i live a mine from the parnassus campus. i'm supporting ucsf parnassus plan at m.o.u. and oppose any delay moving forward. i believe it's urgent that ucsf completes this project and it's important for our sitting county government to do its best efforts to move the project forward. the chancellor alluded to the state mandated deadline that failed to meet standards which is set for 2030. the most important deadline involved here is set by the san andres fault. the moffett hospital is not satisfying current hospital seismic standards. most of us dislike thinking about this but we're in a race against time to build a seismically sound hospital campus before we suffer the major earthquake. the city our history with hospital seismic upgrades projects is not entirely encouraging projects such as the new seismically safe campus were delayed for many years while we disagreed what san france disagreed about. let's not gamble with mother nature's timetable in approaching this project. the city and county should ensure the parnassus campus would be available to care for our city'

but this parnassus project affects the entire city. we've heard a lot from people who are local homeowners, millionaire homeowners saying that, hey, this affects us. well, parnassus affects the whole city and it's not just a district 5 thing, everyone uses it. and i would say that, supervisors, the role of supervisors is to set the rules. does this project meet the rules? if, yes, then step back and let it go forth. was that 10,000 jobs, 40% of affordable housing. there's been two plus years engaging with the community. how is this rushed? the project is not expanding into the neighborhood. ucsf is non-profit, it takes insurance. i don't know if the board needs a reminder that s.f. general, which is run under the city's department of health famously screwed over hundreds of thousands of residents by balance billing. you know, that was a scandal last year. i don't think that the city really can be talking about how to run a hospital. commentators talk about using hunter's point instead. well, you know, that's actually kind of racist. wh

about the proposed changes to the parnassus campus. i really want to thank -- i see this as really a team effort. not only between the mayor's office and the different departments, but between the mayor's office and the neighborhood supervisor's offices. i really want to thank, you know, josh and sheila from the planning department, director hillis, sarah jones and kristin michael from matsuda m.t.a. john from oewd who handled the workforce component of this. my colleague in the mayor's office as well who handled a portion of the health piece. and then, of course, supervisors melgar, president yee and supervisor preston and your staff, in particular i want to thank jen loh and also kyle and from ucsf i also want to thank francesca and brian to putting in countless hours to get to this point. the m.o.u. you have before you is the result of the eight-month negotiation. but it's also a result of the ask that came from you and from us. it has been shaped about the community -- >> madam chair, can i just interrupt for just a second, through

parnassus plan. before we get into the m.o.u. and the plan, i want to hand it over to jeff buckley from the mayor's office for introductory remarks. >> thanks, josh. i want to note the work you see before you is the product of months of negotiation between the city and u.c.s.f. it is a strong ex am bell of collaboration between the departments. i want to thank the planning department and the director, sarah jones and kristin from m.t.a. the city attorney's office and john from the office of economics development. i want to give thanks to jen and kyle from the board of supervisors who were partners in this effort. as i speak i am keenly aware that ambulances are outside of emergency rooms across southern california because the hospitals there lack capacity to care for people. this m.o.u. goes beyond vital public interest. it is adding 200 hospital beds. we focused on housing, transportation and work force. staff will lay out the housing and transportation commitments in the m.o.u. are equal to and exc

ucsf must improve parnassus campus. we have concerns about transportation, air quality, housing availability in the community. this isn't about blocking ucsf they need to renovate it's pushing back against over development and giving real considerations to the jobs and housing balances that have been troubling the city before they moved forward. i support the resolution to delay the vote. >> thank you, next speaker, please. you have two minutes. >> caller: hello, supervisors, i'm a policy manager at the barrie council and i'll calling in support of ucsf parnassus plan and m.o.u. with the city and i am proud to support this -- and having continue to take the community back. it will have serious consequences from the public's health. as we would covid-19 pandemic in the medical needs. this project is limit today campus has not expanded further into neighborhoods and they are sim making improvement that's will benefit the community including $20 million of public transit improvements. i suppose sort building 1,000 housing

at the parnassus campus? >> there's 1,008 affordable units that will be delivered as part of this plan. and a representative share will be at parnassus. but i don't have an actual number of how many will be at parnassus. >> supervisor preston: and i'm sorry to cut you off, i know that the hour is late. i would love for us to just get to a point where we have a concrete -- there's no reason that we can't have a concrete level of, you know, at least a minimum of what's going to be delivered on the campus. it sounds like y'all may need to do some math with the portfolio. i would love to see that change in there. and i want to say that for a lot of people as part of this exercise of demanding more, not less, of affordable housing in our community. let me ask though -- just back to the bands issue and thank you chair melgar for jumping in and i appreciate your work on this to -- to get this concept in there. but -- but -- but through the chair to mr. buckley, i saw the amendments. i appreciate the -- i think -- ac

