adequate -- without taking in really what city college needs and hearing from the people who are directly impacted by the plan. so, we really want to make sure that the value of city college are included in that, diversity, lifelong learning and education as a human right. so, the administration is trying to release a draft plan in mid april. at the hearing yesterday, at the meeting, they did not say there would be -- holding any more meetings. at the very last minute the chancellor said that they would start holding more in-public sessions. but i think we he need to continue to push the administration to do what's right and actually hear more input from the community that has not been included in this plan. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker.

part of the answer the extent those go from under freeway parcels and the development the city can capture some value sdlo through property tax and the mechanism we normally capture. the city doesn't have to own it to capture the value mostly of our land use plans have created the fund for other improvement >> i was hoping i could talk about the proper. >> there's multiple ways to capture revenue the transit center captured additional revenue from the rezoning of the parcels and impact fees and additional community facilities the taxes that go to tjpa project and other infrastructure. as director edward reiskin pointed out just undertaking those for example, xhooerts project would make the area is better and just like taking down did embarcadero freeway changed the waterfront helped and studies have shown it increased property values by thirty percent. there's mechldz like in the financing district or other ways to capture the broad value beyond the immediate development >> and part of the scope of the study is examining the boundary. >> yeah. we would look at that and the whole financial economic pi

to me, these are great values that the city hopes for, and to see someone who i think is doing some good work and really reaching out to communities of color in san francisco is pretty frightening to me because i think we should be making sure folks like this are able to continue to work in the city and to make sure that the interaction with our communities are much greater. thank you. [cheering and applauding] >> commissioners, when the constituents of san francisco elected you all, they elected you all so that y'all could pay attention to due process. right from the inception, after what the director stated, the statements pertaining to the director stated should be general in nature. but out of the goodness of your heart, you commissioners committed [speaker not understood] manager and the supervisor, accommodated them to make some statements, which in my suggested opinion, infringes on the real agenda item. i served my country, serving two genres. i worked for the united states, united states army and presidio, san francisco. i worked for the national park service. and before i retir

what the benefit of the landlord is obvious, i think it's very difficult to see the value that the city may gain. the building has been a design center for the /kwaeus has not changed during the past 30 years . it will most likely remain in tact for another 30 and there is no evidence whatsoever to the contrary to its architectural appearance. i'm sure you're well aware the property is central to the thriving design center community and it is in fact, a destination for interior home if your furnishings throughout the state. we have national and international clients that come to the city for shopping. to exploit the loophole the designation i believe is among many other businesses is bad for california, worse for san francisco and certainly terrible for businesses. i think it sets a wrong precedent in the district with implications to the city. i urge the commission to disapprove the recommendation and recommend an oversight committee to look into the overall impact in an effort a address the loophole. we need a bit of cooperation to make -- if the designation is a landmark it should on

i find it ridiculous that the administration is not holding up the values of this city. they're basically saying, yes he, you can come to this city and we allow you to work, but in this [speaker not understood] you're not allowed to be educated. this administration has to get rid of [speaker not understood]. thank you. >> thank you.

it saw itself as an ideal city, as the modern culmination of the ancient city-state with its good life, its humane values, its sense of play, even. and it dramatized itself as an ideal city, both for its own inhabitants and for the world outside. this civic drama was acted out through processions, ceremonies, and spectacle, and through art and architecture, but this grand illusion, whose stage was the city itself, was founded in reality. by the 1500s, venice claimed 1,000 years of history as a free and independent republic. the chill wind of economic change-- the decline of empire-- had not yet touched its self-confidence. it was still rich in trade and crafts. its imperial possessions still spread out across the mediterranean and into the italian mainland, as here at vicenza. so the theater and the spectacle were props for a powerful empire which had survived for so long by hardheaded business acumen, by skillful diplomacy, and when those failed, by sheer military force. the cast of characters who paraded on this spectacular stage included the gods of antiquity, whose attributes the city took as its own

city should be for the one hundred percent i believe as many others the character city is represented by everybody being valuednd everybody who wants to live here stay here. had i see the new economy i'm excited we're about creating jobs in the city but there are excess thatnesss that occur we want to take care of long term residents. i used to be an attorney representing residents of this area and fought for the international hotel that represented citizens and we lost the battle but we got people who were beginning to create our crazy whether in business or nonprofits or end up being members of the board of supervisors or the mayor that we would also try to take care of everybody and this reform is an effort to do that. yes, we have to go to the state my i'm really glad our former supervisor and a board president but someone who has remained all the promises that they can help us to reform the ellis act. it's a coalition of businesses and a coalition of government officials of nonprofits like randy shaw and dean and others and it's going to be a large coalition of longer resident in the city that come togeth

