first we make the cities, and then the cities make us. do we live together? how do we move together? how do we stay healthy together? - for me, a conversation about the future of cities on a human scale obviously includes... bikeability. remember my friend areli? well, she's been awarded the title of "bike mayer" by fellow bike activists. we're testing the streets of this car-addicted city on two wheels. according to her, it took 10 years for authorities to accept that urban cycling was more than just a hobby, and another 10 to actually build a few bike lanes. ecobici helped spark the change. the bike-sharing service is now the largest year round system in the americas. has that had a positive impact on the city? for sure. i think it gave a lot of people the opportunity to experience first hand that bicycling, it's a thing!

, the chief executive of the city, the leader of the city to also do the little things thatbe aren't considered broad vision or big goals or fancy. we need to fill potholes, we need to repair sidewalks. we need to make sure the trash gets picked up and the lights get turned on every single evening. that we are fulfilling not just the basic city services, which lead to a high quality of life in this city, but that we are responding quickly in doing that work. it's not fancy, but it's important. moderator: briefly, please. >> each one of our plans that we've put out comes from the little details that are affecting people's lives and that are stressing boston residents across the city. when i talk about a boston green new deal, that means doubling the number of street trees in boston so that we are providing temperatures that are livable, that we are cleaning the air. when i talk about a green new deal, it's shifting to electric school buses to get diesel pollution out of the lungs of our young people in our neighborhoods. this is about the day to day that we can only fix if we

so maybe the city there, the old city, is the only effective watchdog that can prevent the new part from being detached from reality, from the common good and from the people. very efficient. everything is all in here. now we are arriving on the first floor. this huge place we call "the galleria." wow! it's beautiful! yes. so from here you can see how close we are to the building. in the middle. this is a good point of view. - paola bonara is a very busy woman. she's a doctor, a mother, she sings in a choir and she's one of the citizens who fought for years to transform cascina cuccagna, a 17th century abandoned farmhouse right in downtown milan into an open space. the idea was to preserve this heritage building in a way that would turn it into a functional place for locals. all in all, it took paola and friends more than 15 years to get this show on the road, but the result was a game changer and an inspiration for citizens all over the city. and that's a good thing, because there are 18 other farmhouses in a state of total abandonment just waiting for similar projects to bring them bac

the outline of the city of los angeles eight of the largest cities in the nation sitting with room topare in between. and survey teams which were literally went down every street of the city to identify historic resources. it's a great deal of research had been done you think historic content, community engagement for six -- nine months before were out in the field to capture the collective knowledge in crowd source information in every community about places that local places that might be not be obvious architecturally. all of that got loaded into tablets and pcs as you can see here with the set of drop-down menus so that survey could be completed for the first time ever is an all digital survey out in the field with photos link to that. this information is now all available on our comprehensive inventory website at historic places l.a..org. the home screen is showing here with a photo as well on our website. this is meant to really guide the planning of the city. we can only plan the future of our cities, plan for greater density what communities are going to be preserved if we kno

the city attorney's office here in this city is arguably the number one city attorney's office anywhere in the country and it is because of the leadership of our current city attorney and i know there are big shoes to fill and so in making a decision like this, it's not a decision that you take lightly. it's important to do what is in the best interest of the city and ultimately assembly member chiu will be doing this job for the next couple of months until you, the people of the city of san francisco make your decision. he is the peoples' attorney. he represents the people of the city and county of san francisco and, ultimately, you are the ones who decide and i think that over the years many of you and hands down, he is one of the most gracious, hardworking, consensus building, structured, relentless, pursuit of justice person i know. i've worked with him for many, many years on so many issues starting with the board of supervisors and before i bring david chiu up to say a few words, i remember when i was elected to the board of supervisors and one of the first supervisors who reached

