On the pedal today its a roundtable conversation. Beccah, colleen, marcia weinstein, megan spring gate. The way this is want to go is we will give you a little context about the womens history work happening at the National Level. Then we will have a roundtable discussion about how the messages came to be so you can take that practice back to your community for 2020 to build into your communities. That is the intro. I am the associate director for publications and program at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. I help build the Digital Content for preservation leadership forum. I spent a lot of time thinking about how we can tell the full American History for underrepresented communities across the United States. Im a public historian by training and Historic Preservation by way of being at the trust for 13 years. I believe they work handinhand. I thought i would start by telling a few of the things we have been doing at the National Trust over the years for women to history.
Issues, both the policies and politics of it. I want to thank everybody that came out today to share your perspectives on either side of the issue and the many that have communicated directly to my office and to my colleagues. I think this sort of contentious nature that we have gotten to around the proposals to streamline Affordable Housing highlight how complex these issues are and there are a lot of different perspectives to best address these problems. It highlights how important it is to get the details right and to consider the specific details. I think the presentations today, thank you so much to the Mayors Office of housing and Planning Department as well. The presentations have been helpful along with Public Comment in clarifying my thoughts. I want to say that i am proud of the board of supervisors measure. It will rezone and streamline Affordable Housing sites across the cities specially the western neighborhoods serving a wide range of people without pitting it against low
I agree with it. I wish you wouldve had it during the younger years when i was in fillmore. Each and every one of these people that came up here and explained why they want this, to have this type of protection, they are also crying out because it is their source of income in order to support themselves. This proposal, to displace them, is an example of gentrification. Gentrification is a word that is used to discriminate against people based on geographical locations. You are doing it to them, and even though their skin color is not black, it is the same type of treatment that black people had to suffer in the Western Addition of fillmore. For example, gentrification in washington is taking place, there is an attorney that has the same type of philosophy as me and suing washington, d. C. For the gentrification and displacement of tenants for hightech people that is displacing lower income bracket people. This is a derivative of this kind of demonstration that im putting before you.

Development authority. [applause] he has seen the gamut of what we have done. Since Treasure Island was just a thought. He was there for that. And now to the point where infrastructure is being done in the first housing to be built. Over a decade of service to the authority. We think you for your expertise and for your commitment. I think we have something for you, and i will let bob give it. This is just a small token of our appreciation for your years of service area service. As fay said it is just a token of our appreciation for decades worth of work with the title board. We want to thank you for all of your support, at work, and helping us to the point we are at today. Thank you. Before i let you talk, i will let the other commissioners say a few words. Thank you very much. Commissioner samaha, one of the things that people want to know about you also is that you are a very well, highly regarded leader in San Francisco. So many things you do that sometimes people do not know, and i
Can you tell me what is causing those breakdowns and what the new system will prevent how the new system will prevent that type of occurrence on Treasure Island . Yeah, generally speaking, the vulnerability of the existing system is hi, both in the transmission lines, the above and underground portions of the existing system. They are buried and underground. Many of our outages, the p. U. C. The results of their work is inconclusive as to what caused the outage, which tends to indicate, it tends to point out to the primary switch here on the island. Even when they are able to identify an outage as being, for instance, related to a bird strike, really, the bird strike is a cause of the outage, but the underlying vulnerabilities in the mean underlying vulnerability is in the main switch. The new switchgear that we will have wilma will be much more fault tolerant. It will be able to handle fluctuations in amperage that happens, for instance, when a bird flies into the power lines.
