i believe scott weiner his priority is the real estate industry. since i have a little time left i will quote from songer for scotscott weiner. >> you are a liberal, developer, corporate donations must give you a thrill. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> board rule 1.3.1 prevents you from having any audible interruptions of proceedings, clapping, cheering, hissing or any of that. thank you very much. >> good morning, supervisors. i am presiden president presideh bury council in district 5. thank you for bringing this amended resolution. thanks to president yee for supporting it. i agree with president yee that san francisco should be exempted. i also state that sb50 should be opposed, but these amendments you have proposed are excellent and should be passed by the board. i would suggest two slight amendments. one use it or lose it clause. two, that you put somehow in the title to oppose or a sb50 and similar housing bills. the number can change. state funding for affordable housing is the need, not developer give aways. we also need transit fu

it is another example of the kind of tactics that scott weiner is using to get the bill passed. it is just wrong. and to ask if you could consider like you did with the pdas, consider delaying the passage. i am in favor of what you are doing. i applaud the work you are doing, but i think it would be good to see what our friend scott weiner comes up with on january 6th. then make a decision whether or not we need an additional amendment to our opposition to it unless it is included. if they are going to put it on some of us, they need it on all of us. the idea to get all of those votes is just wrong. >> any other members of the public to speak on this item? seeing none. public comment is closed. thanks again everyone for sharing your perspectives on this contentious and polarizing issue that has so much potential impact on our city and neighborhoods and quality of life. thanks to the many others who weren't able to speak today that have shared their perspectives from those placing displacement in the city that have concerns about the gentrification. i just responding to the point

thank you, senator weiner, i am so grateful.ank you, david. i am grateful for you, david. we kept her waiting long enough, right? i am excited she is here. i am going to do a little intro. mayor breed is a san francisco native. she was raised right in the western addition. she went to galileo high school. she earned a masters degree at the university of san francisco. she is a daughter of the city. prior to historicallylection, which was the moment in 2018 she served on the board of supervisors peboard ofsuperviso. she is committed to creating a more equitable and just san francisco. as i understand you came from opening up the new navigation center on the embarcadero. thank you. we are congratulations and thank you for doing that. we are so thrilled chirrenned for the second annual -- returned for the second celebration. give a huge tenderloin welcome to mayor london breed. >> mayor breed: i am excited to be in the tenderloin. we know that a lot of challenges, not only chest in the tl but all o san francisco. as someone who gre

but our representative in the state senate, scott weiner made it clear he intends to move it forward again this january. when we last heard this item, we heard a desire to clarify what san francisco would need to see in this bill to support it. and with the return of sb50 imminent, i'm bringing this resolution back to introduce amendments, to clearly state our need to give communities a seat at the table in planning for more housing in their neighborhoods and to capture the value created when we up them and use that value for more affordable housing and community benefits instead of give aways to developers and to provide meaningful, enforceable protections against displacement and intelligen jenty again indu. the houses we build is not meeting needs low and moderate san franciscons. this is the kind of data we should use to make land use in planning decisions and the kind of data that wasn't available when sb50 was written and make us rethink the approach we're taking in letting private market drive housing production. as written, sb50 won't correct that imbalance and exacerbate it.

senator scott weiner. [applause] >> thank you. it is really easy to get down with all of the gun violence we see every single day in the news. there is more and more gun violence. it is easy to curl up in a ball and say there is nothing to do to solve this. we know that is not true. this organization gives me hope that working at a neighborhood level, at a local level we can move the conversation up and, finally, do something real about gun violence in this country. you know, some of the people who make excuses for guns, nra, they like to talk it is not about the guns, it is mental health or criminality or video games. we have heard all of the excuses. of course, we know that people around the world have mental health issues and mental health issues from the beginning of time. people commit crimes around the world and they have since the beginning of time. people play video games. what is different about this country is not more mental health issues or video games or crimes. it is because we have more guns. this country is drownin

now, i want to take this opportunity to introduce our state senator scott weiner. [applause] >> thank you, mayor. i want to thank and commend mayor breed and supervisor haney for standing their ground to make sure that this navigation center could open. as a former local elected official in san francisco, i understand first hand what it is like when you have neighbors who have significant concern and fear about changes that are happening in their neighborhood. that is very intense, her hard. -- it is very hard. i want to thank them for looking at the big picture and the reality this will make the neighborhood safer and more livable in addition to helping many homeless in san francisco transition to a better and healthier future. thank you. when you look at the situation at homelessness in california, it is pretty stark. we have well over 100,000 homeless people in the state. i think it is 130,000. a large majority of homeless residents in the bay area and los angeles are not sheltered, and this is not normal. what is happening in california and in san francisco and

you folks voted for senator weiner. he carried all of your districts and he's got the guillotine over your head so just remember that. is this a local alternative that we need the senator weiner? what is all this about? have we had conversations with senator weiner's office? >> this has been the third version of this. this predates senator weiner and sb50. >> the reason i'm mentioning this is mr. switzky was reported saying to the council this could be a sb50 alternative. that's been reported. i said reported. >> i can clarify. i think that's a little mischaracterization. i think the question was posed will this, quote unquote, protect us from sb50. and the sort of apples and oranges this has no relation to sb50. what this -- what pdas would do is provide essentially provide the city opportunity for funding to do planning in these areas or provide funding for transportation investment or other things. who knows what sb50 will look like or whether it will pass. if it does come forward again and has some sort of local pla

