you really want to be able to offer paid prioritization? >> guest: it's not the red line. i mean, i think the thing that's frustrating to uses is our -- we've been advocating around net neutrality principles for ten years, certainly most intensely with both chairmen of the obama administration, so for the last eight years. we have never argued a net neutrality solution has to eliminate paid prioritization ever. that's never been the principle of my association, nor have we ever rejected any legislation that would include a bright line rule on paid prioritization. i think, so i think that's really important to distinguish. let me be very clear about that. the cable industry -- and i believe i can speak for the isp industry -- is not hung up that a barrier to getting a legislative solution is paid prioritization. sure. so let's be clear, break, pause. the reason why there's a hang-up about it is, is it right or in the interest of society? because, now, this is mike powell and a citizen talking, not as an advocate. our society creates priorities for pay all over the place for

we've never argued that it has to eliminate pay prioritization. nor have we ever rejected legislation to approve a bright line rule on prioritization. the industry is not hung up but a barrier to get a legislative solution is pay prioritization. the reason why there's a hangup is that is it right? in the interest of society. our society creates priorities for pay all over the place for good positive reason. we let ambulances go faster and break the speed limit to get a patient time to get to the hospital. liberal politicians and ploy fast lanes and tolling on the interstate highway. fedex gets you a package tomorrow instead of thursday. amazon prime built a profitable business in applications and packages coming in two days instead of a week. the things that society enjoys. yet we come over to the virtual world in a like it's an evil concept that has ever had the world. what i worry about is do we believe the internet is a race, the need or the value in the tangible world. >> were talking about health or national security i just believe there's a

100% affordable project is prioritized, so if it is prioritized, there is still a delay of 3-4 weeks -- >> probably not up to 3-4 weeks, but still, we are dealing with more than one at any given time, it's possible we deal with multiple priority projects. we also have different type of priority. we have the fee base. we have premium review. we also have the -- have to issue a bulletin dealing with 100% affordable housing project. so that is what gives us the ticket to move up the 100% affordable project. to the top, but still we have to -- it's not like the minute or the week the priority -- a certain priority project comes into our department we can review them right away the same week. >> supervisor ronen: do the fee based priority projects get -- >> no, priority projects are the very top of the priority list. and then the fee-based so-called premium project is sitting below that. so the 3-4 week delay, even for those priority projects is because you're working on projects and that's the first availability you have to jump the line. >> well, even if we move them up to the top of th

this is a matter of political will and prioritization. considering san francisco's $10 billion annual budget and the other considerations mentioned in my e-mail of december 9, 2017, there is simply no excuse for continuing the current state of affairs. dpw must be allocating more money and additional permanent staff to complete the job and make the sidewalks and intersections of san francisco fully accessible to people with mobility and vision disabilities. i won't be able to attend the meeting, marcy, if you have flies i would appreciate a copy after the meeting. i'm submitting this as public comment. i will try to call in on the bridge line, but if i'm unable to do so, i request that someone from mod read this into the record. cordially, howard. >> that's great, appreciate you reading, that's a good letter. if there is not any more comment from the public, we're going to close the item out and take a 15-minute break. my watch says >> co-chair blacksten: all right, we're going on to information item number 8. vision zero. san francisco.

for example, do you prioritize families? do you prioritize veterans? do you prioritize people you believe to be "more easily housed". i don't know if there is such a thing, but i'm throwing this out there to get our juices flowing. do you prioritize people with mental illness? and when we think of framework for prevention, framework about encampments and emergency services and exits to housing, where does the bulk of the money go. and then finally, should we stay the course, or do we need a tactical shift? with that, the floor is to you. >> thank you very much, supervisors and thank you for calling this special hearing and recognizing the seriousness of this problem, it's nothing short of a catastrophe and human tragedy that is playing out on our streets every day, faeging the lives of -- affecting the lives of thousands of people, including affecting our neighborhoods. i want to thank the staff of hsh as well as our sister departments and our nonprofit partners who are here who work so hard every day working to help as many people as we possibly can t

