and we campaigned on using these additional dollars brought to the city to bring more equity to the city primarily by making city college free and making san francisco the only city in the nation to make community college tuition free in the nation. we did this for many reasons. back -- and just to do a little bit of history, there was a time when government in this country made a very expensive and radical decision to fund a free k-12 education system. and we can so at a time when a high school diploma was enough to get a good paying job in this country. by 2020, however, 70% of all u.s. jobs will require some sort of post secondary degree, training or certificate. this move that san francisco has made in making community college free, again, because it used to be free in the state of california through 1983, is our statement and belief that we believe that community college is part of a fundamental compact that we make with our citizens to provide free university, regardless of income or any type of prewe canri sit. after the measure passed -- prerequisite. after the measure passed, we worked with the board an

meeting with city administrators and safety college administrators and myself to make sure that those funds that we have given from prop w. to the city go to city college and are spent wisely. they are spent wisely. we have had many discussions about how to make sure that every single penny that the city gives that city college spends in those invoices that we get are justified. the funding of this thing right now is going well. it is being served by everybody and i definitely support this. i also support supervisor yi's moved to make it a 20 year program. it should be unstoppable because of the advantages you've heard. i can't speak anymore beautifully as you have heard today here. i support it all. thank you. >> good afternoon again. i spoke before you all two years ago after the voters of san francisco past prop w. i voted for that. you kept your promise. now i support locking in that promise with the charter amendment. i say if a program is successful it helps the diverse community in the city in an extremely equitable manner we should continue its. given the realities we live in now, the only people who oppose this amendment are republican

successful and i trust that the leadership of this city will continue and this soaked our city will continue to lead in innovative ways like providing free city college to the residents of the city of san francisco. too many students, both in the u.c., cal state, at city college , are homeless because they cannot afford to pay rent and go to school. i encourage the board of supervisors to find a way to have set-asides and make sure that city college remains free for all in the city of san francisco. we can lead. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am a former city college students from 2011-2013. and it gave me the ability to complete my education in san francisco states. i have had multiple close friends go back to city college after dropping out because they couldn't afford to continue their education and free was the only price tag they could afford when you're trying to pay rent on a student budget in san francisco, with 100 or so dollars that city college has increased intuition can really make all the difference. this experience is not gestured by my friends but by thousands and thousands of san franciscans we have seen thi

cities. cities have always had a strong appeal they offer medical care educational and job opportunities infrastructure and cultural institutions and other attractions is anything lacking at all yes nature but why do we need green spaces in cities. for food for example with so many people in cities it makes sense to produce food there urban gardening is popular lettuce herbs and other easy to grow greens are being cultivated on rooftops or in small plots. but not every part of the city is suitable plants that grow alongside busy streets are exposed to pollution. urban green spaces can impact the climate cities account for seventy percent of global c o two emissions bad for the planet and its residents. green leafy plants absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. and trees and other vegetation help regulate the urban temperature they provide shade and cooling three that for ration. plants and unpaved soil absorb water when it rains heavily our rivers overflow. and parks are places where we can rest and relax. but we're not alone and lots of animals have adapted to city life urban dwelling animals often have it better than their country cousins but only if they have access to plenty of green areas and trees. many wild plants have

the book try to show how the city was i would say poisoned through the urban policies of the past like 50 years that set the city up to fail. i'm interested in what makes a city vulnerable in the first place. >> walk us through. you mentioned this was years in the making in many ways. what were some of those urban policies that you critique in "the poisoned city"? >> to start with, segregation. segregation was the law for a very long time and flint was literally the most segregated city in the north and the third most segregated city nationwide. so the boundaries for where people could live were rigidly kept and as more and more people were coming to the city for these well-paying general motors jobs, it got to be an increasingly untenable, tense situation. what i try to do in the book is show how our legacy of infrastructure inequality dates back to those days when we literally decided that some neighborhoods were going to be worth less, not worth investment, not worth the same level of public services or lending or any of that, because of people's race and ethnicity. even when we had gotten the fair housing laws and a number of other civil rights laws, the

