the city can also be a city where its access to transit and transit performance is subpar. so this ordinance addresses those directly. what it does is makes sure as big development occurs, hopefully we make our streets and sidewalks, transit access accessibility for seniors, pedestrians, people with disabilities, etc., we make those better and at least don't make them worse. so we think closing the loopholes, some very large projects that we're able to flip through doing no improvements and also exempting some small projects. and small residential projects won't be required. we think that is right-sizing the current right. requirements. we like the emphasis on improved crossings as well. section 155-r, same thing. we piecemeal extended these curb cut restrictions along various streets. this does all streets of a specific type. the most important transit systems and the most important walking and parking streets in the city should be street where is we want to minimize the curb cuts. it protects them in the same way. clearly exempts them on the streets from minimum parking r

it's an ambivalent situation cities are good for us on the one hand but city stress can also be harmful. so let me first introduce you to our viewers you're a professor dr mudd stuff i believe and your psychiatrist you're researching a psychiatrist and and your research topic is about stress which is a city so why does a psychiatrist say well i want to take care of all people in cities and i want to focus on the stress of cities well as a stress research i'm interested in the factors that influence our individual stress vulnerability what makes us more prone to stress related diseases. and this research i fell over the factor of urban a city city living which may absolutely influence our individual stress response of out people who live in the city more sick than people who live say in more rural areas we do find. more mental health and urban dwellers a higher risk for example for schizophrenia. developers have a twofold risk for suffering from schizophrenia from psychosis they have a higher risk for suffering for fall from depression and also from a desire to compact to run dry less an

the city that you love so much.when you look at being the mayor right now, at such an important time in the history of san francisco, where we have so many opportunities but also so many challenges, what is the most important thing to you that when you think about what you do every day, where you spend your time right now, what are you truly focused on? what is the most important thing to you? >> the hon. london breed: the most important thing to me is to take care of san francisco. i wake up every day, thinking about how are we going to make even more progress, how are we going to help people who sadly are part of our most vulnerable communities. i come from that community. i grew up in san francisco in public housing and lived there with my grandmother for over 20 years of my life, and it was a very challenging environment. hopelessness, violence, drugs, despair, and we have people in all parts of san francisco unfortunately still living in very similar conditions. and in fact, you know, people who don't have roof

city we re came afterjust six minutes.—flowing best, as you say, perhaps because of the pitch. but they did create chances. this was a good one for david silva. why didn't he pulled the trigger, is what pep guardiola will be asking. dele alli came on as a sub and set up dele alli came on as a sub and set up erik lamela. he has been on great form this season. but not this time. that was the chance. city hung on after that, an important win for them. let's hear from after that, an important win for them. let's hearfrom both managers, starting with pep guardiola. great victory in the special game today. we made a good game. yes, disappointed, but what can we say? this lack of aggressiveness or lack of individual situations, we need to be more aggressive and be more focused on action. we cannot consider such a cheap goal like we conceded. as for city, it was gritty, not pretty, but it is nights like these that we newly titles. they do indeed. patrick, thanks. mauricio pochettino has been linked with the real madrid job previou

it's an insult to our sanctuary city to even move beyond city with a project where the planning department knowingly, knowingly rejected our request for translation of the notice of preparation at the very start of this project. they didn't give a darn about the people in our community that don't speak english. that is illegal, and we will chlg the cif rights violation. secondly, we are all concerned -- we want real affordable housing, but real affordable housing because we need it for our people most in need, for people who need jobs to build those houses, absolutely. that's not what this is about. secondly, when build l.l.c. came to the task force, they put a picture of about 100 people who would live there. pretty much all white people. lastly, the city's e.i.r., the planning department's project that they supported, admitted, that this project would result in unhealthy, harmful, unavoidable air quality problems that -- [inaudible] >> president cohen: thank you. thank you. again, you know, i want to be respectful of everyone's opportunity to speak, but i -- we're not dealing with the ce

