We are here today to celebrate one of our very successful programs, the ace program which was a sixweek learning workbased opportunity for our students. Before i introduce the High School Choir in the city of San Francisco that is the best, i want to say thank you to mayor breed for her opportunities for all initiatives and thank principal thomas for working with us, as well as my staff sara kong and mubina shaik for organizing and directing the success of our summer program. Here we have Career Pathways where we try to ensure that our students have access to college and careerreadiness opportunities. We are doing our absolute best to ensure that our business and Industry Partners here in the city recognize the talent that our students have here at burton and the rest of the city, so that our talent here locally can stay here locally and be part of our future workforce. Now, without further ado, the burton High School Choir. [ applause ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [singing roar] [ ] [ cheering and applause ]. Mayor breed hello, everyone. Im San Francisco mayor london breed, and i am so excited to be here today. Hello. First of all, i love katy perrys version, but i will buy that single if you guys to upload it. Beautiful. Thank you so much to the amazing choir that burton has been traditionally known for every since i was in high school, which wasnt actually that long ago. Burton always had an incredible choir and was an incredible force in this city for academics and so many things. So it really is an honor to be here, because this initiative, opportunities for all, is something that is near and dear in my heart. I am so fortunate because when i was in high school, you know, there was not really a lot of opportunities to learn and to grow and to figure out what i wanted to do in life. I grew up in the western edition in the philmore community in Public Housing where my grandmother raised me. It was so easy to turn to some of the negative activity that existed in my community. There was drug using, drug dealing, theft, all kinds of stuff that honestly, sadly, so many of the people that i grew up with ended up going down the wrong path. I think that a really important turning point in my life happened when i got that first job. I was 14 and i got a job through the mayors Youth Employment and training program. [ laughter ]. Mayor breed and i was able to earn my own money because my grandmother was getting welfare and food stamps and all this stuff for us and we didnt have a lot. The ability to earn my own money and make some choices for myself, but also choices for my future, was so important. Because it wasnt just about the money that i earned, it was about the skills that i earned. You wouldnt believe it. Im mayor now and i dress nice, but i showed up the first day of my internship with some of you might have done this, with a seethrough shirt and the cutoff jeans and all that kind of stuff. It was the style back then, but the fact is thats really not how youre supposed to show up in a workplace. The people that i worked for, they didnt just fire me and say youre not dressed appropriately. They took the time to explain to me why in this environment it was important to address like a professional. When i answered the phone like, who you looking for . What do you want . They said, no, they turned it into a script saying this is london breed, thank you for calling. How may i help you . They didnt just give up on me. I was a handful as a teenager, believe it or not. And this internship opened the doors of opportunity for me to not only work in the summer and get paid to work and buy my own School Clothes and all the things that i really wanted, but it gave me an opportunity to learn and grow. And, in fact, because of the relationship that developed during that internship, i was given a job yearround. So after school i would go straight on the bus to philmore and oak to the family school. I would work and do my homework there. I had an incredible number of adults who were great mentors and supporters. Its where i learned about College Opportunities and what i can do with my future. Before that, i dont think i had any plans what would happen in the future. What i saw around me was something completely different. Here was a door that was opened. So when i became mayor, there was nothing more important to me than making sure that young people in the city have access to a paid internship in any capacity to learn about any industry you want. Because let me tell you something, not everybody i grew up with got the same opportunity. So many people that i grew up with, including my family members, ended up in the criminal justice system, ended up, sadly, on drugs, ended up, sadly, dead from gun violence. I cant help but think where did we go wrong and how do we make sure as a city that no one falls through the cracks. Thats why i started opportunities for all because i never ever want any young person to be turned away for an opportunity to learn to grow and thrive. Thats why were taking this message to you because we want you to be a part of opportunities for all. We want you to know about the possibilities, whether its working for any City Department or running the airlines. Today were joined by united airlines, who i basically reached out to along with so many other companies in San Francisco. We have all these Tech Companies and healthcare companies, all this network, theres so many opportunities, where you can not only work for these companies, you can start your own and you can run these businesses. So we want you all to be exposed to whats possible. The way that youre successful is when you know whats out there and you decide what you want to do in life. So today united has agreed to an incredible partnership, where they are not only investing the dollars to help pay for the