Commercial or residential builds as much Residential Housing as possible. We have huge crisis here not just in San Francisco but throughout our region. We need to make sure were not just building faces for more jobs but housing for our existing residents and new residents as well. I just wanted to take a moment to thank a number of people that helped bring this decade to fruition today at the board of supervisors and first, i want to start with our community. I want to recognize those that were, i think, in our 5 00 a. M. Session with the giants, the council of Community Housing organization, peter cohen and fernando, teresa imperial, ian lewis and mike casey of local 2 who brought the lollypop rings so we could have our own World Champion rings at the table and united educators of San Francisco and finally, shes no longer with us today but april from my office who spent quite a bit of time working on the negotiations and this deal. I also want to thank our residents that have been act
Blurry eyed but happy the deal had been done and i want to recognize the giants. I think one of the things missed in the conversation but eluded to is that the giants are very prolabor organization. We have a lot of folks from Labor Community represented in the room. Not only the workers on site but the workers that will build the facility and this is going to create thousands of jobs for them and then also this was forward thinking in the sense that now we have many projects on public and non Public Land Following in the footsteps, i know we spent a year negotiating a project now that will be 40 affordable and so the expansion of that and this was the groundbreaking project in that regard. So middle class and working class families but also the long conversation we had on inclusionary housing. This is not just lowincome affordable, this is really and truly middle class housing that has not really been done. Weve had that conversation and this is all being done on the dime of the devel
Most excited about and why i coauthored the legislation is the amount of Affordable Housing and middle Income Housing thats being created. 40 of the units will be affordable, and they will be affordable to a wide range of income. This is exactly how we should be developing Affordable Housing in San Francisco. It will be for low and middle income residents earning up to possibly 150 ami. This range captures, as supervisor kim has stated, so many people. Im hoping as a result of this project, that many of the people who are members of local 2, who work at the ballpark, can actually qualify for the housing thats right next to the place that they work. So we have, along with our neighborhood preference legislation, along with the opportunities that will exist here for Affordable Housing of all income ranges, we are hopefully not just going to create a new opportunity for housing. Were going to make sure that residents of this city, people who are part of the workforce in this city and at t
Can for our communities. And that type of integrity and commitment and tenacity has brought us to this point here. So supervisor kim, on behalf of all those families that would be living there and attending the mission bay school, i want to say thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you very much. Supervisor kim thank you supervisor fewer through the chair. And i want to acknowledge supervisor fewers work, since 2009 or 10, she has been advocating for a school in mission bay and last year was the sole voice on the board of education to push for dedicated funds for mission bay schools and the bond and i appreciate you being the voice, even though you dont represent our district, last year in those discussions and making sure we got on to the bond and i want to thank the giants for agreeing to committing and supporting the study process moving forward. Supervisor peskin was joking next to me it was only one night, it was more than one night, it took a lot over one night. So i dont see an
Several more speakers. Theyre just here to be available for questions. They will not be presenting. I just wanted my colleagues to be aware of who is here because i know theres a number of questions around schools, child care, transportation, and so we want to make sure that folks know who is here to present and ask questions to. Thank you, supervisor. Colleagues, i just wanted to take this opportunity to reiterate a few comments i made in committee about this project. This project represents a significant opportunity to transform an under utilized portion of our waterfront into desperately needed housing, parks, and new job opportunities. Im excite to be a coresponse or and look forward to seeing this project completed. One of the components that im most excited about and why i coauthored the legislation is the amount of Affordable Housing and middle Income Housing thats being created. 40 of the units will be affordable, and they will be affordable to a wide range of income.