the city of san francisco and other cities have told us, is that the current conservativeship laws in california, are not meeting the meets, particularly of people with severe drug addiction. people who are cycling in and out of the psyche of emergency room and they're backout on the streets unraveling more and more. we need to help get these people into housing, into services, get people stable and healthy and do everything we can to get their lives on track and that is what senate bill 1045 is about. this is not about mass institutionalization. this is about really focusing on relatively limited number of people who are dying on our streets and helping to get them stable and into housing. i want to thank my colleague, assemblyman chiu for supporting this bill. i want to thank the city of san francisco, particularly mayor breed and supervisor mandelman. they have just been champions for this bill. they actually came up to sacramento to testify in committee in favor of the bill. they're that committed to it. and i know that they will work hard to implement it. this is not the end of t

the city has been something of a divided city. a huge amount of investment capital came into san francisco. in creating a rash of evictions. all kinds of thriving things. they were new to the city. an icon of social justice justice. in create this monoliths in the non- tech communities. i interviewed over a hundred 50 people. for eight hours each. and assembled what i think are the most impactful are here for you so that you can see a community have a conversation with itself that isn't pretty easy to have. we all live in our own corners of our own communities. is often very challenging for us. let alone across the city from us. the book is an opportunity for us to crack that open. i think it's a useful metaphor for what's happening in the rest of the u.s. we have seen in have seen in new york these changes occur the liking public institutions. and over seed the private sector is an american challenge to deal with. i think san francisco lets us look at a compressed time where the change is really radical and you can see everyone i

free city changed my attitude. a third student wrote, when i was younger, my impression of school was you did it for a job and a career that you probably have to wear a suit, and it seemed that i didn't fit into that culture. i felt that anything that took away from making money was detouring me from putting food in my mouth. pursuing a degree now in arts related education at city college has been a long-term goal of mine, and one i never thought i could pursue. but now that city college has become free, and i'm able to -- and i'm now able to save money and able to navigate this complex system of education with the support of free city college, it's a no brainer. colleagues, this charter amendment will be on 30-day hold, and i look forward to talking with all of you about its importance, and i hope to gain your support when we vote on this before the end of the year, i do want to recognize our free city coalition who helped us craft this second companion measure, including our city college board of trusties, bridge

the city of berkley had more. san diego had dozens of them and i tred to figure out why was san francisco behind. and the answer actually was because the state law didn't think about places like san francisco, where we had mixed-use neighborhoods. the vibrant communities of polk street, north beach, and so we had to create our own law. that became article 15 of our business and tax regulation code. that began, what has spread all over san francisco. now let me say, it is very rare that people come together to celebrate the fact that they all voted to raise their taxes. that is exactly what we are doing today. it stays in the community. it does not mean a diminishment of city services. it's services on top. i am very bullish on polk street. it is remarkably a vibrant community. i want to salute the lower polk neighbors and the lower polk c.b.d. which was at the forefront, that gave suzanne and the steering committee the vision that the c.b.d. to be extended in a northerly manner. there's going to be an economy of s

over those streets, like any other streets in the city. >> supervisor safai: the city will have the control over the new streets and the sidewalks. >> at the end of the day, yes, sir. >> supervisor safai: that's what i was trying to determine. because if the proposal was the city was not going to have control over the streets and the sidewalks, i would not be in support of that. >> no, they will. they will have to go through the warrant period, and they will be dedicated to the city at the end of the period, just like any other development that creates new streets near a right-of-way. >> supervisor safai: so that spelled out in this resolution, that the new streets will be dedicated -- will be handed back to the city? >> you know, not to my recollection, i don't think, but i do believe there's a development agreement that does spell this whole plan out. >> supervisor safai: i understand, ybut i wouldn't wan this resolution to conflict with this development agreement. i think it should say we're vacating this for the purposes of development. but it should state clearly that the stree

i have the experience in city hall, and i currently work as a city auditor. i understand the situations very well. i look forward to working for you. >> thank you. ms. basan? >> my vision for san francisco is this: i used to be proud to tell people i'm from san francisco, and now i'm embarrassed. i don't want it to be known. i would like it to go back to the way it was when i could be proud to say i'm from san francisco. i'm from a world class city. i invite you to come. but right now as it is, it's a cess pool. it's filthy, disgusting, and it's dangerous. if i am supervisor, i am going to vote no on the policies that keep perpetuating those problems and are keeping us down trodden? are you afraid to go downtown? i'm tired of wearing work boots to civic center because i don't know what i'm going to step in. this is my vision, to bring it back to where it's clean and beautiful. i've spent any entire career to fighting for my clients. if i'm elected supervisor, i will fight for you and your quality of life. >> thank you very much. mr. kim? >> i moved to the bay

