So the responsiveness of their teams were amazing. I want to thank all of their teams because every week we had an issue, whether it was the veterinarian or people getting dirt in their driveway and couldnt park their car. Park driveway, this is all things that they really stepped up. I put 75k into budget so we could do a Pilot Programme called curb management. And this something i would think about because barbara, i dont know where barbara is from the neighborhood, she would tell me everyday when i walked by her house how we had people parking in her driveway or doubleparking to run in and get the ubers and stuff to get the food from the merchants. We said, how can we solve these issues . They said, parking is so horrible here. I heard that, no [ laughter ] with these parking, so really having to look at creatively looking at curb management, so were in the process of right now of actually having a Community Engagement of this curb management and how do we make it easier for people to park and easier for businesses to have people be able to come in and get what they need and get out so theyre not parked there for hours. How do we, you know, get the uber eats and all of the other deliveries, where they have a place to park and can get in and out so theyre not parking in barbaras driveway . So this is actually happening now and once again, the inner sunset park neighbor and merchants are at the tables saying well work with you and this is the only way i like to work because i came as a neighbor activist and i didnt like it when people did things in my naked an neighborhood andt when i walked out the door that it was done. So thank you to everyone for being here today. Im really excited for all of the work thats done. Its amazing. And should i bring up naomi . Naomi so now i would like to introduce naomi kelly, a city administrator. This was her baby to manage, all of the different people to make sure it was done right. And so naomi. Thank you. [cheers and applause] thank you, supervisor brown and mayor breed and director of public works. This project has more meaning to me because i live in the neighborhood. I spend so much time here on these corners, going to amazing fantasy with my kids, burn sf, jamba juice, you name it, so i live through the construction and understand the merchants and the pain you went through. But boy, did this turn out beautiful ive been to many scape improvements in different commercial corridor and i have to say these seats and planters are some of the best ive seen in all of San Francisco. So you all did a great job on that. [cheers and applause] again, i want to thank mohamed nurue and john thomas is completing this project because it was done on time. Public works delivers many Key Construction projects throughout the city and having it done on time so were not disrupting the merchants for longer than we should is very important. You heard this specific project was 21. 3 million and its connect the to residents and were more resilient. As chair of the tenyear capital plan committee, we have done a lot to make sure that we have coordinating our projects. It was putting in our new sewer lines and water line and thats important for someone who lives in this neighborhood because i can tell you where every sinkhole was. I was drawing diagrams and handing it to the sf puc saying these are the most important parts to touch in the sunset. Underground, weve put in more than 4,000 the mayor is right. That was the large effort budget item at 7. 3 million. , along for the water and sewer line to appreciate upgraded protection for this community in case of a potential earthquake. Also groun underground, we put n municipal fiber providing secure signals to this community. At the street level, pedestrian and muni riders will see improvements as you can see with the curb ramps and that was approximately 5. 7 million. But not just here in the inner sunset aisles, but public works have resurfaced 644 blocks across the city this year and we Work Together as one city, connected, and im pleased to introduce tom maguire, the interim director of transportation. [cheers and applause] its great to be here and celebrate the puc, public works, city administrator and the elected officials who helped get the funds together and get the wills together to make this happen and the street scape is basically but when i look at it, i dont just see beautiful planters and trees but safety. I see muni riders getting on and off trains going by and we see them getting off on a nice, safe sidewalk. Theyre not getting off into traffic like they do elsewhere in the city and this is the experience we want. We know this is the lifeline of the sunset, one of the busiest corridors and the streets in this area are some of the streets that are high injury vision zero and we want to make sure transit riders are safe, not just on their journey on the trains but when we get on and off on beautiful street scape. So thank you to the community for your patience as we have been working with our fell lets agenciefellowagencies to get thd thank you to everyone who fought for the funding and fought for the design to get this project done. Thank you. Now after listening to all of us, after im sure youre bored, i want to bring up andrea jabli to give her viewpoints of this project as a neighbor, thank you. To the people who live here and work here and the merchants who come here, we didnt just do this as a photoop. We did it because there are two important reason for people in this neighborhood to have this happening and one is the muni, the end juda will be faster. Youll get to work faster and home faster and anyone who does that everyday understands how important that is. Its also going to be safer for you. Now youre not going to be hit by cars trying to squeeze in between the boarding ramps. Most importantly, ninth avenue and irving is an intersection that is painful for people who walk around this neighborhood on a frequent basis. Youre sometimes stopped at a light for up to two and a half minutes while waiting for trains to come and go and bikes, muni, all that stuff. Now that the stops have been reconfigured so that the buses get through the light before they have to stop, that intersection will be so much more pleasant for all of us to experience. So thats why were here and why we did it and everyone who has put up with the noise and all of that, give yourself a round of applause. [cheers and applause] thank you, lets give the project is big hand. This is a great improvement. Our mayor is challenging us to continue do more projects like this and public works and the partnership with all of the agencies will continue to deliver for you. So with that said, we will cut the ribbon and so, where is the ribboncutting team here . We have behind us. And would the folks like martha, barbara and other Community Members feel free to come up and cut this rib bin. Ribbon. This is for your community and we want to make sure youre a part of it. Are we ready . Yes we sure . 