[applause] the hon. London breed and let me say, today is about networking, today is about coming together, but we all have to remember is we still have challenges in this country. And part of what were challenged today is to take our knowledge, to take what we learned, to take this excitement and spread this all over the city and all over the board rooms, positions as c. E. O. S of fortune 500 companies. So the goal here is to sink in all this advanced knowledge and think about ways that we can put our best selves forward, but also, we always have to remember to reach back and pull up one another. Thats what today is all about, because ill tell you, had it not been for some of the most incredib incredible women in my community, the amazing mentors who looked out for me, i dont know where id be. Ill just tell you a quick story. My first job at age 14 was working as a place called the Family School. Now, i showed up the first day. Maybe i wasnt necessarily dressed like i am in my mayora
Id like to start your time now i got to switch my strategy because you switched the goddamn topic. Would you like to start Public Comment . Nonresident, you got a lot of nerve talking about nonresident. You got 3,000 strike that you got 320,000 undocumented people that not residents in the city and county of goddamned San Francisco. And theyre not homeless. Is that clear . You got illegal immigration, getting brand new apartments, paying 2, 3 a month. Paying 3 a month for the past several years and he said he had increase in his rent and his rent has been increased to 80 a month for a brand new studio apartment. Is that fair . Then you got citizens, understand me, paying 3,000 a month for the same type of apartment. You have the audacity to talk about nonresidents paying fees. How come you dont talk about noncitizens . You have controversy over one area of the city for tourists to pay and you chance to charge yourself rent, you only charge yourself a 1 a month. Turns out its a 1 a year
