for example, that uber in new york city was required to pay a hardship fee to taxi drivers in that city. so one of the things that we'll do is examine best practices in other cities. before i continue though i want to invite mr. logan from the transportation authority. >> supervisor fewer: hi, mr. logan. >> to share what their vision was for this particular research. >> supervisor fewer: sure. >> hi, commissioners. my name is warren logan. i'm a senior transportation planner at the san francisco county of transportation authority. soon enough our separate commission which is also the board of supervisors, will be hearing our final report, excuse me -- our final report for emerging mobility evaluation and i'm excited to present that to you soon. our vision is to partner with bryan and we're very excited to hear the enthusiasm for understanding the gaps around labor. primarily our focus was on how these different services were impacting congestion. so we recognize, however, that during our initial scope of our guiding principles for emerging mobility, that several of the commissioners encoura

and that's the city special is that it's so relaxed but that's under threat when prices are rising rapidly and the politicians aren't doing enough to change that but that's what gives the city of quality of life another good place to relax is in the district of our torn shown house and many would no doubt love to live in this bungalow it's at least open for public viewing it was the last place a bounce house architect meets found a hole designed in germany. from the houses. and the living quarters open out onto a terrace of the garden. so the two wings of the house basically embrace the garden it's like an active gesture. against. the neighboring district of i sense it is also not short on natural beauty spots it takes its name from a lake that's popular for bathing it's a world away from city life actually not that far from the city center. however we wrap up today show but before we go we would like to let you in on this week's trot we'd like to know which city you would like to discover just go to our website and take part in our survey and by doing so you qualify to win your own max wa

to take in the stunning views here on the rooftops you can see the city's bustling with the markets and everything. it's amazing that. so many. places it's a really beautiful city. elite. cool sale am. sure the. elite. the four people you can. see. right here the benes of the no. illegal alien you. both. talk about. gadhafi. all you all saw both. of them on. edge. we never sang but i think. your analysis of the music t.v. is of the view is what you say. i hope so i think it's been insightful better than listening to me talk about a guy that's michelle thank you very much let's get it out all kinsey's and so she we heard him singing that we've seen in boston as well. one of the talents of you got down to baldly tell us how it's been being involved. in this case it's the first time maybe the last time we'll see such a huge footballing extravaganza on russians. what an incredible month it's been just before going live oh saying to our producer how tartar feel how i miss going back home some oscar actually if on through on us i'm really going to miss this experience what an amazing experience it has been the weather here an

then used this is our a banner to stop at the people in the street don't the city because we feel you and you go to youtube and so all the people can watch our matches more. easily. venice's city council has started a campaign similar to meth towers it's banned eating on public squares bathing in the canals and feeding the pigeons all offenses that carry fines of up to five hundred euros when teo helps distribute the posters. but all over town the rules are ignored some visitors notice the tourist nuisance as it is for you here tourist bellowing in the narrow streets at night so that you can even sleep each laughing as if i were venetian i don't know what i would do if i constantly had to put up with such inconsiderate behavior from tourists at night . when your face showed on this someone used to make sex. in this. famous spots in venice we either the. couples making sex. and their sound. made a movie. i. i i. i was. i he's not ready for sex. i did that he had already. we continue on to sin mock square where the number of visitors every day exceeds venice's resident population it's the city's largest and best kn

make the most of it as well this city has already hosted three major similar events between the leaders of either the soviet union or russia and american presidents as well so the city is no stranger to that i've seen. dolls with vladimir putin and donald trump and a local brewery even prepared special options of beer for the people who will be visiting the house and he at this time so he and says the patient is high. throughout the morning and the day. of course of the talks are going to launch in just a few hours time to stick around we'll have the live coverage of it and well the meeting that not just the meeting of the year but others are calling the meeting of the millennium. it is our international law this weekend saw a major escalation in gaza with israel striking back against an alleged hamas rocket attack artie's middle east correspondent paula we are reports this past weekend the israeli army carried out its largest air strike over gaza since the two thousand and fourteen war it hit several dozen her must targets after more than two hundred mortars and rockets were fired by palestinian militants at israeli communities living along the gaza border

so city boosters wanted to have a fair in order to mark the at occasion and to basically demonstrate their strengths to the rest of the nation and world and to really claim their status as the crown city of the pacific. host: give us a sense of san francisco. this is more than a century ago now. the fire had ended. they were rebuilding the city. prof. markwyn: yes. host: what was the city like, and how did men treat women in 1915? prof. markwyn: how did men treat women in the 1915s? [laughs] was. markwyn: it probably dependent on the man, but san francisco is interesting because california actually had insed a suffrage amendment 1901. 14. so women had the right to vote in california by 1915, which they didn't necessarily have in the rest of the nation. host: that comes in 1920? prof. markwyn: yes, 1920, but some western states passed it on the state level before it was passed on the federal level, so in some ways, certainly women in san francisco had more political options than they might have had in other parts of the country. but certainly by no means do we see the kinds of equalit

