fund a fund that is a program that is modeled after our very successful transportation task force that lets us wish tote to develop a road map. the needs in the community and the recommendations for sustainable funding and at the same time, we must invest in our youth and the future so thanks to the leadership of the board of education and superintendent carranza we continue to be one of the top of urban schools in california and by many measures in the nation we have

that are baby boomers were aging gracefully many of us, some with severe needs, and our city is really doing our best to address that. but i fear that we are not planning for the huge boom as -- national domestic the elder boom, wherein san francisco will see our population grow from one in five seniors to one in three by 2040, 2050. it is one of those things where i see the budget having about a quarter of the resources for dos which i think is really great, but i fear not planning for the boom that is before us. i want to say that some of those senior activists are working with a number of supervisors on a potential dignity funds. as national domestic workers alliance calls it, as we age we need to age with dignity. that means caring not just for housing and shelter but it is also congregate or social interaction and also dancing to get things working, but it is also housing as rebuild the city, build build build, there needs to be much more senior affordable housing as well. i want to say on the food security issues they raise for my things really great the home delivered

we are making great progress to keep our city and our residents safe. this is at a time when we are experience ag strong growth in our neighborhoods. as you know we recently opened or public safety building in mission bay and that includes a dedicated campus to or police department and headquarters and brand new fire station which i'm very proud of because it's showing some of the state of the art facilities that hopefully the few station have including the cleaning apparatus. we hear how firefighters are impacted in their lives that those toxic agreed audience -- ingredients are not washed off quickly. working with the fire department staff we announced additional fire staff to the fire department that will be replacing more than 40% of our ambulance fleet and working to reduce the 911 systems and demands and we made those announcements with so very dedicated work that the group put together. we put together a time line we would use to invest in a new facility to employ the statute and keef our residents safe. we are all doing this with an eye towards t

in the city we are very prosprss and see creating everywhere and grouth in the city and we haven't had the opportunity to keep up with the growth if cliled care and i think it is opportunity be tibel collect additional fees to help support child care development which is needed. it pshzs the city for opportunity for leveraging growth at the state and federal lechbl where there haveinate been facilities we lost on those opportunity y. think with the improving economy we'll see more of those opportunity. i think there is also the issue of the fact we do have 9 million dollars of requests on the current pipeline because there were not resources available some projects will not happen or be deferred and if there were resources we would be aivl to move some of the projects forward. thank you >> thank you any other public comment? seeing none public comment is closed. i want to say that the purpose of this hearing is to allow for the public and developers to-if they had concerns about the next study and i want to say that in order to expand the child care facilities funds to match up with th

city. accessible to mobile transportation. >> you are downtown as well? >> yeah. jackson and michigan. >> good real estate. when we look at how this process has dramatically affected our city let's start in 1870. this is kind of when people say the major railroads began. anyone remember what states this occurred in? that's right. utah. we had the beginning of an era. you see how skeletal the system was in 1870. flashforward just a couple of decades. we move ahead to 1905. you see it is a dramatically different picture. we are in the heartland. you might as well take the black blotch and put it in the middle because the density was so thick, every few miles, you had a railroad line. you look at this, and you see that there is a lot left to come. if you look south to florida there is nothing there yet. the florida development has yet to occur. las vegas did not even exist at the time. we will see in 1905, all cities could almost be defined by their position of the railroad system. some cities thrived because they were by the railroads. some died because they were by

the city does not have the resources to take all the enforcement efforts that are needed. creating a strong private right of action can be thought of as a type of enforcement sharing where the city cannot take on the platforms in particularly egregious cases, we don't want to restrict the ability of people in our neighborhoods, regular piepl, from taking those on. and civil penalties are important so that it's not only wealthy people but working class people, middle income people, who can take bad actors to court. no. 5, notifying nraib neighbors in a building when an application is completed. my law extends this notification to other permanent residents in the building. i believe neighbors have a right to know that there will be a short term rental happening in that building. and then, no. 6, limiting all short term rentals to 60 days per year. a 60 day limit would allow casual hosts to continue to air b and b their homes over the summer, on vacation or when they need to supplement their income but it would limit those rentals so that we address the issue of the proliferat

i mean the four of us represent cities that are in the big gap of b.a.r.t. and will probably never get it. san jose certainly had the extension where they could do it and the cities in between were willing to support that. shafer: let me ask another ramification -- about another ramification of these buses. and the nature of these huge campuses. because what i hear is that they're sort of self-contained. they have food, they have laundry, they have massages, they have transportation in and transportation out. people don't even have a car to go, say into mountain view and have lunch. how do you feel about that? mcalister: well, i know for mountain view, with google -- google set their mode where they want a collaboration, so they want to keep everybody on campus. well, now all the other side companies are having to do the same thing to attract talent. if you don't serve a meal, you're at a disadvantage to try to get in talent, and talent is really hard to get right now because they're all jumping around. and therefore, with them keeping them on site any retail
