there is a starkness to the idea that earlier today, we were talking about rental subsidies to corporations that are doing quite well, and now, i am here on the same day, talking about losing housing in the very area for people, so that starkness is not lost on me with a contradiction about this. we see these kinds of cuts before us on the very same day. chair chu: 80. are there any other speakers who would like to speak on this item -- thank you. seeing none, this item is closed. [gavel] i will ask that we filed this item. i fully expect that between now and when the budget is up, there will be multiple conversations with the board, the mayor, different constituencies. without objection. but -- [gavel] please read item number four. clerk young: a resolution adopting the city's 10-year capital expenditure plan for fiscal years 2012 and 2021. >> amy brown. good afternoon, supervisors. you're acting city supervisor. -- administrator. 2012 to 2021. differing projects without funding sources. these capital improvements will create more than 160,000 local jobs over the next decade. we obviously

quoted to you last week there were 31,131 units recorded housing in san francisco, that stands in stark contrast to a we had in the year 2000 where 16,827 units were reported vacant. an increase in vacancies from 4.8% in 2002 8.3% in 2010. -- 4.8% in 2000, 8.3% in 2010. we are creating a theoretical additional vacancies. i'm not saying it do not approve, but i would like to see something not how i look at the vacancy and what opportunities there are and what challenges are posed to us in decision making. with respect to what i heard from public comment a few minutes ago, i sit on the treasure island citizen advisory. this group, together, tried to find information, what input structure financing district means. there is not a route -- there might be some experts who know something about it, but it's an uncharted tool from what i understand in the state of california. i think florida has practiced it and i am really not repeating any knowledge, repeating what i have been able to gather. i want to be respectfully ask for your indulgence. i'm not an expert by a long shot. but the question

so we are faced with the stark reality of having to come up with mechanisms to fund the affordable portion of affordable housing on treasure island or we are giving up totally on trial in having any additional affordable housing. i would strongly urge this commission and by the redevelopment agency, the former counsel of the redevelopment agency, the former director of the redevelopment agency and former planning commissioner to give you were detailed discussion. president olague: thank you. >> thank you. for once, i'm not here to address you on housing issues. i am here as a neighbor near a proposed chase bank branch that is relocating -- that is locating a big branch without complying with the formula retail law. i am very disturbed by what appears to be on this project, a concerted effort to rewrite the planning code and prevent this branch from having a conditional use hearing before you. it's a major issue that applies not only to this proposed bank but many other categories of what are clearly formula retail under the planning code and are not being treated as such by the department.

this tragedy as well as the upheaval in the middle east and north africa served as stark reminders of how intertwined our world economy is. world events beyond our control can affect all of us. it makes it all the more important that we control the things we can. i want to speak with you about one of the threats we are experiencing personally. that is rising energy prices. i want to share some of the steps republicans are ready to take right now. the steps will protect america from international conflicts, create thousands of new jobs, reduce our budget deficit, and help bring energy prices back down to earth. nationwide, gasoline prices have risen by 40 cents over the last month. they have more than doubled since january of 2009. a gallon of gas is heading north of $4. that is not just pain at the pump. it is crippling for anyone with bills to pay, groceries to buy, or a long commute. when gasoline prices go up, families and businesses are stretched thin. budgets are harder to balance. jobs are destroyed. if energy prices keep climbing, our nation could slip back into recession just