i'm a direct neighbor of the parnassus project. i oppose the resolution to delay the parnassus project. i like so many others, it's important for us to be good neighbor to ucsf. especially now when ucsf has been working tirelessly to keep the san francisco community alive all while doing community outreach which i have seen many times. i believe this could be extended even when the pandemic is no longer a threat. my former neighbor works as a nurse at ucsf. she allowed her to work, walk to work everyday. now she faces two hour compute by car where she has to put in long hours to look out for covid patients. housing close to one workplace should not be a luxury reserve and those with a six-figure salary to afford it. it will improve our struggling infrastructure and provide new jobs our city so desperately need now in the post pandemic era. thank you. >> next speaker please. we have 55 listeners and 14 in the queue. >> i believe the ucsf campus need to be updated and expanded. i believe that some of the prohousing proponents have be

you have a bookstore there, parnassus books. >> yes >> seth: and i'm wondering how the pandemic -- iare obviously reading a lot more, but it's less social to go to a bookstore? >> well, we were closed until the middle of october. we were america's most cautious bookstore. and it -- the whole thing is really kind of heartwarming and amazing in that people not only in nashville, but all across the country and in some cases all across the world, started ordering their books from us so we turned into a sort of a santa's workshop vibe. we were just shipping, packaging books around the clock, and i do mean around the clock. and certainly business was down in 2020, but we survived we didn't lay anybody off. everybody still has a job. and now we're letting ten people into the store at a time so, you know, it's a -- it's a great story. it's very heartwarming >> seth: you mentioned that you haven't had to lay off any staff, which is great, and i know your sister works there as well, correct? >> yeah. my -- my sister heather decided -- it was like a year and a half ago -- that she just wanted a

i have both friends and family who work at the ucsf parnassus campus and we are expecting the big one at some point. i want to make sure that a hospital built in the 40s, can with stand that for the workers and the patients into the future. that being said, i wish we had more time. i am aware that delaying the project -- actually, do anything for when the shovel gets in the ground, but because of the complex financing that is going into this project, it may, you know, impact the commitment that ucsf has and i, having been someone who has raised money for capital improvements and acquisitions, i know that is real. so that does give me pause. that being said, today, i cannot say that every i is dotted and every t is crossed. like supervisor chan, for me, the labor agreements are key. i want to make sure that we have good union jobs out of this. i think it's really important. depending on the jobs to help our community go forward. and also i want this to be in terms of the affordable housing agreement, i am a housing person and i want to make sure that is tight. that being said, i do tru

she joins us now live from ucsf medical center at parnassus heights taylor. >>well i know that many of us can agree that these fluctuating numbers can be confusing and we're not alone. ucsf doctor monica gandhi says that you know this metric again can be confusing and it doesn't paint the clearest picture as to how covid-19 is affecting our hospitals of course she recognizes that we are in a very serious surge right now. but she says that there are other measurements that we could be looking at for a better idea how covid-19 impacts our hospitals. on tuesday, the bay area region's icu capacity sits 4.7%. >>up from 0.7% on monday in just a few days ago, our icu capacity set at 3%. doctor monica gandhi at ucsf explains the roller coaster of fluctuations. >>this whole icu capacity thing is a little murky because what happens is people sometimes stay in the icu because there's no room on the floor because they can't be discharged out because there's no congregate settings and so it's actually not a hard measure and so what probably happened is a lot of people jus

build more than 1,200 units of housing for its workers as part of a deal with the city to expand its parnassusoffices and research space, housing and a brand-new hospital. the university has also committed to spending $20 million in transportation improvement in that area, too. >>> now to your morning money report this is a first. tech workers at google's parent company have formed a union and the question now is, could this be happening at other tech companies. the newly formed alphabet workers union made its debut on monday with more than 400 employees joining. the union says they are open to every one employed by google's parent company alphabet. now, most traditional unions are focused on salary negotiation. alphabet workers union want to focus on social equity and the company's ethics. >> we have strived to create technology for the greater good. anything that helps us retain this entrepreneurship and that is over time good for california. >> in an e-mail to abc7 news, google told us we've always worked hard to create a supportive and workplace for ou workforce. as we've always done, we w
