Ceqa appeal had to be filed, which was filed on november 22. You would think when a ceqa appeal is filed, anything permitted would stop, but it wasnt the case here. Work continued on this site. And to me, its a pattern of bad behavior here. It wasnt until december 21. Yall recall what was going on over the holidays and certainly mr. The holidays after nearly two weeks of my office issuing a stop work order was issued. I find this shocking. The sponsor demolished chimneys without a permit, which has left the home damage and easier to seek demolition approval. Ive voiced many frustrations with planning not making common sense decisions with their reviewal to make common sense changes and landmarking neighborhood without letting the supervisors to know. In this case, they allowed one part of the project to move forward with the rest under review. It doesnt make sense to me. In terms of the ceqa appeal. And the main issue i had. And i will not belabor the point, is the issues that supervis
Was supervisor ronen. We need to have a fair democratic process that goes along with this. This is not about identity, this is about fair process. Right now, San Francisco has seven out of ten Homeless People that once had a roof over their heads, one of the worst income inequalities in the world. The average latino family in the district making 25,000 a year, yet we have white people making 150 k a year. We can house all of these people, but we need to have a fair process, and right now theres a lot of trauma that goes on with the residents of San Francisco because they dont feel they can trust that democratic process right now. We need to appoint an incident ram mayor and get a legally binding contract with the city and county of San Francisco so that way we dont have this caretaker mayor that can actually run in the future, so thats all im saying with that. But i really urge the city and county of San Francisco to have a fair process. That way, its unbiased, with the three candidate
[please stand by] thank you, supervisors and acting mayor breed. Weve had i want to talk both about issues, as well as process. Weve had administration after administration who has sided with corporations instead of the people, and meanwhile, theres people thats getting pushed out of every single one of your districts. We need a mayor whos going to standup to speculators, who will standup to airbnb, and who will push for the deepest levels of affordablity in all of the housing that we build, because all of us know how desperately thats needed. And lastly, we need a caretaker mayor because we need someone whos going to be accountable to the people. Thank you so much for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, board of supervisors and president and acting mayor breed. My name is brandon romney. I am serving on the San Francisco board of berniecrats. I am speaking today on behalf of the democratic process. With the tragic passing of ed lee, our city is in an interesting posit
Manner were rolling, within two years, the deficit will increase to approximately 262 million. Ed said to take care of the program, all departments are going to have to cut back at least 5 of the expenditures on their departments. Moreover, i came up here well over several years ago and pointed out that a negative cash flow was going to take place on the grounds that hightech Companies Twitter is getting a minnesota munl of 125 million a year of free money along with five other hightech Companies Getting a minimum of 125 million a year of free money, which is 3. 1 million. Youve been rolling like this for seven years. So seven years with this amount of money is 217 billion. How can you give this amount of free money to hightech companies that are not homeless in the street, not suffering from a combination of mental and physical disabilities, and yet when you campaign you claim you want to take care of the homeless problem. I further move to have each and every one of you look in the m
Interesting position, where incumbents have the position to run for mayor in june. I am asking that this board vote for an interim mayor who is not running for the seat. This will allow the voters the first chance in over a decade to make their own decision on who should represent them. If the board of supervisors can spend over an hour discussing a house in a wealthy neighborhood, they can at least take that much time to discuss the caretaker mayor. Thank you for your comments. Before the next speaker, a gentle reminder, please use your fingers. Next speaker, please. Happy new years, board of supervisors. My favorite Winter Holiday is kwanzaa because its about unity, and if you could show this. Please come out on the 18th, and hopefully, acting mayor breed will be out for this rally, out in front of city hall and supporting rising African American leadership for the fillmore heritage center. Secondly, one of the things that ed lee wanted to see accomplished right before his tragic pas