100% affordable project is prioritized, so if it is prioritized, there is still a delay of 3-4 weeks -- >> probably not up to 3-4 weeks, but still, we are dealing with more than one at any given time, it's possible we deal with multiple priority projects. we also have different type of priority. we have the fee base. we have premium review. we also have the -- have to issue a bulletin dealing with 100% affordable housing project. so that is what gives us the ticket to move up the 100% affordable project. to the top, but still we have

then back to chris for his response. >> paid prioritization is for prioritization in general is one of the most misunderstood issues out there. i wish the press would stop writing this. the internet has no lanes. do not exist. it either goes or doesn't go. it moves at the speed of electrons or the speed of light. and when there is congestion, you either drop packets randomly we drop them intelligently by using some sort of prioritization scheme. i would say there are a lot of benefits to intelligently deciding what traffic has better quality of service than other things. i will give you two examples. one of which is crucial and one of which is mundane but very important. the first is i guarantee that all of the people who get paid per decision are hugely in favor of paid prioritization the minute we start having remote surgery occurring across electronic networks. you want those packets to be prioritized. wanted to get through and you want everything to work right. there is a benefit to doing that. it is not an inherently bad thing it is good technology. the second example i will give

are you, in fact, prioritizing dangerous people? you claim to be doing that, but you claim that you have no discretion. >> we are certainly prioritizing individual that are national security and public safety threats, repeat immigration violators and fugitives. but we are not doing so at the sole exclusion of other immigration violators. we are not going to turn a blind eye to someone that we end up in contact with that has violated immigration laws. most of people that have been here for a long time were arrested when they entered the country in the first place. we are just merely following through on the processes that have been established. the process is that an individual receives a removal order and we're required to execute it, we will do so. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> mr. fleischmann. >> thank you, mr. chairman. good morning, gentlemen. i have a two-part question. yesterday i asked secretary nielson about the challenges fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are presenting to this country. first off, i would like to ask yo

>> congress is helping prioritize by investing in our personnel. >> sir, how would you prioritize that investment? >> i would prioritize it in even -- >> you say all of the above. >> dogs, trained agents, x-ray machines, a wall. they're all equally effective at the border in stopping drugs? >> the fy '18 budget, which we appreciate greatly has a nice balanced investment in all of those things. >> but sir, in your opinion as a professional, where do you think those dollars are most effectively invested? i know what the border agents told me in san ysidro, in your opinion where are they most effectively invested? >> at the ports of entry it's two things, technology that includes x-rays, so we can get more vehicles through them. these are deep concealments that challenge our officers. more canines. >> compared to that border it's not one, it's a whole border, where is that money most effectively invested to interdict drug shipments? >> for hardened narcotics, it's inspection technology. that's the most important. >>. >> and to the ranking member as well, commissioner, good to see you, con

do you feel like you're getting prioritization for these projects in each of the departments? >> we at meda did not know there were agencies in the room that had dedicated staff to this and there was a mayor's task force. i'm not sure whether the mayor's housing development knew. that's interesting in itself, the expediting has been in place and city agencies have been working together, but that has been a little less known to us. so if that does continue to move forward, we'd love to be able to be part of that. we're working closely with the mayor's office. we as affordable housing developers meet with them on a monthly basis and would love to continue to talk about how we expedite with them. so that would be number one. we should know that there are other agencies that have similar point people. right now, a lot of our architects and ourselves, we go to the different departments not realizing there are people who can move the processes forward. >> i don't mean to put you on the spot, but do you feel like you're getting prioritization in planning in dbi and then in the depart

and then broadly considering the segments throughout the city for prioritization as well. again, patrick golier is going to talk about an mta program that is going to be doing that. but before we move to that, i wanted to give a brief highlight of a survey we conducted at the end of 2016 that helped this analysis. we administered it online, in spanish, english and chinese. we were really pleased to receive results nearly 300 responses to the survey. 38 people reported representing people with disabilities and another 80 representing seniors. and just to highlight some of the issues that are important that could be considered more closely in the planning processes, included concerns crossing safely, with not enough time to cross, with issues with drivers yielding and a lack of crosswalks and then more general issues regarding visibility. and we also asked people, what were locations that were of particular concern to national assembly the city? so just in the survey and we overlaid that data with the priority areas of concern that we identified. and with respect to the inte

we're prioritizing who the actors who represent the biggest risk and threat. therefore, what pathways and activities we're going to focus on and then identifying those agencies with the information authorities and capabilities necessary to work independently or in tandem with others to most effectively get after that acquisition and deny it. >> and if i could add, we continue to work with the services and joints requirement office to align, assess, align resources to address any of the capability gaps, joints chief, identifies future operational needs from input from those services and we arrive at what would be called a joint priority list which identifies and priorityizes these capabilities and then we continue to be in close collaboration with the end users. that process allows us, you know, effectively identify the priorities that need to be addressed and order a priority. >> thank you. >> sir, if i could jump on that as well. two quick things, one, is developing a functional campaign program which harmonizes and coordinates all of those activities and the

