playground there. too dirty, too run down, to many needles. now the new are now part of their saturday. this is a start. a first step towards making our public spaces clean and safe. we have also seen our investments in community policing yield results. last year, we had a 18% drop in homicide, which coincides with a major reduction in gun violence for the second year in a row. in fact, we had a 25% increase in firearm fees, and a 30 5% decrease in gun violence. [applause] to put it simply, more guns off the streets, fewer crimes in homicides involving guns. we also had a nine% reduction in property crimes, including an 18 % drop in car break-ins, and a 13% drop in car thefts. we are, at last, reversing the carved reagan epidemic through the great work of our police department, we are working a dip -- making a difference on violent crimes and property crimes. more officers in our neighborhoods, and investments in cleaner, safer streets are all important. as we address these issues today , we also have to think about how to prevent them from happening in t

the playgrounds are retained and doubled down on their leverage so we have these gardens of delight. there are winding benches that protect planting that create a new garden setting for these playgrounds. we'red aing more planting in these gardens of memory inspired by the fact that this was, in fact, the old cemetery in the center of town and these elements and fragments from that cemetery were discovered in the construction of the garage underneath. thinking, though, and looking forward, maybe the ed lee memorial tree moves to this environment and we start to tell storis in this space. all of these elements had to this idea of daily life around the perimeter of this big space that we need to accommodate these huge event. design challenge, how do you break down that sense of scale and space and make it usable. two lawns here provide that. they soften the environment in the hardscape and support the soma soccer program. there is an idea of a sheet of water that's essentially a fountain that's playful and the elderly and everyone can run through it. this occupies the middle. it can be drained and turned off in a snap for big event. here you see that

so in capital, when we do capital projects, renovations, new playgrounds, facility is one of the key elements we work with. that makes it. but everybody, there are things, we need to put more swings that are accessible. but the fact that sometimes we're limbed by the space -- limited by the space that we have for the playground to create these traveling elements like in st. mary's park, you know, st. mary's, we have where a person can get into a structure with a wheelchair, it's a very long area. that is something we have to do and we have renovations in big areas to do it. but, yes, it is on our mind and we can do more of it. >> nicole: your point is well taken. i want to add. i know we need to end very soon. that as part of the planning, we are also looking at the path of travel in and out of the parks. and play areas as part of what we're analyzing so that all of the features can be connected in the best way possible. >> co-chair senhaux: thank you, presenters. i appreciate your time. and waiting. so thank you so much. i want to open up public comment on this agenda item. and i wa

the comments initiative has built off of the capital investments, like the new playgrounds and kiosks, and currently three hunter's point family, and they've brought block parties and seating. in 2019, they're going to be starting a new friday market in u.n. plaza that will build of off of the city farmers' market. the realm plan is focused on future plans. the plan is managed by the planning department city design group, with an eight-agency team, and we're joined by a really fantastic consultant team, and in just a moment, i'll be introducing their principal to walk you through the space designs. the main focus of the plan are the three public spaces that connect market street with city hall, the city centers plaza and the united nations plaza. and street design improvements for the entire district. after two years of studying community engagement, our team is now finalizing the co consepual design. there are multiple lingual and youth focus groups, multiple days of onsite outreach which we developed through the ground play program. so some next steps, we're currently finalizing the

they maintain the beautiful new playgrounds, the cafe and many art installations. >> thank you, miss costello and next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm with rubicon point partners, one of the parcels that is going also from the tenderloin community benefit district to the civic center as part of the expansion parcel and i'm actually here to voice my support for this renewal. since taking ownership of the property over the past year, you know, we've been very involved with the community and working with the organizations that serve it. one being the civic center benefit's district. i have attended the same meetings that tracey referred to about two to three meetings aman and it is phenomenal. i've seen firsthand the work. they've been extremely active, working wit stakeholders, the nonprofit, the police departments, they've gone outside and learned from the benefit districts and other cities. so i just want to say that there's been a lot of work going on behind the scenes and i know that there's been concern about the way these parcels were set up or how tax is ass

playground. sometimes the news media is his playground too.by some of the ways the democratic contenders are dealing with this. let me bring our panel back to wrap this up. guys, we heard from pete buttigieg this week saying the president wants and needs our attention. he means the publics' attention as well as the media and the democratic field. how are you seeing the democratic candidates handle this? >> i think the thing we all need to understand -- and this is all dissent a little bit. this is not rational behavior by president trump. economy is strong, rates are low. any other president would have higher approval ratings. even donald trump would probably be a strong candidate for election if he had been silent since election day. the noise hurts him, but he can't help doing it. it's not rational behavior. that's the beginning of how to understand with it. pete buttigieg said this is fuel for donald trump. this is a supply to him. that explains his behavior. not a strategy or tactic. >> olivia, do you agree? it's irrational? >> well, i don

i guess as bond improvements are completes and we have beautiful new facilities whether it's bartlett or a playground or a fire station or whatever, if -- if -- if city departments are not maintaining them, and people are complaining, that's a problem because we've just spent a lot of money to make these beautiful facilities, and if the people in the mission say the bartlett sidewalks aren't being kept clean, that's not good. now again maybe -- maybe it's -- that's kind of the normal percentage for every street in the city. i don't know, but you know what i'm saying, i think over time as we do more of these, we'll see trends emerge and it's maybe something we can complain about. it's not something we do. we just do the bond measures, but i think it'll be good as we do more of these to see our homeless problems in every park that we do. also, my question, what did bartlett look like before the improvements? i was not familiar with it. >> to answer the first question about the timeline, so it's around 2015 in january that bartlett was -- construction was completed. >> okay. so there was a nice timeline

new tradition school has over 200 kids in that school, and also the chinese immersion school which is here. so this panhandle playground falls right in the middle of both sections that we operate our programs in. it is so important for our kids and their families to have a place to come together and recreate together. growing up in san francisco, as a native san franciscan, and no current resident in d5, there are not very many places where kids can just come on their own and play it like i used to be able to do growing up. so this is a great place to bring family together, families feel safe, and just part of the community. we are so thankful that the parks alliance and the park and recreation departments have come up with this great plan for the panhandle. thank you very much.

playground words. how extreme and potentially dangerous this new legal strategy is.ew memo came out that argues that no senior adviser to the president can ever be made to go in front of congress and testify and here's how flimsy of an opinion it is, there's one case decided on this specific issue, involving harriet myers, and she was briefly president bush's white house counsel back in 2008 and that case said the exact opposite, it says no, harriet miers do harriet myers does have to go before congress if subpoenaed. there's a writing by -- think of what this position would to the balance of powers, if it was really the case that no senior adviser to the president could ever be made to appear in front of congress it would completely throw the balance out of whack. >> matthew, chairman nadler says the hearing will go on even without mcgahn. is this about theatrics? >> it's theater on both sides. if they wanted to shut this down, they would send him and he'd refuse to answer questions, it's easy. but they want a fight and now they want to keep fighting. they're going
