i was born in the city, raised in the city and i was highly educated in the city. i was fortunate enough to be one of the first people not only in my family to go to college, but as well as in my whole neighborhood. it wasn't a lot of people trying to pursue higher education. we were confined in a certain type of mindset within our neighborhood to think that graduating college wasn't something that was possible. so you might -- imagine how i felt when being one of the first people to drop of college went to college. i had no hope. i do not have the happiness i felt right now seeing the niners going to the super bowl and knowing i am a a, -- college graduate. i was in a basement with some creative people cooking up one of the biggest independent films in the world right now, but also , i was at a place where i didn't know where i wanted to go fortunately, enough in my pursuit of a degree and graduating from st. mary's college in california, city college provided a crucial psychological class that st. mary's wanted $10,000 for. i couldn't afford that. i am saying all

if the city controls this can be advantageous when it comes to data protection but most cities lack the technical expertise to process and analyze the data for this reason many cities cooperate with big tech companies they have the capacity and the algorithms needed to work with data masses like google. the alphabet corp it will construct an entire district of toronto with the newest technology of course but the data sovereignty stays with corporations like alphabet which is problematic as they use our data to make money. an entire city state and that's really offers many opportunities so what to do experts argue for so-called data utilities these are publicly financed but independent organizations they manage proses and control access to data anyone interested in developing smart city solutions could use them no matter if city owned business local startup or big company a promising approach i think everyone should be able to profit from data and data utilities personal data is anonymised as a citizen i cannot influence which state of mind is being used. to cold a project by the europea

the city settled with plaintiffs that were suing the city related to the bail schedule. so we eliminated the cash bail system in the city and we had to incur some costs in city departments to implement the provisions of that settlement. >> okay. thank you. i'm wondering about the logistics of how this proposal is going to work. the mayor's budget office is now off the hook so this will be for the b.l.a. or the sponsor. i think that the spring classes at city college have already started or i may be wrong. i'm wondering about the logistics of how this would work. assuming this were to pass the board sometime in february and the money were to get sent to city college, logistically, how is city college supposed to turn these classes on? >> go ahead. >> so thank you, supervisor mandelman. it is my understanding that there is precedence for classes being brought back to life, so to speak, on an emergency basis historically at city college and even having shorter-term classes for more hours during the week, on the weekends. so it is my belief in conversations from staff at the

good for our city, or come back and victimize people and harm our city? so there's a lot that goes into that and it's not just about policing and we have to support those programs that help us to do that. and equity is an issue in policing and we have to be equitable with how we approach our jobs and all of that matters. so it's a lot to look at and very complex but we're up to the test and we're going to continue to push on. >> getting back to auto burglaries. you have talked about prevention. is there more that could be done there, particularly with people from out of town and rent cars and go to places where tourists go. >> there is, and we're questioning -- questioning that and i know that when the mayor was on the board of supervisors they crafted legislation for the rental car companies to make it less obvious by the markings and that on the rental cars. they are big steps in the right direction and we can't control what happens outside of our city and county but we have been working with the rental car companies on safety messaging. you will see th

we were able to expand the city college at a time when city college is cutting classes city-wide.y successfully and are all enrolled or even over-enrolled, including older adults classes, esl, and dual enrollment classes for high school students. as supervisor mandelman referred to, i have been working with the city college leaders including student faculty and trust -- members of the board of trustees on a comprehensive long-term proposal to address the budget challenges that city college has been facing due to inadequate state funding by expanding our education enrichment fund and to provide support to city college. i want to ensure that -- as supervisor peskin mentioned -- many of us were at the rally in the north corridor earlier and supported schools and communities first. we're going to be voting on and passing the resolution here this afternoon, supporting that and that is going to be a game-changer for public education, including community college and public services statewide. i want to ensure that city college is still around as we know it. you know, for things like scho

the city lost 600,000 residents. lost half of its industrial jobs. - - it had to negotiate with creditors and maintain its bond rating which was hard to do with the shrinking population. in 1981, the chicago tribune published a famous five-part series called, city on the brink. one expert testified in this article he said, chicago is not going to disappear. but the trends are against it. another added, according to available evidence and many experts, there's no reason to think things will ever turn around. in brief, this was a tough time for cities all across america. an era where over 30 years, detroit lost 35 percent of its citizens, cleveland 37 percent. more than one third of people were simply moved out. nationwide, the rate of homicide doubles. the rate of assaults either quadruples or quintupled, depending on how you count it. signs of distress were all around. people would take the subway or trying to work at one and see panoramic views of abandoned buildings and empty lots. then they'd come home, turn on th

that was a city of home ownership and now is a city of majority renters.i know the statistics following the financial crisis is that the wealth gap has increased from a factor of four to a factor of six. that's from generational consequences. if you're building wealth in your home. you can use that to send children to college. you can use it to start a business perhaps. if you lose your home and don't have access to that, then that perpetuates itself. >> now we all have bad credit from back then. from, 10 years ago. everything stopped and change. it didn't change for the regular people here. the people that didn't leave detroit. the people that had to hold the values when everyone else left. when the banks didn't want those houses. we are the ones that held the neighborhood. so the speculators and prospectors could come through and choose all the good neighborhoods, the good houses. that's when you heard about the auction and land bank. so i guess you get people from different states, different parts of the country and different costs of living with a can

