i think that is a stain on these cities record -- city from. but instead of being stuck in , we think history should be our foundation to build from. chapter inng a new rich when's history now and that is being a welcoming, inclusive city that is tolerant of all cultures and, you know, all walks of life. we are headed down monument avenue, one of the most iconic streets in america, i think. one of the first monuments you are going to see here i think was created around 1996, 1997, towards arthur ashe, the international tennis star who was born here in the city of richmond. right now this is the only monument or statue to an african-american on monument avenue. beyond that you will see statues to those who served in the civil war. so you have arthur ashe. you've got jeb stuart, stonewall jackson, robert e. lee. there has been maybe a little controversy about the statues here. what is the feeling of about the history? mayor stoney: i think people recognize this as part of our history. a terrible history it may be, but it is part of our history. w

they reduce this to a tale of two cities and they are not part of the city. the major task for the policymakers to ensure many more can move up in the future. thank you very much. [applause] thank you so much, you mentioned policing as a condition for the transformation. it certainly wasn't planned. however, there've been more planning going into as city officials and developers began to realize. one thing the city did in the '90s is to give money. it took a while but by the late '90s they were false debate before and they were full again because of this grassroots thing happening in williamsburg. this is true for all of new york city and in fact for cities across the country that are similarly crowded is that the zoning makes it possible to expand and create more opportunities for people. there are a lot of people that would like to come to new york. it's helping the prices as high as they are. i wonder when you talk about the zoning and the other stuff but it's holding back. how much does that harp on the city holding them back because this location would h

and there have been times where i've been willing to allow the city who shows up to engage, but the city never been proactive in providing resources and chances for individuals on the ground fighting to improve the quality of life here. >> what does it mean when you say you feel like you're on your own. when you're talking about something like violence, for instance, how does that operationalize. what does that mean on the ground where you feel like we have to take care of this or no one will. >> it's in every facet of our life. the mayor's office is completely shut out to individuals who are critical of what his administration has and has not don done and anybody who isn't going to get going to. people who don't do the mayor's bidding, that i become block from accessing -- we don't want to engage him, we want the resources to improve the quality of life but they are unaccessible. and they've mastered their talking points. >> i want to talk about policing and the police. i want to start with something the mayor said about a theory he had about why policing has gotten more difficult. can

what attracts people to your city. i think one of the most attractive -- not only do we have great historic features and also have a great river that runs through the city as well. the history is what keeps people coming back and coming back and coming back. history brings you here initially and then they can also par take in our restaurants, the great museums we have. they can see so many things. >> whatter we coming up on? i see their -- >> this is the view, william byrd, the settlers here and came up and saw the bend around the river right here and say it reminded them of richmond hill, the river thames near london, and that's howl we got the name. this is a view of downtown and a beautiful view of the downfinancial district, as people know this is the capital of virginia as will so not only do we have a great financial district, we also have the government buildings down there, where the seat of government is in virginia. a great city, too. >> i'm seeing a lot of industrial buildings. the lucky strike tower. was th

it's the city of richmond. richmond on the map.this was the epicenter of the 2008 presidential election as well of president obama. that helped put us on the map. president obama won virginia for the first time in 40, 44 years spent a democrat. >> that's right. >> do you think that is changed as far as the government? virginia also went blue in the most recent election. >> that's right. richmond is a part of all that because we play a significant role in the electoral future of the commonwealth of virginia. not only do you have votes in northern virginia, you also a thriving, growing region as well. we are still growing and i think vcu is a driver of that and i think young people in general moving here. >> how do molinos respond to richmond history? >> you know what, i think the folks -- mobiles -- the folks who are moving to the city, just what i did about 13 years ago, you are surrounded by history basically every single day. but history also means that some history where here are not proud of. confederate history that kind of, y

he created the city of columbia between those two cities.ecause he was afraid that the current housing represented where people were living and were sprawling from the cities. that these dots would essentially swallow columbia and everything between baltimore and washington would be an un-sprawling, unplanned mess. so he took this opportunity to buy 14,000 acres of land, which was rural, from farmers. and he decides that he will section off this place to create a new kind of suburbs. withhat explicitly deals the limitations and problems of suburbs. and he secretly buys all of this land and eventually, he comes to the public with creating this new city. and a lot of people were happy to hear that because there were rumors spread that someone was flying all of this land to create a garbage dump for all of baltimore and washington's trash. so people thought this was a better idea. his idea was to create a new city from scratch. and the symbol of this new city is this tree. a people tree. and he has a corny phrase that he wanted to create "a gar

if the city will remain a vibrant and growing city, it will have to build up.have to take care of the people that built this city and that is what this project is all about. thank you. >> thank you for your comment. next speaker, please. >> my name is fran taylor and i'm a low income senior quhoo is about to bring doom and destruction to shot well. i'm also the cochair of [inaudible] community organization that worked for 10 years to change cesar chavez street from what was a freeway on the ground to much safer calmer neighborly street and don't remember the neighbors contributing to that effort but this is the time of develop that will enhance the imprubments we have already achieved on cesar chauvs street. it is dense and serves a population as the project sponsor said is must luss likely to own and use vehicles. the other study i mention shows people who drive expensive cars are much more likely to inconicide erant to pedestrians so when you deal with a low income population you bring safety and calm ness to the pedestrian environment and this is very import