when you are looking at more police controls we hope you would prioritize. we did see a difference when they doubled their current foot beat control and that gives them opportunity to build relationships with the resident es and provides that feeling of safe thasafety that people are g for. i want to point out that san francisco is a walking city so our visitors have a relationship with what is going on on the street. the feedback that we received we just met with key convention clients yesterday is that they don't feel safe when they are here and that is concerning for us. we have such a high property crime rate. [bell ringing] >> supervisor cohen: that was two minutes. >> my name is ace and i've been on this case, some of those people are dead are all in this place, no mystery just check the mystery. i have been working on a lot of cases of conspiracy. [ singing] don't you want to know what goes on down here in city hall? don't you want to know what goes on in city hall. i am getting ready to start my own tv show you all about what goes on in city hall. i

i would prioritize it and even posture. all of the above. they are all equally effective at the border. at stopping drugs. the budget which we appreciate greatly has a nice balance investment. i know what those border agents told me in your opinion where are the most effectively invested. it includes the x-rays so we can get more vehicles through them. these are deep conceal its compared to that border it's not one where is that money most effectively invested. the most important. chair amount of time. thank you so much madame chairwoman and commissioner it's good to see you. congratulations on your confirmation since 2009 the orlando international airport has seen its international passenger arrivals increased by 89% get the number of custom and border patrol officers had stayed relatively flat. i was assigned out it oia i know the critical role that your agency's server. agencies serve. the airport authority has invested millions of dollars in automatic passports and other technology but in 2007 customs and border patrol officers they were

who do you we make sure the sickest are getting prioritized for housing?how do we ensure that the people who have invested time into the issues, we're able to get them into housing. unfortunately, this is matter of having to make prioritization and policy decisions. but i think we're on the same page, in terms of -- part of what the department is trying to do is prioritize those who have the deepest need. and make it easier for them to be able to access these fairly expensive interventions like permanent supportive housing. so those that really need that, they're not going to get better or they possibly could die if they don't get it. this is not going to get fixed overnight, but i'm pleased with the progress we've been making in the past year, especially through whole person care to do this. part of it is a policy decision, which we're in the process of making. part of it is funding for additional resources to serve folks who have severe mental health issues. and then part of it is technological solution which we're working on with whole person care, so p

another question, is there a particular population that we should be prioritizing. for example, families, those with mental illnesses. do we want to do something for the greatest number of people, or significantly expand services for a smaller population that is also in need? finally, as we think about a two-year budget cycle, i would hope that we would be able to prioritize one strategy through our budget in the first year, and possibly different strategy in the second year. this is just a rhetorical question for us to continue to contemplate. we're going to hear a series of presentations today and to the presenters, please, we've gone through your slides. one department in particular has a long deck. you know who you are. i won't call you out. but the order is as much. first, city service auditor is here. homeless and supportive service housing director jeff will also be presenting. the department of public health director barbara garcia will be discussing with us about our behavioral health initiative. the mayor's office of housing, the lovely and talented kate h

now a federal judge is ruling that prioritizing federal money for those who participate in immigration enforcement would, quote, upset the constitutional balance. >> to make, for example, immigration a focus of a community-based policing grant, that alone was unconstitutional. and that will be no longer allowed. >> i think we're right. we're fundamentally right in this instance. >> reporter: 94-year-old u.s. federal judge manuel real issued this ruling. he served on this federal bunch since 1966 -- bench since 1966 appointed by president johnson. when president trump first announced the possibility of withholding federal money, the lapd chief said it would cost los angeles $50 million. in newsroom, jackie ward, kpix 5. >> what do we expect to happen next? >> a spokesman for the justice department suggested

you don't see things on your newsfeed -- once again, it's artificial intelligence algorithm that prioritizes what he wants you to see. by the business model it tries to have you not leave the fight and it will serve you ads and i've noticed over the years a lot of time it seems to prioritize things that are outrageous or things that are cuddly and cute. lots of baby pictures, engagements and things people are really mad at. a lot of this information is novel and exciting so the business model isn't here is the full amount of information you need but how do i increase the engagement and unfortunately misinformation doesn't seem that people engage it. even if you oppose it someone is engaging and even if you're getting mad this is my problem and they are selling us about whoever is paying them to give them messages. you can target for one by one if another e-mail or user idea use some look like audiences which is [inaudible] that business model is really not a healthy process model if the quality of the information is important and i think we have seen this in the last election and sometimes p