internship, they are providing students with paid internships, to work in various capacities on the airlines, theyre providing transportation to the airport, and theyre providing airline tickets. [ applause ]. Mayor breed so im going to let janet talk a little bit more about the details of what this means, but i also want all the young people who are here today to understand the importance of thinking about your future, because before you know it, youre going to be 18. Like my grandmother did, she was making me if any for my own toilet paper. Ms. Brown did not pay. I had to give her rent money when i was working and everything else. At the same time, it wasnt because she was trying to punish me. She was trying to get me ready for the real world. She was trying to get me ready to take care of myself. Ultimately, when you become adults, youre going to have the responsibility of taking care of yourself. Ultimately as mayor, because of what happened in the past in this city and the loss of so many of my friends and family members, i want to make sure that we dont continue to make the same mistakes. I want you all to grow and to thrive in this city. I want you to be able to afford to live here when you become adults. Thats my goal, the future of San Francisco, and you all, all of you here, at burton, you all are the future of San Francisco. So i just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all so much for just really being here and expressing interest in this incredible program. We came here because we wanted to bring the program directly to you. I also want to recognize jenny lam who is one of the members of the school board. [ applause ]. Mayor breed all of the students here and also ivar from the airport. Hes the guy who runs the airport. Take a good look at ivar. Hes going to be retiring soon, so whos going to take over his job . This guy makes some real money running the airport. I want you to think about that in terms of these opportunities. Janet from united, please come up and share a few words. Thank you so much, mayor breed. Lets give her a round of applause. If i may, i just want to say when i hear your story, its an unbelievable inspiration to me and i know it is to so many of you. Its not just getting a job, but mayor london breed is managing and running one of the most complex cities in the world with lots of challenges. Every day she works on machine solving. And then to come and spend the time with us to inspire. Please give her another warm welcome and round of applause and it thank you for your leadership and inspiration on this. We appreciate it. I would like to make a few introductions. Matt miller, my colleague is San FranciscoVice President hub who runs our operation. Behind me, you have lots of our employees in various roles that we do at s. F. O. I just want to share with you why united is here. We have been in this community for 90 years. We are part of the fabric of San Francisco. We have 12,000 employees throughout the bay area region, where they work, live, play, and volunteer. So we are deeply wedded to all of the issues within this region in San Francisco, and we very much want to be part of the future and making sure that the future is bright. There is no better way to do that than to invest in students and in very meaningful ways. So i could not be more proud of the fact that we are here to announce a 300,000 partnership with opportunities for all. [ applause ]. While the money is significant, what im most proud of is this is a partnership with opportunities for all for the long term. We want to ensure that the students that come and work with us in various internships have meaningful skills that will give you a lifelong set of factors and skills that you could apply to jobs with us, hopefully, but jobs anywhere. As the mayor said, its aviation, its tickets to go see the world. We travel to more locations within california and we have San Franciscos gateway to the world. We are very excited to offer this opportunity and very excited to partner with the mayor. On behalf of everyone with us today at united, we want to thank you for being here. We want to invite everybody who is interested in applying to come and join us. We very much would like you to make an application for one of our internships. Its now with great honor that i get to introduce one of our employees who is a United Customer Service representative and a boys and girls club 2015 youth of the year and is the product of one of these types of internships. So please join me in welcoming carmen sousa. [ applause ]. So im carmen sousa. I, like many of you, am a San Francisco native and born and raised in the mission. I went to school all over the city in the bayview and the tenderloin in the mission, all over the place. So i first started off also through the mayor i also started working at 14th through mayeep and was able to get all these different Job Opportunities and eventually started working with the boys and girls club which i was a longterm member with since i was 6 or 7 years old. Through that club and mayeep, i was able to learn all these different Job Opportunities and how to jobreadiness programs, like job resumes and all that. So [ applause ]. And so i first got introduced with united with the boys and girls club when i first turned 18 years old. Luckily through them i was able to learn even more, not only with the boys and girls club and mayeep was ready to get me ready for a new job, but i feel united was able to push me with an extra step knowing this is a real job with real responsibilities, youre dealing with real people. I just wanted to let you all know that anything is pretty much possible. Ive been working with united for four years now and been able to travel all over the world. Its been a really great thing for someone from the city whos never been even outside of california. Thats