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

i know that we have a number of speakers but can i ask you to talk about the one on haight that may not continue -- i think it's on haight street and any concerns that have a risen over the years and concerns over parklets. >> yes, great question. there was a parklet that went on in haight street and the applicant lost the lease and there was a dispute over the business and we tried to work with the new owners and the old owner and it wasn't maintained and the owners wanted us to wait until the litigation is over and asked them to remove it. there was a public hearing and said the parklet should be removed and the parklet has been removed and i just want to say i think it's really important when we go to neighborhoods and we sort of -- part of the argument for the spaces is they're temporary and if things aren't working we can take them out and in this case this is an example of one that wasn't working and for us to go to neighborhoods and put the spaces in we need to work with the people that we're talking to and the neighborhoods and remove them is part of the deal. if you're not taki

it happened at haight and entrance of golden gate park.le-- a male and a female were stabbed around 2:30 this morning. they were both transported to s-f general with life threatening injuries. two male suspects driving a maroon vehicle fled the scene. >> we are following the latest with the bart's strike, as a second strike could be just four days away. kron4 will tran is live at the west oakland bart station. >> we are hoping that things will be worked out and no deal has been in place. they are frustrated as they always have been. the good news is that that will meet again in about 2 1/2 hours and we will be there. in the meantime, the trains are still running. if you remove the train that means that 400,000 bart riders will be on the buses. this will impact everyone. >> when you come down here and talk with people everybody, is fully aware of what is going on. they're already making plans come monday should there not be a deal in place. >> it is a tough situation. this is want to affect everyone who work in the bay area. it is unfair bu
