And to hear from you guys about what is happening. And to not make folks have to come to city hall, because that can be a haul for folks.

Infrastructure to support our families here and what kind of support services, are we planning for the next 20 years to support the families coming in . Do we have enough recreation and open space and i think that all of these things the families look at and schools do need to look at this and not in isolation but rather, as part of the bigger picture. Of what makes San Francisco a great place to live and people want it live here. And educate the children in the Public School system and actually lay down roots here. Thank you. Thank you, commissioner. Seeing, no further comment. At this time, i will open up for Public Comment. Seeing no Public Comment at this time, Public Comment is now closed.

Cincinnati, toledo, buffalo, and all across the midwest. There are literally almost a dozen. Its exciting work and its important work and its really focussed on kind of national and regional and local economic policy. Great. Im going to follow up with you again, steve, for a minute. Director rodriguez said that absent federal action, congressional action, we cannot do it all. So, with employmentbased visas, you cant create them or other types of visas. What strategies do you use to overcome those types of challenges . Sure. Make no mistake that the biggest economic boost would be a more sense kal and higher performing federal immigration policy that works for local economies.
