kim: ok. thank you so much, mr. weaver. >> ok. >> supervisor kim: thank you for being here and i know your long commitment to this neighborhood, appreciate seeing you here. i'm so sorry, supervisor brown has questions as well. i'm so sorry. >> supervisor brown: that's ok. thank you, mr. weaver for coming back. it sounds like the ocean avenue c.b.d. is doing some great things for the commercial corridor, and the community. the but my question, on ocean avenue, has a very diverse community with many chinese language merchants. and what are you doing to provide language appropriate outreach to these merchants? >> this is a problem we have recognized, was talked about last year as well. what we are trying to do is to get a chinese speaking small business manager. we have not been able to do that. it's difficult to find such a person. we have talked about other alternative ways rather than just advertising, and we have come up with the idea of trying to get an internship program or programs going at s.f. state where stude

kim? >> so the sunset is definitely very residential, and it has historically been very family friendly, although the up tick in crime has put that in question. like mr. murphy has said, we have a lot of investors holding onto property, trying to make a quick buck off of them, renting them out for a week or a month at a time. we have this constantly shifting tourist base, and how are we going to be able to keep an eye -- like, make sure we have a consistent neighborhood if we have new neighbors all the time? so we need to make these vacant units actually apartments so that people can live in them. i'm lucky to live right by ortega library, but we need more facilities like that in our district. we need more libraries, and we don't even have a ccsf campus in our neighborhood, and that's something that i would love to push for. >> thank you very much. now we're going to move onto the next question that deals with transportation, and we're going to go to mr. mcneil. what is your opinion on the el ta

kim? >> so like many people who spoke before me said, cannabis is now legal in the state of california and in san francisco, and we have plenty of older individuals or people who have mobility issues or other kinds of mental issue that actually require marijuana, and i would rather not stand between them and the accessibility of medical marijuana. that said, i do know the gentrification effects that cannabis dispensaries can have. that's why they imposed a blanket ban in chinatown, and that's the thing that we don't need, is we don't need cannabis dispensaries attracting all kinds of tourists and increasing property values for people who just want to be able to live and not be displaced from their apartments. >> thank you very much. mr. mar? >> some of you may have seen the examiner article that came out this week that sort of highlighted my position on cannabis dispensaries in the sunset. my position is the three that have been proposed so far in our neighborhood have been strongly opposed by n

>> supervisor kim: what has the task force done and accomplished so far? >> well, the fact that we pulled out lets me know that again, we need to sit down collectively and make sure that we are doing things the right way. >> supervisor kim: okay. i see that there are other colleagues that want to ask questions, as well. >> president cohen: thank you. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: i just want to make sure you understand the question clearly. because when supervisor kim asked miss tailor do you support surgicaling someone based on country of origin, do you support that? >> no. >> supervisor safai: okay. i just wanted to clarify that. i know this is being asked on the spot, but i also agree with supervisor kim, this is something that's very important. i think in general, the concept is, you know, there was a joint terrorism task force. this is something that was done in collaboration with the police department. there were a lot of communities of concern, particularly mine, folks in the muslim community, focused because of their religious believes. do

don't have, we don't have data because we don't have an electronic personnel file, so we do not have -- >> supervisor kim: you have to ask the public, with he have to get through the hearing, so if we -- i know the boos are not to mickey directly but to the data and i share all the concerns that are stated, but we will allow members of the public to speak on this matter. >> thank you, supervisor. >> we will make sure, and people can review it. >> and i would note, supervisor, that the, all the data that we are prescribing is in aggregate form. three releases of data to them to date, from our people soft system. my point that i was making before was that we are gathering -- not an electron electronic -- it does show the data points that i have raised. you'll note from the mayor's executive directive, she has requested d.h.r. identify and move towards and will be asking for funding for an electronic personnel file system which will allow us to get the data more readily, in the shorter term as directed by the mayor will be collecting that and i guess using excel spread sheets from the departments to partner

kim? >> so it's clear that it's not just our emergency infrastructure that's outdated. we have a lot of public service infrastructure that needs replacing. we have storm drains that go straight out to the bay or to the ocean, and we have our drinking water hooked up to irrelevaigation systems. it's clear that the entire infrastructure needs an overhaul, and that becomes more dire at the risk of a major geological event threatens us. that might happen at any moment, so i agree with mr. tom that we need an overhaul of that system. [please stand by] . >> thank you very much. and mr. mcneil? >> i definitely would favor the community approach. i'm a nert, you can look that up, and i think the system does need repairing. the west side of town is not prepared for a major emergency, and we need to do something about that. generally, i think this has to do with how we treat infrastructure in the city. we do a terrible job. there are some thing that's we need to do -- some things that we need to do, and i