city lectures series is a city treasure, i am a longtime public education and arts advocate. when you vote to approve this renaming, i want to make sure we are all aware that when we say this theater has returned to public use, it is actually not usable by public san francisco school students yet, and i do think that it is important to remember that as is -- it cannot be used. the city block, i would like to remind everyone for the record, just so we remember this, that the city block that the theater is part of it is slated to be the san francisco unified school district arts centre and step the school of the arts is slated to move there. this is a project the school board has put forward in the public have voted on. there are a couple that the public have voted on after this. when you launch your capital campaign for the art centre, i hope that the city arts and lectures community will be embracing that. it is a little exciting opportunity to embark upon the project. i do hope that when it is finally renovated so students in the school district to use it, students get first dibs on it, and for the commissioner we hope you will advocate for many of the excess funds that the city is going to be getting. i never hear the word excess and school district in the same sentence. i hope you lead the charge to make sure that the school district gets the money that it deserv

>> we're waiting to find out. we did have heavy rain in the burn area an round it which caused flooding. the sherifff said workers were delayed a little bit in getting back to work and clear thing area so people could come back to parts of paradis it's definitely a concern and could delay things. >> i want to bring in you at this point. homes thatome mobile there being provided by fema. whas the update on that? >> i spoke to fema's spokesman, brad pierce, and have been more than 80 trailers sitting there and more on their way to california. >> why are they just sitting there? >> that's good question. fema has to find lots to put them and they have to figure out a bunch of stuff. so after the fire, peoplefe ed churches and ranches and mobile home parksll offered space but more than to have hook ups for utilities, sege and water and schools and medical facilities have to be nearby. and they say it takes time and it could literally take anywhere from a week to four months to assess sites and actually get people in trailers. >> and they're planning to bring in how many total? >> femassesses they need about 2,000. they say that number could n gedut right now there's a little over 2,000 on their way but body is in trailer or an rv yet. >> it's got to be so frustrating i know for people who really need aome right now. is there any type of short term recovery housing plan or are people pretty much left to fend for themselves? nd> they are fng for themselves but there is assistance available to add on the fema aspec it's urging people to register with them to see if they're eligible to be put up in hotels. akesan told me 2400 households are eligible to ve rechat type of assistance and only 450 have taken advantage so far. they're urging people to go to the old sears building where they can sgn up and get help. >> and this has really created a full-blown housing cris. 10s off thousands that have been displaced. a situation where nearly 14,000 homes were lost.ut that's a13% of the housing stock. it's huge. so when people do go to fema and theyegister forhelp, they get housing vouchers, are there enou places where they can spend those voucher snz >> the rental vacancy was hovering around 2% in chico and oroville before the vire fires. . i went to the searser disa store myself and one comsaid we had to check. looking ney and we're as far south as sacramento and as far north as oregon. because the vacancy rate has gone down to zero. >> and andre, what about long-term>> recovery. hat are you hearing as you talk to them? do they want to even me back at this point? >> long-term recovery. people want toreome back and ild. but really people haven't been able to see what's left of their homes yet. thousands of people are still unable to reach paradise and what i'm hearing is people just want to start snathat pr before they think about what they're going to do nex ppt >> and we have the problem of climate change which is contributing to making them more destructive. and that's whether these neighborhoods, ese wild land urban and nonurban communities, should they een be rebuilt? nd well wit, i guess the realit they exist they exist all over california where they have their own piece of paradise, i'm sorry to say, in amongst the trees. i would say it's a question for urban plannovrsg forward but these kind of communities will be rebuilt. i think one of the questions is what materials for the home snz they have to be upgraded, i would imagine to be more fire resistant it's going to be happening as the new legislative session begins. an ongoing question of where can we build? >> and what are you hearing as you talk to them. a, are there some a who s it's been too much for me and my family? and b, if they do come back, are they willing to come back to a different kind of town in terms of different infrastructure, building with more fire-resistant materials? >> raerl >> it's a mixed bag. they're thinking about how they want to d,rebu that's for sursure if anything needs to be changed for infrastructure. the rebuilding process could be one.gthy >> one fais there's a ceptic system. but wt they told me is they want to go back and try and re-create paradise. >> and andre, as we head to the