we are from the excelsior community. we come to make a proposition -- we are petitioning the building on ocean street, 68 ocean. it makes me sad because nine units, that's nothing. we had a meeting, and they are abandoning the schools because they can -- they can't pay the prices of the rent. they can't pay the rent prices. there are some that are living in antioch and oakland. and it's difficult. and so we come to beg you to take into account the people that are of low income. and those are my only words. thank you. >> can we please get speaker cards from both speakers so we know who they are? >> next speaker, please. >> if the interpreter could help us, ms. rice, and from the last spanish-speaker as well. >> okay. so you need an interpreter as well? okay. >> [speaking spanish] >> good evening. my name is araceli catalan. i'm a counselor with cas a justa for eight years. i'm here to support the appeal of the 65 ocean project. on behalf of our community member jessie fernandez. we believe the planning commission made an

mission excelsior. okay. public comment on item 6? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> president adams, i think we do have someone that wants to speak, but they don't know the process. >> president adams: okay. i'm reopening public comment. >> i am a merchant from the excelsior, d-11. i've been working with chris now almost a year. we're still in the middle of creating the c.b.d., but i think it's very important for our district, our community. i just opened up a new business on the excelsior mission corridor. it's a gem. i want to say that there's a lot of potential for our neighborhood getting a lot of traction. we can learn from the mistakes of prior c.b.d.s -- not mistakes, but more so that are ahead of the curve than us. and we're the black sheep where now we're getting the attention, and now the community is growing. i think it's important for me as a merchant and resident of the 11 that we get some sort of funding or allocation towards this goal of ours, you know, i'm just thinking be

the excelsior site, they're only serving 25 meals a day, so you might want to get with the staff. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. any further comment? call the question. all in favor? any opposed? the motion carries. item g, modify the existing grant agreement with shanti project for the provision of animal bonding services for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender older adults with adults with disabilities for an additional amount of $250,000 plus a 10% contingency for a total amount not to exceed $1,076,076. welcome back, rick appleby. >> glad to be back and requesting funds for p.a.w.s., pets are wonderful support. p.a.w.s. has been around a long time. we're pleased to have $100,000 to support the program. and then an additional $150 has been requested to focus on the target population of folks who have medical disabilities that put them at risk of serious medical conditions or unnecessary hospitalizations. the definition that is in there, you may have read, shanti does a huge assessment when someone does their program, and they'll determine if someone is struggling to

she went to san francisco's excelsior district to find out. >> reporter: it has everything people usually look for in a dream home, a charming storybook style cottage nestled into the hillside and a dream price tag, $535,000. a steal for san francisco anyway. >> i mean, that's kind of amazing. >> reporter: the cheapest in san francisco. >> but that's the cheapest, it's kind of scary as well. >> reporter: the home's online listing says the one-bedroom, 800-square-foot fixer upper was built in the excelsior district after the 1906 earthquake. it was originally listed a $880,000, but sold for $350,000 less. >> yeah, i was very surprised to see it. dictor of the san francisco association of realtors says it's an aberration. home prices in the bay area are slowing down not going down. >> there is nothing which that l slide downward. it's a slowdown in the curve of prices going up. >> reporter: even at $535,000, potential home buyers like david maloney says it's still too much. >> i wouldn't pay $535,000 for that. >> that expert says could be worth $1.5 million after renovation. reporting in sa

if you look at the bayview-hunters point, also, the excelsior outer sunset, i think the approach about thinking about charging stations -- i have an electric car. i never think about an electric charging station. i just don't, because i use my car in the city, so i know if i have appropriately charged it at night, i know i'm going to have enough power to make it home at night. i think a lot of the cars that are that way, and i think a lot of people that are driving their children to work, getting from point a to point b, regardless of our transit first policies, they're getting to work in their cars. i think one of the things that's missing in your conversation is how are you encouraging people to take advantage of this? we have probably more single-family homes, maybe more than even the sunset, and i think it's even more than bayview-hunters point in my district, and i'm probably the area of the town that has the least amount of electric vehicles, but probably one of the easiest ways in which to use it. there's a garage, you plug it into your car. so what are some of the things that y

it's just one of 3 actually that happened in san francisco sunday afternoon it happened in the excelsior district at the corner of mission stret and pers a corporate maureen kelly has more on e ongoing >>the sound of squealing tires and the smoke from burning rubber filled the air as drivers participating in the illegal side show stopped traffic and drew crowds of people. the film the action on their cell phones. this video intersection of mission in persia streets and it up on instagram here's another intersection of san bruno avenue and paul avenue for someone in the crowd coulbe seen walking into the fray apparently to get a closer shot. as one passenger can even be seen hanging out of the window of a cardoing donuts out on 24th and bryant the intersection is blk and with the tire tracks. a rker of the side showwith his some phone. he says ere were at least 10 cars of all the spectacllasted close to 40 minutes. >>you if you're driving away. the traffic is not nice, but you ow for e young people. it's very entertaining. >>specials like that. it can be the key together but this kind of.

in the excelsior district, built after the 1906 earthquake. originally listed for $800,000.d for just half a million dollars. which in san francisco is considered a deal. the average home there costs more than a million dollars. after renovations, you fix it or you build something new, you could have yourself a $1.5 million house. >>> a magical blend of light and water happens every february at yosemite. few people are going to be seeing it this year. for just a couple weeks horsetail fall on the edge of el capitan turns vivid, look at this, vivid shades of red and orange. video from the national park service. thank you for that. happens as the setting sun hits the flowing water just priept every year photographers make the journey to capture the glow. and as you can see there's a lot of them. too many of them. they're trampling vegetation and they're trampling the river banks. the park is now closing off many of the access points and viewing points. but we'll always have that video for you. >> that is beautiful. >>> 49ers do something they haven't done in days. they actuall

. >> supervisor safai: so excelsior and outer sunset-sunset is the two areas where you have the most growth where people travel by car. >> chair peskin: commissioner preston? >> thank you, and thank you commissioner mar, for asking for this study. i was just curious -- and thanks for all your work on it. just looking at the map of the public charging stations gets me thinking about what the situation is with the stuff that's not public, so apartment buildings and multifamily -- commissioner safai talked about the single-family homes. but is there data on apartment buildings and who's providing charging stations there, and is that a significant part of the strategy going forward and if you could talk just about feasibility of adding that? >> so that's a great question, and i'm going to ask my colleague lowell to tell us if we have data on privately -- private charging. >> good afternoon supervisors. so my name's lowell chu. i am the energy program manager at the department of environment. and the question we recognize that two thirds of our neighbors live in multifamily building stock

. >> the question is how to create more of these spaces sometimes i have worked the excelsior in the mission corridor and there were a lot of vacancies and we were looking how to have incentives to attract traffic and it's what comes first the business or amenity but it's particular to each case. it's very dense and businesses are constantly changing and that's why we get all the foot traffic. we've had people complain about parking and it's the amenity that's an extra value for them. >> we had tons of parking in the mission when i moved there in '91. i don't think anybody would say that businesses were doing better back then. it's been largely beneficial. >> i think the parklet is not the solution for everything and that it comes with a labe in the past years it's the icon to gentrifying neighborhoods but it's also one thing we've tried to fight back and keep in public but something we know for sure they don't want it in the mission on mission street. to answer the question, it's the parent program's goals there's many different ways in which more community spaces can be achieved. w
