Out the importance of planting trees. San francisco has one of the smallest urban canopies of any major city in the United States. And we know this, we have an urban forest plan that called for the planning of trees of 2,500 trees per year. Since we rolled that out, we have failed every year and last year we added a total of one tree to our urban canopy. And part of the problem is the lack of budget. Even in this years fiscal budget, next years budget for this city, we barely have enough money to keep up with the rate of removals, let alone growing our urban canopy.

De risking strategy poses yet another threat to foreign businesses operating there. I think the biggest challenge right now is the clear message from the United States government coming right out of the white house that theyre encouraging us businesses to essentially what they call de risk from china, that theyre encouraging us businesses to limit investment in china, especially when it has to do with industries that touch on National Security concerns. One of the things that china had introduced over the weekend, theyre offering Tax Incentives as well as help with visas. But is that going to work . I dont think so. Not right off the bat.