so, from my nuclear family, from my city family, thank you from the bottom of my heart. >> thank you, anne, why don't you come into the well so we can grab a shot. [cheering] [applause] [applause] >> all right, ladies and gentlemen. recognize supervisor tang at this time. >> supervisor tang: all right. thank you, and thank you once again at d.e.m. staff and anne cronenberg's family who is all here. i would like to bring up some individuals representing pier 39. i wanted to recognize them on the skip the straw campaign on the occasion that we are going to be voting on final reading our plastic straw ban here in san francisco. and so we have sue le vin here from pier 39, kathy paver, sherry ends, and george jacobs. and i do know that taylor stafford, president and c.e.o. of pier 39 wanted to be here but could not make it. we wanted to recognize pier 39 today because they actually have started the skip the straw campaign ahead of our legislation here at the board of supervisors. more than 15 million guests come to pier 39 each year, so, as a city we really have that responsibility, or th

or so the rules we are there to support them every city every country needs a unique approach and so we don't believe that one size fits all solution are there to be cut and paste from from a source there are regulation regional syrian national level there's stronger regulation in other places i think different regulations. what he's saying is city council could intervene if it wanted to. over at its offices on the canonical under the familiar with the problem. is the city's head of tourism. and no doubt but want to. be provides accommodation for tourists and that's dealt with differently under italian law from private rentals it all. but at our last meeting with the ministry we decided that we here in venice must join forces with the other four major tourism centers namely florence rome milan and. oh my we have to sit down with air b.n. b. and negotiate. naturally we can't ban these types of rentals but we need to combat the phenomenon for instance by ensuring that renting to tourists isn't as lucrative as running to locals or students. or nothing. she's unable to tell me how my cit

question to supervisor kim and maybe i'm not fully understanding this, either, so either to supervisor tang or deputy city attorney jon givner. so if a project sponsor pulled a site permit within 36 months, could they then just hold on for that a long time before getting building permits and breaking ground in order to extend the length of the entitlement? >> that's how i was reading it, and it was a concern, but maybe i'm reading it wrong. >> mr. givner: yeah. it may be that planning staff can answer that, but it sounds actually more like a question that d.b.i. staff is best suited to answer about what steps you need to take and when following your building permit. >> supervisor ronen: so the idea is that 36 months after entitlements, if the project isn't breaking ground, then they lose the benefit that they've gained under home-sf. and so the -- this language is really confusing, maybe? or maybe it's the standard language and i'm worried about something that i don't need to be worried about? but my worry is because it's an "or," there's a way to kind of game the system and pull the site permits within 3

so we have been meeting with the city since then to figure out next steps, and then, we recently decided to form the design review group, and so we're still working on this toolkit, too, so we're going to get that done in the next month or so. so that's kind of a lot of information for you about the senior and disability work group. we're going to keep working on the protected bike lane work because we're not done yet. and then this year, we're going to work on safe streets for people with disabilities. we love the safe streets for seniors program, and we really want to see an equal focus on folks with disabilities. so that is the first group that we are fortunate to be involved with. the other group is near and dear, i know, to supervisor yee's heart, san francisco and bay area families for safe streets. so commissioner stefani, i don't know if you've had a chance to hear about this group yet, so i'm excited to get to tell you about it. so walk sf has the great privilege of working with this group and supporting this group, which is why i'm here to tell you about it. so sf bay area fami

excited to fix more stuff and we're excited to get to work so, again, thank you all for coming and thank you all -- especially to my residents and the city agencies, we can't do it without any of you. our resident engagement is the most important part of the fix-it program so a big thank you to everybody and, of course, mayor breed for this very important, very needed investment in our city. so thank you all. [applause] and one more thing -- sorry -- we're going to end now but i wanted to just let you know that i started working in patrero a year ago and we put in staffing to help with the street cleanliness and we forgot to change around the trash cans so we got that fixed today. we have new trash cans, and we are going to have mayor breed help me to unveil one right here on the stairs. so i will take her down there. thank you. [applause] and last but not least make sure that you call 311 because that data helps us to decide on places that we will invest in in this city. 31. you can also -- 311. you can also download the app. thank you. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... all right. woo!

kinds of outcomes we want to see for the city, and we'll be working with stakeholders and experts to identify those outcomes and try to translate them into the goals. so, what are the kinds of outcomes, stabilizing reversing low and moderate income households, reducing costs and costs burden, housing needs of diverse groups, and of course supporting our city's existing framework and to address homelessness. what are the tools that we'll be thinking about? well, broadly speaking, we'll be thinking about protection and community stablization. affordable housing production and preservation, and funding sources, as well as about different programs that we have through the code or other means to produce affordable housing. and then overall housing production and how that fits into our efforts to improve affordability. so, how will we be working with a diverse array of stakeholders and experts to inform the project? we'll be having a number of workshops and forums to discuss the needs, outcomes and tools, with diverse community members. we'll be meeting regularly with housing advocates from different policy perspectives, and we'll also be coming regularly t

i am departing city hall. so mayor breed will be naming her own chief of staff. >> wait a minute. >> so good luck. bye. so i'll be staying through the inauguration and then mayor breed will name her own chief of staff, and that person will be -- will need your support. and will need your guidance and your wisdom and your experience to lead him or her through whatever is going to come be it natural disasters or manmade or whatever it is. so i ask if i can ask you for a favor, it is to be as open and communicative as we have always been with me with the other person that will succeed me. i know it goes without saying that you will help mayor breed as well. i just ask that you extend that partnership to the staff of the incoming mayor because continuity of government on this work here is more important than anything else, right? as i said before, public safety is our numb per one responsibility as a local government, so that is a favor i would ask of you and to keep the work going and there are nonprofit and private
