i would want to know some of them are bad but not not all just because i met some police officers s.f. at the disrupt. description and so i'm at. claims that i don't want to beg her on but the closest thing i can give you type them by saying all of them a bit because that'll be done with someone new to me they start with so many times they go to call here by me like yeah yeah i'm against the that's what happened against theirs they get pulled over by the cops you know when really i'm not really against it is maybe still like that you know it made me feel like i was i wouldn't even wanted in my own society. might be pretty shortly to say. the least productive. than may be. i was a little. bit ahead of the game. for those who do get arrested the rollies the courthouse in orleans parish prison known as opie p c c interviews two brothers about being locked up you have been all be. right there your parents about would be. right the clearly the error message does doesn't when you don't. know the no beef with them. or a fill the out both of them are pretty good and if that education. were yo

i'm a member of walk s.f., [speaker not understood] car share and bay area bike share program. and this is my 10 year anniversary of riedl a bike to work, company shuttle and bike to work. they helped solve answers to commuters like me who doesn't want to drive down to the south bay. it is a similar responsive solution to residents currently being faced in san francisco. it is proposed by city staff and thank you for your continuing [speaker not understood] to residents of san francisco and the larger bay area. thank you. >> thanks much. next speaker, please. >> howard strassner followed by [speaker not understood]. >> good afternoon, [speaker not understood]. >>> good afternoon, i'm howard strassner and i'm privileged to ride muni over 50 years to get to work and around. so, thank you very much for that. but this program and pilot study is long past due. we have to get on with it. there is so much to be studied in detail to be fund out. so, i want to speak for a moment to things perhaps not covered. in the past studies they showed how buses were trying to maneuver around vario

and, you know, the s.f.8, they were seniors like myself, all black. one of them worked in this building for 25 years and they were going to jail. i spent a year in there on $2 million bail because they were black and they stood up for their rights. so, i know that's what they want to do here because believe me, there's going to be upsurge in this society when the economic collapse occurs. people are right now chomping at the bit. i've been chomping at that bit for 40 years because something has to be done in this society to end this disparity in wealth. and that's going to happen. that's what they want a new jail for and also to keep the sheriffs occupied and hired. they're building a bureaucracy little big he. we don't need a new jail in this town. we need jobs, we need housing, health care. that's where we can put this money. it's unconscionable to think about building a jail at this time. thank you.

it's simply described as s.f. general hospital on their website. not too many people know, but what goes on there. if they did, i don't think they'd stand for it. i call it the snake pit. i haven't seen a movie, but it's that kind of experience. it's a unit that's run with little humanity. i've shared these experiences with patients rights advocate. she was appalled. i don't know what the jurisdiction is between the board and the sheriff's department, but i know there is some. so, let me tell you a little bit about who i am. i'm a 54-year old white policy analyst with a masters in public policy from u.c. berkeley. the relevance of that is twofold. first, i provided some recommendations about closing l-7 and what to do about it. second, i ask you to imagine the increased vulnerability of the less educated and people of color who are probably the ones who mostly fill that unit. i mean, even for me it is hard just to get here. i've been meaning to come for weeks, but i just couldn't do it. so, i've provided a copy of a five-page document. in the time

i was transported to s.f. general. i was unconscious and i was the equivalent of a jane doe. i think my name was rita on my bracelet. i underwent a six hour surgery five days later to have my face recorrected. i have titanium plates in my face and underwent a lot of work to feel safe again to walk in the streets of san francisco. i'm also an avid environmentalist and i sold my car in order to fund my business. and, so, i'm an avid muni rider and pedestrian. so, i'm putting my faith in the city, i'm putting my faith in what you decide. and i also walk courageously every day to work and to live my life. it's also a tragedy for the drivers who do hit pedestrians. so, there are many, many victims in this. i would never want to be that person who hits a pedestrian. so, these improvements, we know where they can happen. [speaker not understood] happen in soma. it happened going from a one way onto a two way. so, i urge you to make these changes and to adopt vision zero. >> thank you very much for sharing your story. appreciate you being here. thank you. >> henry pan and madelein sa

when we met in the chamber last week, all three of you were present in the bike coalition and walk s.f. that they alluded to the fact that the associated very -- abag is speaking that the population in san francisco will exceed 1 million people by 20 40. ~ as a native san franciscan who remembers years when we were in the mid 600,000s, that's a lot of people. we're at about 8 25,000 now. so, if we have another 175,000 people and 60,000 more shifts of police officers working, i think it clearly demonstrates that we're going to need some sort of a facility here in san francisco if not just to process folk. i couldn't agree more with people who spoke about the county jails and the hall of justice. i think it's commendable the sixth floor has been effectively closed. that said, having some experience with fear of the earthquake that's going to happen at some point in time in the next x amount of years, when we speak to our most vulnerable population, certainly one of them is folks that are incarcerated because they're incarcerated. so, the clock is ticking. we need to get something done. i
