Clerk mr. President , you have a quorum. President yee thank you. Would you please join me in the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance] president yee on behalf of the board, i would like to acknowledge the staff of sfgovtv, colina and michael, who record each of our meetings and make them available to the public online. Today, i would like to start off maybe saying a little bit, but not much, just to make sure that people understand what this is. This is a hand sanitizer, and which is very easy to use. If you either use this or soap, either, its healthy, and you can keep your loved ones healthy. If you want to find out more information and find out how the city is responding, you can go to the website, sf72. Org. Sf72. Org. So now that im all sanitized, we can begin. Madam clerk, are there any communications . Clerk i have none to report, mr. President. President yee okay. Colleagues, today we are approving the minutes from the january 21, 2020 special Board Meeting and the janu
From chinatowns map he posted dozens of parcels within the latina cull surgical district. There is no public process. It doesnt limit. That resolution might be strengthened to say it eliminated it. We have a planning process before we mass up zone. That takes i it away. You are not allowed to create a area plan for the neighborhood. Northeast zone is up zoned. We dont say we are doing massive building here so maybe the area in the cultural district might be under the height levels. That is not allowed. It is a buy right kind of zoning. That makes no sense, particularly in communities that have been targeted historically as well as right now. Right now the mission incorrectly at the 25 level we heard discussion projects are coming forward. Land is bought, projects are developed and put into the pipeline. That is happening as well. I think i want to highlight this builds no housing. It starts by saying, give away billions of dollars to landowners and developers and hope they decide to bu
Model. Let it was figure out what the state can do to help, not hurt. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. George wooding, coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods. I support Affordable Housing, and i also am in very much agreement with the board and supervisor mars resolution. I object to the false choice that scott weiner presented the board of supervisors saying if you are not for sb50 you must be antigrowth. I think that was a terrible position to put you in because i know that you are doing the best for the city. As peter just stated, i dont think one size fits all, and definitely the amendments have to take care of different aspects of the city and the character of San Francisco. I think sb 50 billions the market rate housing much more so when you look at arena than it ever did build Affordable Housing. There is no profit in building Affordable Housing so it forces developers, even wellmeaning once, to build a market rate. Rate. It is a massive give away to deve
Reporter the heavy downpour over the weekend had nowhere to go once it hit wawona street and 15th avenue. Water was gushing out from underneath these homes. Sewage spread across this road. Shes wearing a hazmat suit to suck up the stuff in the intersection. That stuff was a foot deep in my master bedroom. Why am i not in a hazmat suit . Reporter these residents are dealing with the aftermath and paying up to 5,000 to clean up. It takes 24 hours, especially with the water that came up from outside, it takes 24 hours to get mold inside. If we dont do that right away, theres a lot of damage in their homes. Reporter they had crews working over the weekend but only deal with whats on the surface. Our crews came out with a sweeper truck and helped clear up that debris after the incident. Reporter we questioned the San Francisco Public Utilities commission. They are in charge of the drains and responsible for areas prone to flooding. Their answer, the drain system was not big enough, but they
Service to those who need it. Thank you. Next speaker. I have lived in the city since 1976. I basically totally oppose sb50. It is so flawed it shouldnt be considered. I support the resolution opposing it. I think it is a good way to deal with a bad thing. I think we have a housing problem decades in the making, and now it is an emergency. That emergency is being used to basically just create or developer give away. I agree it is capitalism out of control, i think. A bigger problem we keep Digging Deeper into the hole. We keep building more and more office space that we dont have housing to support people working in the offices. I think what we should do is stop the development of the offices, play the same game the developers are playing with us, and threaten them with loss of work and huge amounts of money they are making for themselves and investors and get them to the table with us. Another thing that bothers me the only good thing is getting housing close to transit. As another sp
