cities experienced these. there is experience in decline in housing stock. and there is problems with crime, drugs and violence. i mean, those things are real. so cities do suffer. cities do suffer. keep in mind, though, too, that there are always local people in these cities, residents, activists, housing advocates, teachers, union organizers, there are always people in cities throughout the 20th century trying to fight against these issues. there's always people who are doing that. even though we don't usually think about them. we don't usually study them. they are there. right? they are there. i want you to keep that in mind, too. but as you saw in the article about the bay area, you saw in the article about the oakland corridor, fighting against these issues is extremely difficult. it was extremely difficult. the forces of history that urban activists had to fight against were entrenched. they're entrenched in structures of inequality, spatial structures between where people live. they're entrenched in structures of income divides, between who has access to jobs and who comes at kind of the moments of the industrialization. there's historical structures of politica

city and county with -- of san francisco. two, a resolution urging the mayor and city departments to prioritize youth employment during business negotiations. with the job rate at its lowest point in more than 60 years, and 33% of the city's youth being officially unemployed, the youth commission like many other cities and community stakeholders has been focusing on youth employment. for example, the youth commission has worked with my colleagues, supervisor elsbernd on legislation and on march 5, 2012, the youth commission adopt a resolution calling and city leaders to prioritize youth employment in future business or been negotiation. like the america's cup, and/or the tenderloin payroll tax exclusion or twitter tax break as it is commonly known. by having city departments include user involvement plans -- youth involvement plans like that of the america's cup. i am introducing a similar resolution that calls on the mayor and city departments to include substandard of u.s. involvement plans with -- youth involvement plans and negotiation in which the city is involved. finally, it has been requested by members of the community that we hold a hearing to request presentations from the department of public works regarding i

in terms of general, broad and -- what parents are saying broadly in the city, the city issued a city survey back in 2009. i have a few points from that survey. one is that parents report that amid news of children's programs and an increasing rate. that is seen in our database. we saw a significant increase in children and entered into our data system being served in the last two years. another point was that although there is a level use of top care programs in the city for children under 6, we are seeing a huge intake in after-school programs, youth employment programs, and counseling programs for young people. parents who send their children to san francisco schools, public and private, say they really love their school. i think this notion of a school being a bad school, and that is why they are leaving, is perhaps a small portion of the population. i will admit it is difficult. being a parent who had to go through the school enrollment process, it was difficult. but we have lots of parent organizations out there that support the parents in trying to maneuver through and understa

applies to -- i mean, for legislative aides, it applies to communications with all city departments, all city commissions, all city employees, all city officers. that is in the law itself. with respect to most other employees of other departments, for instance, employee with the ethics commission, the one-year ban would only apply to communications with the ethics commission to influence a governmental decision. but there is an exception carved out for the mayor, for the members of the board of supervisors and also for the legislative aides of the supervisors so it is in the law itself that the one-year ban applies to communications with all city departments. commissioner liu: thank you. chairperson hur: any further questions for mr. selna? >> just a comment. my feeling is that you're presenting us with a problem that doesn't yet exist as the previous commissioner mentioned. this is all hypothetical. this legislation is not intended to prevent you from gaining employment and as someone who spent many, many years as a public affairs professional with many companies, there's no reason to think that you can't find a

like any big city it has the black eye that it gets from certain things that goes on within that city. oakland just needs strong leadership, and we have the mayor and a new city administrator. she had brought in a team that recently had been on the cover of a magazine identified as the dream team with the city administrator and her two assistant administrators. a new police chief and now a few fire chief. i think we'll see some changes in oakland. not only that, but you see a small inkling of the economy changing and moving upward, too, which is going to benefit not just oakland but a lot of the cities that were having problems. >> belva: survival politically in oakland, i guess you thought a lot about that. >> yeah. it's a different -- it's different in san jose. i recall speaking to someone and telling them i have to be aware of the politics, but don't get caught up in the politics. be aware of it. >> belva: we wish you well, new fire chief, teresa reed. we hope to have you back here once you get through that door and really looked at what is behind it. >> i would love to. >> belva: okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> belva: and that is all the time we have t

cities. it is also a shorthand explanation for the fiscal insecurity, a lot of cities, northeastern and midwestern cities are experiencing fiscal crisis in which is basically they can't pay their bills. the urban crisis refers to the fiscal insecurity that's besetting many northeastern and midwestern cities. it refers to the decline in services that rack many northeastern and midwestern cities, decline in police protection, fire, transportation, sanitation, which is related to the inability of cities to pay their bills. rers to the loss of a tax base, the loss of tax revenue, so the urban crisis is a way to talk about these political and cultural phenomena, the violence and disorder which i will talk more about in detail as well as the fiscal insecurity that is really hitting american cities in the northeast and midwest particularly hard. so in the urban crisis as a concept it is an overarching way to think about a confluence of social issues, crime, disinvestment, abandonment, the abandonment of housing, and depopulation, what will the role of government be in american cities, the role of government in
