the city council. i think we can do a lot better if we go back to the way that we used to run this city. >> a lot of this going back way before the last administration. what do you think went wrong? >> to be honest with you, i think measure x made it wrong. when jerry brown was the mayor, it started going down, down, down. one of the things that is the problem with the strong mayor form of government is, there is no way to tell whether the new mayor with all that power, knows anything about running the city. you cannot put anybody up to run the city. that's why we had city managers. city managers were educated. they had experience running cities, running them effectively. all of that is gone, now, and i think it started with that strong measure x. we need to get rid of that, along with ranked choice voting. and we need to make sure that all the citizens of oakland vote. please go out and vote so that we can get the kind of leadership that we need to run the city. perspect >>hey, everyone. so we're doin

i was in that city. nobody is saying we're going to entirely cut new york city off from automobile traffic can be e pedestrian bicyclist paradise. you do need cars. that are not well served by transit. you need people who want or need to get away and a private motor vehicle for various reasons and broaderhe reasons. success is measured there are certain parts of the densest urban areas where you should not limited automobile traffic. of course times square, global comparisons of the places like garden, pedestrian areas of the perished quays, copenhagen, central street. there are some areas where you do not want cars. what's it like a free bus service going to those areas. there are other places you want to narrow the road. you're not going to get rid of the cars there. but we succeeded with the speed and red light cameras that you don't have people driving their 50 miles per hour. making sure they're fitting themselves into the streetscape rather than dominating the streetscape is the goal here. and mayb

, i think city hall is pretty youth friendly because ewen was talking about running into city hall atp.m. i have multiple occasions where i run down trying to get to the bathroom in city hall and an elected official would pass by or i'm holding a big bag of snacks. i think professionalism is important but like hayden was saying it is important to speak your truth and be yourself because coming into city hall, i didn't know anything about city politics. all i knew is i cared about these organizations, i cared about all these issues and i wanted to make a difference and people here really believed in me regardless how prfessional or elquent i was. they mentored me and come a long way. it is important a place like this is accessible for youth because people have offered me professional clothe to go to this event and they offered me opportunities to like speak on panels and have speeches in front of crowds of 200 people and i'm shocked people believe in my. that is what san francisco city government is and it is beautiful. >> everyone in the building is still like a person. i remember the
