Streets, lights and timers are provided near Senior Centers. I live near two Senior Centers with no timers. You just sort of just talk across the street. And something bad can happen there, because a senior on their wheelchair could take more time than the average pedestrian. I want to continue the pensions and benefits that seniors receive, given by california and the city and county of San Francisco. And i want to make sure that everyday activities, seniors going to buy groceries at the market, or going to the park, i want to make sure theyre accessible. That means having senior accusations on transportation. Moderator thank you very much. Miss omeara. Theres one thing that everybody left out. It got me thinking a little while back on the senior issue. Like i would like people to hear it and know how you respond. Wellness centers is one thing i associate with seniors. I know this from personal experience, because having lived with my inlaws a little while back hold on. Ill be real qu
We have cam malaharris and nancy pelosi from San Francisco. We are proud of progress and we cannot be complacent. That is what you are hearing today. It didnt escape me i am the only one that was not a legislature at one time or current legislator. I had a career in the department and i chose to vote. What can you do . You can bring Voter Registration forms with you wherever you go. How many people have a Registration Form in their purse or pocket . Dont assume that your family members and friends are registered. Make sure they are registered. Talk to them about becoming registered and give them a form. Candidates, put a Voter Registration ling on your website. Make sure people can link to Voter Registration. Each of our experiences helps us to become the person we are. In my case the employment list in an nontraditional job was the first step i took to becoming the first elected woman sheriff. That is a hint. We are all becoming each day of our lives with the ability to make choices f

Safety and stability of seniors as a top priority for any supervisor in San Francisco. Moderator thank you very much. Ms. Brown. Yes. I mean, seniors are the Fastest Growing population in this city. So we really have to really look at what we need to do. We also, besides housing and on the housing bond, the 600 million housing bond that i actually worked on, there will be money for senior housing. We need appropriate housing. I talked to many seniors every day. And one of the things they say is like, look, i have rent control. But i have you know, 50 stairs up to get to my apartment. And i have a hard time managing that.

The question is, are physicians allowed to do that . Make a request of their members and say, if you want to stay on my patient list, and if you want to get a better response, or you want me to be your physician, pay me that extra 500 per year,
