Road, no one wants to experience going to a crime scene on the road knowing your loved one has been hit by a car or sadly tragically killed. I remember years ago on turk street and laguna, when a lot of us were hanging out and just kind of enjoying the weather, it was a really nice hot time, like in the fall and my god son was crossing the street on turk at the intersection of turk and buchanan where theres no stoplight and he was hit by a car. We watched as you flew in the air and thought oh my god, oh my god, just to see it, and had no control over what was going to happen was devastating. And luckily he had minor injuries, luckily he survived, and i just really felt strongly, we have to do better as a city. We have to do better with the vehicles that are speeding on our streets. We have to do better with our infrastructures and when people push back on me about the improvements and bike infrastructure and all of those things we need to do, we have to make our roads safe. Its not abo
[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
Projects such as the el taraval, waiting for m. T. A. To be ready for the track replacement so we could never repave the whole road. I know its our practice to combine as many projects as possible, you get in once and redo everything, but also meant ever since another supervisor, i dont know if this will, i hope the schedule will continue on track, we havent done anything to that stretch. So, im just wondering how it is in the future, i know a lot of Public Comment you have to take on some of these muni forward or rapid projects, but it really does cost delay and other critical things that need to happen, such as the track replacement or the street repaving that goes along with it. So, any thoughts as you are moving forward with other rail lines and so forth . Yeah, so, thank you for the question and through the chair. We are trying to make sure that we are coordinating all of these projects. And if i recall when i was at public works, they did not have the Rail Replacement money yet,
Female without objection, the ordinance finally passes unanimously. Announcer marking one of San Franciscos biggest housing Reform Efforts in recent history.

Bigad here in San Francisco, an average 2bedroom apartment will cost you about 4,500 a month. Rent prices in this city are the most expensive in the country, but much of San Francisco is under rent control. So if youve been living in your place for a couple of years, chances are, youre paying a lot less. So theres a huge financial incentive to evict longtime tenants in order to charge new tenants a lot more. Last year, San Franciscos eviction rate was the highest in a decade. Now, were exposing how some landlords are profiting off a loophole that may have led to hundreds of wrongful evictions, families that once called San Francisco home
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.
