but the city can and must do more. recent san francisco history is full of projects like the metrion centre, the chase center and all without parking and all to lead to traffic apocalypse. we got a great civic amenity. this is to accommodate the influx of new residents and the projected increase in ccuf students. new houses on ocean avenue add car, foot and bike traffic. they need to avoid worse gridlock and in keeping with the city's first policy, the first time we heard the words transit tonight. in addition to the cac, i serve as the adviser committee. from that perch, i can see ocean geneva and ocean avenue as high injury corridors and that means there have been enough serious injuries due to the design of the streets that they are due and fundable for complete resign. in short, true transit first regioning of circulation for the neighborhood is needed and has to be implemented. at our september 30th, cac meeting, they will present plan for the ocean avenue safety project. i hope to hear about a safe, beautiful and

i was a student and i fell in love with the city. i still love this city. i always said we have got to do something. whatever i have, i got it through hard work. being in this wonderful diversified city. we talked a lot about it. this came about in 2007 when there was a melt down and i was able to purchase these. that is when me and sammy, she is an advocat of foster and homeless kids. this came about. i said maybe we can do something about it. finally here we are. thernext step is the foundationd get the super structure. i want to thank the wonderful mayor. i am so proud of you. you are a wonderful mayor. you are a great person. i want to tell my brother-in-law who designed this property, my kids and this is all my family. i love them all. it is great to be here. too many persons. (laughter). it is a great thing. i am so blessed. i asked my wife to be by my side. if i make a mistake she will say stage right. i think i have done go, right? she gave me a list and said memorize this. i said i will do this. that is not me, i have to talk how i feel. that is ho

to save the city's mongrel father. the contribution of bondo fishing village missy minuscule today especially to many of us who may have been of bolivia's to the role mongrels have played in protecting a vulnerable city like mumbai but it's time to the initiative of fishing communities like this one at the front line of the ocean swell that the rest of the city men now stand a chance of braving rising sea levels in the years to come. now my is not the only city in the world that has to cope with the impact of rising sea levels sea levels are rising more and more across the planet but why is this happening let's take a look at some facts the primary cause of rising sea levels is climate change as our planet heats up glacis of huge masses of ice melt faster this means that even more water flows into our oceans massive ice sheets in greenland and antarctica are weakening breaking off and melting steady and water expands as it warms about half of the sea level rise of the. last 25 years is a tribute to one word options sim

san francisco is a city with a heart but we also have to be a city with a memory. a memory not only for the commitments we have kept but also the ones we have failed to keep. for too long our public housing communities were one of those failed commitments. we are changing that with our programs where we have rehabilitated over 2500 public housing units. [applause.] and through hope sf, which is revitalizing and france forming communities in hunters view and right here in sunny dale and with the reconstruction of the long overdue transformation of the san francisco housing authority. we are building and rehabbing housing, creating stronger and healthier communities and investing in the people who live there. we owe it to them to keep our commitment and make a difference for this community and those across the city. with every decision we make, i want to make sure that equity and accountability are at the forefront of our minds. we have to be focused on people in all neighborhoods, like the people who live here, who for too long have been living with broken pipes, mo

this did not go over well with the city of kansas city. who was quite content to forget the thing was there until some one else decided to claim it. somebody says we forget it is there until some one else says, hey wait, we wants that. and now, no, no, that is argue for monuments. we kansas that he says no we are not going to do that. the park board says the owner, and the artist specifically chose the site for this must be full sculpture. it would demean this culture to move it to a small little park in a crowded area. it'll westpark. -- in old westport. it needs to stay where it is. westport lost the battle a second time. they had wanted it in the 1920's and again in the 1980's. i responded by finally erecting a more elaborate monument of their own. they put up their own monument to westport related people. they abandoned the pioneer mother and put up a sculpture of three men. who are all much more associated with commerce than family settlement. the men depict here are a first trader and the founder westport founder, john c mccoy. the f

we are are to need affordable housing the city' city's nexus e should charge $193. supervisor haney has a modest proposal, but let's face it, people in the whatever are claiming it is only feasible if we jack it up by 10 bucks. that is not going to cut it, and that is bad public policy. to give you a daunting statistic. a baby born in the year this jobs housing linkage fee was last updated would have already completed college and would be looking for work. if that baby was born in san francisco, they would have a hard time finding housing no matter what. i am glad we are going to basically like with new development and with great power to affect development comes great responsibility. we need the housing. i am also glad that 30% of the funds will be going to new supportive housing. i live in an rfo. i it is on the task force. i don't want people with low income tenants competing with less low-income people for sro housing. we shouldn't be fighting for scraps. i am just like sickened by the idea. if we max out the fee, it is going to stop all office development. well

people in big cities not only need to be able to move around efficiently they have to share the city's public spaces at the hamburg half and city university researchers have developed digital my. goals to analyze behavioral patterns such as where people tend to congregate. first of all we research how public squares work we track people who are out walking their dogs shopping hanging out to see how public places function we collaborate with companies and other research institutes who also have an interest in public places working well and attracting people you know the things go to dog and often. building contractors can see if their projects meet criteria and compare potential sites in terms of advantages and disadvantages proximity to a research institute or an airport for example. in this way advances in digital technology are giving city dwellers new opportunities to enhance the urban experience. and thus reducing the level of stress something we could probably all benefit from the stress can be caused by so many things noisy car engines traffic jams sirens all basically all the th