place here over the last few days last week many of them here carrying signs saying refugees while kim so far it's very peaceful the next couple of hours several rival protests to get underway one organized by the anti islam movement and alongside the far right party the a.f.d. so when that starts to get under way in the coming hours there is concern of course that these two sides will meet took place on monday there are a lot of police here on the streets trying to keep the two sides apart trying to keep the peace but there are of course concerns among many here that we could see a repeat of the violence on monday night charlotte so you are describing a city that's clearly divided over this issue what are people around you saying. a number of the people that we've spoken to here at the counter protest say they want to make clear that a lot of the images that are going around the wild from chemists showing a lot of violence on the street does not represent this city they say this is a place where refugees are welcome but of course that's only half the story there are a number of people he

was criticized by leaders all over the world but yet president trump knew how to speak to chairman kim so he got chairman kim said come to speak with him and the other words he got them to the table and look what we got return we got our hostages back we're getting our killed in action in korea back. kim is now talking to the south korean president there's been no ballistic missile test so we did receive a lot and what the president is signaling to chairman kim just stay the course keep on thinking about your future you keep your word we'll keep ours remember president trump is not a politician he is a businessman and he would rather sit across the table they go shading agreements than rather and then up on a battlefield fighting for whatever issue is presently being discussed so so this is a model and it's working very well so does that mean he will just leave aside all the other issues which other countries are concerned about about malnutrition in north korea or about human rights about who leads it will sorts of issues which have not been raised well the united states look we're proba

so embarrassed. how do you tell someone someone put boogers on you. be don't work in the sand box. >> supervisor kim: thank you, thank you. and so, i'm going to call, i see more than 15 people in line and i only called 15 names, 15 other speaker cards. the reason i ask you to respect the calling the speaker cards is a, they are your colleagues and members of your union and they did sign the cards expecting to speak at that time. so, i'm going to call the next 15 speakers cards. madeline mcmilan, john wadsworth, steve zolta, queen vanessa banks. dmitrious cutin, evelyn, lon, estelle yancey, john wadsworth, rudy gonzales, larry, skyler, michelle, and jessica brown. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor kim, supervisor brown, supervisor fewer. and the other supervisors who have sponsored today's hearing. i think the questions we need to ask of the city and h.r., why is it that 50% of the terminations last year were of african american workers. why is it that 25% of probation releases were african american workers. why is it that 40% of medical separations in the past five years were african american work

somewhere in the neighborhood of ninety to one hundred million dollars a year to north korea and so kim would like that opened again boone wants it open but there's a problem of u.s. and u.n. sanctions and so at the particular time i think that kim wants to get on his side to gang up against the united states according to bob woodward's new book fear trump in the white house former economic adviser gary cohn snatched the leather of the president's desk if sign would have was drawn the united states from the u.s. korea free trade agreement known as chorus what do you make of that. the that's really interesting you know president trump wanted to renegotiate course and a lot of people in washington regardless of their political party also wanted the same thing what trump was different i think than from everybody else was that he was actually willing to terminate that agreement as a bargaining ploy you know as it turned out chorus was renegotiated but there weren't really that many changes so you know at the end i guess gary calling got what he wanted and trump went along with that so you k

. >> supervisor kim: and who are they getting hit by, given the limited number of vehicles on market street? >> so i think it's a combination of vehicles -- i don't have the data here with me, but it's vehicles, transit vehicles, delivery vehicles, as well. i think there may have been some bicycle involved collisions, as well. >> supervisor kim: where a cyclist killed a pedestrian? >> no. i think cyclists may have been hit by cars or hit pedestrians. >> supervisor kim: i'm curious how many of these collisions include muni? >> i can get that for you. this is sort of the overview of all of the corridor and what's been happening over the past several years. >> supervisor kim: i only bring this up because i -- the ones that i remember in recent history involved a muni vehicle, and i think it really raises the question of the type of training that we're providing to our drivers, less than the engineering on the street. by the way, this is really helpful to see the data. i just want to understand why the injuries and fatalities are happening. i actually like that we've made it difficult for private vehi

