Want to say that its okay to do that, i think fundamental problem with the way city hall has approached this issue is the same fundamental problem the way city hall has approached a lot of other issues whether its americas cup, whether its the twitter tax break, its basically about a small group of people behind closed doors coming up with a deal and then presenting it to the public after the fact without any input from the public before the specifics of the deal are finalized. So as long as we keep doing that, we are only going to be exacerbating the tension that is between that is out there. I dont think this helps the Tech Industry and in fact i think the best thing we can do for the Tech Industry is to treat them the same way we treat all of san franciscans. I think this is going to be a problem because its only going to make things worse and i think its a fundamental mistake and i think we are going to look back at this decision today not too long from today unfortunately and regr
People we are going to have to do something about this. We see ceqa impede transit investment and transit advances whether its a Shuttle Program or all man or Public Transportation project. We are seeing the California Environmental quality act being used to delay and defeat Public Transit and transportation projects that will lead to cleaner air and will get cars off the road. We should not contribute to that trend with that appeal. This appeal does not have merit. We should address the problems facing our city without pretending with somehow requiring an eir with this Pilot Program is going to do anything to solve our problems. I would be supporting the motion. Supervisor chiu . Thank you. Let me first start by thanking all the members of the public who have stuck around for 7 hours. I want to thank you for your input and comment or mr. Drurey to stand in the case and those who support this appeal. We all know we are in an affordability crisis. The represent is too damn high and we k
Avalos, supervisor mar and kim for their cosponsorship is legislation that is essentially at its core maximizes the benefits of how the the Affordable Care act and housing security ordinance interact so we maximize the number of san franciscans that are actually insured. Since the mayor release temperature final report from the universal Health Council that met over the course of 4 months from september to december of last year, we have been working with Health Care Experts to figure out how do we live up to the objectives, the maybe objective outlined by the council to maximize peoples access to health care and insurance. There are a number of people who have helped us in crafting this legislation and i want to begin by thank aun lewis, koom ar workcited San Francisco council and jacobs from the labor center. Ken, aun and paul have worked continue less hours to help us craft the amendments that we were introducing. I also want to thank the incredible work from sherrie, kaiser from the
To base this appeal on the merits that are before us and i do think there are ways in which we can distinguish some of these other potential appeals and i actually think that whats likely to happen here if this appeal is denied as it looks like its going to be, i think that there will be a legal victory for the appellants in court because of the insufficiency of the evidence and the rational that has been presented. And what i would say is that i wholeheartedly agree with what has been said about the issue of tech workers. We could not in anyway demonize tech workers. They are San Francisco residents. What i have in perspective is this, is that i dont think that wanting to work with the Tech Industry means that you completely rollover and give them everything they want or even beyond what they are asking for. I think that working with the Tech Industry means precisely what had been said which is you treat them as san francians. But the problem with this pilot is that you are actually t
Daniel webster around. Today Daniel Webster has a waiting list of students seeking to attend and has a rising test score index. A huge change from prior years when it was ranked last in the San Francisco unified school district. Her efforts have helped reinvigorates the school in this neighborhood. Dina was just 48 years years young behind and leaves two young boys and her husband. I had the pleasure of working with dina and been in office and can a test to her wavering commitment to Portrero Hill and district 10. Her spirit of fight will truly be missed but most certainly be lived on. City clerk thank you supervisor cohn. Supervisor tang .
