>> for me that's easy because san francisco, the entire city, is my home. i grew up here. i know -- i went to galileo in the marina, my family lives all over the city. i can't do something that positively impacts district 5, but i can make it impact san francisco as a whole. so, whatever decisions i make, it's a no-brainer. i have to make sure that it's going to positively impact the city as a whole. and that's just how i view every decision that i make through that particular lens. >> let's talk a little about your district in particular. what do you hear about transportation from your constituents? is there adequate muni service? >> well, it's funny that you mention muni. [laughter] >> and let me just say this. as someone who caught -- i mean, we caught muni -- when i was growing up in the city, i mean, that's how you got around. and there were some real problems with muni. i've talking about just -- i mean, the buses were always dirty, they were always packed. there was just always some challenges and the city is growing clearly. and we need to look at all modes of trans

anne makovec live in gotham with how the entire city is rallying around batkid. it's amazing. >> reporter: it's absolutely unbelievable. even this morning, no expected this. thousands of people have come to see what the batkid is up to. he is eating lunch. even superheros need fuel. this is the crowd waiting for him to come out. they are planning a flash mob. an hour ago he got a call from the police chief and saved the day for a second time today accompanied by his full sized batman guide. the riddler was attempting to rob a vault on montgomery street. he caught him in the act. the riddler is now locked up for good, one of many heroic acts for batkid today. with the spray of following, the roar of the crowd to and a souped up batmobile, san francisco was transformed into gotham city all for a 5-year- old boy who dreamed of becoming a hero. >> he is very shy, very kind hearted boy and this has been so brave through all of this. >> this being leukemia. miles has battled it for most of his life, the kind of struggle that takes true strength to overcome. today, nece

supported by the revenue and expenses of the building. >> they really thought that every area in the entire city was going to be boom and the whole city was going to be gentrified. and they made the wrong bets in some neighborhoods where those neighborhoods are still a long way from being gentrified. >> paulino's neighbor, kim moore, is also struggling to maintain an apartment at faile street. >> i came into this apartment from a shelter. when i seen this building, i freaked out. i was like, "oh, no." just from seeing the outside and the area, i thought of the worst. when it rains, all the water comes in here and in my bedroom. and look over here. i had termites. critters, you can see them. all the kind of crap that was crawling in. just to give you an idea what i have to go through cleaning up. it's gone on two years now i haven't had a fridge. i put the food in the refrigerator and a couple days later, i guess, since the refrigerator wasn't working, everything went bad. and i woke up one day and there were all type of black, wiggly wormies coming from out of the refrigerator, crawling all thro

are city-wide representatives and we vote on legislation every week that impact everyone in the entire city. i think that when we take those votes, for example, we keep our district interests in mind and how they might want us to best represent them on city-wide issues. >> you mentioned transportation and muni earlier. what do you see about transportation for your constituents, is there enough needed service? >> i think especially given the fact the sunset district is located so far from the central portion of the city, that transportation is difficult for them. and as you know, there are some issues with switch backs for example on muni and folks feeling like, you know, they don't have adequate service down to the end of the line. so, i have worked with mta and we're trying to figure out solutions to address that. but i think overall our residents really just want to make sure that they can get from where they need to go from the sunset district or back home via public transportation. >> what about parking and traffic? >> i think that the sunset district typically has a little bit more pri

the parks alliance is the independent partner to the entire city for everything having to do with parks, recreation, and open space. we have more than 100 different community groups called park partners all across the city. each of them working in their own way to make our park system a little better, a little more beautiful, a little more usable. today this is the day for one of those groups, the friends of lafayette park. this is a shining example of how a few neighbors can come together, bring together their friends, and make an incredibly beautiful thing happen in a public open space. this park was renovated with bond dollars, but friends of lafayette park brought in hours and hours of hard work over four years to do visioning and imagining what this park could really look like. they raised over half a million dollars of private fund to augment the bond dollars so that this kind of a playground could be added to this park. it's been that kind of selfless generosity, and hours of giving to the city that is just an incredible humbling experience for us at the parks alliance. let's hav

for the entire city and county of san francisco. >> yes, and we also have a sworn officer that is our dispatcher. >> for hundreds and thousands of animals. and because it seems that, thank you very much. >> and it seems that we have a situation where we have very few available officers because of the staffing is so low. and a significant volume of calls for all manner of challenges that we have whether it is vicious dogs or abused or neglected or a dead animal that needs to be removed, and i am sure that i could go on and on and on with the different reasons why the animal care and controls get a call and it is legally responsible to respond. and we are, they don't have the resources to respond to everything in a timely manner or to do enough investigation, and so i am hearing that maybe we will pair them up which is great for the officers safety. but that does not seem to address the capacity issue, which seems to be part of the fundamental problem and so, the city administrator believes that there is enough capacity to actually meet these mandates in terms of responding to these cal