it. Great job, carmen. Born here and flying all over the world could be you as well. Thank you. Our appreciation to mayor breed for being the inspiration for this. Thank you all and have a great day. Mayor breed last but not least, sheryl davis who runs the program, the director of the Human Rights Commission here in San Francisco. Sheryl and i did a lot of work togeth together. Everything centred around helping to make sure that young people grow and thrive. Now we have a bigger platform to do it and impact the entire city. So we are counting on you, young people, to step up and step out and be successful because im going to be retiring in a couple of years. So i want you to be prepared to take my place. Thats the whole point. I could tell you got me. Youre ready, yes. So with that, sister davis, can you come on up and tell the young folks how they can apply for opportunities for all because i want you to start now and i also want to make sure that we grow this program so its not just the summer. We want to make sure that we are doing this yearround and we are going to hold all the Big Companies accountable who do business accountable to participate in this program which is a future for our young folks all over the city. Ms. Davis. Thank you, mayor. Give another round for mayor breed. I see you guys are already colorcoordinated. Youre ready to step into it. I would say the quick way to do this is harold shields here. He is going to be point for us to coordinate some of that. I saw patsy and john also. I know that they are doing work here and supporting the community. Saida is here from hope s. F. All of these are partners. Principal thomas knows how to get in touch with us. We want to start the process. If you are serious and ready, united has a plan.

Org and thats where you register. We can get you all of that. Harold is going to make sure you dont get lost in any of the process. The united process is a very specific process. Anybody whos ever had to go through security at the airport, its 20 times harder to get a job at the airport. We want to get you ready for that. We will help you. I think we have to start now for you to have a job in three months at the airport. Lets get it started. Im here today. Cathy and amelia. Oppsforall. Org is where you go. Thank you. [ applause ]. Go back to class. [ laughter ] hello. Im shauna with the leaving women voters of San Francisco. Along with the league and sf gov tv im here to discuss proposition d, a ballot measure before the voters on tuesday, november 5. Proposition d would impose a business tax on commercial Rideshare Companies for fares generated by rides that start in San Francisco. Currently the city of San Francisco does not impose a business tax on fares charged by commercial Rideshare Companies, such as uber and lyft. These companies provide car rides for fare and range shared rides where each passenger pays a separate fare. Typically, rides are requested using on Online Platform to connect drivers with passengers. The proposed tax is 1. 5 on a shared ride fare and 3. 25 on a private ride fare. The city would impose these taxes on fares charged by these company until november 5, 2045. Passenger rides in zeroemission vehicles would be subject to a 1. 5 business tax until september 21, 2024. The city will deposit the tax revenues, estimated at 31 million annually, into a Traffic CongestionMitigation Fund to spend for the following purposes. The San Francisco municipal transportation agency, which oversees the citys transportation system, including muni buses and trains, bicycles, traffic, parking and taxis will receive half of the revenues to improve muni service and reliability, maintain and expand facilities and improve muni station access. And the San Francisco county Transportation Authority, a county agency separate from the city that funds and plans transportation projects would receive roughly half of the revenue to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety. A yes vote means you want to impose a 1. 5 business tax on shared rides and a 3. 25 business tax on private rides for fares charged by driverless Vehicle Companies to Fund Improvement in muni service. A no vote means you do not want to impose this business tax. Im here with sunny from the office of supervisor aaron peskin and a proponent of proposition d. Welcome. Hi. Were joined by Howard Epstein and opponent of the measure. Thank you, both, for being here. Were going to start with Opening Statements and well begin with howard. Why do you believe this proposition is so important . I believe it should be defeated. Thats not important. This is not going to do anything. Its not going to stop the traffic. If you look at it, and look at, for instance, the fees charged on a 20 single ride, its going to add 65 cents to the ride. On the 10 rideshare, its going to add under a dollar to the ride. Thats not going to dissuade anybody from taking the rideshares. And frankly, given the state of muni in San Francisco, given the way the taxis work where i live in the richmond, its almost impossible to get a taxi. Rideshares are helpful. I use them all the time when im going downtown, out to dinner. Whatever. Theyre very handy. And to take them away and say, well, people are going to run down to take the muni just isnt going to happen. The other thing in this, there is a paragraph in there that allows this commission to add a 300 million bond to be paid for. I mean, were bond crazy now. We dont need another 300 million bond. So thats why i say vote no. Its not going to do any good. Its not going to curb traffic. Its not going to help anybody. Thank you, howard. Sunny . Well, many, many studies have shown that rideshares, uber and lyfts, have contributed to over 50 of our Traffic Congestion since 2015. This is just in the last several years. Frankly, unfortunately, it is an industry