And through the captains newsletters to talk to people about sensible driving and about paying attention as theyre walking and moving through the city. If we could ask anything of the walking public, were all in love with our little devices now. Im addicted to mine. But as we walk, we need to be mindful of where were walking and we need to be looking up and paying attention. Our most were most vulnerable when we are walking and were not looking. So, please, i know its a busy time of year. Its the holidays. We all have a lot of things on our minds and were trying to keep ourselves on schedule. But look up and look around before you step off. Take that extra minute. We ask the same thing of the driving public which is why were out there making traffic stops every day, enforcing the texting driving laws, educating or citing as it seems fit. All of our activities are aimed at bringing those numbers down and making this a safe Holiday Season and a safe city as we go forward. So, thank you v
Special shout out to daniel homesy who is the originator of this. Thank you, daniel. applause also i want to acknowledge his right hand christina palone, the new director, mon, Mayors Office Neighborhood Services over there in that corner. applause and for those of you that dont know, i represent district 10, thats the southeast neighborhoods. Thats bayview, thats potrero hill, visitacion valley, its a little hollywood, its dogpatch. It used to be the portola, half of it. My heart is still with you, but im glad like the speaker said, it is whole. And that is whats important, is that that neighborhood remains whole so that our city will be whole. You agree . [cheering and applauding] cheers so, a few years back there was this little idea to take back the bayview and really began to rewrite the history and the narrative that we often hear about in bayview. And it actually started, ironically, with a small little abandoned swath of land that has grown up to become the cuseda garden. And i
Thank you, monique, and good morning. So, when i was invited to come and participate at this event, i suggested that the elected officials, mayor lee and supervisor kim, that the three of us do a rendition of sitting on the dock by the bay. [laughter] and i just want to say thank you, otis redding, for sparing us of that. One of the things so special about that song is it refers to otis redings experience of coming from thousands of miles away. I suspect it is true for all the officials here, we all came from other parts of the country to this very sacred space called San Francisco. And my guess is everyone here, you either came from somewhere else, or you are the child of the grandchild of someone who decided to pick up from another dock from another part of the world to be where we are today. And, in fact, over 160 years ago, this was the embarkation point for thousands of immigrants, particularly the first asian immigrants to this very spot. And i think its very, very special that w
And then supervisor kim and i and david chiu had been fresh off of helping the Company Called twitter sustain the city and i want to thank supervisor kim, who is here today and were working closely together to make sure were doing it right. That all of the impacts that we can generate positively, not only on Central Market, but throughout her district and throughout the city. I also want to acknowledge other people that are working really hard, because my feeling in a yearago was that after all of those things that we did, and the work that we had done that first year, rest was my major focus. And after i met with you last year, rest was not on the agenda. Absolutely not. In fact, we had gone right to work because there were so many of you who had also felt that the city could turnaround. You have given me and our staff Investor Confidence in this city as we move forward and there are so many things to report on. And i couldnt get much rest because i had a lot of other people who wante

Id just like to say thanks to the city of San Francisco and the mayor and all of you great people for keeping the legacy of otis redding alive. And a quick thing about the song. My mother said my father was in california and done some shows in los angeles. And he came home and he told her he wanted to be a new otis redding, not the begging and pleading, he wanted to do something totally different. He came home and started putting bits and pieces of a song together. It goes like this. You can sing along if you want to. It goes like this. In the mo