the place isn't even a city, it's a borough, it has 2,600,000 people in a city of 8 million, and a country of 330 million. what is the big deal? but i try to show in book is the reason we should be interested is that brooklyn is a microcosm for the vast economic and social changes that' are in our politics and should be mentioned the politics of western europe. over the past 30 or 40 years, advanced economies like that of the united states have been shifting away from manufacturing or, to pit crudely, making stuff, towards knowledge, information, or, again to be crude, thinking about stuff. new york city was already becoming the u.s. capital of the economy by the 1960s as corporations centralized and moved their headquarters to downtown and mid-town. bit the end of the '60s, 59% of the new york city labor force was in white collar occupations. this gave new york a real competitive advantage over other fading and industrial cities. most of their people who were white collar, they were predominantly men, who were working downtown, took the 5:15 train to new rochelle just like rob petrie, bla

as a some women chiu has quoted, it is held in other cities did in fact 142 other cities have automated speed enforcement and it is working to reduce collisions, particularly, pedestrians by very serious percentages. i've-we need to have those percentages down to zero in san francisco. so we are going to commit to supporting this. we will work with other colleagues brought the state. we will have that dialogue, that is difficult in the face of opposition but again, it is always going to be hard to do the right thing for the right reason and having automated speed enforcement is the right thing to do especially with the speeds that we are experiencing good so thank you to everybody for continuing to work hard on this and to also continue to make that toolbox as large as it is because that's how we are going to eventually get to vision zero. thank you. >>[applause] >> thank you mayor lee for your leadership. i'm honored to introduce our next speaker in the following way. i'm going to out him very briefly. about 20 years ago he was a former resident of san francisco and he bike and walk in

court in new york city. that is what we are asking for here in san francisco. and the immigration court is in san francisco, and jeff went through some of the history you know, the folks who were brought in in the 1940s and, between, 1900s to the 40s. everybody was actually detained here in san francisco. everyone who was taken initially in the angel island and then at 630, street in san francisco, in the financial district, and. >> so yes, there are three non-profit organizations that are pro-he vieding representation to detained immigrants and all three of us are very strongly support the public defender's office taking on this effort. thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to ask you a question, which are are with you. >> pangea legal services. >> you are doing the representation in the courts. what happens, let me ask you this, if the feds were to request people's personal information, is the city government more liable because they must be compelled to turnover this information? as opposed to working with a

this is your city .here are 45 thousand tnc operating here and they are clogging your streets and destroying your infrastructure and the only thing they give back is foul air. it is so unfair for mayor lee and the mta to continue charging medallion renewal fees at the same time he promote jz facilitates competition. i urge you to wave all medallion fees to holdser jz urge you to tell mayor lee the only way for the san francisco taxi industry to sur vive is limit the numbers. the city must work with the mta. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker please. >> adam [inaudible] followed by carl [inaudible] those are the last two speakers. >> hello. i'm here to talk about the sfmta 4th speak project between 4th and zoe. wealth street was close td. hearing everyone speak about vision zero you sound hypocritical because the last 2 weeks the sfmta refused to enforce no parking and inaction made a one way street two way. there has been no mandate for having a flag man there to direct traffic while two way traffic g

.) >> good afternoon, everyone welcome to to city hall so i want to thank everyone for being here on this lovely valentine's day and we really have an important message we want to share with everyone and that is that on the valentine's day we want to make sure that everyone feels loved and included here in san francisco and by that we need to make sure we provide housing for everyone that want to live and work here for generations to come. >> (clapping.) >> so today, we're joined by people my colleague ahsha safai will acknowledge but bring up our mayor of the city that has been working to make sure our housing policies enable future generations to live in san francisco with that, mayor ed lee. >> thank you. >> (clapping.) >> katie and supervisor safai joining on that valentine's day rally for housing yeah. got a lot of love in the house and a lot of the labor leaders they're showing their love they love building they love living in the city, too, we have all the residents who is to us we need more restrictive housing for everyone and so this is a time to make bold announcements with

and if we are okay with our city polarizing and okay with our city becoming the city of the wealthy and the city of the extremely poor, then we should leave things the same, but i stand in front of you today to say, we have a tupe opportunity to make a bold move and shift and spread around affordable housing to serve working people. that way we can begin to address some of the economic extremes that we have in our city. so, we are proposing on any new private development and we think the prescribet market is where we can begin to tackle and intervening and tackle building housing for working people. 18 percent of that housing should bow set aside and that would range from family of 3 beginning at $43 thousand and go up to a family of 3 at $126 thousand. these are our working families and if we children and namlies to remain in san francisco we have to do this. now, in 2002, we didn't have a affordal housing bond. in 2002 when we created this inclusionary housing just for low income affordable, we didn't have a affordable housing trust. the mayor just announced the other day with support

that we have and hold dear as city agencies a number of measures support other city policies but the way for instance, points more affordable housing points more affordable housing onsite not because of affordable housing policies they're allocated and others as well so we've tried to stay focused on the primary goal of the program reducing the driving and doing so i think been helpful not only to provide the signals of how effective different measures are but also we've had a number of different interests come to us and want more points for their measures or their measures in the memo there is not data to support so staying true to the concept of demonstrated our best practices and reducing the vehicle miles traveled helped us to make that program. >> supervisor cohen any other comments. >> supervisor yee. >> supervisor cohen thank you for your suggestion i think rather than holed up everything i know that people have been working diligently on that and i appreciate there are measures that give credit for family-friendly housing pieces in here. >> childcare. >> and give that - i'd l
