i want to thank supervisor preston for signing on. i know you campaigned heavily on wanting a navigation center in your district. i appreciate you for that. and i think this will be a critical tool in helping us get there by having that shared commitment, having the expectation that it will get done, having the reporting, the transparency, the accountability. i also want to appreciate supervisor safai for bringing a vehicle navigation center to his district. and to really demonstrate in leadership. i don't want to out him here, but he said that people asked about this legislation as something they were interested in and hopeful about. and also supervisor peskin for his leadership in working hard to bring in navigation center to his district, for recommending sites, for introducing a resolution, which i was happy to cosponsor, and i'm hopeful we can get this done and make this collective commitment as a board together with the mayor to invest in navigation centers across the city. the rest i submit. >> supervisor mandelman: i submit. >

. >> >> clerk: supervisor preston. i'm calling for a hearing on june 25, 2018, voters passed proposition f to guarantee a right to council for any tenant in san francisco facing eviction from their home. proposition f required full implementation by july 2019. they have taken positive steps, but have fallen short of fulfilling the promises and the requirements of proposition f. many tenants still go unrepresented, which is in direct violation of prop f. the right to council is an essential part of keeping people housed. prop f requires right to counsel and san francisco residents deserve nothing less. i look forward to working with the mayor's office, colleagues, to make sure we achieve the universal right to counsel required by voters in prop f as soon as possible. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you, colleagues. today i'm introducing legislation to tighten regulations on landlord buyout of rent controlled tenants and protect tenants from high pressure. they feel like they'

supervisor preston. >> thank you, president yee. colleagues, it's no secret that i think that the sb50 is bad for our city as drafted, the bill would make our housing market less affordable. the bill gives away valuable rights in san francisco, enriching developers at the expense of our community. notably, as supervisor mar has pointed out, the bill does not even require higher rates of affordable housing or transit investments in exchange for the development rights that it gives away. so i want to thank supervisor mar for introducing this resolution, working so closely with advocates to call for essential amendments to sb50. i also want to recognize and thank the affordable housing advocates and residents here in san francisco and in gentrifying communities all around the state who have worked hard to expose the problems with asb # 50. i think it's a shame that so much of their time and ours must be spent challenging the latest developer bill, rather than focussing on real solutions to our affordable housing crisis here in san fran