right here in the heart of this city, in transformation. another little known fact about natalie was her lack of interest in looking at site and building plans. she would ask clients to please just describe it in words, but if natalie were here today, she would not need to hear words to feel honored by this very public dedication of a beautiful property that provides desperately needed housing that she worked so tirelessly to provide for more than 30 years. however, as those of you who worked with her can well imagine, she would have deeply appreciated all of the words that are being spoken here today in recognition of her life's work. natalie likes to dispense with formality. she would correct children who addressed her as ms. gub, or, god forbid, mrs. gub, advising them to ad her as natalie. i am grateful, as i know she would have been, to have this home for many named natalie gub commons, and to be here today in acknowledgement and celebration. on behalf of all of us, thank you. the entire mercy housing team, and all the other people tha

and picking up litter and making our city, loving our city. and importantly when delegates got off the plane they were welcomed to s.f.o. with messaging and welcomed and there were light poles across the city. but we as a department wanted to take more of a personal touch. so we spent time in advance of the summit creating partnerships with the hotels. and these are really important because we wanted to help them to share their sustainability and successes and highlights with these delegates when they came to each hotel. but beyond that we wanted to create partnerships because we wanted to do things that we were really proud of, like remove single-use water bottles from the rooms of delegates. and for the hotels that had the majority of delegates attending them we removed them and replaced them with reusable water bottles that are all in front of you. not just a welcome though, but a welcomer and a celebration and a recognition and appreciation. but this wasn't just about the delegates. this wasn't just about the summit. this was about bringin

illod that has city leaders fuming. answers from the project senior construction manager. >> it was an evolving process. since the design ended up being more significant than originally was projected i think it was -- there is a much more conservative approach that is now our final product. >> what caused the cracks has yet to be determined. test results are expected to come in november. >>> some restaurant customers in walnut creek are blaming whole foods for taking away some of their favorite food. they will not renew the lease of a 31-year old chinese restaurant. the owners were told the grocery store does not want the competition. the property management company has also decided not to renew a hamburger restaurant's lease. another restaurant is currently in negotiations about a possible extension. in the meantime customers are rallying to try to save the restaurant. >> we will likely be protesting outside of whole foods. >> we are just happy that i have these customers for this long. >> the lease expires in february

my opinion is that the city officials have not moved our city in the right direction at all. think that they have moved the city to a disastrous precipice. we are bordering on chaos. why? we don't need drug injection sites. we don't need an increase in the needle exchange program. we know that san francisco is handing out 400,000 needles a month but only getting back 150,000 used needles. these policies are not good for san francisco. in addition, the focus on increasing housing density and building along transit corridors is, again, misguided. >> thank you. and mr. kim? >> all right. i will also say that we haven't exactly been moving in the right direction. there have definitely been good advances made by certain supervisors and certain city agencies, but the fact is that we still have a crisis of homelessness and affordable housing, and we just keep giving away tax incentives to large corporations, and it's hurting the people. that's not a sustainable model. eventually we're just going to become a city for the super rich, and we'll have this giant wealth gap that all our m

here is panama city. here's the city, here is the beach.t is looking like this going to -- here is tyndall air force base. it is looking like the eye of the storm may clip panama city. that means the suburban towns of parker and calloway. not large populations, but parker and calloway, at least, may get a touch of this eye wall. same with cedar grove and springfield, and maybe panama city itself. not the western side of panama city like over by the bridge, but on the eastern side of panama city. i am going to back out now so you can see where this is going. this is the eye wall itself. this is real-time movement. here is tyndall, here's mexico beach pray the national hurricane center has been singing the last hour, it looks like mexico beach may take a direct hit. this is moving this way, and tears mexico beach. instead, to the left of mexico beach. could panama city be hit by this? the town itself, not the beach? it could. look at this rain wrapping around. this is extremely heavy rain. all of this area is still hurricane-force winds. for

i do prep through city clinic. you know i get my tests read here regularly and i highly recommend prep >> a lot of patients inclined to think that there's no way they could afford to pay for prep. we really encourage people to come in and talk to one of our prep navigators. we find that we can help almost everyone find a way to access prep so it's affordable for them. >> if you times we do have opponents would be on thursday morning. we have two different clinics going on at that time. when is women's health services. people can make an appointment either by calling them a dropping in or emailing us for that. we also have an hiv care clinic that happens on that morning as well also by appointment only. he was city clinic has been like home to me. i been coming here since 2011. my name iskim troy, client of city clinic. when i first learned i was hiv positive i do not know what it was. i felt my life would be just ending there but all the support they gave me and all the information i need to know was very helpful.

