i want to say that we strongly support the testimony and eloquent ideas you heard from olson lee and dennis phyllis ips. they speak the truth. we want to see more affordability where we say the common ground is where is the money. no one a disagrees that we need it but where is the funding coming from. the shortcoming i see from the housing balance measure is it an appears to us on a premise that if we in accrues -- increase the restrictions on housing we increase the subsidized housing. it doesn't make sense how that works. instead a better outcome to sit down and get the stakeholders and sit down and look at ways to raise more money to subsidize the housing. you saw some slides and i don't know if you noticed the production level of affordable housing. in 1 year, the past many years that did exceed 300 units in a year. do you understand what a dread fully inadequate number it is relative to the challenges we are facing. we are not talking about anything here that is talking about what is going to significantly change this. we need inclusionary things. there are other things we need

olson around during the war. some of the other jobs you took on, not even defense work -- maybe jobs men would've had during peacetime? >> in amarillo, the first job i had in amarillo, it was in a warehouse. and i had to push -- almost like a grocery cart around and fill orders. and you had to learn in a short time where everything was on the shelves. it was so many miscellaneous things, and i had to devise some way of knowing where they were. so, i did that. then in oklahoma city -- i do not know that men were doing it, but i did work for western union running branches through the city. a special one that comes to the mind that might have been on the dangerous side -- i worked at the stockyards. and i had to take a commuter train to the stockyards. i handled quite a bit of money. and here i was, 21, 22, getting on that commuter about 5:00 in the evening with my bag of money -- a lot of money. riding a commuter train into the main office. never dreamed they could have been dangerous. i'm not sure it was all that

you referred to the olson case. and i have the olson case in front of me. the olson opinion, rather. and what it

olson lead from the office of housing. >> good evening, my name is olson lee. a native san franciscans. i have been involved with affordable housing for the past four 4 years in san francisco. with this experience that i can brought to the mayor's office of housing, i have seen sort of the industry of affordable housing grow over that period. what it really takes to build to improve and to maintain affordable housing. so, my presentation will talk a little bit about that context because as one of the earlier commenters said and as you supervisors have talked about, it's about the funding, it's about how we pay for building affordable housing so that we can continue the business or -- work that many of us have devoted our lives to. i wanted to take the at some point to identify or to clarify the things that the mayor has done on behalf of affordable housing because many of the commenters who came before you expressed the view that this administration doesn't care about affordable housing and two, that hasn't done anything. i want to claire fee -- clarify to the

i want to second what our colleague olson said. when i think about his knowledge and commitment and his community work. he's a very easy person to work with. he's very collegial and i really strongly recommend that you appoint him to the planning commission. he'll behind -- be an excellent commissioner. thank you. >>supervisor norman yee: go ahead and lineup. >> good afternoon. it's a pleasure to offer my support for our neighbor dennis richards. i met dennis in 2008 and have known him to be a true advocate. his agenda is very much that of the community. he's a devoted participant to the market octavia plan and crazy enough to continue on to the commissioner dsh cac. he's vehicle a -- very much a proponent for inclusionary housing and he's willing to fight for what he believes is right. one particular occasion that i would share with you is a recent developer came to the neighborhood and was proposed a building and dennis fought very hard to make it very clear to them that unless the policy included non-discrimination according to

olson brought out the goal from what are the units that fall within that, i do want to note that in those 10,000 affordable housing units we have open thousands of affordable units this year. the development of almost 1700 units will rent below middle income levels in september the newest residents will move into the shipyard with 5,000 units. this measure was created to protect the city's ability to meet the housing goals. primarily it's affordable and housing goals. it confirmation the mayor's commitment to construct at least 30,000 units by 2020 with a majority with a financial reach of low to middle income household. the various households that we have heard everyone speak about today and i believe everyone in this room 100 percent behind. it urges the mayor and board of supervisors to urge all funding resources a real action plan to make this a reality and develop a funding strategy to do so. third, it urges the development of new revenue sources from middle income households and it directs the analysis of the impact of luxury development on middle income housing. fourth, it urges th

. >> supervisors, olson lee, director of mayor's office of housing. as director updike mentioned we're very early in the process, and the level of affordability specified in these agreements are related to the use of taxes and bonds for the financing of this development. so, these units will be affordable. at no greater than 50% of median income. so, they're going to be relatively affordable. and i presume that the workers of good will would be income eligible for those, those particular units. one of the questions is, you know, are they, in fact, low enough to actually serve those employees. but the base obligation for any new multi-family development based upon prop c is 12%. and, so, this is an increase in that air of affordability by 8 percentage points. so, there are going to be over 130 units of affordable housing here at 50% of income for which the mayor's office of housing community development is not subsidizing it. and we will actually be the other party responsible for issuing the bonds and monitoring the ongoing affordability and ensuring

i'm in between projects anyway and the second i'm the only person that ted olson would probably talkto at the new times because he hates it. i had gotten to know them over the years i covered bush v. gore. i did all the background dirt at the "washington post" on george bush's supreme court nominees. i got to know him a little more. he also should've figured and the kind of interesting way, and cheney an can have one of the fw lawyers is willing to stand up and tell cheney and his lawyer, ma you can't go to the supreme court until the supreme court is not any right to review your policies and these people can't even have lawyers. that was interesting to me because ted olson was only person who lost and that high ranking bush of mr. ship-to-ship collection lost someone, his wife was on board one of those flights. and so i called him and said i want to do this story. i did a story and i couldn't let it go. it was a really audacious thing they're doing. it was a controversial thing that they did. there was a lot of people who believed at the time that the country was not ready, and more

i feel really fortunate to be able to work with olson lee and buckly who come from the affordable housing wormd and have done so much with mayor lee to build affordable housing and i believe that our legislation is really part of that package. it doesn't fight that and it's really another tool that we can have in the handbook to continue the pathway that we are on and the vision we would all like to see. i think we are lucky to have a smart and vigorous and debate and discussions so we can have more. i think we should appreciate that despite the fact that we have some dueling concepts for how that happens. thank you chair yee for being here. i know your family is waiting for you. >> i want to thank everybody for being here. it's true and i also believe that there is nobody in this room that would really not fight for affordable housing. it's one of these things where can we get to a couple -- commitmently -- come complimentary type of solutions. i'm hoping as we move into future as we are talking about this time around or next year or the year after that we continue to have this dialogue
