they take muni.t's an hour on muni one way which is where my son goes to high school, and plays soccer. i find this entire process is coming from a broken point of view, simply building upon our acknowledged insufficient system is not good enough. working within resources and having one fight over another. distance, stops, service, tradeoffs. is there a single car driver in this town that has to think about this? if you have access to a vehicle, can go anywhere you want. and for most of the city, it's free. no one is waiting five, eight, 15 minutes for their car to start. they just get in and go. our state and this planet are burning and this process pours gasoline upon it within an austerity approach. that's events restore lines, plan new ones. optimize from there. build lrt and a bike network now. then increasing the rates to reflect the value of the land. if you need help pricing that, feel free to use the assessment for the tiny lot that our home is built upon. instead, make driving difficult and

probably in muni just as well. and we've had a really forth coming campaign that has been so validating to the young women who put this campaign together with alicia trove of the bart media and public affairs. so i just want to say that bob has really been a visionary leader for this agency. and we really do need our collaboration with the t.a. and it's -- i just tell you, we feel good every day having the type of leadership that bob and his executive team and i guess i should say that we're very happy that we were able to poach alara from the city and county of san francisco to come and be the assistant general manager at administration and we're happy to have him with us. bob? >> thank you, director for that lovely introduction. i'm not sure i've had such a lovely introduction my whole career. so thank you for that. chair person, commissioners, it's an honor to be here. i see director lee is on the call. i see her on the screen as well. it's a pleasure to be here. it's a privilege to be here. and so i just wanted

i walk, i bike, i take muni. although the pandemic has made clear the need for safe open space for everybody, we should maintain j.f.k. as a car free space long after the pandemic is over. i thank you for the work you have done on that and for the proposal on the table. i agree with most of the other callers and strongly urge you to keep the eighth avenue entrance open for muni only. there is the garage two blocks away that we do need to prioritize access. i think muni is the best way to do that and for people who do need to drive and be dropped off. the garage entrance is two blocks away. we should be utilizing that an advertising that resource a lot more. taxpayers paid for it. we authorized it under proposition jay. we need to be taking better advantage of that. and pricing the garage accordingly. we should also be pricing -- it's clear we need to be praising parking in the park along m.l.k., and there is way too much parking in a way too much car traffic on the southern entrance of ninth avenue and m.l.k., wh

because that's bart muni station. that will now have affordable housing. so it's such an important hub for both district 11, 7 and also the connection to city college. thank you so much for that and your collaboration on the dream of having a subway connection connecting north and the west side. i'm not giving up on that [laughter], so i think that i appreciate your efforts. my question was, director duffy just touched on, the muni, the bart -- free bart for youth. basically, if you could talk about that just a little bit and any future plans for it beyond what you're doing for the pandemic. we have implemented that as you know here in san francisco for this budget year. i'm hoping that it will remain because it's such an important part of not just everyday life of youth, but also training a new generation of riders. >> yeah. so i'll let pam give you the specifics, commissioner, but the one thing that we can -- that i would ask us to think about is, you know, when i'm out in the system and i'm talking to youth riders. i was just out at 16 and balboa park n

we lost a member of the sfmta muni family. ayesha tajackson passed away by complication caused by covid-19. she worked at sfmta for more than six years and she was a born and raised san franciscan with a large family of 10 sisters and three brothers and survived by her husband and three children and two grandchildren. she was known for her tell it all attitude, her big heart, her infectious smile and support for young people in the community. our sympathis are with her family whose are dealing with this tragedy created by the pandemic. so, with that, we'll close in her honor and we are so sad for the loss. i know our family of the broader sfmta community is very much impacted and we have extended resources for those who need them. also, because of the covid-19 health emergency, we are still meeting virtually and everyone is participating via teleconference. in our published notice for this meeting and on our web page, we ask for the found to participate remotely by writing to the board or leaving a voice mail message. for all

i can't remember where the fire was, but from muni running over a hose line -- and i should know the name of whatever the metal end of the hose is, basically incapacitating that person, and i think they were tired or were -- became disabled. am i correct about that? >> madam president, you are -- you are correct. the firefighter's name is matt dan. he's an athletic firefighter, station one, was in front of a high-rise fire on state street, when a bus moved down the street and contacted a supply line, and all of that force burst the supply line. when that happened, it knocked him off his feet. fortunately, he was taken to san francisco general, one of the few hospitals in the area that could have saved his life. once then, they had to open his skull and perform additional treatment because he was not going to survive. i was very fortunate, he came to headquarters, and he walks with a normal gait, and he has great command over his language. he's in rehabilitation constantly. that's the beginning of what was a promising career. he's struggling to rehabilitation. his desire is to one day