for paid prioritization. how tightly does paid prioritization need to be constrained? in the grand scheme of things that's a pretty narrow source of disagreement. there's plenty of room for bipartisan congressional action. unfortunately the democrats seem prefer to have this issue as an issue that will motivate their base, and so it is arguably more convenient to have a problem than it is to have a solution. the republicans don't want to cooperate with the democrats in any way and have the democrats what would look like a win, and so you are back to partisan politics on both sides undermining what should be a relatively easy proposition. you get it in certain states where the states are partisan enough that they can all agree, but that doesn't help anyone. so now we got this patchwork of some state with net neutrality, and it's a very unfortunate circumstance and i wish i could say i see a clear path out. i don't. on privacy, i still think we're a little further away, but we are probably one crisis away from

we provide a list of prioritization to mcconnell. we do hope they will stay on the weekend to force more of these votes and burn more of the time. that's a point we have made. >> i'm going to hit on you a couple more topics i know you don't have a ton of time. north korea, mike pompeo is leading those discussions regarding this potential summit with north korea. explain something to me because when i was on sunday today show yesterday chuck todd was on talking about this exact negotiation. the president was very unhappy about that. the president tweeted about that. you, yourself, have acknowledged that north korea has not agreed to this point to pledge to d denuclearize, right? >> for many decades there's been a certain -- concern on how we negotiate with north korea. >> stop testing is very different than denuclearize. >> there's a lot more to be done. where he know that. and the president ha pledged we're going to keep up the maximum pressure campaign until they fully denuclearize. >> does the president know that? >> of course. >>

prioritize privacy?hat they prioritize the growth of users, the growth of the data they can collect and their ability to monetize that through advertising. that's what they prioritized, because those were the metrics, and are the metrics that the stock market cares about. >> stahl: facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg turned down our request for an interview. eventually the company did change its policy, so app developers can no longer gather data from users' friends without their consent. facebook's years of failing to protect users' privacy by allowing covert harvesting of so much personal data became the center of the congressional hearings two weeks ago. in his defense, c.e.o. mark zuckerberg pointed the finger at one particular app developer. >> mark zuckerberg: if a developer who people gave their information to, in this case aleksandr kogan, then goes and, in violation of his agreement with us, sells the data to cambridge analytica, that's a big issue. people have a right to be very upset. i am upset t

did you subjectively manipulate your our rhythms to prioritize -- our rhythms to prioritize or censor speech? mr. zuckerberg: we do not think about all we are doing as censoring speech. types of content like terrorism we agree we do not want to have on our service. we build systems to identify those and can remove the content and we are proud of that work. rep. blackburn: diamond and silk are not terrorists. we recognize the gentlelady from colorado. >> mr. zuckerberg, we appreciate your contrition and your commitment to resolving these task problems. from my perspective and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in this committee are interested in looking forward to preventing this kind of activity , not just from facebook but with others in your industry. as has been noted by many people have been relying on self-regulation in your industry for the most part. we are trying to explore what we can do to prevent further breaches. i want to ask you a series of fairly quick questions with only should require a yes or no answer. 2017, facebook had a total shareholder equity of just over

. -- director koczitsky are prioritizing, and we are, and we are, so what do we do? so what do we do? we attempt to take the most acute, we attempt to increase programs for the most significantly mentally ill, and those who are addict dangerous drug. you saw with the st. mary's bed expansion, you see the senator with his bill in sacramento, attempting to deal with the issue we struggle with around severely mentally ill individuals on the street. but i think in answer to your street, why does the street look so bad, it's capacity. >> supervisor sheehy: i accept the capacity argument, but when i hear someone's been 5150 100 times, there is a disconnect. when i hear people with hiv they're not getting connected to housing. >> sure. >> supervisor sheehy: we have this knew prioritization process is just now being implemented, so we've had a different prioritization process up to now, and you know, i think if supervisor ronen was here, i think she and i would both discuss, you know, our cycles that we've observed wher where encampments are broken up. 70% go to a navigation

and so i just -- i'm not seeing that urgency in that level of commitment to prioritizing and financing these projects going forward, and that's what i'm looking for. and i know -- again, i echo, there's lots of great comments, and big things we can do and little things we can do. and i'm going to follow up this hearing by, you know, having some offline conversations, but i want every single one of these 100% affordable projects, for every single departments that touch this project, think oh, my god, the mayor is breathing down my neck because that family might experience one morday of homelessness on the streets of san francisco and we've got to get this up. that's what i'm looking for, and i don't know that i'm feeling it. i don't know that this hearing brought it out perfectly in what's missing or what we could do better, but the answers are a little vague, and it is 's a little lucy goosy, and that's what i'm interested in changing. i'm not going to take up more time of my colleagues and belabor this point today. i will work offline both with community members and the city departmen
