Our general plans. 2016 was the sixth Consecutive Year of job growth in San Francisco and its estimated that we had over 703,000 jobs in the city at the end of 2016, which is a new record. The city added just under 29,000 jobs in 2016. Over the past decade, weve added almost 150,000 jobs. Unemployment has continued to fall to 3. 3 in the city. As you can see, the city continues to outperform the region, the state and the nation on unemployment. Employment has grown across all sectors of the economy, with the notable exception of hotels. As you mentioned, construction jobs did grow from a low of 13,860 in 2011, which was the low, lowest point of the economy, to over 20,000 in 2016. So theyre back to the highs that they were prerecession. And construction jobs do, in fact, make up one of the largest proportions of pdr jobs in the city. Average wage citywide is 101,640, and has grown consistently 7 the last decade. Average wage is probably not the most outful metric. One of the reasons it
Are directly associated with m. E. P. And m. E. P. Installation and systems and commissioning which all have a string of dependencies on getting permanent power. If we were to remove the wrong assumption about where the water hookup is on the critical pact, would all of those shift back . Thats my initial reaction and the word that i get this week is, no. Because of again, state of readiness or state of completion with electrical rooms and main distribution rooms for the low voltage arent quite where they ought to be. And they are applying more resources. Theres 200 electricians out there, but, you know, without you know, without the appropriate pieces of equipment and the equipment being led up by the distribution of power and low voltage, systems commissioning is constrained. As well as to a certain degree exterior and enclosures and waterproof, not so much waterproof but exteriors and enclosures because theres some devices and what have you that are associated with that work as well
To 6. 5 billion. Bringing you now into 2016, right as were ready to head to 2018, the latest estimates on unemployment in San Francisco show an incredibly low 2. 7 unemployment. Believe it or not, there are two counties that have even lower unemployment, and those are our neighbors, san matao and marin. The report and data is available on our website and at dsf. Org. With that, im happy to take any comments or questions after Public Comment. Thank you. Well open this item up for Public Comment. Any Public Comment . Seeing none, commissioners . No questions. Thank you for the report. Sorry, commissioner johnson. Commissioner johnson really quickly. As usual, the mandated reports are helpful to us as we think about the overall context of the work we do. Its notable the significant increase in Construction Activity in the city. People thought they saw they have seen cranes for years, but apparently theres more of them. Its interesting that we continue to see that, but theres talk that it
Sandy as it struck. In that book i was looking at how it was that we have gotten super storm sandy so long how it was that new york had failed to issued evacuation orders and how it was that 70 buildings and key pieces of infrastructure were flooded. During that storm. In the meteorologist there who were incredibly talented cap time in the same thing over and over again. We are just not very good at forecasting in predicting it. For the kind of havoc that is erect by these storms. We saw that in 2017 with hurricane maria. In thinking about the infrastructure and predictions and how it is that we respond to Natural Disaster it occurred to me that for all that is powerful about a hurricane they are no no where near nowhere near our most powerful phenomenon. Earthquakes are stronger and so i started to think how do we prepare for those sorts of Natural Disasters. As a nature and nation. When you think about that. We have the Air National Guard and is capable of flying these into the storm
Conducted for the site and consistent with current planning code requirements, and the proposed revision would be consistent with both. The only thing i would point out is that generally, if a project had already been noticed and comes back and proposes to raise the height by a couple of feet, it would trigger renotice. In this case, obviously, all of the people that have received notice and are engaged are verien gauged in this process. The rest of the revisions are just at the discretion of the board. Im available for any questions you may have. Mr. Teague, what was the what is the max height they can go in comparison to where were at now . So i think well, as was mentioned during the permit holders presentation, the height district here its a 40 foot height district, but because its rh1 dd, you take a 45 angle from either the front Property Line or the front set back line, and that can go up to 35 feet, and then, it basically follows grade from there. If its an uphill or if its a fl