that we are preempted through state law from regulating. We cant cap the number of vehicles. We cant require them to do background checks. We cant require them to do the same Safety Training for example that our taxi cabs are required to do, but we can ask them to pay their fair share toward mitigating the impact on our streets and fund the maintenance and creation of the infrastructure, that they are utilizing every day. Thats our streets, bus stops, curbs. This funding is a very modest business tax that would go towards 50 toward increasing our muni fleet, hiring bus drivers, paying for operation and maintenance, paying for the affordability programs, free muni for seniors and youth. And the other 50 goes toward Capital Improvements which are regulated through our Transportation Authority, a separate body that the board of supervisors and their county designations help toover see. Thats everything from senior crossings to pedestrian safety, Disability Access as well as bicycle infrastructure in the city. So i mean i think that the city has identified a 22 million annual need. And these types of capital costs, whether its the downtown caltrain extension for whether its the neighborhood improvement. And this is projected to bring in 32 million to 35 million annually and i think its a great investment in our system. Thank you. So the first question is following up on that. It goes to howard. Sorry, to sunny, rather. So the proposed tax is estimated to generate 30 million in revenue, you said 32 million to 35 million annually, can you talk about how this money will be spent and why you are in support of that . Sure. So again, 50 of these funds i mean all the money goes into a Traffic Congestion fund, because numerous studies, numerous experts have all agreed that one of the best ways to get people out of their cars is having reliable muni, it is having safe Bicycle Networks with safe improvements where pedestrians, everyone can walk free of being hit by a car. And so 50 of the funding would go towards increasing capacity on our muni. We know from recent hearings that we are vastly understaffed in terms of our muni drivers. We dont have enough. And we need to be able to give them a competitive wage and hire more. We need to increase our fleet. We need to build out the rail network, including the richmond district, and make sure that Rapid Transit is operating efficiently. The other 50 goes to Capital Improvements that the Transportation Authority would be doling out. Thats bike lanes, protection. Same question to you, howard. The revenue, why would you oppose how this money is going to be . The city has enough revenue as it is. If you look at our budget, its very high. We spend the second highest amount per resident of any city in the country. Only washington d. C. Beats us. If you look at the spending, its inefficient. Look at the streets, look everywhere. What they do here, every time there is a problem, they throw money it at it. If that doesnt solve the problem, throw more money at it and nothing ever gets done. We need to bring people into city hall who understand how to manage, who understand how to plan, who are successful in the private sector and will get things done. Thank you. My next question is to first to you, howard, that is if the proposed tax the correct way to reduce Traffic Congestion in San Francisco, and if not, what is . As i said in the opening statement, given the small fee, its not going to dissuade anyone from taking the ride share. What they really have to do is plan. If you look at taking lanes away and giving them to bicycles, for instance, theyre taking out parking. Theyre doing a lot of things that add to the Traffic Congestion. If they had more parking, leave the lanes there, because there are more cars going down. And there are bicycles. We need some bike lanes, obviously, but not the way theyre doing it now, not the way theyre blocking the streets and taking out the parking. Same question to you sunny. Is the proposed tax the correct way to reduce Traffic Congestion . I think its one tool, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, look at this point we are our city has not kept pace with the population boom in the city. Were projected to have a Million People in the city and county of San Francisco within the next ten years. I mean, we dont have, you know, a bus system, a rail system that is able to manage that kind of workerresident traffic. And i think this funding is critical to being able to hire parking control officers. Weve seen that successful in helping to reduce gridlock and blocking the box, which is people double parking in our streets. This is one of many tools we need to be employing as a city to make a dent in what is going to be gridlock like no one has seen before. In the south of market, in the center of the city, you cant even frankly where all of the tc traffic is, is a heat map of just total gridlock. Thats where the tmcs are. Weve got to start employing some of the tools we can until the state does something. Thank you. Closing statements. Howard . As i said i dont think this is needed. Theyre going to throw money at it and they wont get anything accomplished as with everything else. We need to plan. We need to take a step back, check our budget, and look at everything we planned. Look at how many employees we have in every department. Again, we have 20something employees for every resident. That is very high. Other places like philadelphia have half that and three times the population. So we need to take a step back. And rather than raising taxes, issuing bonds every time something comes up, we need to step back and look, get effective people to plan and take it from there. Sunny . You know, i am not a proponent and i think the city is being very thoughtful about what kinds of taxes we are levying. This is actually a business tax. This