of education's portion of the 1% from the city's portion. as such, it was included in the amount to pledge the i.r.f.d., and this is not allowed under state i.r.f.d. law, which prohibits the 1% property taxes from being pledged. this revised table shows the new amount with the county of education portion broken out and excluded. and we're also extending the percentages out per state law. the final amendment will allow the city to eliminate the special election requirements of the i.r.f.d., only if state i.r.f.d. law is changed. this is specifically in reference to the state's recent decisions to amendment the enhanced infrastructure financing district, or e.i.f.d. law, for taxing industries opting in to pledge. the reason is there is not a new tax being levied. it is just the apportionment of the 1%. and the city would still be doing all of the financial impact analysis required to annex new properties into the r.f.d., but would extend the timeline, which we are currently undergoing. as you can see, this is the process. we're up here, and we'

that worked on things for the city. i understand some of the challenges in terms of size and in terms of coordinating with crimes and what it means to be given a leg up in an opportunity to provide services here in san francisco. but as many things, this program has graduated and needs to expand and it needs to grow and i think that this is the right time to raise the threshold. so also in terms of having more accountability for the primes in terms of any violations that they might have and violating the work they do, i think having a clear definition of those fines is really important and just overall having a program here in san francisco that makes us unique that really fosters women-owned businesses owned by people of color business that is are homegrown, i think it's so important to have this program. so thank you to all involved and thank you to everyone for being a strong supporter of this and thank you for all the people that called in today that have been participating and making this better and i know that the

and the city is being led by mr. adams going through that interdepartmental process to determine whether projects are viable for purchase and what that would mean for our city. at the same time, this budget committee working with the oversight committee and the mayor's office and through her leadership allocated significant money to the acquisition pool to be able to buy properties to create and increase our stock of affordable housing in the city. the grenada -- and remind me, mr. adams, the grenada and the -- two properties -- right. grenadaa and the diva last year were purchased. it was a very fast process. part of that the city had the ability to be competitive, but also the negotiations moved quickly. and just like that the city was able to acquire over 300 units of housing. those units of housing are a fraction of the cost of what it would take to build the same affordable housing in this city. it is upwards of over $800,000 a unit. the average cost of acquiring the hotel is less than $350,000 per unit. even whe

just a few kilometers from the city center, the neighborhood of ford city is experiencing an unexpectedrenaissance. this once industrial district was established by the ford motor company in the early 1900s. it thrived for a few decades until ford closed its plant in the 1950s. the neighborhood rapidly declined, becoming one of the poorest areas in the entire city. after years of struggle, it's now making an impressive comeback. there was a building there at some point and in many cities, there would be a fence. somebody owns that. property owners should stay off my land, but here it's wide open, there's grass, it could be a park. i think that's really interesting. all of these spaces become sort of impromptu gathering spaces. there's a street fest that happens here and everyone of theses spaces gets taken over by a different use. windsor had this notion of having to invent; windsor made ideas, a windsor solution for a windsor problem... it is kind of bad, because you know, i work in detroit, i see how things are happening there. i see the progress that's being made. i lived in toronto

the city. all the issues we faced before the pandemic continues. one of the biggest issues has everything to do with housing and affordability. when i talk about housing and how important it is to move forward, it has everything to do with growing up in san francisco and watching it become less and less affordable. watching friend and family move out of san francisco. people making decisions about whether or not to have children because of affordability. when i think about my life in san francisco, there were challenges and this is an amazing city and there is no other place i would rather be than in san francisco. but also i want to make sure that we are sharing in those opportunities. i talked to so many people in this community in particular and the conversation i have with them when i was first running for mayor, scott weaner has this bill that i think most people on the west side was completely adamantly opposed to and the conversation i would constantly have is how long have you been here?

my second question is, and this is for the city attorney. the planning commission decided that the shadow impacts on the historic resource were a necessary -- were an impact that couldn't be mitigated and chose to override that impact. what if the board decides differently? what if we decide that it shouldn't be overridden? do we have that power? >> supervisors, through the chair, [indiscernible], deputy city attorney. the approval in this case was a conditional use, and the ceqa findings are a requirement of any approval. so after an e.i.r. is prepared, then, the agency adopting the project needs to make ceqa findings. in this case, they override the ceqa findings, and the conditional use was not appealed to the board as it could have been. so technically, under ceqa, the overrides are not within your purview. what's within your purview are the certification of e.i.r. if you find that the e.i.r. is inadequate, you can reject it, but the review of the findings themselves are part of the approval, the underlying approval. >> supervisor ronen:
