one is we talk about san francisco's growing economy, and it's especially growing in the tech sector. there was a report in the paper today from the bay area council study and uc berkeley study there is a great multiplying effect happening right now with jobs created but i'm wondering if the city having greater or in the water to make sure that we are building a pipeline between long-term local residents especially comments of color with jobs in the tech center would be something that we look at possibly, but that's an interest i have. there is an example in our packet that talks about looking at trees and the issue of relinquishment right now in san francisco and tip -- stipically before a progress issue and it's a burden to be responsible to take care of trees. is there a way to reestablishing foresteration program and tree maintenance program in san francisco and part of work force development. that to me is an interesting idea and cuts across the politics in the city. that was an example provided in our packet. i am also interested in the municipal bank idea that is also an exampl

end of the agenda and was not talked about a lot of times and no, there was no discussion about the tech companies, all of this plan was -- had already been moved forward by the time the twitter tax break and all of that had gone through, so no, that was not taken into consideration. >> yeah, and i think in my opinion, this is just an opinion, the plan processed in -- you know, in regards to entertainment, i think a lot of the effort currently just came recently, you know, the supervisor said, hey, i want to look at how entertainment is being addressed here. i don't know, i think if you're asking, do they take into consideration what's happening in 2012, i don't think it really is, i think if you look at the net housing and the net jobs that are being developed through the plan, you're looking at a marginal increase of what the current plan is versus the proposed plan, so yeah, so i mean, i have to think about it more but honestly, i don't think it's been a process that's enabled a lot of opportunity for growth. >> thank you. >> okay, so again, behind this memo, take it home, take a look

have to protect your comfort with that relationship to a much greater degree than i think some of the techompanies have, too. the internet at one point hatt had more experimentation with the subscription model. most of the internet has blown past that. we don't do rfs, anymore to web pages, very few products are offered in subscription unless you're an organization like "new york times." most of it is just who lands here for what purpose. i get paid if you push the click. i don't get paid if you don't push the click. i don't care whether you like it -- i hate to say it but at some level don't care whether you like what there is or not as long as you do the things that cause the monetary machine to turn over. and that's a very different approach to the consumer than we're required to have, and i think we're a culture that is more conservative. about that. than most cultures. mark zuckerberg, one of the great pioneers, many of them fromol a philosophical standpoint that information was men to be free and they're in this never-ending battle with governmental forces about where the line is, be