as the mayor and senator weiner have said. we know the solution to homelessness. we need more affordable housing, more supportive services, but, ultimately, it takes courage at all levels of government to make it happen. we are trying to do our part at the state level. we have colleagues that don't feel completely on the same page with myself and senator wiener with making sure we are building more housing. we have challenges at the state level. mayor breed and supervisor haney have challenges. iit is not easy to stand in frot of 300 people and talk about homelessness and bringing navigation centers to a neighborhood that has not had them. it takes courage and guts and the city has to support them. if we don't get these centers built, there is no on ramp to housing. this is the third navigation center i have had the honor of standing with mayor breed as we opened them. they are the first step. the next step has to be, as she said, permanent supportive housing. everybody is for housing, but in someone else's neighborhood, in someone else's city. i can't tell you ho

weiner pushed back said no housing until infrastructure is perfect doesn't work. the group is backing off saying it supports the bill but also changes to include more money for transit. that bill is up for committee vote in sacramento next month. >>> in mountain view, voters will decide whether homeless people's rvs should be banned from narrow streets. it's an issue popping up in cities across the bay area. according to "the mercury news," election officials received over 4,000 signatures calling for a vote on that issue. you may recall back in september, the city council approved an ordinance banning rvs from streets. however, opponents pushed for the referendum to block the rule from taking effect until voters weigh in. >>> happening now, travel troubles for drivers up and down the state. heavy snow and rain really creating those slick driving conditions. on the left you can see what it looks like at the grapevine right now. this is i-5, and that stretch of road still closed at this hour. and on your right you're looking at driving conditions if you're heading

sue mick for me following under the conversation with jonathan weiner. the meetings of the state are very curious to me. that steel either initiates or he says was invited by state department officials and october 11 to be able to come sit down with officials at the state apart. he made very clear he's trying to get documents into the public eye before the aelection. and to try to get all these things made public. that meeting happens on october the 11th. on october the 19th, steel delivers, to an fbi handling agent what he received from jonathan weiner from the state apart. so steel is coming to make his case to the state department, he makes his case, apparently jonathan weiner is theto document to steal and to public, and he sends it out. to someone from the state department is trying to get out intohe the public what he described as a friend of a well-known clinton supporter who receive this from a turkish businessman with strong links to russia. so apparently, someone from the state department is taking a foreign document, or a foreign source, getti

weiner, what bruce ohr and mr. steele's activities were with them. what we weren't trying to figure out is what the state department were doing on their own or their own interests if they had any. i don't know as i sit here today if they had any. people ask questions about what did other intelligence agencies know? if that information was sitting in the fbi's files, we had access to it. if it's something they did separate and apart from the fbi, that's beyond the scope of this review. >> you would kind of like to know how george papadopoulos met all these individuals that just happen to be connected in different ways? >> i think you'd want -- it would be interesting to know a lot of pieces of information that are strands here. i don't necessarily believe it would have -- based on the access we had at the fbi, and the information at the fbi, in terms of what affected the fbi's decisions, i have no reason to think there's something else there we didn't see. >> ok. this is very similar, but what other big questions are outstanding? >> well, it depends.

one was senator weiner's sb 127 which would have required caltrans for non- freeway highway segments, to complete streets whenever they had a shot program. a great idea, a lot of policy support. the problem that we ran into with the governor that resulted in the veto is that the cost estimate was tremendous. because the bill was built around mandates rather than option, or authorization. caltrans in the department of finance cosseted out about a half billion dollars a year that would come directly out of the shot program that was just bolstered by sp1. nevertheless, i would point out i recently met with the caltrans director on several topics. one of which was looking forward to complete streets legislation coming forward next year. the director recently appointed, and has a strong background completing streets, he's already developed a task force working group within caltrans to address the same issues that senator weiner's bill would have addressed. rest assured, complete streets are going to take a very strong level of attention within caltrans particularly on the conventional high

. >> reporter: state senator scott weiner said the president is politicizing the homeless crisis. >> donald trump is making our challenges around homelessness even worse. he's the last person who should be giving advice. >> reporter: the president also tweeted that if governor gavin newsom can't handle the situation which they should be able to do easily, they must call and politely ask for help. >> the homeless problem, you know other places in the country it's still prevalent. grinding down on one person and blaming them for that person seems unorthodox. >> he's just trying to pull the attention away from the fact that he's a liar and a cheat. >> reporter: in san francisco, betty yu, kpix 5. >> for its part the governor's office pointed out on twitter that back in september, the president rejected california's request for federal help on homelessness. >>> president trump retweeted a post naming the alleged whistleblower whose complaint led to the president's impeachment by the house of representatives. mr. trump shared the tweet last night, then deleted it this morning. the preside

senator scott weiner altered authored sb 50 and he said that allows for more housing their jobs and public transportation, exactly where housing needs to be built. but, san francisco supervisor hillary ronan said "what we are lagging on is housing that is affordable to our workforce and low income families. we have to be sure that sb 50 addresses the specific needs and that we are not simply adding to the profit potential of private developers." >>> airbnb is banning open invite parties parties across the nation after the deadly shooting in orinda. it covers short-term rentals including homes, apartments and condos that are advertised on social media and open to anyone. airbnb says it is ferreting out listings violating the new role. also starting next year guests will get a warning for unruly behavior and a suspension or removal for repeated violations. a shooting at an a airbnb, killed five people, so far no one has been charged in the crime. they are under. >>> right now, a hearing is underway in oakland addressing gun violence and its impact on the mental health of young people. califo
