but today we have -- what affects us as a city and as san francisco as a city is the fact that the institution of racism has been generated from washington, in many ways. when you take a look at the acts that are being treated, the fact that, if he knew as a san francisco, with your child, to go into another country and to check into the airport and have your passport or have your child be removed from you, and not see that child for two months, or three months, and you are putting another room and you end up in a detention centre or in some cases, you are picking your child at school, here in san francisco, and some visitors come and take you away, and your kids, and your wife, many of whom are veterans, vietnam veterans. korean veterans. veterans of afghanistan. men and women of color who have served. this is going on in the bay area it is going on in california. is going on in the nation. the department of public health, this department is involved in a lot of these activities and ought to take care of our most vulnerable. we have to weigh that in the context of our mission as a city i real

a san francisco program is a vital corner stone of the local film community. it creates jobs in the city and keeps productions in san francisco, which otherwise would move to vancouver or l.a. as a resident of san francisco, i see a widening gap between the have and the have nots which is larger than any city i've lived in and i say this as an ex new yorker, supporting the scene in san francisco rebate programs means supporting the middle-class. people don't realize that film is largely a blue collar industry. film jobs require no college free and no pedestrian agree, just training and hard work. the below the line crew makes up film workers and below the line means everyone from a production assistant getting coffee to a camera assistant in charge of the gear to teamsters drives. support these jobs. it is important in a city that fewer can afford. by supporting the rebate program you are supporting struggling workers and helping to make the city stronger. please grant the extension on this program. so i hope you understand the importance of the program and will support this today. >> supervisor yee. >> you mentioned that since 2006, is that since the program started that it's

san francisco department of public health, director of health. we will also be submitting comments in writing. san francisco, as we have heard, is a unique city with a diverse population. we believe the uniqueness should be taken into account when choosing the next director. such an individual should understand the diverse needs of the various racial and ethnic groups and communities that make up san francisco. we believe we have been extremely fortunate to have great leaders in this area from previous directors including barbara garcia and dr katz and dr sandra hernandez. there are a number of other qualifications that we would like to see in the new director. the obvious qualification would be someone who has proven leadership ability and insight into the current healthcare system and the public health needs of san francisco. the next director should be able to tackle the complex organizational and community challenges that we continue to facing our city. we believe that it is imperative the next director have a thorough understanding of clinical practice and what is involved in treating patients as he or she will over see zuckerberg genera

cities of the ability to even discuss potential tools to deal with local housing crisis. particularly in san francisco, where two-thirds of our residents are renters. i say that as a small, proud, landlord with rent-controlled properties in the city and county of san francisco. i know there is concern about vacancy decontrol but costa hawkins does many, many other things. it limits the period of time to which rent control can apply. cities that would like to extend rent control beyond a certain date cannot do so because of costa hawkins. it really limits local cities and counties from being able to implement a host of tools. i want to reiterate a vote for prop 10 is not necessarily a vote for expanding rent control or instituting vacancy control and while i happen to believe that rent control really builds stronger and more stable communities, by keeping tenants in place and as humane, repeeling costa hawkins does not mean that rent control will expand. it means that we can start to have conversations that we have not been able to have for 23 years. i commend it to you. i think it is remarkably important. i think we are responsible -- and we can come up with good

reporter: the analysis compared san francisco to 11 other cities which allocate $8 million a year to clean their streets and sidewalks. you can see san francisco spends more times as much per capita as chicago, which at 277 square miles is nearly five times larger. san francisco spends three times as much as l.a., and substant l substantially more than san jose. the analyst points out that san francisco shells out more bucks, but gets more in return. >> so we measured five core services, and in the other cities, none of them provided them multiple times per week, which we found to be the case in san francisco. so it's a higher level of service. >> reporter: those core services include power washing, cleaning up homeless encampments and responding to complaints. when it comes to those service calls, which is another factor contributing to the higher cost, san francisco is way out front. answering 77,000 calls last year. >> we do have more than double the complaints as baltimore the next city down on that list. >> reporter: this resident praises the effort. >> i think a lot of people give it a tough time, but i see the dollars at work. >> reporter: no one can deny m
