whether these residents are city of san city san franciscans or not. i'm from chicago. i live now in west portal. people come in. every new wave of immigrants is rejected by the old. that's how things go. >> that doesn't make it right. >> i'm saying it's a natural thing, but when the government takes action that will result in mass displacement of people which this will. ceqa requires that that impact be analyzed and mitigation measures adopted and implemented. >> my next question is going to be about whether these shuttles are cause a displacement that we are all concerned about and the displacement is happening and goes well beyond the communities described as happening in my district as well that we see because of the explosion of housing prices with significant displacement and we are all concerned about addressing the housing issues that have caused that displacement. i do think that just because it's the tradition of whether it's human innate -- nature or san francisco themselves and that they are causing the problems are to blame i think it has nothing to do with

san francisco where the average rent is more than $3,000. what that means in high cost living cities like san francisco, many san franciscans as much they want to buy health insurance will simply not be able to afford it. in fact, we have spoken with several covered california enrollment counselors who have told us countless stories of people who have met with the counselors to try to buy insurance and once they find out the cost, they simply walk away without signing up for conversation because they simply cannot afford to buy it. in fact, there is a study and it's one of the most studies on the subject that projects that without access to the financial resources that are made available by our local law that in san francisco 40 percent or more of uninsured san franciscans who are eligible for subsidies under the affordable care act would not take it up by 2019. again, 40 percent of san franciscans who would be otherwise eligible to receive insurance under the affordable care act would not sign up because of the issue of cost. my legislation is designed to make health insurance more affordable for san francisco workers and residents. there a

homes they have kids going to school in the city of san francisco unified school district and they go to school with my children and there are everyday san franciscans and they deserve the right to housing in this city. we should be looking at how we can make sure of that right can be extended. and not just extended through whatever dilapidated unit we can provide but how we can bring units that are dilapidated up to code. i believe this legislation is going in the right direction towards that end. more needs to be done for that. i appreciate there are principles that i talked about this year or last year when i was looking at doing legalization of in laws that we are trying to an abide by making sure that housing can remain affordable and extending protections to tennants and making housing more habitable and healthy and looking to homeowner stabilization and working class families that supervisor breed was talking about who own their homes and have their homes for decades who are maybe janitors or sector teachers and this is one way to carve out their income to pay for their mortgage. we have seen in parts of san francisco a huge number of default

san francisco. i come to you not only representing sf city but representing over 8 hundred and 60 partners in san francisco locally and fwoi thousand employees by also a a fifth generation san franciscan living in the city we ask the board to reject the challenge in favor of the pilot program in hopes of easy congestion for the policy first thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please i'm adrian i also work with the bay area couldn't and am a resident of district 9. we've heard about displacement and there's 0 no one saying this is a concern and the appellants are arguing the shuttles are thriving but i ask you to consider statistics san francisco created over 28 thousand jobs last year and in silicon valley those numbers are 48 thousand jobs and absence better on heirs but still around 3 thousand housing units so if you have a region that's attracting people and attracting jobs you're going to faces a housing crisis those shuttles are a symptom not a cause given the carbon and the benefits those shilts have provided and given some of the tortures logic how the buses are saying its bad. the environment i urge you to support f this policy >> consulting and board of superviso

these workers, they are san franciscans and they live here and for decades and decades san franciscans have lived in our city and communicated to -- commuted to the peninsula and now these people are able to take the shuttles. you only have to look at the 101 southbound in the morning or in the afternoon and know that these shuttles are the connections in these terms are a drop in the bucket. you look back and forth a lot of people are doing this. many real san franciscans are commuting down to the peninsula. that's what these buses help facilitate. you know, to tag these buses with our housing crisis, i think is not only isn't unfair but much more significantly than that, it absolutely misses the mark in terms of why we have housing crisis and it does a disservice to addressing that. if we got rid of the shuttles about a thousand people would move to be closer to work. to suggest that it would even touch the exploding prices in the city i think is absolutely inaccurate. we need to focus not only attacking these shuttles but solving our housing problems. so in terms of some of the specific ceqa issues, i do

forefront of supporting efforts by the city to make legal services available for low-income san franciscans. through our jdc, we provide legal representation to low-income san franciscans with a particular focus on eviction defense, family law, and federal benefits advocacy. our eviction defense services are provided by volunteer attorneys as well as our staff attorneys. what is happening in san francisco? last year, our staff and volunteers provided services, eviction defense services to more than 1300 households. what do those numbers tell us? two things. the first is that legal services for low-income households facing eviction are desperately needed in the city. but there is one other thing that those statistics don't tell us. how many of those household were provided full-scope representation? full-scope representation only was provided in 25% of those cases. that means that 75% of those folks did not have an attorney who was qualified and available to take their case to trial if necessary. we did what we can and we leverage our volunteers to make the biggest impact that we can, but qualified legal services staff are really necessary to make a differen

again, owning property in san francisco is very important and a valuable asset and it's an asset that's not available to most san franciscans and for those trying to stay in this city. i also think that the issue of ex collusion of these retirement accounts creates a loophole and provides the possibility that people will simply funnel monday knee through these accounts -- people will simply funnel money into these accounts to avoid paying. if there's a concern about the fairness and the information that needs to be provided by landlords, it's interesting that that concern has raised in the contents of landlords and tenants. if we want uniformity, we need to not create loopholes, but direct the rent board to create uniformity in the rules that they have in place and we heard from the rent board that they're moving in the direction of doing precisely that. i think we should let them do their work instead of creating loopholes that at the end of the day undermine the intent of the legislation. >> supervisor wiener. >> one moment. >> would you like me to provide to -- >> my apologizes, mr. president. i was pulling out the tenant hardship application which specifically
