Approved my proposed amendments to the boards original resolution. The amendments clearly state the need for sb50 to ensure that existing area plans are respected and allow the community to engage in planning to increase housing density giving communities a seat at the table. Number two, capture more of the value conferred to developers when we upzone and direct it to Affordable Housing and community benefits. Number three, provide meaningful funded and enforceable protections against displacement and gentrification. And number 4, ensure there is adequate Transportation Resources to go alongside housing development. I went to work in good faith with the state representatives as we work on our local efficients on Community Planning and Affordable Housing development. Including our accomplishments with eraf, housing bond, jobs housing linkage fees, prop e and budget wins, both local and state, for planning and development, particularly on the west side. Its not enough to say what were ag
I dont know how you did it to this day, but they did do it. They got together, they got a loan from the help of our mayor who gave 1 million to be able to provide the underlying financing so they could go and get a loan from the bank to purchase the whole building. They joined with other lawyers in the community, other latino leaders like Victor Marques who served as a lawyer, and they saved this building. I will never, for the rest of my life, forget what you did for this community. Forget the blood, sweat, and tears that you put in to making this happen because it was almost impossible. It truly was almost impossible. I couldnt find a way out and you did. That is why the people of district nine and the latin ex communities forever grateful to you four. You dont just do this every day of your lives creating miracles in your own organizations and for your community, but on top of what you do every day, you took on one of the hardest projects and you made it happen and you are all in my

It did take a village. I was really lucky when i was 14 years old to get an internship. The difference that it made for me is i had a job, but there were other people who didnt have a job, who, unfortunately, needed money. And they were shown to commit illegal acts to get money. That is what i want to prevent. [ ] today we are here to officially kick off the first class of opportunities for all. [applause]. Opportunities for all is a program that mayor breed launched in october of 2018. It really was a vision of mayor breed to get to all of the young people in San Francisco, but with an intention to focus on young people that have typically not being able to access opportunities such as internships or workbased learning opportunities. Money should never be a barrier to your ability to succeed in life and that is what this program is about. Theres always these conversations about young people not being prepared and not having experience for work and if they dont get an opportunity to wo
Adults and children and more we have at any given time, go in on a sunday morning and youll see everything from toddlers to people my age there, and they are indeed playing mini golf, ski ball, basketball and they are eating, because its a full service restaurant, and they are drinking either alcoholic beverages if they choose to and of course theres nonalcoholic beverages. We have kids until 8 00. And we have many of them. So im going to talk a little bit about the economics of the situation. And i can tell you very clearly there would be, no, you are ban putt if we didnt have a restaurant and a bar. We only charge 12 for miniature golf. We have a full Maintenance Team that has to come in every morning to do work on it. It would not be financially feasible for us to have that. So, in fact, having food, and it is a full service restaurant, which is important. I have two kids. And they are there quite a lot. Ive lived in San Francisco, it will be 30 years next year. I live in vernal hei
