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.

Just a couple of examples of those 45 recommendations include Student Transit pass similar to what sf state passed last year. Shared parking project on the balboa reservoir for student parking as well as residents, as well as senior ride matching programs and other Services Like Escort Services to serve the neighborhoods in city college itself. And the final chapter gets to one of the communitys most clear concerns and that is the first mile access along ocean avenue. And their recommendations about improving pedestrian and Bicycle Safety on ocean avenue. And so, ultimately, this is the start of an ongoing conversation and there are many public venues to continue that conversation.