to be here, in front of city hall, in the heart of our city, it's kind of a dream, right?ited. i'm excited to be partnered with everybody on this project. super excited about the alignment of vision and how perfectly, you know, our cafe being right here on this corner lines up with our community for food. i saw the impact we had on our community. that block, when i took it over, had storefronts that were covered with metal grates. we took those grates down, and all of a sudden, we saw things happen. 300 jobs are created in that 1800 block of eighth street. things had happening in the divisadero, and that's why i'm excited to be here now. that's the power of good food. it brings people today. it slows us down, it allows us to communicate -- except when your mouth is full, right? i'm excited to feed kids, to partner with this library with the program that we're going to have with the main library. we're going to continue working with the same businesses that we've worked with the same dozen years in this community, but we can't do it alone. we need you to come back tomorrow,

i think this is important for the city and county of san francisco as well as future of our city. on the fiscal side, i think it is also important to note that we have a lot of competing interests, and we would be fooling ourselves to say this is not going to impact other areas of our city's budget and other areas of services because it absolutely will. i think having a fiscal responsibility triggers is important. i think also that there's been some good progress in conversations. myself, supervisor fewer, and supervisor peskin were just involved in some knockdown, drawn out, long negotiations as it pertained to project labor agreement. folks were in the room, and labor was in the room, and i think we came to an agreement what was a pretty good negotiated settlement. i would encourage all parties to take this week to work with the mayor, work with members of the board that have been leading this to continue this conversation. i don't think this conversation is done today. i think i will be supporting these amendments today, but i would like to see more details and more work put in

>> so the city and the clean powers program through the city 's direction has focused on certain types of renewable resources that are the most costly in the market. they are really the premium product types. >> and those are what? >> for the renewable portfolio standard programming in california there are three categories of renewable energy products. there are is category one which is a bundled renewable energy product, you purchased it ahead of time with the electricity and all of the attributes associated and that has to be delivered into the california grid. there is a category to resource which comes from out-of-state that also has to be delivered into the california grid. but it is not a state product and then there is a category three resources which can be unbundled in time and they can be in-state or out-of-state. they don't need to be purchased ahead of time and bundled. they can be purchased after the energy is generated. it they tend to be the lowest cost renewable resources. there are a number of options. i want to be clear. that is one set of options is to incorporate mo

great, vibrant cities. fiber and cities are key to keeping young people here attracting jobs in protecting our space outside. we have to expand the grand list of our city. we have to attract business into our cities. the highest taxed areas in our cities. that is driving young people and business out of them. it is the wrong thing to do. sure we keepake our commitment to our schools. make sure we have great k-12 education. make sure young families want to be attracted there. i can to make sure each and everyone of us know we are in this together. >> 90 seconds. mr. stefanowski: i think it was july or august i went to the puerto rico day parade in bridgeport and i had people running up to me saying that the first time in their life -- they were lifelong democrats, for the first time in their life they vote republican. they said that because they want change. they want economic growth. they want a vibrant city. it willw that under ned be more of the same. theid we would cut corporate tax rate and that would g

one between the housing authority which is technically not a city agency, and the other within the city between the executive branch on the legislative branch. the bottom line is, we are learning about this after the fact. i. i'm not even sure how i can read in the newspaper that you've got 20 million bucks to spend. anyway. those are my questions. >> great, thank you, supervisor. i am very happy to be here to be able to address that question. first of all, as you know very well, the budget is comprised of multiple sources of funds that have their own sets of restrictions on them. so we are limited in the way in which we can use funds depending on the type of project and where that money is coming from. we have been saying, indeed, that we have limited money for a new small programs and new land acquisitions and new construction. that is largely a function of the fact that our projections for our inclusionary housing fees and our job housing linkage fees for 18 and 19 have dropped off quite a bit. those are the funds that we use for small sites and we use for land acquisitions and we us
