Undoable aspirations and unjumpable hoops and shack did you notice that frustrate around facilitate the Housing Production we need we cant do that my are more we are on the hook for 80 thousand units i represent Downtown District that will be hurt the most if we fail to this up to the Housing Element we risk the loss of state funding more Affordable Housing and potentially the loss of local control tooth ive seen is again and again in the building in San Francisco and example for good things but sometimes when he had something wrong and my biggest fear we are attempting fate and the the good, good will of the many of the state regulators before sticking a thump 23 in their ease to facilitate the production of housing here and again, a lot of that goes back to the City Attorneys office i thought grateful to working in but no accident that housing champions like scott wiener and me came out of that office had a front row seats to the gamemanship we need that housing im proud to be with the xaernts and the Housing Action coalition and everyone in the housing moment 4re9s do what we need to do thanks so much. Thank you supervisor dorsey for your support everyday on it had critical issue and sprinkle in a couple of highlights recently supervisors heard an appeal of 395 sacramento street the one one on the only supervisor didnt vote in the housing president peskin and another example how they stymied heirs and a speaker our london breed been a strong champion and continues to push that yelling . clapping thank you, jay. Thank you to the Northern California are carpenter and supervisor stefani who by the Human Rights Coalition and all the folks that continue to fight for the much needed hours we need to build in San Francisco i want to take us back i feel like thats been really tragic that for so many years had to fight the same battle and everyone talks about being think housing advocate and pushing more Affordable Housing and what was not happening in the stay by when they have an opportunity of to make it easier to produce housing they create opportunity to destroy research to move forward. And as someone who grew up here sadly i saw so many of my friends move from San Francisco ways they couldnt afford to live here and seen people hard work the carpenters and other organizations move away from San Francisco because they Cal State University afford to live and here and making sure that San Francisco is a place for all again increasing a place you make a lot of money and can afford to live here, or youre lucky any enough to see a family what a house youre lucky enough to inherent or qualify more Affordable Housing and what happens to everyone else . We we have to fend for ourselves and figure out while we continue to put obstruction in policies before us that make it, too difficult to build were sick 6 people so to speak out boo side of their mouth this is not just about trying to build housing no. You now that is to making sure the next generation of san franciscans growing up here can afford to live here i remember when i ran for mayor one of the only persons to support scott wiener that sb loud for the intensity of San Francisco and people said youll lose the raise youre supported there and building more housing in place where housing to stuck and what i said how many of you were born and raised in San Francisco or been here more than 14th century had 5 years all the hands went up my kid went to galla high school and sfoort and asked how many of your kids live here he can recall any hands went up thats what were fashioned if if we move in the same direction and expecting to getting is a different result the place is more coastal not just because the the record will reflect Interest Rates and material because how long it takes us to go through a process through the board of supervisors there land use we already have policies in place. This is not asking for something but i but allowing us without the layers of bury through to process but able be able to build more units not asking for a health there but asking you not to kill had legislation by save density bonus didnt apply heres the problem we loss out of the opportunity to build more and to make sure that people who work here can afford to live here have almost 4 vacancy position because many of the workforce cant afford to live in San Francisco how will we maintain the streets and get our muni buses to the place they need to be on time and potholes and do all the essential services when people cant afford to live here at this time what that is making sure three we build more housing and build more housing farther.

So the carpenters said enough is enough. Working with Community Groups a Strong Partner including mayor london breed including supervisor dorsey and is a matter of fact, are wiener owe challenges like 18 to 12 and sb 4 and finally finally allows the missing middle to be built in the communities that need it the most and lifting up all construction w prevailing wage and healthcare and real enforcement but again southern segments certain politicians want to play games and politics with housing in San Francisco and undermine the state law we fought for and lake theirs while tell thousands of Union Construction works that there is no plays for in the San Francisco not to work and certainly not to live when you play politics with housing youre playing politics are peoples lives im a Richmond School resident and a lifelong member i thought to see more housing and opportunities for my neighbors for my daughter how can we say no to housing our schools are losing thousands of students request no place to go in San Francisco how can we say no to workers when their toiling in the underground economy and not to building more housing for future generations an honest question for president peskin if with owe dont build more housing where will children likely to the carpenters are here today as mayor london breed to say yes clapping. to send a strong message to the board of supervisors and a president peskin enough the games lets build and lift occupy all workers thank you, clapping. thank you, dan and it is critically important three we address this not just for today but for future generations of San Francisco to live.