a lot of times in this process and but each time we clungd this brings love value to the general plan of the city and in particular in terms of our policies and vision around open space. so quickly why we should update this element. the last open space element was adapted in 1986 and there were a lot of plans and priority in that document that is already implemented like preserving the presidio park or other plans or the national areas. a lot of those have been implement so it would creating a visionary forward-looking document policy document for us so we noted to update that. also to update the acquisition priority based on old data in that document. we also horde a lot about guidance and conserving our open space also the need for community engagement and participation. as well as including new prove that to open spaces supplemental spaces living alleys and privately owned open spaces and also shifting our focus on local by diversity and a nature in general. so i want to go through briefly the proposed objectives and policies of this document. so the very first objective focuses on basically m

city $1000 to hook up. what they brought to it, it is not even close to what we are going to have going forward. the valuet is amazing. the city took out a bond for $39 million. that was 10 years ago. we were to appoint point where the only thing that was still good was the fiber. half of the cost was the fiber and half was the switches. it had to be replaced. google came along and they did it instead of us. we cannot put a number of what that is. but it is a large amount of money. they connected the two thirds of our homes which we would've not been able to do. they do that for no charge to the city. >> they'll get paid for the service? >> yes. if you want the gig, that a $70. if you wanted tv, that is another $50. >> i don't care what the cost to the consumer. the interesting thing is the way this lays on top of the rest of their business. as well as their own band width. they're developing a big business in the end. >> in cities like austin, at&t is stonewalling google. what is the reality that they will be able to roll this out significantly in more cities? >> i think that is an open question. they ha

conducting audit follow up ensures our department to enhance change and city agencies and city management and assess the value of our work. our office does two kinds of follow up work. regular and field follow up. our regular follow up procedures are done for all of our reports and memorandums and auditees are required to report at 6 months, 12 months and 2 years. after 2 years, the department if they have not yet resolved those issues we will include those recommendations in our annual report of recommendations not implemented after 2 years which we will begin this process at the end of this fiscal year and we'll present 245 -- that report to you. in the follow up process we may select certain audits in the field follow up. we go back to gather evidence to go by whether each method was implemented. we tuesday approach for the candidates for the field follow up and the factors that could qualify an audit for high risk is large financial impact and weaknesses, to errors, safety issues and high risk of slides. over the next few slides i will provide information for the last quarter and overview of follow up act

relentlessly -- we've been progressing trying to take away the [speaker not understood] in city college of san francisco values of including everybody and giving people a chance to come back when they finish their work, one aspect of their work life and when they're retired come back, they always wanted to learn. all the things about them in city college, this accjc and the little crowd, they've just been progressing along trying to destroy and take it away from us. i would urge every member of the board of supervisors who is here, those who are watching, those who will vote on this. it will be unconscionable if all of you, [speaker not understood] if this is not a unanimous vote in support of this resolution. i'd like to read a statement from the chairman of music department. she said and asked me to read this. please. in this letter she said, the student [speaker not understood] at ccsf is a very talented music student who has along with many other students been trying to convince the current administration to reverse its decision to not finish building the voter approved and funded ccsf performing arts educ

chairman condos sold for $88 million but valued at the city at only 2.8 million. his property taxes according to statements amounted to less than $60,000. a spokeswoman says de blasio is open to studying changes to the system. for more, i was a bring in the real estate development firm related companies and the man behind the time warner center and a development on the west side of new york. that is incredible to me. when i saw those numbers, sandy while selling his apartment for $88 million but valued at only 2.8 -- is something wrong? >> there is definitely an inactivity -- in equity -- inequity. tremendous all commercial -- on drivingu up the rent andndertax and single-family homes but what needs to happen is a shift and a reallocation of taxes between commercial buildings and single-family. so, yes, the park avenue apartments, central park west -- >> still getting tax subsidies -- >> they are still getting tax subsidies and there needs to be a reallocation from commercial rental buildings back to the single-family and co-ops and condos. >> what would it take t

