it's what makes san francisco so amazing. this is a crisis that all of us have witnessed on a daily basis given what's been happening throughout the city. this phenomenon is relatively new and has made a tremendous impact on my office hearing the stories from people. the ordinance that we are voting on today will require landlords usage of able to evict for the market rate during that period. this ordinancen insures that relocation payment adequately represent and allows tennants to have an opportunity to have a fighting chance to stay in san francisco. the rental and purchase prices for san francisco homes have increased dramatically since 2005 and we last have the ordinance requiring relocation assistance payments to tennants at that time. currently landlords are required to pay relocation assistance in the amounts of $5265 per tenant and they must pay $2500 to displaced elderly. anyone who knows the market rate in san francisco has the highest rate in the country know it's not sufficient to allow to stay if evicted. the ci

san francisco has been paving the way for the rest of country. we are grateful because we have this in order and affordable care act has more chances to be more successful in san francisco than anywhere else in the country. that is despite the fact that we are living in one of the most expensive if not the most expensive city in the country. the legislation that i'm introducing today and i want to thank supervisor avalos, supervisor mar and kim for their cosponsorship is legislation that is essentially at it's core maximizes the benefits of how the the affordable care act and housing security ordinance interact so we maximize the number of san franciscans that are actually insured. since the mayor release temperature final report from the universal health council that met over the course of 4 months from september to december of last year, we have been working with health care experts to figure out how do we live up to the objectives, the maybe objective outlined by the council to maximize people's access to health care and insurance. there are a

it's a big accomplishment for san francisco. we want to be very clear that the sfpuc likes go solar s.f., we think there is a lot of value added to diversifying the production of renewable power and locally generating those in our city. and we're very proud of what we, with your support as the board appropriations, have been able to accomplish in san francisco. as a second point, as you consider future funding for this program -- and i know you do deliberations on an $8 billion budget of which ours is a smaller 13% or so of the total, but nevertheless every dollar is important and we want to provide a broader context for you as you look at specifically our budget in the coming weeks, in may as well in particular. let me provide a bit of background to put it into context. hetch hetchy power has provided many benefits to the city, and we've been generating power since 1918. nearly 100 years we've been generating greenhouse gas free energy for the city central services. this saves the general fund $50 million a year. i think that's

san francisco is notorious for this. i was overseas 31 months going out of an airplane, in three explosions. i'm a disabled american veteran. and when i came back, they said anythingers couldn't get in the teamsters because i'm an engineer ~. how do you think i felt? how do you think we feel that every time we look up, every time the mean and ugly face of racism peeps up? and that's all we're talking about. i don't know who brought this issue back up again. we thought it was settled. it ain't settled. my only thing for any of you is this. is that, you know, jewish people, i imagine, when hitler was on the reign, they thought it was just the drunks and the dope addicts. it was all right until he knocked or their door. so, you guys got to understand this. this is -- san francisco needs some policy changes. it's absolutely no reason for us to have to come down here about an issue that's already been decided. why are we here? and i didn't mind coming down here because my senior pastor, my very close friend, called my house a
