i think the city, our cities have the responsibility to keep people alive. basically. until we have the opportunity to get to them. the other issue, what i've been reading about the research, that marijuana, cannabis legalization and allowing it to be used for medical treatment with people who are addicted has been very effective. i think in pennsylvania, for example, it's extremely hypocritical that the state of pennsylvania sponsors, sells, taxes and promotes alcohol in their own state store system, it's not even a private system, the government runs the alcohol sale system in pennsylvania, and then to recoil as somehow marijuana should not even be talked about when it is effective in treating people with opioid addiction. i think that that's -- and we saw in massachusetts, even from a revenue standpoint, pennsylvania, no one wants to raise taxes to pay for education or infrastructure or transportation because they signed that grover norquist pledge how many years ago and they'll never raise taxes under any circumstances, even if there's a major calamity. you don't h

most vulnerable populations through the city budget process. with a limited window of time and limited resources, community members struggle for a seat at the table and an opportunity to express their priorities which often only occur during the add-back process, if at all, when most of the budget had already been set. in 2017, the coalition that i worked with put forward recommendations to reform the city's budget process to expand public input and promote equity, and over the past year, some improvements were made through the leadership of former budget and finance committee chair cohen and the policy hearings held by the committee last spring. still, there is more we can do at every single stop -- every single step to include, empower, and engage the public, and in doing so, to ensure our priorities represent the needs of our communities. between now and the release of the mayor's budget for fiscal year 19-2020, what specific concrete opportunities will members of the public have to provide meaningful input on the priorities, and how will th

[applause] >> i also want to thank aaron peskin, who's not here, and ahsha safai -- did i get that right? ahsha had a lot to do with us and sat down with us hour after hour, days, weeks. we had conference calls at night, 1:00, 2:00 at night. i really don't want to think about what you were wearing during those conference calls, so please don't bring that up again. but i do want to thank you very much for all the effort that i put in, and thank you for letting me have a drink in your office afterwards. you know, san francisco, the progressive city that it is is first on everything -- on a lot of things, on most things. we're a model for the country. i've been saying

we realize this is no longer a city by city issue. mayor breed can't talk to other mayors, we have to figure out how to do this. everyone in the state has to do their part. one in four homeless people in our country lives in california. one in four. 134,000 people. we have 75 -- we have 7500 people here in san francisco. los angeles has 60,000. think about it. that is not a small town. that is a medium-sized town in california. so the problem is great. it is also a stage that we know we can solve problems. we know if we can build bridges, we can build all these buildings , we can build all this amazing housing and build the economy. we have an economy here in san francisco with 2% of unemployment, we are the fifth largest economy in the entire world in california. there is nothing we feel like we can't do. if we can't find a way to put people in homes, if we can't find a way to have people, offer people a life with dignity, than i don't think anybody else can. we will not stop trying, because that is what our city stands for we know t

it was groups like central city s.r.o.o had been working collaboratively on passages to increase adult presence on the streets as kids walk and back doors walk back and forth between school and afterschool programs, and i see many of our partners are here today. and randy, who talked about a study of how this neighborhood had the least number of streetlights at night of any neighborhood here in san francisco. so this, along with the pedestrian safety improvement really became the priority at the community and how cpu josie beat -- and how cpmc could make this neighborhood safer and stronger. there are many steps along the pathway to get here, of which they were not the major obstacle because they committed to this program so early on. i can't mention how many neighborhood studies and community processes that our offices worked with so many of the community leaders here over the last eight years to make that happen. i want to give a huge shout out to the public utilities commission. i know the general manager is here.
