the demand for accommodation is rising as job growth in the city continues. to market of hidden fire we're going to have to reflect on our expectations and requirements. how can we create high quality small apartments. and how small a small. this doesn't mean doing without generous bases we just have to minimize a little and get a little cleverer in design. unadorned for some standard windows the same layouts on each floor simplicity is key that something that our house taught us well. but the comfort of those who live there also plays a central role in designing a groove that lights and laid out well. for the challenges that space is limited and things are getting more expensive including browns. so we have to respond by using this space still available to us for affordable housing . is indeed a tall order a major challenge for housing authorities urban planners and architects buildings that are cheap and actually nice to live in. so every year some forty thousand people move here to the german capital of berlin and up with pressure on the job and real estat

city as a credible concept tell us about the the thinking in the origins of this united nations city so the u.n. has been in copenhagen since one nine hundred fifty seven when the world health organization came to copenhagen. and we've seen several agencies move to copenhagen over time so when that the idea for this building was first conceived which was back in two thousand and two we had six u.n. agencies in copenhagen but six agencies working from three different addresses so you had to w.h.o. in one spot one location with the original headquarters for your you had a unicef warehouse on this plot of land and then you had the u.n. house with an additional four u.n. agencies. and it goes without saying that that's not very cost efficient so there are a lot of savings that we could reap if we were to bring everybody under one roof because there's more than just a concept of a convenient prop up to the an ethos behind the sharing as well as well there is back in two thousand and five there was a process of reform within the un were a concept was developed you don't know that the un is

we are to cities, but we are one region. as we are seeing our economy begin to grow, we face real challenges. we have not built enough housing, and we know, even though there was just talk of san francisco doing really well, i have seen to be too many of the people that i actually grew up in san francisco leave our city, and even leave the bay area because they couldn't find affordable housing. housing that is actually affordable to their income. there are no easy fixes. and i know staff share my commitment to building more housing. we both believe in solutions, whether it is our work with the housing plan, that i know the mayor talks about a little bit more detail later, are partnering with state representatives and our new governor. housing can no longer be a city by city issue. we have to work, we have to work together, large cities or small, or the bay area will not be affordable for workers and family. our cities will never solve this crisis alone, that we can do better. since taking office, this has been my focus. to get

here is the section of the hillside that fell away in a mudslide......which closed westbound lane as city crews cleaned up the mess left behind. the city had to bring our a bulldozer to scoop up the mud that fell into the street..........and the mud that was continuing to slide because of saturation. and load it into dump trucks. all the while running one way traffic control to move traffic. in the mission a 50 foot tree that came crashing down on to the northbound lanes of dolores street around 10am...and on top of a vw jetta parked next to it. a second car was also damaged. it appears this was partly due to the gusty winds....but also the condition of the tree itself which was suffereing from rot. i talked to owner of the car that was crushed. it's horrible and it's going to cost alot of money looking around it it's clear the city knew the tree was rotting and coming up i'm just glad no one was injured, i could have been in the car, someone else could have been in the car....someone could have been walking bythere were markings around the sidewalk where the tree came up.a spokesperson f

a city landmark. and as it's said before, the school district is a state agency, so really, they can do -- they don't need to follow the san francisco building codes or follow the landmark status, so it's just an honor of a recognition. and i think would be a great honor to -- for his tribute to make this a city landmark. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you, mr. rothman. and as the previous speaker said, there is actually a benefit to the school district which is this designation can actually allow the sfusd to avail themselves of the state historic building code instead of the uniform building code of the state of california. both of these case reports -- and colleagues, i don't know if you've read them carefully because there's a lot of pages in them -- were prepared by christopher verplank and donna graves. and mr. verplank is here. i have to tell you, i enjoyed reading both of these case reports this weekend. mr. verplank, the floor is yours. >> greetings, supervisors. my name is christopher verplank.

