Economic future. Are you supportive of the plans for the new warriors stadium . Im supportive of a plan that includes the residents of this city. Specifically, with the warrior stadium, i think it could be a great opportunity for San Francisco. But i want to make sure that in the agreement that there are some requirements that make sure that people are not just employed for construction opportunities. Theyre employed for management opportunities, theyre employed for concession opportunities, theyre employed with the warriors team. I mean, theres a whole nother franchise of opportunities that exists as a result of this particular team. And who are they going after, what folks are they mentoring, or what are who are the people that are going to be longterm working with the establishment .

And as you know, there are some issues with switch backs for example on muni and folks feeling like, you know, they dont have adequate service down to the end of the line. So, i have worked with mta and were trying to figure out solutions to address
The low interfacing with your colleagues, working with a large bureaucracy to make it happen. It is tough. It is not easy to come before the Community Organizers working with small nonprofits, it was very unfamiliar to me, to slowly move a large glacier. Are there any other issues that concern you we have not discussed, or any other issues of specific interest you plan to concentrate on . Supervisor kim job growth, economic development. Land use. I did to represent one of the most exciting and dynamic districts in the city. I think it is exciting weekend model how to be a smart growth neighborhood, how we can use transit effectively to serve our city and do a lot of greentype policies we have developed over the last 10 years. But the third area of office is really interested in is how to support families in need. Honestly, that is not Something City hall has done in good enough job with.