then the entire city, given the supply of createive talent, the whole city could be a revolving work of art. that would be wonderful. that is what black rock city is. why not transpose that to san francisco? i think the city is now looking at doing art paths for that purpose. it would not be hard, given the abundance of -- after so many years in the desert, there is a huge backlog of brilliant art. magnificent piece is done by armies of artists working together. so that is an obvious things that could be instituted. i also pulled him that we did not have any trash cans in our city. we did not really continue that dialogue.

saying it could provide entire cities with electricity, for example.uclear energy is obviously trying to play the pit -- transparency card with a detailed history of the nuclear efforts providing a great deal of information on the nuclear infrastructure with research currently underway. an online publicity campaign is also being used to respond to critics of the program with western secret service agencies suffering nothing to see the program fail, even killing innocent people being accused of being involved in those activities. the scottish police force has campaign toe 999 # reduce the number of time wasting calls made to the emergency number. somewhathe calls are bizarre. one person needed help saving an injured pigeon. humorous examples do have the authorities naturally very concerned. victims of racketeering, repentant members of an organized crime network, mafia leaks were result -- announced last week. helping to encourage people to share

the entire city are residential areas are covered. what's not covered is in golf courses, so in the city of golf course isn't covered so if you want to take a bus between hoels, it isn't going to work for you. and on the extreme edges of the bay, and the southeast earn part of the city, as the development grows in those places and as resident move in, we'll provide services to meet those service needs. transit and amenities. all of our shelters and bus stops distributed and for shelters, we found they're not. if you look -- we don't install that many new shelters in a year. we have to go through public process to do it. out of the last nine that were installed last year, seven were installed in minority census track. that was good. we just got to get better. we got to close that gap. the next place to expand shelters or install bus folds in the commission, those are minority fences block groups. we're going to look to install shelters there. we have the customer first grants which are for the san bruno corridor and commission corridor.

as a result, i think my district is really emblematic of the entire city. you can find every political perspective that you could possibly want in district 3. so oftentimes, the interest of my district and the city really are quite a line, so i do not have to think about this difference is probably quite as often as some of my colleagues may have to. i in particular want to thank the mayor for his decision to protect our nutrition programs. this is something that i think we all believe is incredibly important at a time when we have seen massive federal and state cuts, for us to hold the line locally and stand up in the city of st. francis for our seniors and our nutrition programs and families. i think we have a lot of challenges right now. we are still in the midst of the great recession. we all know way too many folks who are struggling in a minimum wage jobs pirouette of folks who have been laid off at work. i think as a city, we need to do much better at creating an environment where we have more jobs and more economic development. i know that all of us

if a group get together to give a gift to an entire city, it is easy to find people who will give to that. and the consequence is, you can learn a lot. talk about a networking opportunity. but nobody ever went there to network. they went out there to give their energy, imagination, their heart to something. >> there is that collaboration, the cross-disciplinary thing that happens out there, but i also feel like there is a bit of a sense of competition. people are trying to outdo each other, try to outdo each other trt impressive thing. >> that is human nature. i read a few years ago somebody complaining, i remember the good old days. you could put up a pink flamingo in front of your tent and it was cool. now with all of these big projects, i feel few tile -- futile. well, they learned the wrong lesson. the interesting thing is, people say that they are connected, but in an environment like that, it is easy to get connected. it is easy to get help. unless you insist on being the leader, you will find something to join. that is what my whole career has been, basically. >> speaking of y

can do in terms of equity in our transit system, is having a system that is reliability for the entire city, and i think that this moves us in that direction, and i also just want to comment on the really wonderful proposal that i hope will come out of the mtc, but it is being proposed by the nbc staff now that will for muni bar and ac transit which combine 80 percent of the riders in the region, will provide a significant pool of money for those three agencies including muni to access, to impair the infrastructure and the state of good repair of the system. and to do that, we have to put in local money. to 30 percent of the money has to come from the agency. and then, the mtc will come in with the other 70 percent, it is a wonderful opportunity but we have to put in that money and these recommendations will allow you to do that and if the money is being used for something else and not for the capitol needs of the state of the repair of the system, we will not be able to access all of that regional money. so there are a lot of balls in the air right now, i think that these recommendations a
