noise wise, i get that san francisco as a high density city. you'd expect there to the bars and i expect of the noise. but in that same time, it is the good neighbor policy. in my opinion,, supposed to wake up at 6:00 a.m. or earlier to be at my place of work that i can work and to serve the people stumbling out of their bar and when i am behind the counter and i haven't slept because of the noise. all we are asking is for them to contain it inside their four walls. he brought up pictures earlier, that is street level. you expect street level bars. the second story is heading higher and higher into the neighborhood and people's homes and their families. they have shown that they don't play by the rules. they took off the front of their building without a permit. then this board instructed them to come with some kind of solution to contain their bar noise. what they have come up with is a solution that doesn't contain airborne noise. in all fairness, the brickyard wants to be competitive. they want a sidewalk seating, they want to be competitive

i think the first and we created increase density on the city. guess what -- over 55 new homes, 300,000 square feet of commercial space will be added, completely through private investment, and reflective of the faith we have in the 1500 rent-controlled apartments will be rebuilt with an unprecedented level of protection to ensure the rights of existing tenants. that project will prove to be a great project for our city, and at the end of the planning process, the western neighborhoods could see a significant capital transportation investment, including separating the air motion view from the 19th avenue and extending muni metro to daly city bar. that will be people using public transportation, making sure that we reduce vehicles. i know later on the my good colleague and director of the office of economic and workforce development will be speaking later on the program and will be explaining all the developments in our projects, but i do want to give you an update on a couple of other things. redevelopment, as you know, we are as a result of what

someone mentioned, which is true that the mission has an extreme density of children. highest in the city. while that is true, they are not necessarily house in appropriate and family-sized units. matching a dedicated portion of this for families is a great next step. there are next steps to make this happen. i encourage you to continue to support the process as it moves toward, thank you. supervisor wiener: i do not know if moh is here. from what i have seen in terms of what future affordable housing will be, it is sort of indeterminate at this point. >> yes, and i do not want to be speaking out of turn. i just know that in a long-term plan, this parcel is being looked at for affordable housing to appear before you today, the transfer to the mayor's office of housing is part of that. i know there is environmental review. supervisor wiener: the reason i raise the issue is just in terms of in the future and maybe someone after public comment can respond to this. i and i know a lot of other people are very focused on moderate income housing as a component of affordable housing and making su

a long time and there has been strong acceptance of the fact that this is the place and the city where densityen. >> reporter: the environmental report should be ready by the end of the month. in san francisco, caroline tyler, abc 7 news. >>> about from building to filming in san francisco. coming up here, a thriller shot in the city is about to it hit theaters. up next, our on the aisle review of "con we spend a lot of time together. well mainly in traffic. i'm serious. we've been togeer, what, a super long time. true. and at first it was all business, you know, i'd take him here, i'd take him there. everywhere. and over the years, we've really bonded. sure. why else would you always buy me chevron with techron?

city -- commissioner sugaya: let me add one thing. this same issue is being discussed in japan town. the direction of the japan town plan after that was brought before us which had higher densities in it is now moving toward a similar approach, which is to do very little with respect to heights increases. >> i think there are some unique situations in the city. i think west portal has 25 foot heights. there are certain neighborhood commercial districts that maybe do not have, are not linked into the network to support high density housing in these older, sensitive arrangements, may be of san jose was not there and there were more connections for people to move through, it would be less of an issue. the other thing that comes to mind as we have struggled with this issue on mission street, where there are thoughts about reducing hides, but it's a major transit corridor and want to encourage more dense housing. >> i think it is a great question. it is a regional transit hub. it has not only bart, but the highway and muni stops. part of this is the balance to figure out between the scale of this particular neighborhood, which is quite special. with the idea of up zonian creating mor

to increase density because it is essential to the feasibility of the project, both with respect to its development because of funding to the state, and in large measure funded from the city. it is limited by the number of units in the project. similarly, the density is important. you have heard there is going to be 24-hour does the coverage at this 24-hour building. that is very expensive. that has to be spread out over as many units as possible so the income coming out from rent, which will be affordable but not a lot of money, goes as far as it can. secondly, the more units, the more the city is going to get for its investment. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is serena. i am from cow hollow. i will try to make this short and sweet. i think we definitely need to move forward with this designation. for instance, the reason i chose to move to cow hollow is the at it is transit rich, near a lot of open space, safe, low crime, and this is important for any youth. any person deserves the right to a safe and affordable housing. it is also an amenity ridge neighborhood, lots of grocery store is, and library, and even the community

cities are very similar. similar populations, similar population densities. they are laid out very similar in terms of residential density. we're centers for strong regional economies, similar in economic drivers. tourism is number one. viking is part of their tourism. also big finance, creative technology, that as part of the economic driver. also big similarities in terms of cultural or political persuasions. we are a population that values environmental sustainability. it values and social equity. we are cities that understand the benefit of the greater good , and are places where sometimes we are out lyras for the rest of our country. there are places that can be models for the rest of our country. in our cities, i can't talk about it without addressing the flat this issue. as flat as amsterdam is, when you are riding on a really heavy by with no barriers over countless little bridges, he really start to feel that on your knees. it is not as flat as i expected. of what we have going for us, we have years. thank you to the bike makers in the room. we also

>> we are a city that is seventh by 7 miles. we have incredible density. we're the densest neighborhoods on the west coast. everyone wants to live here. that drives up housing prices dramatically. the housing costs are driving out working folks, families, the middle class. we need to continue to reinvest, to build, to develop, and maintain a troop stock of affordable housing. i am committed to increase in more funds so that we can build more housing that can be afforded by folks of all economic backgrounds. >> what about the issue of homelessness? >> in recent years during the terrible economy, we have had to cut back significantly. our social-service net, programs for folks who may have mental illnesses, we have seen many problems become exacerbated on the streets. when you combine that with the fact that we have an affordable housing in most parts of the city, it is no surprise our homeless numbers have gone up in recent years. the city needs to recommit ourselves to the values that our city was named after. st. francis believed in compassion for those w

city. it is really in an efficient neighborhood is considering the density and population growth over the last 10 years. it is our belief every resident deserves a access to parks and open space. what we're hearing today is that some of the great community members and organizations are seeing that we need a card. with that comes a great assets of the parks department to have these health and from the beginning conception to where it exists in the future and having a love and ownership creating an amazing part that will connect to the mission even further. it is really a critical part of the eastern neighborhoods plan. the transfer of the property is really the critical first step. will be continuing along the way to make sure that the spark has great success in the future. >> i have been living here for almost 10 years, and i will tell you how much i support the park. i see a lot of little kids in the neighborhood, and definitely needs to be more green space. he needs to also help with the over flooding that we have in the corner. >> patricia is my name, you have seen me before. i am emission

that is more in line with cities abroad in europe that are the same size as us geographically and density whys. they have met these goals. it is not out of left field. it is doable. but it takes a concerted policy changes to make this happen. what is our role within the transportation system? again, we tend to be labeled as muni, with a focus on transit. you can see these other modes that really need attention to make a complete transportation network work. some corridors work better with public transit. some work as bicycle corridors. some will never use -- will never work unless we get land use tools correct. transit is not a be all, and all for the city. in some quarters, it makes sense. others have a better value for other strategies. we are not paid enough attention to commercial vehicles. as we have better transit, more stores pop up. but they are entitled to delivery all the time. if we can get those smaller, maybe on bicycles or electric cars, it will reduce a lot of our congestion. this is something that planners like to see. we have been looking at all the various plans that are
