i'm honored to be here and i look forward to working with you to make san francisco the safest large city in america. >> finally but most importantly, the police commission, as i said earlier, did a thorough job. it was a difficult job because it was is the out to be the highest standards possible and to have a community process, a process that reflected an openness, a transparency, yet kept the pledge to the community to find the best and highest standards for selecting a chief and presenting to me that opportunity to do so. so i want to present to you and also thank the police commission through the leadership of that group. >> thank you very much. today is a great honor to stand here on behalf of my fellow commissioners who i would like to thank. dr. joseph marshal, this commission took this [naming the commissioners] -- 100 days ago this commission announced they would be looking for a new police chief. we worked diligently and had worked with members of the family and i want to thank my assistances who ran the process, talked to the candidates and handled the interviews, transportati

san francisco is often known for being a large city, in this case, we have a unique history with the death penalty. during his reelection campaign of 1999, terrence hallohan said that they would not seek the death penalty for any offense in san francisco. he was reelected by a close margin a few years later, and she took the position that she would not bring any death penalty case. and she was reelected with the same conditions as part of the reelection campaign. harris was elected to be the state of the new general, and gavin newsom elected george gascon to be the district attorney. when asked his position on the death penaltiy, hy, he said he wouldn't rule it out. this raised a lot of concern among opponents of the death penalty who thought this would be a step backward. he has written against the death penalty, and adheres to san francisco values. san francisco has not had a jury return a death verdict since 1989, which was 10 years before he said his office would not seek the death penalty. we thought this particular issue wanted a discussion and we are pleased to have a palace h

i do think a large part of our problems in the city are financial, economic. with my background, i did think i would be able to add a lot of value, and that is why i decided to get into politics. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum? >> i have to say, i'm one that has been trying to get away from the political spectrum dialogue in san francisco. i would just say, generically, i think i am in the middle. i'm a moderate person. nationally, i think we are a little bit left in san francisco, but i think i am a socially liberal person. that is what i tend to practice what i preach. >> what did you learn campaigning for supervisor, and was there anything that surprised you? >> that is a great question. i have never run for office before. i am new to the political world. for me, the learning curve was the best he could be. there were a lot of lessons

like many other cities across the country, san francisco's preservation movement emerged largely because of the building frenzy of the 1960's. entire neighborhoods were being leveled in the name of urban renewal. advocacy efforts were closely linked to other efforts of civic pride in san francisco such as the freeway revault. formed in 1971, san francisco heritage's first large-scale project was to rescue a dozen victorian slated for demolition. the mass relocation effort remains the largest building moving project in the history of san francisco. i have a number of slides that are on an automatic slide show, which was not my intent so i will let them run while i go through my remarks. apologize for that. the first historic survey that was undertaken in san francisco was actually by the junior league of san francisco, who conducted the first survey of san francisco county roughly 200 buildings published in the book here today. that survey became first historic survey to be adopted by the board of supervisors in 1968. i note that because of the current scrutiny of ongoing regarding the ci

study san francisco has a higher than average rate of pedestrian fatalities compared with other large cities. now, the study is done by a group called transportation for america. in most big cities people who walk account for about 12% of all traffic deaths, but here in san francisco it's nearly 52%. the group behind the study's coalition of transit and planning groups and they say the high rate could be tied to the city's efforts to transform streets from busy thoroughfares into slower moving roads, which could actually make it safer for drivers but not so much for walkers. they found that in their opinion money is key to improving things and mayor ed lee has approved or is pushing for a $250 million bond for better roads and street scape improvements. they think that is the key for making it safer for people who walk. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the east bay." >>> well, this morning an east bay officer is out of a job after being charged with stealing drugs and selling them on the streets. san ramon's police chief says 38-year-old lewis lombardi is no longer

as mayor goldsmith has said not as large as new york or chicago but one of america's major cities, st. pete, for those of you who aren't that familiar with it. in the census when i took office was the 68th in florida, it's a big enough city so that it can provide some lessons but it's, frankly, a small enough city where it might be easier to get your arms around some of the challenges quicker if you start to apply some ideas to make it work. the second part of the city is the life of a mayor because there's challenges that you have and there's opportunities you have. and a lot of people don't quite see the day-to-day life mayor. i know mayor goldsmith could testify a lot but that -- how does that impact your family? how does your faith interplay. we received some criticism for that. i think faith is a big part of all of us and i think that's important to see how it plays out. so we talk about those things. and it comes from the perspective of, of course, my experience which is in st. petersburg, but also from the perspective of a mayor because the mayor is the leader of the city. the