city,spreads from city to the value goes up and up. $2.5 billion is how much it was worth a year ago., $10 billion. phenomenal. it is getting people very excited. >> as alix friedman was saying, everybody around us says, why have i not started a tech company? tell us about the background. >> when you look at the people who backed this company from the start, early investors are the likes of sequoia. they backed whatsapp as well. also, founders fund. that is peter thiel, one of the first backers in facebook. he also knows how to pick a company that is off to a good running. he put money in airbnb. now they need deeper pockets. capital,going to tpg the other big capital firms. >> i guess with a lot of these disruptors, regulation is still a problem. it hasn't been properly put in fore, who pays insurance? >> it is very safe in terms of insurance. airbnb has put that in place themselves. the regulatory concern is about the council. is york is saying, it against our rules for you to rent an apartment for less than 30 days with a tenant not there. paris is getting concerned, berlin is gett

values in the suburbs. it's not attractive to live 40 and 50-mile away as they do from american cities. >> it's not attractive and it's not affordable. many of those people are going broke or spending more on transportation costs than their housing costs. property values are already starting to fall in those areas, and for many people, there is a whole school of people who think those communities are going to be the next slums. >> by the way. in certain other countries in europe, it's the suburbs that are not as desirable versus the city. but this does depend on infrastructure to support it. cities with the right infrastructure that's often public transit and housing stock. where do you see this--who are the cities set to gain from this? >> city narrative over all is that all cities here in the u.s. but globally as well, and certainly here in new york city, washington, d.c. chicago, lots of stuff happening in chicago. but places like providence, rhode island, columbus, ohio, cleveland, investment is going in downtown area. >> and there is property in a lot of these cities that you mentioned that has not been

position that excludeing gay people, that sort of don't ask, don't tell policy is not the values of new york cityr of boston. >> so you've seen this movement change in sort of social thinking, but money talks as well. when we were talking about guinness, heineken, sam adams, apple, jpmorgan chase, a lot of corporations that have not been on board with any sort of discrimination against gays, whether it's here or go back to last month's controversy in arizona. >> i think this is exactly the point. that what is happening is there exists a legal standard by which they are allowed to exclude certain people. so what's happened in the classic tradition of american protest is people have said in that case, i'm going to use the other levers at my disposal. and one of the things that mayor de blassio said is i will join in this protest. we're all going to take a stand. even though you may legally do this, we don't feel it -- >> the ethnic heritage parades in new york city that some of which are from very conservative constituencies like the columbus day parade, the west indian day parade, celebrate israel

this is why we promoted programs like cast to try to find ways to control the land values and land use and to use the city's economic success to get that land control. the ocii or whatever agencies that we have so that we can control land cost and invite the artist and artistic community to join us cloelg these land cost. we don't do that. if i don't get more of these land cost in control, then we are subject to the natural forces going on. our success will eat away at our local arts programs. we can't have that happen. i want to say to the whole arts commission, our helping hand, connect up with ocii and connect with office of economic development, use our success to turn around those properties that are getting out of control with our success. let's get some control in on this. let's invite more of our community based arts programs to join us, our local businesses to join. our foundational to support, our larger economic institutions that are led by kaiser and so many others. join in that economic, make the connection, make land control. we are not going to let the opera house and memorial get away from u

they said the color didn't fit with the historic value of the building and the city denied that appeal. they want to discourage small business owners and opponents will have to adjust to the times. >>> happening now, final day of mardi gras in new orleans and the millions of people are in new orleans to celebrate fat tuesday all morning as well as the first day of lent. >>> and they plan to cross the bay area in san francisco and there will be a free blues concert from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. and knap la will host a show starts at 7:00 friend this evening. >>> sal, we know the roads are wet this morning. and good morning and let's talk about it. it remains shut down and for a complete investigation and we are looking into a truck on a pulling and a pickup truck ran into a building at a construction site and the paramedics have been called to the scene. san bruno 3 earlier. and we have a crash on dreamville road in livermore and this is blocking one of the lanes with four cars and traffic will be slow. so there are a lot of incidents on this wet tuesday morning commute. it is light but again

another city this city has some serious economic problems and she asked me the question why is there opposition to the things in san francisco so far as job creation and increased property values and i was hard-pressed to give me her a reason in her city that would like those things happening but i have a question. the question is in regards to last week's legislation rewarding in-law units and i'm not entirely clear i don't need an answer today there was some confusion when i asked commissioner president wu whether the legislation toom took place in no fault evictions in the last year's we were assured it takes place after the passage of law but it's confusing how does this apply. let's assume have a single-family home with an illegal unit and this unit is not a legal unit i don't think so how it can be considered a eviction or if you have a family member move in there needs composer o more clarification and seems odd even if that were to happen if someone moved a relative in you want to improve the unit he may be talking about another unit but it's confusing so we may get a clarification when ms. rogers answers or part of her report >> if it mrs. the commission the rent cont