s.f., healthcare academy, and hospitality initiatives, all of which train people to work in our city, and asho at 14 proudly worked at a nonprofit , answering phones and helping young family is, and doing paperwork, i am particularly proud to have launched opportunities for all so that we can get every high school students -- [applause] scene -- >> so we can get every high school student in san francisco a paid internship, because unlike the president in this town we pay people when they go to work. [laughter] [applause] >> this program will help our kids now to earn money, to learn new skills, to keep them from going down the wrong path. these young people will be exposed to opportunities they never knew existed. they could see a future in an industry they never had access to. they could see themselves making a difference in a world in a way that they never thought possible . they will flourish, and we will grow our workforce right here in san francisco. [applause] >> will continue to lead the way on so many other important issues. we will protect the environment, and fight climate change.

but what are we asking from uber and lyft as a city that they step up and pitch in? is there an official meeting as a city where we step up and share how we're accommodating them? >> chair peskin: maybe that's one for our staff. mis-chang. >> -- ms. chang. >> thank you, commissioner ronen. you've been raising that for some time. there was a three-part agreement between lyft, the m.t.a. and the community about what was going to be a sustainable solution. i'm hearing there's a bit more work, but i'm offering our staff to help craft those solutions. it also triggers the conversation about not just the passenger needs, also the goods movement needs, and it's a bigger topic than just this corridor. we see situations in commissioner haney's district. we have a different situation in the avenues. i think the companies -- i'm hearing the talk, but i'm not necessarily seeing the action. and i would suggest we setup a working group with m.t.a., your office, and any other supervisor's offices to hash out a couple of these situations and figure out how the pilots or the programs

the city refers to this as a team but i can tell you it is an army of people. two to four police officers, 10 trucks and several tow trucks, dhs, a team. this is like 15 to 20 city officials that come and knock on your door and publicly make a spectacle of you and bullies you unless you're left standing on the sidewalk in utter despair watching them seize your property with no power to stop them. this is about humiliating and punishing people without resources. at the height of city sanction tore -- torment we're offered unsustainable solutions. don't do this. >> commissioner: next speaker, please. >> martha bridgeham. i hope you'll think of this more than one proposal in the sequence and glad to see ms. eaken. i used to work with a department and interviewed you and enjoyed working with your quality of intellectual approach to urban planning. i've been doing volunteering with the coalition against homelessness and i want to ask you to please delay voting in favor of this incremental further restriction. i'm concerned the restrictions are being treated piecemeal

the city was hoping to resolve them short of trial. they had not yet as a matter of fact, the trial is scheduled to start today. ithey may yet come to a resolution. as of today, they are going to trial. i checked in with the attorney from the city attorney's office who was representing the city. her name is elaine o'neil. she gave me a brief description of what the current claim was about. it's really a pass or subcontractor claim through webcor to the city. the city had moved for summary judgment, dismissing it, feel that the judge would not award that summary judgment. the trial started. there's yet the possibility that the claim will settle short of continuing with the trial. that is to be seen. do i have that right joe? >> you're right. >> they're up to date. i'll continue to stay in touch with elaine o'neil and if there are updates i will report them next meeting or subsequent meetings. >> now i want to ask chief rivera and any other client departments here -- do you feel in the program is meeting your expectations and what youen the expectations of

cities un hops if you will geneva is a big city has facilities but it's running out of space as well so they did live there some agencies have relocated staff through other cities copenhagen being just one of them would have more coming through into u.n. city the smaller behind a lot of daily schoolchildren i suppose huffing these agencies united nations agencies here the new and city opens up a new perspective to the young people of the people coming to visit and seeing wolf in their own capital city international organizations hard at work and trying to better the lives of people across the planet well it's yeah indeed this is like a micro version of the world we have one hundred eight different nationalities working here in this building alone we work within the framework that is this is a noble development goals and when we bring in the school children obviously we're trying to teach them about the world that is going to be theirs tomorrow so so they anyone need to know exactly what are the challenges what are the solutions and what is the agenda twenty to twenty thirty eight and