cities. i think the effort was to get us more in line with comparable cities, but i haven't been able to find information as far as comparables yet but i can continue to look into that. i would also note that many of the cities, world's' cleanest cities don't have any trash cans. tokyo, i think, from what i've seen removed all trash cans in the 1990s when there were threats of terrorist attacks because people take responsibility and take their trash home and don't throw it on the street. >> ok, thank you. >> i mean, my thoughts are, i think, somewhat similar to my colleagues but i want to delve into this. you don't want to say it because it's not your job to say it, but what i heard you say was that if it were up to the department, there would be a trash can at bus stops and schools. and that's because you're not convinced that additional trash cans actually make the streets cleaner. >> right. it's got to be a balance. so they need to be in areas where there is foot traffic, where people mayb

and then the mayor of the city and one to turn it into a small city you have to consider the following. you need to make your city interconnected by adding senses that connect data for instance to cause a street to be able to regulate traffic or to measuring station station throughout the. city is usually a combination of the different urban systems that we have. for the most part that means mobility systems housing system. administrators systems energy systems education systems and so on anything affecting citizens in their everyday lives can be assigned a digital shadow. that simply collecting data is insufficient big data is no end in itself data needs to be prepared and. based on solutions for usage you can be. someone is close. when the air is heavily polluted anything's possible interconnected. to build a small city one must do 3 things connected via collect data and assess this data to find solution for the citizens but how do i benefit from the smart city here. in. the city saves taxes by using resources more efficiently with the help of sensors public space is only irrigated w

even if the city supports the proposed project, the space would be of benefit to the city.ve a project submitted to the city and if the city determined the project is desirable enough, requiring the project to provide at least one unit of housing on site to be eligible for the tua doesn't make sense. the commission's second recommendation was to clarify that retail under the section that describes the types of uses are allowed, should be restated to say retail sales and service. the eligible uses allowed under this site believe that the retail reference was actually supposed to be in reference to retail sales and service. however, there are retail categories of uses in the planning code that would not be desirable to be an active commercial space such as automobile manufacturing, things like that. i'm happy to answer any additional questions and that ends the commission's recommendations. thank you. >> thank you. audrey, can you put that map back up? so, i don't think the map is right. >> okay. let me grab my staff report and i can say out loud the districts. >> supervisor

thank you, deputy city attorney. yes, we are one city. but we have a containment strategy that keeps people that are really suffering in certain neighborhoods in the city. and those neighborhoods are primarily districts 6, 9 and 10. and we have been dealing with it for decades. and you have three supervisors of those three districts and really grateful to supervisor preston for joining in, because there is a major issue in district 5 as well, who have done everything in our power to be solution-oriented, to find money, to find sites, to negotiate deals, to open up navigation centers to say we will be not only the ones to take responsibility for this city-wide crisis, but we will do our work that is not traditional work of the legislature. of the legislator. for example, when i went and found a negotiated deal with and went to the money to pay for the navigation center, that was in district 9. when that closed down, got a site and money to get a replacement one. that is going above and beyond and fulfilling our duty as leaders in the city

we have a long way to go in the city.i am committed to working with you, mayor breed, to make that happen and to everyone in the neighborhood to make sure this navigation center is a success. thank you.

a few facilities here in the city. province group also operates a a few free-standing in the city and generation's healthcare. we have been working with the milemen group to be discussing opportunities. we have been engaging with various potential hospital partners, chinese hospital is the one hospital that currently has vacancy and space that could accommodate to subacute. they have a 23-bed unit that is currently available and could be converted to this use. and right now, we worked with vibra to do a proforma for a cost of operating a unit if those 23 beds were to be converted to subacute. there would be a bit of a shortfall in terms of revenue generation because of the cost reimbursement structure because medicare and medicale, between 350 and 370 a day depending on modeling. chinese hospital is willing to bring a proposal to the board to activate the 23 beds in the subacute, so these good news and it would still need to be reviewed by california department of public health to resolve the kitchen support issues. ri

the future of this city looks brighter than ever. and all of you should know, and if you live here you certainly do, since mayor bowser took office, the city's schools have improved. the city's carbon emissions have shrunk. and the nationals even won the world series. wait, wait. when i was mayor of new york, the record shows the yankees won the world series. and the giants won two super bowls versus the new england patriots. but no new york team has won since i left. a coincidence? just sayin', just sayin'. no, you've got a good mayor. the white house, i hadn't thought about that, we're in washington, yeah, i like that. it's a little bit early to measure the curtains, but that's okay. now, there are two elected executives in washington, the mayor and the president. but only one of them really understands what it means to lead on issues that matter to communities across america. like economic opportunity, sustainability, safe streets, good schools, equal rights, and affordable housing. and that's mayor bowser.

how men and women use the city differently. that sara ortiz and blanca valdivia have been obsessing about for over a decade. their collective, punt 6, has done deep research into how gender affects our experience of the city. and one thing they are particularly obsessed with is toilets. research says that women spend three times as long, on average, in the toilet. and most of the time men can stand up. so in the same space you can fit more men's toilets. in theory, women's bathrooms should be at least three times the size. this is only one of hundreds of ways that men and women experience a city differently. you're sitting at a bus stop waiting to get to work or get home from work and then this happens. and one of the most profound of those differences is how safe we feel, especially at night. conchi braojos works as a cleaner at a hospital on the outskirts of the city. in this area of high—rise apartments, the streets are deathly quiet. it is a 30 minute walk, 20 minutes if she is scared enough. she worked with punt 6 for mont
