Power to order individuals that walk out on the street and may someday need help in the hospitals have decided not to issue that order in the past seven weeks. I want to know why because it doesnt make sense to me, and it doesnt make sense to my constituents, both housed and unhoused. If you walk the streets of the city, it doesnt make sense to any of those thousands of people that are obviously dangerously camping in the street right next to each other with no access to hygiene. So i dont want you to hide behind the City Attorney, i want to know why you havent issued a health order requiring intervention on the basis of Public Health facility. You just shutdown the entire economy of San Francisco, and you were willing to do that, and i stood by you, and i stand by you in that decision.

Continue to take a look at. But we dont have a viable model yet that we can necessarily replicate. And thats why its not yet in the program. Commissioner fewer okay. Because i just want to also emphasize that some of these communities for a long time have not had equitable Transportation Services to begin with. When you eliminate these there are other viable means of transportation like many of these people, who are low income, have not had the same opportunities as other communities have. If we had millions of dollars to give this to everyone, i would just say theres no cause for it. When youre telling me its 70 to 100 people a week, i just think that sometimes we have to prioritize those who are the most in need, meaning that if they were to seek the Transportation Options themself, they would not be able to put their food on their table or feed their children or pay their rent.
