mr. thornly, on lunch again, mr. henderson. >> i'll just step ahead. good afternoon, committee members. i'm andy thornly, speaking as a neighbor, citizen. thank you, president breed, for bringing this forward. thank you supervisors kim and peskin for co-sponsoring. i'm supportive but very skeptical or worse of the notion of the loophole for on-site inclusionary. while we watch london t mayor of london has proposed to forbid any new parking in dense transit-rich areas of that great city on the notion that it will slow down transsit and make the streets less safe where we have high density. the same principle applies here. we really, really do want to add as much housing as we can in this part of town, especially for folks who have challenges affording market rate. that is just about everybody. so, yes, let's please have more below market rate. yes, let's have it on site. but please let's don't compromise safety of the seats. let's don't compromise the performance and the attractiveness of transit as we make the neighborhood more dense. again, i'll remind you that last year the board of su

mr. thornly is here. welcome. >> i'll take this spot. i don't have a presentation to make for you, if you don't mind. i'll just give you a verbal. i'm andy thornly of the pr*up transportation agency. we brought to the committee a little bit of legislative business. and pardon me. the sequence of things we are talking about, the motorized scooters first, i believe. let's see. let me verify that. so, we actually -- two items here. these are both mine. so, these both have to do with shared mobility. the s.f.s municipal transportation agency having watched with a small pilot how small changes to parking policy would support a shared electric moped system. we have scoot networks runninging the system in the city. we tried a year of relaxing time limits in resident permit areas. we decided from our analysis and listening to neighbors and your constituents that we should create a permit. we now created a shared electric moped parking permit for $325 a year. a qualified moped operator can get such a permit and scoot's moe -- mopeds are now all s

mr. thornly. all right. we're on to item number 5. surprise, surprise. madam clerk, would you call number 5? >> a hearing to examine the last 10 years of production and preservation of work force in middle class housing and development and preservation for the next 10 years, focusing on housing between 55% to 175% area median income. >> thank you. colleagues, this was sponsored by supervisor. i will turn it over to you. >> on october 3 of this year -- before we get to the presentation by departmental staff -- i called for this hearing to talk about work force and middle class housing in our city. and the reason why i wanted to talk about that in particular and to talk about what the projected development was and the preservation was and what had been done over the last 10 years is because it's become extremely, glaringly obvious to this body and to the members of the public and to others around san francisco that our city is polarizing. many would argue that we've done a significant job of building enough market-rate housing, but statistics would say the

mr. thornly and leavitt, more cars in the hub is going to be unworkable. it is going to be a major problem. from my perspective, i've been long advocating for zero parking in places like the hub. that is preferred but it is also good public policy. however, we have to realize that there are give and take process. here we are. we need to do these interim controls so it is my understanding that this is the best we can get done to get through with this. so it -- i reluctantly support this approach that supervisor kim has put forward. i do want to point out that in hayes valley, we have lots of both in-play and proposed affordable housing projects that have zero parking and it is the zero parking that makes it work. the zero parking made s.f. jazz work, the nonprofit performing arts center. it is making family housing at what was called parcel o on fell and laguna work. so, it is a little bit confusing, but it is what it is. i also hope that out of this process we don't forget about the regulation of t.n.c., the wind impacks on biasles and the e-commerce probl
