the consumer product safety commission is a small federal agency with a huge mission. it is to be the cop on the beat when protecting consumers from potentially dangerous products. time and time again though over the last two years, i've seen a pattern with the commission where it is deferred to the industry on critical product safety matters instead of being more aggressive as a commission. from the get go, almost all of the consumer commission's pending product rule makings were determine natured. for instance, instead of setting mandatory standards for window blinds to protect kids if cord strangulation, they set their own standard. another rule involves shut off switches for portable generators which are commonly used after a power failure is caused by hurricanes or winter storms that we get in the pacific northwest. the xwen rateors propose a carbon monoxide poisoning threat. the portable generator manufacturers association to write their own standards. the failures have not just been with the safety standards intended to protect against dangerous products. also, t

especially because i used to serve on the san francisco redevelopment agency commission and i remember when mission bay was just taking shape in san francisco and the conversations around the housing that we know would be built here and we fought really hard and because of that fight, 30% of all the new housing will go to support families that are low and middle income residents. which brings us here today. 143 units of family housing and senior housing for people who in some cases were displaced long ago. i grew up in the western edition community and there were a lot of mistakes in that community. homes were torn down. promises were made and no housing was provided for those people and families. in these 143 units, of affordable housing, we have 10 certificate of preference holders. which is absolutely amazing.