is not on the riders. Its not on the drivers. Its not on everyday citizens. I think that is something were sensitive to given the fact that the sales tax that was supposed to go toward the same types of improvements we were never able to fund, failed miserably. Taxpayers are like, why are we the ones paying to build infrastructure, when massive corporations, including uber and lyft, are not paying their fair share. They identified 22 million needed in Capital Improvements and being able to hire muni drivers. Thats money we dont have. And the dedicated piece of this is so important to show the voters, this is exactly what were spending the money on. Were not hiring a new mta director, not spending it on pension plans, were spending it on these line items. Thats where taxpayers have told us they want investment. This is no not a bond. This allows us to bond against the revenue we bring in. I think thats also very important. Thank you, both, for your time and input on this measure. Thanks for having us. We hope this discussion has been informative. For more information about this and other ballot measures in the november election, please visit the department of elections website. Early voting is able november 7 from 8 00 a. M. To 5 p. M. If you dont vote early, be sure to vote on tuesday, november 5. Hello. Im shauna with the league of women voters of San Francisco. A long with the league and sf gov tv im here to discuss proposition e. A ballot measure before the voters on tuesday, november 5. Proposition e is an ordinance that would amend the planning cod to allow Affordable Housing projects. The planning code currently does not include specific zoning rules for Residential Projects dedicated to employees of the San Francisco unified School District or the Community College district. Under proposition e, 100 Affordable Housing would be allowed in Zoning Districts except on property used for parks. Would be located on lots that are 10,000 square feet. Could not demolish or replace existing units. Would be subject to less rules regarding size, ground floor height, density and other factors than other buildings. Would allow limited amount of mix use to support the Affordable Housing. And would not be subject to any conditional use restrictions, unless the restrictions have been adopted by the voters. Proposition e requires a review of proposed 100 Affordable Housing projects within 90 to 180 days, depending on the size of the project. And the proposition would authorize the expedited review of the first 500 units of proposed educator housing. The Planning Department could administrative approve 100 Affordable Housing projects without review by the planning commission. The board of supervisors could amend proposition e by a twothirds vote without voter i approval. If you vote yes, you want to amend the planning code to allow 100 Affordable Housing projects and educator housing projects in public Zoning Districts and expedite approval of the projects. If you vote no, you do not want to make these changes. Im here with peter cowan from the council of Community Housing organizations and a proponent of proposition e. Welcome. Thank you. Were also joined by nick smith from the Libertarian Party of San Francisco and opponent of the measure. Thank you for having me. Thank you, both, for being here. Were going to start with Opening Statements. Peter . Sure. Well, thank you for having me. You know, San Francisco has had this what seems like a never ending Affordable Housing crisis. We hear that in the newspapers all the time. And one of the solutions in a very simple way, the two primary ingredients for Affordable Housing are money and land. And we have this november two measures, ill speak about prop e specifically, that are really for both of those. Probably a is bonds. And prop e is about land. The need we have is to get more sites that will actually accommodate Affordable Housing throughout the city. Most of our Affordable Housing historically has been on the eastern side of the city. Weve had larger sites, old industrial, its where working class communities have been, so bringing housing to those communities is a priority goal. But its time to have opportunities throughout the city, the northern, the southern, to build those housing developments. But we dont have the sites. What this measure does basically is four things. First, it says any 10,000square foot site, thats the minimum size we need to make it a project work, will be automatically zoned to allow Affordable Housing. There is no rezoning required, no environmental impact, no conditional use. Secondly, publicly owned sites will also be zoned to allow Affordable Housing. Currently they dont allow any housing at all. Third is on School District and City College District properties, their sites will also be zoned to allow by right, educator housing. Which ill talk about more. And lastly they require that the city Planning Department review and approve these projects within a very specified time frame. This is really a big, big change to the way we do Affordable Housing. Nick . Well, we have a problem in San Francisco. Its a very high cost of living. Thats for a number of reasons. One of them, the big one is cost of housing. And i think what we all want is for housing in San Francisco to be more affordable. We recognize there is not enough supply. Unfortunately, Affordable Housing programs are really not effective in getting us the supply that we need. So what we really need to do so heres why. If im a developer in San Francisco and i want to build, ill go to the Mayors Office of housing and community development, theyll tell me, okay, you can build the project, but you have to make 25 of the below market rate housing. Or you pay a huge fee. And also its going to take a year or two maybe to get the approvals you need to get the surveys done, to