local chains. so, a chain store that has a local presence as part of local. >> right. well it's not about bashing the chain stores. but it's important for a campaign to really resonate with the public, especially with small business owners, to focus on locally owned independent businesses. that's what people really care about in the community. and it's understandable on the part of some governments, because they focus largely on sales tax revenue, about bringing more revenue to fund their programs. but that's really not a campaign theme that's going to resonate with the public. so those that are inclusive of any business based on geography rather than being rooted in the community, we haven't found to stick around very long or have much impact. >> right. because you think of buy local as something that is authentically part of the community, and so if your campaign itself is not authentic, it's just simple marketing, right? it's not going to resonate with people as well. let's move on to the next o

when you spend local, your money stays local. whether you're shopping for food, grabbing a quick item from the store, or searching for a local service provider. a simple shift in the way you spend can help support and improve the quality of life for your local community. >> every time you spend $100, roughly $43 to $45 of those dollars will stay in your community and recirculate if you choose to spend them at a locally owned business. if you take that same $100 and spend it at a non-local corporate chain store, you know only $13 is going to stay. that money just leaves your community almost entirely. >> the statewide 10% shift campaign spearheaded by local first arizona is getting the word out that making the simple choice of shifting 10% of your spending to a local business can have a big impact. >> what we're saying is, let's all be mindful of where our money goes when we spend it, and understand the local business, in turn, is going to have a local accountant or graphic designer or web designer, and that money stays and recirc

i am reapplying for the potion of local homeless coordinating board. when i applied initially and started by job i didn't realize what this is and all of the issues and challenges in san francisco. i am a formerly homeless person myself and i thought i knew the ins and out of the homeless and governing of the homeless community and man i didn't know qawt but i am learning it. i thought this thing -- my involvement would be two, three hours a month and that's turn into quite a bit more. seems like i am down here everyday in the homeless communities because i have so much interest and concern. i take a day like today and windy and cold and i went by several providers this morning and everyone is full. we have a problem in san francisco and i am sure chicago and detroit can say the same thing but we have a problem in san francisco and it's not getting better. i would like to see it get better. i spend time now trying to build a community. we are getting an influxion i call them immigrants but from other parts of the country and citizen it is and moving in

but the local governments speeding up the building process are hitting a road block as many locals oppose the plans. >> reporter: this ward in tokyo has one of the longest waiting lists for day care in japan. over the next five years, the ward plans to build 29 new day-care centers. last year, it appointed a special team to speed up the process. they hired a real estate expert to get some know-how. the ward is looking for possible sites for new centers. on this day, they met local land owners and asked for more information about new locations. while day-care centers are going up in some neighborhoods, a number of locals are putting up resistance. >> translator: it won't be a comfortable residential neighborhood anymore. i bought this house because it's quiet here. >> reporter: the department hears similar concerns almost every day. some locals are also concerned about parents' bad manners and the traffic congestion they cause. >> translator: we're trying to convince the residents by saying we will operate this facility with respect for the community. >> reporter: in other parts of the cou

in terms of getting local workers on to local projects. here's an aggregation of the local work force hours. when i say aggregation it's an aggregation of all active in progress projects that we last reported and then the new contract bs that came into play so on an aggregated basis we're looking at about 20% of san francisco citizens and i've provided details of a break down of bay view hunters point, the shipyard, mission bay, transbay and others. for the bay view hunters point we're at 52% so it was lower this past quarter. bay view hunters point at 44.9. again, we -- i'm sorry, it's right under here so 44.9 so for hunters point shipyard it's at 44.9%. again, it's showing promise. we would expect that in the report that i'll have to bump up. mission bay, transbay, those are more of a challenge, i would say at 26 and 24% and in other areas at 25%. our goal is aggressive, it's at 50%. i want to say the city's local mandatory hiring program, the construction work force program, they goal is currently at 30% so from some of the other areas

local architects get hurt. why it's important we reverse the hurt and promote the idea such as this creating a specific category for architecture is your local architects, we find, are more predisposed and adept in knowing what are the local community values in design, what are the ways that promote the local community work force, what is a way to promote the opportunities to increase the efficiencies of working with labor organizations, building trade unions, to create a partnership that is so great, can be so vibrant if we can reverse that trend, promote our local architects before we lose them. >> thank you, are there any other members of the public who would like to give testimony at this time? seeing none, public portion is closed. president chiu. >> often times many of our proposals here are described with many words. i've never had legislation described as carrot-like but i hope the 76 pages we have over the next week with a couple tweaks can be formed as a fully fledged carrot because the intention is a