we're going to do that in part by expanding the number of hummingbird beds in a city, in our city.ay i'm really pleased to announce that thanks to the funding from tipping point, we'll be able to add 15 new hummingbird beds which offer psychiatric respite. that is absolutely amazing and it's really expensive. [ applause ]. >> mayor breed: so with these new beds, we'll be able to connect people experiencing homelessness with behavioural health needs, the care that they need. i'm not sure if any of you have visited the hummingbird facility at s.f. general, but it is absolutely amazing. i had an opportunity to not only touch bases with clients, but we also did an announcement last year expanding the number of beds at that location as well. to hear someone say to me that i'm trying, it's hard, but i'm glad to have help, it makes all the difference in the world. this is an incredible facility and i'm so proud of the work that they do. as dr. nagusablan will get into more details, we know that the vast majority of the 4,000 people we have identified unfortunately have alcohol use disorde

and carson set the blame for the city's housing struggles squarely on the city. >> in san francisco, a single individual can protest and stop an affordable housing development. that's a big one. look at this facility. this is not affordable facility by any stretch of the imagination. but one of the big problems no one wants to talk about is -- not in my backyard. >> reporter: carson says public private partnerships are the answer to housing needs, not more federal money. but he did acknowledge one area where the government might need to do more. >> we need to acknowledge that perhaps the government made mistakes when it abandoned a lot of people who aren't capable of taking care of themselves. >> reporter: outside, protestors were angry they did not get a chance to speak to carson. but a handful of residents did. >> i was looking at the glass is half full and i try to give people the benefit of the doubt. for me, i'm like okay, let me share the positive things that are coming up out of the community and see if he takes it from there. >> reporter: all right. there you have it. if you

while the city attorney believes that this case is without meter, the city has chosen to delay the sale of the first sea wall bond. to bridge the gap until bonds might be sold, the port is proposing to appropriate available harbor fund balance to supports the sea wall program through this 19-20 fiscal year. when bonds are finally sold, the port's $11.5 million contribution will be reimbursed to the harbor fund. as you know, the primary funding source for the sea wall program is the $425 million sea wall bond. without this funding, the port has no sources other than the harbor fund to use to backfill the delayed bond sale. as of this morning, port staff is estimating that at our current rate of expend chure, the sea wall program will exhaust its existing appropriated funding at the end of september or the beginning of october. without either the bond sale or supplemental appropriatation, we'll have to halt work on the program because we will run out of money. we are proposing, with this appropriation, to fund nine months' worth of expenditures. this work will include completion of the mu

the city's built environment. to this end, i'm going to focus on three priorities of the preservation community i hope any candidate will share. first, we urge you to hire a director who will prioritize and expedite completion of the city-wide historic resources survey. this is a tough recommendation made by spur in 2014, in a joint policy paper on historic preservation. while cities los angeles have already completed their survey, we don't know what is significant about the city's historic neighborhoods and built environment. as a component of the city-wide survey, it should identify eligible historic districts for future designation. second, we urge completion of the historic. this has languished for 10 years and will help the commission and the new planning director balance priorities such as the need to increase housing production and other planning goals with the need to protect our historic resources. third, we urge this director to rehire and fill the historic preservation officer position recently vacated

employment in the city is growing. in the bottom right, that is the electricity and energy usage that is decreasing. that trend is moving in the right direction. so the proposal today, building upon all of our energy efficiency work is to require 100% renewable electricity for our large commercial buildings. pretty straightforward. as you can see we have a lot of commercial buildings in the city. it is the largest ones in -- 50,000 square feet up to larger than 500,000 square feet. there is not that many of those buildings. they are responsible for 73% of electricity emissions. that is only 9% of those buildings. that is a total of 156,000 tons of co2 each year. they may not be that many, but those large buildings are our primary emitters. we are going to phase in this ordinance, the requirements for 100 renewable electricity purchase starting in 2022. with the buildings that are 500,000 square feet or higher. we are going to phase in the next category of buildings, 250,000 square feet to 500,000 square feet in 2024. b

of the city. our finding of fact six said, unless the city increases funding levels, it will be several decades, i.e., after the uscs predicts one or more major earthquake will occur, before the southern parts of the city of a high-pressure, multi-sourced emergency firefighting water supply. the mayor's office and various agencies have disagreed with that, saying there haven't been firm funding decisions made, and when you go 10, 20 years out, nobody knows. while that may be true, we took our finding, and it's cited in our report on page 33, footnote 126, but that language came from an emergency firefighting water system management oversight committee presentation of march 4, 2019, where it said on page 32: "build-out would take approximately 35 years using current funding rate, assuming a five-year building cycle." it is clear from the grand jury's report, the civil grand jury feels that 35 years to adequately protect large parts of the city is simply unacceptable and too long. and so we have rec

