, now senator scott wiener, senate bill 827. wrestled with the very difficult issues of housing and particularly affordable housing. in many manifestations. my colleague, the chair of this committee, supervisor tang pioneered and after two years of effort dealt with a 1979 era vintage law. the state bonus density law and conformed it to san francisco's unique situation with home sf. myself and supervisor mark farrell worked together, collaborated on and had a successful passage of legislation around enabling, encouraging dwelling units. and despite what people heard last week that only 20 of them have been built. that is absolutely untrue. 1600 have been built. we were the city that pioneered inclusionary housing under mark glennos leadership and last year, in 2016, later in 2017, passed some of the most ambitious onsite affordable housing laws in the united states of america. we have pioneered general obligation bonds to deal with affordable housing. san francisco has exceeded the bay area and northern california relative to th

i think that person had been channelling scott wiener.the city is already -- this is my opinion -- ruined in a way, because the prices of homes and rents are so high it restricts the population to rich people and it's not very culturally colorful. this bill would kill any cultural flavor in the city that it has left. it makes me glad i'm old and won't be living here that long. my house will probably be demolished because it's on a transit line and across from golden gate park. >> good afternoon. my name is bradley. i support this resolution asking for us to oppose senate bill 827. it's bad policy, if we want to see the state take over transportation network companies, the tncs, how well is that working for us? have we been getting across town faster? i don't think so. we know best how to govern our own planning process. 827 will severely limit our ability for planning processes. and frankly, there are other ways we can expand housing. we're in a crisis, but this is bad policy, this is bad civics and this is bad democracy. and frankly, i'm

again, while i do respect senator wiener and his work and at the state level this particular bill is troublesome to me. some of the other clauses that i have here i wanted to share with the public is that san francisco has spent years working with communities on planning efforts resulting in affordable housing and infrastructure impacts. the board of supervisors is committed to working with other jurisdictions and tenant advocates to address the crisis by amending fb827. in the further clauses i wanted to urge the state leaders to fund affordable housing stream to address the housing crisis. that funding is a huge challenge. the last clause is board of supervisors will continue to monitor the progress and may provide additional comments as the bill is heard at committee hearings. that is my proposal to supervisor peskin. we do agree amendments need to be made but, of course, it will get down toward smithing here. do you have any comments, thoughts? >> madam chair as much as i would like to send a strong message to senator wiener and the state delegation, i think you have articulated

it's scott wiener's monster.nd if this thing is allowed to live, it's going to turn san francisco into san francisco mar-a-lago. you can always find people to pay $200,000 to be part of your country club, but it does not address affordability and it has a lot of contra indications and it's completely ill thought out. so i support the resolution to oppose this bill. thank you. >> documents for the record. can i have the projector, please? hi, may name is steven. i live in the mission. everybody is talking about affordability. we know that the most affordable living is apartment living. on this red area, apartments are illegal. 827 changes that and brings zoning equity to the city. we can see where apartments will be legal to build after it passes. here we have a delta. how many floors will be added? you can see very little effect in the mission because it's already very dense. where the biggest effect will happen is on the west side, opening this neighborhood and the north side, opening these neighborhoods -- [gav

amendments covered by scott wiener are window dressing at best. they do nothing to moderate the wholesale rezoning of san francisco and other urban areas. without any commence rat value recapture. on their face, the amendments presume displacement of current residents up to and beyond 50 miles. they impose means testing for displaced residents in order to receive a financial assistance. they do not define a com rable unit and they provide no agency or funds for enforcing the rights of the displaced. they do not increase affordable unit requirements. sb-827 will not compel density anywhere but in transit rich areas. the i am balanced housing burden on on cities will increase excessively while suburbs will remain exempt. even the definition of transit rich is a ruse as noted in the department analysis. spotty service outside of commute hours is not a consideration in the bill. sb-827, along with companion measure 828 wipe out planning department work to accommodate growth within a framework that values and protects a diverse community historical res

i actually applaud senator scott wiener for taking this on. i'm sure he's not a fan of many planning commissions around the state, whether it be us or cupertino or san jose or fresno, but i think he's got the broad interest of california in mind. we need more housing. i moved here 25 years ago. i was able here on a decent e city salary to live here. i don't think it would be done today. we often explain about cupertino or brisbane not doing their part. i think we have to realize that this bill does not just apply to san francisco, it applies to the region. i actually thought this map was telling, but i think supervisor peskin had, and others, shown, you know, it should be more on the peninsula that housing should be allowed, and i think we should even go beyond san francisco and make recommendations on how this could go just beyond this transit definition so that other areas in the peninsula and elsewhere around the region get upzoned and, you know, allow for more housing density. i think the way it's crafted now, it does put too much of the w

