Personally affected when i consider that i have family members that stay in these developments, or when i received complaints about maintenance, and on a positive note, good news when we receive grants from the federal government to help with the sf rebuild. Two weeks ago i attended a ribboncutting ceremony when the mayor, i am whole community got the opportunity to tour a 4unit building. We are progressing and moving in the right direction, departing from the way we have been conducting business as it relates to our housing. It is no surprise that the Housing Authority has struggle with the more than 200 million unfunded maintenance liability, and decreasing resources from hud. I appreciate the budget analysts presentation and willingness to work with the board on this particular issue. However there are a number of realities that i want this audit to recognize and incorporate into its framework and im going to go down quickly, and circle back and provide you with detailed documentati
With information that we develop as part of the cost effectiveness evaluation of these projects and as part of this exercise we group Group Projects into three tiers. Question for you. I should have said this to you as you are flipping through the slides. This is great. Im also at who we reached chart. My district and supervisor avaloss district is pretty paltry. Its not reflective of the district i represent. I am curious at how we should look at this and balance it out. First of all, only about half of the folks indicated that residential zip code. For about half the people, they chose to not indicate where they live. Keep in mind that this map reflects the zip code of people who submitted a budget. We did a lot more outreach besides just offering the budget game. For instance, we went to in district 2, we went to fleet week, and Fishermans Wharf cbd and other groups that include Fishermans Wharf cbd is in district 3. I am disappointed that i dont want to speak for commissioner avalo
Are being met and we are mindful of the fact that we are talking about an agency subject to the jurisdiction of the federal government. We know that the department of housing and urban development, hud, is conducting a nodded to see if the Housing Authority is comply with housing standards among other things. We know that a city we invest resources in redevelopment for instance Housing Authority property. One of the objectives of this review is simply to ensure that our partner, the Housing Authority, is in a Strong Financial position. And that the investments that the city is making a properly managed. The kind of review that i have in mind is a review that is consistent with how we as a board deal with the management and operations of various agencies. We as a board under our rules actually have a point of calling for different types of audits from time to time, including a management audit which under our rules as opposed to happen every eight years or so. And when we look at the is
Commissions and had this conversation. It wasnt just the budget game. That we used to get this input. The budget game turned out to be very popular though; we had over 800 submittals. Also submittals in spanish and chinese as well. The premise of this game was a participant would go to the site and would have a gauge a counter that would show the amount of transportation revenue that we expect to have through 2040. The participant would make choices about how to invest that revenue in operations and maintenance, street maintenance, walking, biking, signals, capital expansion projects. The participant could choose whether or not they wanted to add additional revenue, raise taxes or fees in some way, have additional revenue to their budget and they could see what additional investment could be afforded if they made that choice. This is a summary other groups that we reached. I would note that we did ask for volunteer information about participants zip codes, and incoming demographic info
Restrictions, mostly racist ones, chinese immigrants were not welcome and congress added that they endanger the good order. And then politicians do what politicians do. They added more rules including importers of prostitutes and polygamy and anarchic. By the time that immigrants came through ellis island, there were more rules. You couldnt be sick or noticeably sick, doctors were supposed to check for 60 symptoms of disease but they had only a few seconds to decide. So they asked children their names to the if they were deaf or dumb. But you cant order limped, you might be turned away or quarantine. 3000 immigrants died on ellis island while they were quarantined. In all, many were sent back. Most got in. But racism still prevails. But if you are white and from europe, you probably got in because my parents got in. Germany in 1930. Today, we have many more rules. You can come legally only if youre related to someone already here and you have a rare job skill or if you come from the co