it's not just about a fee, this is about our city in the future of our city. commissioner koppel, you had mentioned earlier, the importance of protecting residents that already live here , and prioritizing displacement. this legislation will do that. workers in san francisco deserve to live where they work if they want to. they deserve to live in the community whether community is they do not deserve to have to move further from their families, just because they cannot afford, or because they got evicted. they really just deserve to live in the community that they serve if we were to truly meet affordable housing, resulting from the office development. the city's nexis analysis says we would be charging $193. i know you guys already know that. what wasn't mentioned yet, is this analysis does not include the contract workers. like the janitors that are working in these buildings i know it might deem astronomical to say, $300, and i'm not saying we need to go there, but this does exclude a lot of our workers. so, i want to foz re- without saying it is time to re

[ cheering ] >> the chanting was from a separate group of opponents who do not want the navigation center built at all. hundreds of people showed up to the meeting last night holding signs and expressing opposition to the two million-dollar plan to build the center here in the city of fremont, ultimately, the city council voted 7-9 at 11:00 last night to build the gun shelter behind city hall. >> they totally denied our concerns then they

this is a modern city. we are losing creativity, ideas, diversity in the city. i think that is heart breaking. we have to turn this around and build more housing now. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> thank you commission. i am stewart. i have been a resident of san francisco for close to 40 years. almost every day that i am in the city, i drive to the jcc. i go in the front entrance, right across from the front entrance i see this space, and i say to myself, how beautiful it could be if it was developed in a manner that the sponsor has presented its plans. through all of the technica technicalities aside as to whether the trees should go or stay, elevations should go or be lower. i would ask the commission to focus on one very important issue. the homeless issue, which other speakers have talked about, folks, we can't even approve very small navigation centers. navigation centers that provide housing. what is the matter? the commission can approve a project that helps to take away this stint of not being able to at least approve a simple navigation center.

lagos has been dubbed the mega city of slums and my kokoda torrijos for its wanted conditions is one of the city's worst and i visited mccorkle and its people in the floating slum for the 1st time i realized there are degrees of just how bad bad housing could be even here some have a roof over their head others are forced to seek temporary shelter when he trains this family of 6 where the victims from their home during the day they can use a makeshift kitchen to cook their meals that was a year ago since then many more evictions have taken place the authorities in lagos are raising houses to make way for luxury waterfront properties but luxury homes are beyond the reach of most nigerians and then there is growing population with 200000000 people today nigeria's population is expected to double by 2050 what the country lacks is affordable housing and settlements with functioning toilet cleaner water and waste disposal the un criticised this week but terrible housing is just one of the visible symptoms of an even bigger problem facing nigeria the country has the highest rate of extreme

and have, you know, already given so much to the city and our city to get more. that's not an issue at all. and, you know, i can see why the mayor chose to nominate these two candidates. unfortunately the timing of this whole thing was that we got the nomination letter in the middle of our legislative break. and we have been struggling to get back and get caught up from being gone. so i personally haven't had a chance to sit down with either candidate. it does concern me that s.f. heritage, that is an organization that i have great respect for, who works, you know, daily on these issues, has concerns about one of the candidates. i think we take a couple of weeks to vet these and hear the concerns and make, you know, our opinions before we take a vote on this item. this is -- these are really important appointments. and they're highly technical. and not being an architect or a historic preservationist myself, i feel like i need -- i need to do a little bit more studying on these nominations. so i would make a motion to continue this item two weeks to the september

it has been done in other major cities. busses only every 15 minutes and the shared bike lane would be three blocks long. we really ask and urge sfmta to consider this pilot. we cannot have another project that considers transit as an afterthought and impacts be ok. so, i ask you to consider, if any other recent street improvement project has actually made muni worse by design, and i urge you to alter that part of the project. thank you. >> simone, marcell. >> i'm a concerned citizen of san francisco and dedicated biker. i strongly support the 5th street improvement project. it's a sorely, sorely needed project that improves bike infrastructure. finally finally a protected bike lane for "the entire corridor." music to my ears when i hear that. i biked 5th street a few days ago, and dangerous for even an experienced biker. and as director brinkman said we needed them 5 or 10 years ago. if we put them 5 or 10 years ago we would not have the vision 0 problems we are having today. it's not enough. protected bike lanes often sti

no other tree is targeted, by the dozens, city wide in its own way, the city has admitted as much. neighborhood after neighborhood the city has held countless public meetings trying to negotiate plantings, soothing angry neighbors seen their entire neighborhood go from green to tiny saplings overnight. i know the bureau of urban forestry is trying to do the right thing. my point is that this underscores the fact that these large scale removals absolutely are not part of the urban forest plan. the city knows it, and it shows a by this shall treatment they giving this removal project get this is a project is set forth that requires a ceqa evaluation for the city does not get to chop up the project, no pun intended, and little bit to skirt this conclusion. nor does it get to say it is part of the tree removal, when the city has clearly defined its initiative to the contrary. a couple of additional points i would like to make here. the exemption determination says the plan would address funding for the planting of new street trees to address their distribution throughout san francisco.