lawmakers listed on the bill are assembly member richard bloom and state senator scott wiener...they introduced the bill last month. the idea is two cities in northern california and two in southern california which would have temporary congestion fee programs for specific zones such as a downtown centers or dense urban cores. while san francisco has opposed this idea before...the san francisco examiner says at least one bay area lawmaker is interested in implementing this program in san francisco. a 2011 study shows that a 3- dollar fee to enter downtown san francisco could lower collisions with pedestrians by up to 5-percent. right now, the bill is tentatively on the schedule to be heard by committee on transportation today...no word yet on which cities would be impacted if passed. live in millbrae, sandra osborne, kpix 5 the mayor of one bay area city is touting driverless buses as the . >>> the idea is two cities in northern california and two in southern california that would have temporary con getion programs -- congestion programs for dense urban cores. san francisco opposed t

you'll hear from scott wiener. in 2005 they established the financing district we're talking about today. she had drafted the legislation to ensure we're investing in infrastructure as well as historic resources, the bill we're discussing today is to ensure we're expanding what it is that we're protecting. protecting our shoreline, ensuring we can rebuild our seawall. before i introduce our next speaker, i want to say two things. we're here in part because we have to come together as a community. you'll hear about the efforts at the local level, as well as at the state level and what we had hoped was going to be the federal level, but despite what donald trump is saying what he is doing about infrastructure, none of us are holding our breath. so san francisco and california need to act. we're here for our kids. and our grandkids. none of us are going to be around when the next century turns. but my hope is my son and his friends and his next generations, will look to this day as a day that our city leaders came tog

beds do we think we need to address what we're seeing on the streets, and specifically if senator wiener's bill passes, and what are we looking at? i get asked all the time, what will it actually take to address the problem and really help those who are suffering on our streets? how many more beds is it? do we have an understanding or any type of idea on what that will look like? >> i can tell you we provide percapita than any other county for beds. i think you have the combination of the lack of housing -- that's why this last year we put another 100 beds on-line in anticipation they were going to get more housing. and so the level of care that we developed at st. mary's is the next level of care next to a psychiatric and inpatient stay. and we don't want people at that level of care. we really want people atloer levels of care and into housing. the fact that we have a methamphetamine epidemic right now does make it very hard to kind of estimate what our numbers are, but we do know that i'm still working on expansions of some of our other programs, and we are trying to find that formula.

just as an aside, i was at a senate hearing, and senator wiener said counties really embrace them, but it's a significant shift away from what we do and it takes a significant amount of time and state funding. the second is a 4-e waiver, and what it basically does is allow us to use federal dollars in a much more flexible manner. without the 4-e waiver, we only get federal dollars once we remove a child from his or her home or birth parent and put them into foster care. well, good practice says you want to give supports to a family in either a preventative matter or before the abuse or neglect reaches a level where you have to remove a child. so under the waiver we get a fixed amount of federal dollars to allow us to do those preventative services, to allow us to develop things like a visitation center to support our kids who are placed in other counties, to support things like emergency placements for youth who have super high needs to they don't have to be in -- bounce from group home to group home or go awol or things like that. it's really been for us a much more effective tool at

the wiener compose alagi. $1.8 million for h.i.v. care and treatment was in january. the small business recap tallization revolving loan fund was i believe in march of 2012. in march of 2014 this board voted to give our homeless outreach team an additional $1.3 million. that also was voted by the board of supervisors. again crisis but an on going crisis like street cleaning, that was introduced by supervisor mark farrell in september of 2014, supervisor compose introduced two million dollars for lawyers for unaccompanied youth, that was a new crisis so i understand the distinction between on going crisis and new crisis and our right to council and deportation. i have to point out, i voted for expanding our rights to deportation, right to council and deportations last tuesday at the full board meeting but there's not been a single arrest or detention in san francisco. so we did that in advance as a preventative measure. but there has not yet been an arrest or detention in san francisco yet so if we're going to use that as our reason for not supporting this, then i thin

knowing that russia might respond in kind. >> woodruff: that report from libby wiener of independent television news. earlier this evening i spoke with the british ambassador to the u.s., sir kim darroch. i began by asking him about the evidence the u.k. has linking russia tthe attack. >> you can be sure of that. it involves several days of investigation. remember this appalling attck happened more than a week ago,ce and poave been working intensively since then. the nerve agent involved, by the way, is known to be associated nufactureda, to be in russia. we gave the russian authorities 24 hours to respond. they didn't, basically, taketh seriously. they were contemptuous. o we were in no doubt about their culpabilitid the conclusions drawn and action taken. >> woodruff: how much more does your go who exactly did this? >> well, we will carry on with the investigations. there is no more than we can say than the prime minister said in the house of commons this morning. but as she said, we believe there's a ry high likelihood of russian responsibility, of russian lpabilities here. and th

. >> well, i think senator wiener's legislation helped that. in san francisco, it's hard to define, because we get many people into treatment. so what's really restricted with who we can put into the programme program. if you look at the bill, it allows us to look at people with homelessness and mental health issues and addiction, that will provide us the opportunity to provide stability for a small period of time because we are taking rights away from individuals, and we want to make sure they have the right of appeal and all other judicial support that they need. we do believe that that will give us opportunities for bringing people in, providing them care, and really providing the right level of care for them. i do think the senator's bill will help us if that gets passed, and then, i do think my work with doss, and we're trying to look at the conservatorship office and working very closely with them in trying to have a more integrated model with the hospital. give you an example of a very good outcome that happened most recently. we had one