city which employs some two thousand people eleven united nations agencies and the danish capital as find out what they're doing. and then the heart of the u.n. city and i'm going to said this marvelous staircase to speak to fleming you hansen the deputy director the communications who's going to tell me the the whys and wherefores of united nations city. fleming. dept writes of communications see the u.n. city is a credible concept tell us about the the thinking in the origins of this united nations city so the un has been in copenhagen since one nine hundred fifty seven when the world health organization came to copenhagen. and we've seen several agencies move to copenhagen over time so when the the idea for this building was first conceived which was back in two thousand and two we had six human agencies in copenhagen but six agencies working from three different addresses so you had to w.h.o. in one spot one location with a regional headquarters for your you had a unicef warehouse on this plot of land and then you have the u.n. house with an additional four u.n. agencies and it go

of elevating walking and biking as goals as the climate resilience goals of the city of san francisco. so as a city, we cannot be fully committed to achieving climate change goals if we don't make walking and biking safe and convenient for everyone. to wrap up, i've been active in richmond district campaigns to make streets safer, including arguello, masonic, and 8th ave. bikeways, i will continue to advocate for them while on the b.a.c. for these reasons and more, i look forward to serving on the bicycle advisory committee for district one. thank you. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. >> do you have any questions? thank you so much. >> chair ronen: great. thank you. >> thank you. >> chair ronen: mr. hill? >> good morning, chair. i'm going to be very brief because i think you've probably read your application already, and i kind of know i've been around for a long time with it. i will mention something that i overlooked. i am a childhood immigrant, and i contributed to the homelessness. i'll just take one moment and say that i wanted to, for the next four-year period, i am interested

created laws to welcome criminals and support illegal activities to raise our public dollars, such as sanctuary city and sanctuary state. we are no longer a people government. i was one of the eight candidates to run for mayor for the june 5, 2018 election. i went through the election process, and i found many holes

but we as a city -- you know, you can approach this as a couple of ways. you can approach this by being fearful or we can overcome it and point out the positives by participating. and that's really going to be what our approach is going to be. but just as c.a.a. did an excellent job in the citizen voter outreach, i think because they didn't get funding enough, they might have caught some of the families before the school semester ended, that this time around, we hope we're early enough, and we will figure out how to allay those fears. i remember in the 2010 census, we have a lot of landlords in chinatown that have a lot of students in their apartment buildings, multiple families, multiple households who were fearful to report. i said you don't have to be. go ahead and participate. they had a huge outreach fair in the community and self-help with the elderly, was able to get the highest response rate in the city. so we know we can overcome those fears, but it's not going to be a challenge. and i'm not going to lie, i don't know what this unpredictable feder

as taxis. this has led to horrendous problems for all of san francisco. why a cop is needed, unlike the dysfunctional new york city up placed on vehicle numbers, our solution is a real limit to be placed on uber as its current number of vehicles. and drivers. we are adding drivers. no more vehicles or drivers to be added, thereby preventing uber from getting around the restrictions as they have done so effectively in new york city. according to a new york city taxi news report, new york city will onboard more uber vehicles during the period than it had a prior without the limits. a limit will help reduce traffic congestion, reduce accidents, decrease over exhausted drivers working more, and making less. it will reduce the carbon footprint that helps the environment, reduce driver oversaturation, makes it possible to earn a living wage, reduces unfair deactivation of drivers as they will not be easily replaced, reduce the impact of unfair competitive practices giving sfmta taxi and other public transportation a chance to survive. san francisco needs a real limit on uber. this unrestricted growth enables business mo

here is the section of the hillside that fell away in a mudslide......which closed westbound lane as city crews cleaned up the mess left behind.let's take a look video of that work. this all happened around two oclock.....the city had to bring our a bulldozer to scoop up the mud that fell into the street..........and the other mud that was continuing to and load it into dump trucks. all the while running one way traffic control to move traffic. (take vo #2)now let's roll some video of another trouble spot. here's a 50 foot tree that came crashing down on to the northbound lanes of dolores....and on top of a vw jetta parked next to it. a second car was also damaged. it appears this was partly due to the gusty winds....but also the condition of the tree itself which was suffereing from rot. i talked to the owner who had been sitting in a nearby cafe when he heard the commotion and came out to find his car crushed. 'im glad no one was injured, that's all i can think about right now is that i'm glad no one was injured but it's not an idea situation."there were situation."not an idea injured b