muni, the school district hasn't run muni and sfmta. we understand that they are working on ensuring that day trappers or the buses that generally service our schools, are the ones that will return to regular service. masking is required on all muni buses. >> we have lots of questions. we're going to get to them as much as possible in the last eight minutes. we're getting lot of questions related to close contact. the question is, can students who get exposed to covid-19 and get no or mild symptoms still be able to attend school virtually? i believe that is for the superintendent or chief smith. >> as dr. matthew said, for students who are quarantining, the school will be providing instructional material for them during their quarantine period. there will not be a way that the students can join the online program that's limited for students with particular circumstances. we will not -- you're going to go into quarantine and switch to online program. >> thank you. the next question is for both dr. woolridge and dr. babba. why is cohortin

muni bonds and "what'd you miss? ."omaine: i have never been this excited for a reasonable bond conversation. caroline: you can tell by the tone of your voice. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ caroline: let's bring you some breaking news regarding crypto. robinhood, we understand, is testing a new crypto wallet and asset features within its app. many have been anticipating this. this is being uncovered by our own mark gurman. a new version of the iphone app, saying the company's software is including pages for users to sign up for a crypto wallet user. taylor: for our u.s. audience, caroline means beta. adena: how did -- taylor: -- caroline: how did the romans say eddie? probably my way. taylor: we have been looking and examining the bottom-line impact of diversity. our focus this week, the muni market. a stanford professor and author of "the bonds of inequality: debt and the making of the american city," destin jenkins, argues that the history of inequality in the 21st century in america is in part the history of municipal debt

you've got muni at generational lows and relative yield of muni versus corporate also at lows.we see in the surveys is investors are more likely to be buying because they have too much cash. only 10% of respondents said it had to do with taxes >> this is fascinating this is a theme we're seeing cropping up elsewhere. you're telling me investors have a problem and that problem is too much cash? that's just such an extraordinary thing to think about. >> yeah. >> so, they're really not motivated by tax efficiency. they're simply looking -- and my guess is these are people who already have a stock market exposure, may not be interested in bond exposure given where prices and yields are. looking around, where else do i two? real estate investment do you think that's what's driving the attractiveness of muni >> i think that's correct. if you look at what's happened, equities have rallied substantially, bonds haven't moved too much, bond allocation is greater than it was creates demand and fixed income in the portfolio what that does is set up a risk in the muni market if the fed's ex

we certainly accept and appreciate the offer from muni. we have been in conversation with d.t.a., about exploring options and working with the city, the appropriate department, to look at two things: the wayfinding improvements that will help passengers navigate between the two facilities, and the appropriate street escape along the field corridor. we might find there will be other corridors they will ask us to look at it. but the intent is to appropriate street scapes. it will be in coordination with c.t.a., one of our funding partners, and, of course, the city of phran sanfrancisco to plan and make sure those streets and acceptable and will work. >> director lipkin (indiscernable) i would ask you to turn your video off and just use audio. >> yeah, i cut out there for a little while. but i think i heard at least good chunks of the answer. and i want to reiterate that as we move that forward at some point to continue to see progress on those pieces as well as the rest of the items. that's all. >> thank you, director lipkin. director shaw?

- threw on their equipment and jumped on their bus and ran to the fire, and you can see there is a muni vehicle that ran right over our hose line, and that is unacceptable. we do on going training with the simulator, but that drive said he didn't know she wasn't permitted to drive over a fire hose. we are working to get information out about that. it is illegal to drive over a fire hose, and it is illegal not to follow the directions of fire at a fire emergency. public information officer has been busy. built a cool kit here where you can go out in the community and do a presentation. he's always helping the community, educating the community to not have open flames. we've had a lot of fires in encampments, and we're teaching muni about fire scene safety, what they should do when they approach these things. we're doing the same thing with police, and we're having a great deal of success here. just wanted to highlight some of our members of our family that had particular hardships, and members reached into their own pockets to help them get through the day. this sort of thing goes on all