My name is leo sosa. Im the founder and executive director for devmission. Were sitting inside a computer lab where residents come and get support when they give help about how to set up an email account. How to order prescriptions online. Create a resume. We are also now paying attention to provide tech support. We have collaborated with the San Francisco Mayors Office and the department of technology to implement a broad band network for the residents here so they can have Free Internet access. We have partnered with Community Technology networks to provide computer classes to the seniors and the residents. So this computer lab becomes a hub for the community to learn how to use technology, but thats the parents and the adults. We have been able to identify what we call a stem date. The acronym is Science Technology engineering and math. Kids should be exposed no matter what type of background or ethnicity or income status. Thats where we actually create magic. Something that the kids are really excited about is science and so the way that we execute that is through making slime. And as fun as it is, its still a Chemical Reaction and you start to understand that with the materials that you need to make the slime. They love adding their little twists to everything. Its just a place for them to experiment and thats really what we want. I see. Really what the excitement behind that is that youre making something. Logs, legos, sumo box, art, drawing, computers, mine craft, and really its just awaking opportunity. Keeping their attention is like one of the Biggest Challenges that we do have because, you know, theyre kids. They always want to be doing something, be helping with something. So we just let them be themselves. We have our set of rules in place that we have that we want them to follow and live up to. And we also have our set of expectations that we want them to achieve. This is like my first year officially working with kids. And definitely ive had moments where theyre not getting something. They dont really understand it and youre trying to just talk to them in a way that they can make it work teaching them in different ways how they can get the light bulb to go off and ive seen it firsthand and it makes me so happy when it does go off because its like, wow, i helped them understand this concept. I love playing games and i love having fun with my friends playing dodge ball and a lot of things that i like. Its really cool. They dont give you a lot of cheese to put on there, do they . Youve got like a little bit left. We learn programming to make them work. We do computers and programming. At the bottom here, we talk to them and we press these buttons to make it go. And this is to turn it off. And this is to make it control on its own. If you press this twice, it can do any type of tricks. Like you can move it like this and moves. It actually can go like this. Like, wow, theyre just absorbing everything. So it definitely is a wholehearted moment that i love experiencing. The realities right now, 5. 3 latinos working in tech and about 6. 7 African Americans working in tech. And, of course, those Tech Companies are funders. So i continue to work really hard with them to close that gap and work with the San Francisco Unified School District so juniors and seniors come to our program, so kids come to our stem hub and be exposed to all those things. Its a big challenge. We have a couple of other providers here on site, but weve all just been trying to Work Together and let the kids move around from each department. Some kids are comfortable with their admission, but if they want to jump in with city of dreams or hunters point, we just try to collaborate to provide the best opportunity in the community. Devmission has provided services on westbrook. They teach you how to code. How to build their own mini robot to providing access for the youth to partnerships with adobe and sony and google and twitter. And so devmission has definitely brought access for our families to resources that our residents may or may not have been able to access in the past. The San Francisco house and Development Corporation gave us the grant to implement this program. It hasnt been easy, but we have been able to see now some of the Success Stories of some of those kids that have been able to take the opportunity and continue to grow within their education and eventually become a very successful citizen. So the computer lab, theyre doing the backpacks. I dont know if youre going to be able to do the class. You still want to try . Yeah. Go for it. We have a young man by the name of ivan mello. He came here two and a half years ago to be part of our digital arts music lab. Graduating with natural, fruity loops, rhymes. All of our music lyrics are clean. He came as an intern, and now hes running the program. That just tells you, we are only creating opportunities and theres a young man by the name of eduardo ramirez. He tells the barber, whats that flyer . And he says its a program that teaches you computers and art. And i still remember the day he walked in there with a baseball cap, full of tattoos. Nice clean hair cut. I want to learn how to use computers. Graduated from the program and he wanted to work in i. T. Well, eduardo is a dreamer. Right. So trying to find him a job in the Tech Industry was very challenging, but that didnt stop him. Through the effort of the office of economic work force and the grant i reached out to a few folks i know. Post mates decided to bring him on board regardless of his legal status. He ended his internship at post mates and now is at hudacity. That is the power of what technology does for young people that want to become part of the Tech Industry. What weve been doing, its very innovative. Helping kids k12, transitional age youth, families, parents, communities, understand and to be exposed to stem subjects. Imagine if that mission one day can be in every Affordable Housing community. The opportunities that we would create and thats what im trying to do with this San Francisco Health Commission and for information, the poll at the city hall is open until 8 00 oclock tonight. So if anyone would like to not only vote but receive this amazing new sticker that commissioner chung is wearing, that has the golden gate bridge, california flower and several other beautiful beautiful, poppies remembrances of San Francisco please go ahead and vote. So the first thing is now to call the roll. Yes, and were all present today which is great. Ill start with you commissioner chow. Yes, present. Commissioner chung. Present. Commissioner jer ard o. Present. And commissioner greene. Present. And we will now read the land acknowledgment