so, i think this definitely needs to go forward. >> supervisor fewer: so, thank you chair kim. and thank you everyone who came out and gave testimony. yeah. so, this is pretty disturbing. i just think that you know, it's -- a lot of questions, actually. and i don't think there's enough time to really address them and actually i think it's going to require sort of a really a lot of data. so, but what is disturbing, i want to say off the bat, is that it is not an isolated incident what we are hearing from a single department. it is -- the district attorney, d.p.a., general hospital, laguna honda, sheriff's department, police department, medical examiners, m.t.a., rec and park, we are hearing it throughout all of our departments in the city and county of san francisco and i have to say it's extremely disturbing, when i hear of an isolated incident i see that sometimes as an isolated incident and i get it. but when i hear repeatedly about the lack of investigation on some of these complaints, that they have no merit, that people are being harassed to the point of physical deteriorat

[applause] >> supervisor kim: so this building was constructed in 1968, so this is the 50th anniversary of 990 pacific. with the 74 studios and 18 one bedrooms, it serves our most vulnerable tenants. one of the tenants that just moved into this building is 104 years old. [applause] >> supervisor kim: now you shouldn't have to wait to turn 100 to win affordable housing, but it is still a tremendous story of what this project means, and i again want to honor our late mayor, ed lee, who always wanted to make housing as what he's known for. i want to thank working with the mayor's office of housing, and olson lee, and now, mayor london breed. this work and project is so important to everybody involved. >> we're going to do the ribbon cutting first, and then, the great speeches. the mayor and others have to leave real soon. >> could we have dar and joy in addition to the residents, please? and we will have people speaking after the ribbon cutting, so again, please remain in your seats. >> okay. please remain in your seats and we'll continue the program. mayor breed also had tea and dumpling

kim? >> so -- so somehow, out of all the candidated that are qualified, i've been in this race the longest. even though i don't have an great work history as some of these other history, somehow mike murphy and i have challenged the incumbents and changing the status quo. we've had a history of supervisors and administration that give tax breaks to big tech and to real estate developers, and you know, that needs to stop. we need to cut the money out of san francisco's politics and give power back to the people. and that's what we're standing for, and, you know, we have a rampg choice voting system, so -- rank choice voting system, so it doesn't have to be vote for your favorite. vote for your three favorites who give your voice back -- like, put your voice back in city hall. >> thank you very much, and miss basan. >> i've lived in san francisco since 1960, and i have been a homeowner with my husband in the sunset on noriega street for 25 years. you sat here today, thank you very much, and you he

. >> host: so only the kim family was allowed to have contents in train number nine. what kind of contents were on the train? >> guest: i remember a big pair was really big and the person who is carrying that how it is being produced because those are foods transferred to pyongyang and there was more food items they were transporting to pyongyang. >> host: yeonmi, in your book "in order to live," you write that you would've done anything for a bowl of rice. >> guest: yeah. >> host: anything. what does that mean? >> guest: now i'm eating salad if that is -- to me a salad meant food. i was so offended -- [inaudible] i had to eat them because i was starting when i was young. hunger was just never hunger. it was daily life that when you're hungry, it's a direct relay to your life, your entire existence. to this day i have a fluted session that i get panic attacks if i know that i don't have food i can eat. when we were camping i had to know how easily can i have access to food. and when i get at night to this day, i want to eat as much as i can because i know when i was d

>> supervisor peskin: actually, supervisor kim just made my point on 1506 that was pointed on in 2017 by each and every member of the current board, so thank you, supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim: thank you, thank you, supervisor peskin and fewer for bringing this up. i have that difficult job of really trying to provide different perspectives on this issue. i disagree with some of the public comment that i've never been for tenants, as someone who was a renter pretty much my entire adult life, having benefitted from controlled rent myself. however, i think that at the ground level, what i hear day-to-day from our residents, especially the single-family homeowners is something that they're very concerned about the repeal of costa hawkins and what that might do to their situation and their homes. and so while i want to support this dialogue regarding proposition 10, i do want to propose potentially some amendments to this resolution. i would like to pass it out to the full board so that we can vote this out at the board of supervisors, but just some affirmation of rent control, and any affirmation of rent control to new construction