city is it is vaporizer only. it doesn't get entire smell but reduces that. as an event organizer in the state working with the city i wanted to come up and suggest i'm for this. i want to be able to work with the city as well as the commission to do what we can to make this responsible and do it respectfully and engage the small businesses to help them. again my name's fernando alvarez the ceo and founder of pretend logics. >> commissioner: any other members of the public, come on up. >> hello, everyone. i'm perry jones the founder and ceo of joe r.s. a third generational resident in san francisco and equity applicant with the office of cannabis. first of all, i'd like to thank eugene for all the hard work you do with the office and for all of you guys for having such an open mind and allowing us to be here today. in a nutshell it would be a great opportunity to pioneer and thanks to the office of cannabis i graduated yesterday with honors and valedictorian and i had my eyes opened up to the industry with the history of it and benefits for veterans and those wh

the city i saw as a child is not the same city i see now. the city that housed and protected my whole family. i've seen my tias and tios get forced out of their houses. i've seen community businesses that have been around forever get shutdown. i've seen our beloved trees fall just for generic condos to be built. every week, new monsters loom over our heads. the frisco i saw as a child walking through the mission is not the same. yuppies enter this town like it's theirs, making their patches grow into monsters, expensive monsters. only thing they do is shadow our schools, make us wait for grandmother's son, make our neighbors have to pack up and leave. now it's our turn, our turn to take back the family businesses, our turn to make the mission fluorish with art. >> president melgar: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is allison. i'm standing here with the others today to say no to the monster and yes to the marvel. the city's priority must be on providing 100% affordable housing to actual low and no-income san franciscans. the

as wednesday. rob roth has more on how the city is decide to walk out. >> reporter: oakland public school classroomsould soon be empty. teachers could go on strike as soon as next wednesday. the oakland education association representing almost 3000 teachers, counselors, and nurses notified the media friday would make a major announcement saturday regarding a possible strike. friday, the union and oakland unified school district received a report from a three-member fact-finding panel taking into the school district's finances. teachers say they would not strike until after seeing that report. toddy the fact-finding report will prevent us or provoke us to go out. it is all in the district's hand in terms of counterproposal. after that, no matter what the fact-finding report says, it would be really hard for us to not move forward with a work action. >> reporter: oakland superintended kyla johnson- trammell issued a video statement friday indicating the report could be helpful. >> and overall, we are pleased with the recommendation and find it to be a flawless foundation for returning to the bargaini

as well. it was also an externally segregated city, as it remains today, but certainly in those times.teve: how did he view african americans? elizabeth: it was interesting because african americans were important political constituents for him. they voted for him. as a significant portion of the population, he had to court their vote. at the same time, they were marginalized in the larger political structure and even in the democratic party apparatus. as a northern democrat, mayor daley with at least verbally supportive of civil rights organizing that was happening in the south to get rid of legal segregation. but when it came to conditions in chicago, he said there were less problems. steve: put this time into context. you had the little rock nine in 1957. you had the civil rights movement brewing. what was happening? what was it like in the country and in the city? elizabeth: it was a very turbulent time. civil rights activism have been growing, particularly around school issues, with little rock in 1957 but also other attempts to desegregate schools in the south. but in chicago, th

before and again for the benefit of those who haven't heard it, if we're going solve this problem as city, lift the ban everyone. let everybody suffer the issue and everybody see the issue, let everybody play in the democracy that will solve this issue. if we are not going to do that it's not fair to hold one neighborhood hostage as the guinea pig or the test case until the city solved an issue that extremely smart compassionate people have been trying to solve. please, no applause especially not for me. those are the rules. this community has come to us the same way others have come to us, you and others have handled this very compassionately. i continue to be impressed the way this is going. it's pursuant to the plan. i don't say this because i'm convinced that i am right. if our vice chair were here and she's not do to family crisis she'd give the other side of the story which is engaging neighbors and politically sensitive people is the only way to get the momentum we need to solve the problem. that's an entirely rationale view. i just don't share it. we've come this far and unless yo
