mr. davis, mr. everett and miss selby should the city assess fees on bicycle owners to pay for transportation improvements? >> i don't think so and i will tell you why because the city is moving in a direction that i think they should be which is encouraging more people to get out of their cars and to get onto bikes and to use our streets and walk the streets. you know, i think we need to be visionary about getting and meeting our goals. we have a goal of 20% of all trips in san francisco being taken on a bike by 2020. the bike coalition, which is one of my endorsements, as well district 5 group have been advocating for this connecting the city plan, the bike coalition for cross town bikeways to make our streets safer for bike riders. i think we need to move more in that direction and assessing fees on bike riders for ridion bikes is san francisco is not going to work towards the goal we have in the city now. >> thank you, mr. everett? >> i don't -- certainly i want to protect the right of people to

mr. davis? >> the sit/lie law is a perfect example of trying to address a symptom without curing the disease. we have massive inequitis in our society. that is apparent from the number of homeless people that we see on our streets in san francisco and it's a problem that is not just a san francisco problem. it's a problem that is experienced statewide. it's a national problem. and i think we need leaders at city hall who will be willing to step up and work with our state and national leaders to try to solve the problem of homelessness in america. one thing we do at the booker t. washington center to where i was recently president, building affordable housing half of had which will be dedicated to emancipated youth. so i think we really do need to look at the root cause of the issue. it's about inequity and how we provide supportive housing and mental health services and drug treatment and really look at the problem from its source. thank you. >> thank you. davis, miss olague and miss selby. >> c

mr. davis and miss selby. >> after $1.5 billion in public service sector cuts in san francisco since 2008, since our budget crisis, we can't balance our budget going forward on cuts alone. we have got to look for revenue with muni failing and unmaintained parks we need a comprehensive, aggressive revenue strategy. i was one of the activists and advocates who helped to get the gross receipts measure to the ballot and box g to actually start collecting gross receipts data. i would look at the real estate transfer tax and we were able to add significant revenue that way. he think i'm the only candidate here who has been talking extensively about a commercial tax rent. commercial property owners in the state of california have been on a tax holiday since prop 13 and under the reagan and bush eras. and we could use that revenue to fund our public schools and restore jtor city college. >> thank you, miss selby. >> two of the things that are being done this november and i would love for to you vote fo

mr. davissupervisors, good afternoon, my name is robert davis and i'm here to support the legislation. unfortunately the larger problem here, again, like with the last issue is enforcement. and the dbi's unwillingness or inability or whatever to enforce the blight laws, there are over 5800 open notices of violation in san francisco, dating back to 1994. '94 was significant because that is the year that the records wept went from paper to computer. >> how many different blightedÑ properties again? >> i can't speak to blighted properties. because the dbi can speak to that. a notice of violation is someone complained and dbi went out and wrote a notice. on the second complaint process. you can see there are 14 steps before the city attorney takes action and there are first notices, second notices, the list is extensive. after the notice of violations, the department of building inspection comes up with the director's hearing and send the notice of violation to the director. there is a director's h

. >> mr. davis >> let's be frank there are control interests in agenda at city hall and a cronyisticism that includes [hr-ufrpl/]ry condominium for the ultra rich, corporate tax breaks, chain stores and parking garages, a vision for san francisco that doesn't include a lot of everyday people. it's getting to where students and seniors on fixed incomes and young families and teachers and firefighters and everyday folks can no longer afford to live in san francisco. we have a crisis of affordability here. i think the city's economic development polices have a lot to do with why we're starting job/housing imbalance when you are so focused on the power elite, the twitter tax breaks and not focused, which i think we need to start to do. on the economic development interests of our small businesses. which are the life blood of the san francisco economy 80% of our economy is small business along our commercial corridors and most jobs are created by small businesses each year. the city needs to reorient its

i want to recognize now the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis. mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. and i want to thank my friend from illinois, mr. lipinski, for yielding to me. when i think of jerry costello, i think of the fact that those of us in illinois sort of had two go-to members of the transportation committee for many years. bill lipinski, who is the congressman's father, and jerry costello. we used to call them the gold dust twins. and one of the reasons is because they had such a great relationship and worked cooperatively to make sure that our state, the state of illinois, the home of abraham lincoln, was well taken care of in terms of infrastructure. but they also worked for the entire country. i had an opportunity to travel with jerry and his wonderful wife a number of times and, of course, she is a delightful lady who's a higher education administrator, the president of a community college. and other members of their family are engaged in public service as well as what they do privately. i've never known a more congenial member of this body, any other legislative bo

mrs. davis: thank you. thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to express my strong support for h.r. 1410 and also for h.r. 484. these resolutions really embody a great concern of many of my constituents at home as well as americans across this country. as americans, we often take for granted the rights and privileges that are guaranteed to each and every individual in this country. so we can speak out at town hall, we can protest in front of the capitol steps and when all else fails, we can register our vote at the polls to make our voices heard. those rights and privileges that we enjoy are being denied every single day. to the people of vietnam. so today we vote on these two bills that send a clear message that these abuses will not be tolerated. we must make it clear that progress needs to be made on these issues before we can move forward on other issues that are important to both of our countries, including those issues of trade. our efforts are aimed at bringing about a brighter future in vietnam, where citizen are not in pris
