Policing, its never been an Institution Designed to keep us safe and used as a tool for those in power to keep the marginalized people from rising up, going all the way back to the slave patrol. Sharing im the policing unfairly targets marginalized communities, injects massive amounts of people into the prison system. We heard about reform from chief scott today, but all those measures ignore the fact that reform is not effective. We need to defund and sfpd and invest in our communities immediately. I yield my time. Thank you for your comments. It cannot force you to create money in a budget. Cut the budget and cut the numbers of police and Fund Services that help humans. End the violence against black and brown people that is built into policing. I disagree with supervisors assessment of what his constituents want. We want services, not Police Officers. I have heard on this call that over time sfpd at the airport, the focus of sfpd and the mandated reforms are not well understood by s
Unified parcel tax or city college parcel tax. With the School District there is a Program Available for seniors to be exempted from paying that tax if you live in the property or if you own that property. It depends which ballot measure it is. We encourage seniors to reach out to make sure you apply if you are eligible. That can save you Something Like 2 to 300 annually if not more. That is meaningful for many individuals. I think that is it in terms of property taxes, how it would work in terms of covid19 and savings available. Individuals over 54 and people have asked if i am over 54 and want to keep the tax basis and consider moving out of San Francisco, what are the criteria . Shannon, this is a property tax question for me. I will share it quickly. This is a question about can i transfer protected base value to another county. There are two programs available. First is an intercounty program. People living in San Francisco. It is called prop 60. The way that would work is essenti
Violence d. G. O. And the deaf and hard of hearing which is coming up for a vote later this month. But you should know that we were meeting on the d. V. Domestic violence d. G. O. For four years before this, before the new process was put into place, and so those meetings were not happening without sfpd, those were meetings with the d. P. A. , the Domestic Violence consortium and other shake holders and sf stakeholders and sfpd for four years, and we could not get this to the commission. Now were starting over, or theres a chance to start it over in this new process, so we support this resolution. Also, the deaf and hard of hearing, which we talked about a month ago, thats been worked on at the table for two years. Every day that sfpd does not have these updated d. G. O. S, san franciscans are in jeopardy. This must happen. I also signed onto a letter that was not available to the public that really delineated the process from bay area legal aid. We were honored to sign onto it, and we
A bigger fog bank as it will be cooler for the next couple of days before we warmup on the weekend. Some breaks in the low clouds but a much bigger coverage on the bog. Still 53 to 58 degrees in most areas. Cooler for most today. More than onshore breeze. Cool and very warm across the embarcadero. Low clouds and fog filling it rapidly as low pressure moves in along the west coast but look for that to continue. Cooler into friday and a rebound on the weekend. But when the low starts to move in, temperatures will be near average today which is 60s and 70s and a few near 80 degrees but not that much above. Lets see if theres anything new. The bay bridge is quite. This is strange because most commutes are slowing. Lets talk about the bay bridge because a lot of people are taking their own car and fewer people are riding on part. Tarte people many people are using their car. If youre driving on interstate 880, no slow traffic. We see a little bit of congestion here and there. If you are use
