not a happy valentine's day. it was not a love affair on valentine's day with the taxi industry. we get this proposal. the town hall meetings went well, but the attendance was horrible, which segues into another issue. first, chris hayashi did a great report on the busting of the illegal taxicabs and limousines, and i think you should look at the video that was on the television station channel 5. i can send you the link if you give me your email address. it is a great story. she did a great job. in terms of letting people know about these town hall meetings, it has been horrible. horrible. i am sorry to say it so loud, but how can people attend if you do not do widespread posting, at the airport, insisted that it is posted at the cab companies, it did the emails out. please schedule another town hall meeting in the future before this goes before you, or you are wasting everyone's time, or you will be having hundreds of cabdrivers here on the 6th or the 20th. do you want to that? the other thing is, why are you still looking at this under this category? you are still looking at t

happy valentine's day, and thank you, gregg, for that very kind introduction. thank you for inviting me here again. it is a wonderful opportunity to talk about san francisco, our business climate, and what i can try to do to improve it, and how i can cooperate with oakland. i want to thank all of you because you played a great part in our economy and what we do and how we do it. i am happy to be here this morning to join all of you, and i am thrilled to be able to do this again. a year ago, i stood before you, and i had only been in office for seven weeks as the interim mayor of san francisco. the unemployment rate in our city was 9.5%. our city was faced with about $380 million deficit, and we were struggling with how to meet a rising and increased cost in our pension and health-care obligations. a year later, our city has come together to tackle pension reform and balance the budget. most importantly, we put people back to work. in the last 12 months, we have created jobs for more than 17,300 san franciscans, bringing our unemployment rate to 7.6%. that is th

[applause] and thank you all for climbing out of your tents and sleeping bags to occupy the oakland convention center here this morning at such an early hour. it has been a tough year for the cities of oakland and san francisco. both have been handed some very large lemons to deal with. but before we get a feeling too sorry for ourselves, let's look at someone who has also been dealt a few lemons -- president obama. he has been dealing with record unemployment, the bankruptcy of general motors, osama bin laden, two wars to clean up. but somehow, in spite of all his problems, he is turning lemons into lemonade. lower unemployment, a new gm, no more osama bin laden, and an imminent end to two very pesky wars, which when complete, will have earned him his nobel peace prize.