start your project. Well, if im a developer im looking at that, i dont want to build here. Im going somewhere else. So what with we need to do, instead of creating these programs to fix the problem, we just need to let people build. We need to make it very easy and give people the tools they need to build in the city. Well get more marketrate housing and eventually the market rate will drop and there will be more Affordable Housing. I think you may have answered my first question. You probably do not believe this measure is the correct way to address the Affordable Housing shortage. What is the correct way . Right, i did just answer that, but i will say, its not anecdotal. There was a 2015 report by the California Legislative Analyst Office which showed that building more marketrate housing resulted in less displacement, regardless of ininclusionry housing policies. It said these programs at any kind of scale are extensive and just impractical to do. And what they advised instead was that policymakers encourage private housing development. So i said, were going to get more marketrate housing, which over time will drive the supply up. Will drive the price down. Thats Just Economics 101. Thats what we need to do. And if we can, roll back the regulations and make it easier. Well see that for everyone. Peter, same question, why is the measure the correct way to address the Affordable Housing shortage . Let me start by pivoting off nicks answer. So the legislative Analyst Report from 2015 did not say that the Affordable Housing is not effective, what it said on its own its not effective to take care of the Affordable Housing needs. Im not going to quibble. I think there is problems with the report, but im not here to debate market rate housing. This is specifically about Affordable Housing, which i think most people recognize you need both. There might be a supply argument around market rate housing that brings prices down to some equilibrium if that even exists, but certainly not the lower income level that needs to serve folks. It requires public support, and in that case, we cannot compete in the open market for sites. Even if they were available, which theyre not, the transactional costs are something we cant compete with. This frankly provides a little bit of the competitive advantage, by rezoning sites only for Affordable Housing throughout the city. Thats how we solve our problem. And then second question and start with you, peter, how does this benefit educators in San Francisco . So there has been a long discussion, at least over the last four or five years about the crisis, if you would, in the educator community. There is retention problem that the School District has, an attraction problem and theyre even having educators getting evicted from their homes. One of the solutions is to build housing specifically for educators. Its been very difficult to do because of esoteric legal and financing reasons, that have been unlocked in the last couple of years by state law. It allows us to help the School District and city college use their properties to build brand new housing for that educator workforce. This is fresh landscape. There is one, if you will model project or Pilot Project in the sunset now at the Francis Scott key elementary annex, which is sport of test sort of testing certain ideas. We want to see that expanded throughout the district. Nick, can you speak to the issue of educator housing . Well, sure. I think the amount of new housing youre going to get through these kind of programs because it is expensive, its going to be so small its going to have an insignificant effect. And to apply for this housing, you have to go through a lottery process, which is open to any employee of the unified School District or Community College district, which includes a lot more than teachers. Peeking of teachers, this does not include teachers who are not part of the Government School system. If we care about educators, why are we not including them . Basically, i dont think its going to help teachers all that much. And i think the impacts, its going to perpetuate the program. Its not going to be great for teachers or anybody else. Were going to move into closing statements. Im going to circle back to how i started. I think this november of 2019 we have before us with these two measures, proposition a, a bond, proposition e, city wide rezoning for Affordable Housing, arguably the most significant Affordable Housing weve seen in decades. Rather than talking about Affordable Housing crisis and all the needs that are not being met, we can get to work. And its really exciting to me having spent most of my professional career in this world of Affordable Housing, working east side neighborhoods to think we have the opportunity to be doing our work in every neighborhood of San Francisco. That is going to be a whole new San Francisco. And i hope voters see that. And welcome Affordable Housing into their communities. Thank you. Nick . Well, i think every election voters are presented with one crisis after another, whether its homelessness, housing. Its always a crisis and the solution is always more government. These programs are just slapping a bandaid onto the pile of existing bandaids already there. I think what we need to do is follow the advice from the legislative analyst office, and start peeling back the bandaids and letting it heal naturally. That means allowing developers to build in the city, allowing people to build. Making that as easy as possible, which were prepared to do for Affordable Housing. And once we do that, well see more housing. The market rate drops over time as the supply goes up. And we get more Affordable Housing for everyone, not just teachers who win the lottery. Thank you, both, for your time and input on this measure. Thank you. We hope this discussion has been informative.