weekens whathe mood like? this is base clicallyk w three dealing with the aftermath of this? >> they want to stars srt the process of looking at what remains of their property. we were givenmeope parts of paradise can could reopen soon. we're expectingatore rainy r. so frustration is the main mood. >> all right. well with, we appreciate your time. the ch iesico enterprise record. thank you to you both. >> thank you. >> now look back at san francisco's mission district in the 1980s. candid imag during the regan era were captured by photographer janet delaney. her photographs offer a poignant perspective on how that reflects where we are today as a society. her new book, publicmatters, contains pictures that have never been published until this year. nice to have you here. you have been living south of market neighborhood in your 20s decided to move there in 1981. what did thedi missiorict provie provide you weren't finding elsewhere? >> i think i was ver excited to have a place with such an in-tact sense of community. grocery a stores laundry mats and just a sense of daly life. ho neighborhood to be. coming from south of mark was light industrial buildings and a quiet narkd tha didn't have quite the sense off cohesion. zpl >> there was a lot of urbulence. >> iink i was able to be there during a very vibrant time when immigrants wering in. a 10-year in during period of the 1980s ppt and perhaps because i had sent time in central america on my own in the '70s i had studied and was very much aware of the conflicts. i was able to be cognizant of their situation. >> and there water lot of protests. >> the protes were often in response to regan's plannedar on nicaragua and his very blatant, illegal activity of supporting the contras by selling arms to iran. >> and you had these photos all these years. why did you destood publish them asw? >> i in the process of archiving some older work south of market i had not yet looked procesin -- during that i dis covered these slides and thought them and knew right after trump was elected and all of the issues on the muslim band was in the news. i started to look at these photographs with a different perspective. >> were you seeing paraleg lel snz. it >> defy seeing parallels. >> and i had ju been to t women's march with my family in washington d.c. and i really want to make a latement about the importance of mublice in response to a government i felt was taking a wrong turn. by looking back, we were dining it again. >> and many of the pictures are of public gatherings. the beauty contests, street parties. the men playing dominos. i like the one of the two young women in their catholic school uniforms.re hey spontaneous shots as you walk through the neighborhood or were you trying to weave more of a narrative, more deliberate >> no, i think what i was really doing, what i would cagal huntig anering. i was on the street responding to what i saw. i'm very much inamerred with the unexpected moment and the interaction with strangers. >> and you had quite a unique perspective. you first arrived during the summer o love butou didn't move to the mission until the 1980s. u were a relative outsider to the neighborhood and an insider as well. you live there had, worked there. how did that dual role influence your work? >> that's a good question. i thing it's reallyo the point of how anybody comes into somebody else's home and neighborhood and how they interact and get to know where they are. either they assu because they own property that they own the place or they come in and pay attention to what already exists in an effort to not supercede what it was that drew them there. and for me personally i thin having grown up in los angeles that the latin culture was something i w already very comfortable with and as i said i spoke spanish and understood a bit of the issues. >> did that make you veryou cons of the wait of the kind of tention you were give thing to snigz. >> i think i was reecording the mission as an act ovof love. i was still very young in my e artistic care so i made photographs of beauty the sheer need to photograph. >> and over the past decade the mission has changed dramatically to a place now with expensionive homes, trendy restaurants. but amid all that is still homelessness on the streets. if you were to photograph the neighborhood now, what do you hink it would train your lens on? >> i think the contradictions, as you outlined them. i would definitely think that we need to pay particular atte hion to thoe a long history in the mission. i think it's fascinatincoto see who'ng. areas always change. citi cities are influx. that's what is exciting about them. and i think the work i'm bringing out nowly hopef helps to inform the new residents of the mission on who is here today as well as who was there before. >> how do you see the mission district? is what e're witnessing now signal the end off a o neighborho is this part of a longer story for the mission district? >> well, there are many people inkithe mission w very hard to keep the mission culture alive and i think anything the city can to support, at my exhibition, we had an event last night who had been born and raised a they could see their own photographs on the wall. >> that's wonderful and the exhibit is at the ukinom galler in san francisco's mission district. your new book is titled public matters.a that will do it for us as always you can find more of our coverage at kqed.com. thank you for joining us. ♪ robert: individual oneid prt trump emerges as a subject of interest in themu eller probe. i'm robert costa, welcome to "w
