how will you deal with the folks that hang out on haight street and the issue of homelessness? >> well, i think that's a real -- it's a city-wide issue and i think part of what we have to do is work together to deal with it, just like public safety. it's a work in progress. it's not something that you fix and you move on. it's something that you continue to work with. i mean, san francisco is an attractive place to people in general, so, we are going to get folks from all over, homeless, nonhomeless, and i think part of the balance is making sure that social service agencies that provide support to homeless individuals are available, that they have the resources they need, but they're held accountable to working and talking to folks who are interested in services. and the other issue is that, you know, we do have, sadly, an increase in crime in the area as a result of an increase in the homeless population. and, so, having a police presence, which we've had, park station has been really active in not only being out there and enforcing the law, but doing what police are not requ

we're looking at close to $2 million in cuts to a number of their locations in the haight. and i just overall have a real concern with the proposed cuts and what this would mean to the ability to provide services, especially because of the challenges that we're dealing with specific to our blake and the haight/ashbury, and having place like larkin street youth and walden house and other places that are usually at capacity, having the ability to take on the challenges that we face as a city means this could be setting us back. and, so, just wondering do we have any plans to try and address some of these proposed cuts? >> on the issue of walden and health right 360, those cuts were backfilled by the mayor's office through the original mayor's budget. so -- >> all of them? >> all of them, all of them. >> okay.

one of them is randy haight. >> this is no way to spend your life. about being in prison and being on death row, especially, because there's so much idle time, is you've got a lot of time to examine yourself, think about the things that you've done, think about the opportunities you had in life and squandered them. >> haight ended up here after he escaped from another jail and robbed and killed two people. >> the jury found me guilty of a double murder and robbery and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, and that's what i'm on death row for. i know that what i done was wrong. i deserve to be where i'm at, whether they execute me or i spend the rest of my life in prison. i've accepted that. >> the men who share the death row facility rarely break the rules of the castle. >> their basic behavior is directly related to them being able to say in their clemency plea that we were good guys while we were there. we didn't -- we didn't create havoc. we weren't violent, we weren't all of these things and try to obviously portray the good things

own little sections of the city, but how do we come together to make sure that, for example, upper haight, a lot of great businesses, a lot of great opportunities for internships for young people to grow and work in these particular businesses. so, my goal as supervisor is to begin the process of connecting people so that, you know, we have folks who are living in the community, working in the community, growing in the community, and supporting one another. it's one of the things i care about most and i'm really looking forward to bringing people together as a survivor. >> great. it looks like we're out of time so we're going to have to wrap up. but thank you so much for joining us today on sfgovttv meet your supervisor. >> thank you for talking to me. >> we were talk to london breed from district 5. watch for the next episode of meet your supervisor when we'll be back with another one of our city supervisors. for sfgov tv, i'm linda melkonian. ♪ ♪ >> you're watching quick bites, the show that is san francisco. and today you're in for a real treat. oh, my! food inspired by the mediterrane

department of public health which is the school based clinic and the youth clinic located in the haight and serves young people from around the city. in the training we do a pretest and talk about the background of 12 n and the goals and objectives and everyone watches a video which is about 30 minutes long and a post test and we open it up for discussion. and i think that in creating this video, again because looking at dph with so many employees we had to look at how we can get something out to many people so that is the video that we can make it web based and it has been made web based but the pilot also taught us that the ability to have the discussion among staff is pretty critical to this process. watching the video will impact you some what, being able to talk about and ask questions is i have to say, in my own mind really cheated this process. that is a good news and i think that we can make a better impact that way and the bad news is that costs a lot more money because you have facility tores but that is the