543 youre not even counting. Are we ready . Yes clam 54321 thank you, supervisor vallie brown, ryan lamb, nopulo. Did i get it . And dean preston for attending tonights forum. Thanks to all of you also. Well start off with one minute Opening Statements in alphabetical order. Miscellaneous brown, tu may begin you may begin. Im vallie brown and the privilege of being your district 5 supervisor for this last year. For over 25 years, ive been your neighbor and ive been an activist. I have helped make sure that we keep a Neighborhood School open in the violence in this district. And also work to make vibrant and safe neighborhoods. Ive been sole endorsed by the San Francisco democratic party, San Francisco firefighters, s. C. I. Local, planned Parenthood League of conservative voters and many other committees and San Francisco political committee, too. And also state and local elected leaders. And since ive been in office, i have passed over 29 pieces of legislation. I fought to keep but we have so much more to do. We have to fix muni, we have to build more Affordable Housing and we also have to solve the homeless crisis. So thank you u. C. F. And the league of women voters for having us tonight. Okay. [applause] mr. Lamb. Hello. Hello. My name is ryan lamb. Im running for district 5 supervisor. A little bit about me. I emigrated to here in 2003. My professional history includes, i was a former political journalist, a High School Tutor and also a former businessman. And the reason im running today is for three points that im really, really passionate about. And thats maintaining the cleanliness and safety of district 5, having fixing our affordability crisis and i promise a decrease in homelessness. And fighting for local businesses to mr. A Strong Economy to build a Strong Economy, where the American Dream is a reality and its true. Thats me, ryan lamb. Thank you very much, mr. Lamb. Ms. Omara. Im go to try to be really quick. 60 seconds isnt really long to introduce yourself. But ready, set. So, hi, everyone. My name is nopulo omara. Im the mother of children, whom i have raised and coparented in San Francisco. This is my first neighborhood in sunset. I lived here for eight years and still know most of my neighbors. And tiff run into some of them, our children went to the same day ericas together, small village. I have a long history in this neighborhood. To be very quick, the reason why im running is because all of my children are millennials. They range in age from 11, 19, 23. The oldest being savannah, graduating in prelaw and computer science. When our children graduated, come out of school, they cant afford to pay the rent here. And its just not my children affected. Any child of college age, 18 years old or millennials cannot. Thats the main reason im running. Prioritize housing, expand housing. Improve the Performance Index in Public Schools. Thats just some of the matters. Thank you. Thank you very much. Mr. Preston. Thank you. Haney, everyone. Im dean preston. Im running for supervisor because the status quo in San Francisco is just not working. With the least affordable city in the entire country, with staggering inequality. And we are absolutely on the wrong track. District 5 deserves an independent leader with a track record of accomplishments, ready to take on the root causes of our problems. I have never been a city hall insider. Im a civil rights and tenant rights attorney. I founded the statewide tenant rights group, which led the fight to save rent control when it was under attack. Im a democratic socialist, who believes everyone deserves Affordable Housing, health care, fair wages and equal access to power. I have been on the frontlines fighting in district 5 for the last 20 years and my campaign is about taking bold steps, a Green New Deal for San Francisco, free Public Transit, a public bank to reinvest in our communities. And social housing to reverse displacement. We cannot afford the status quo. We need to rethink whats possible in our city. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. [applause] now were going to begin with the questions asked from the audience. The first question will be very good in giving us an idea of how you see or how you wish to approach the position of supervisor follow district 5. Could you tell us what specifically will you do to engage with district 5 residents, when it comes to quality of life issues like development, Public Transportation, homelessness, and public space. And the first ms. Brown, you get this question. I have done a lot in a year perform i have passed 29 pieces of legislation, housing. I actually legislated housing with 20 affordable. At the time that was the highest inclusionary housing in this city. I have also the Affordable Housing. So i identified public and private sites, so we can build 100 affordable. I also put 40 million with my colleagues supervisor fewer to buy buildings, that people were being evicted. We bought a building on shader, all seven units, everybody was saved. To these are some of the things ive been doing. Rivals been working on homeless. I navigated the first center for vehicles. We know thats our biggest increase in homeless. I actually today cut a ribbon at st. Marks church to make it actually its a resting place for homeless to go in the daytime. So theres many things that i could do. But the minutes to tell you the minute is too short. Thank you. Mr. Lamb. One thing i take pride in is transparency. You can access my teams number, my email. All of my policies and when it comes to affordability, homelessness, me personally i was formerly homeless in 2017. Im the only candidate with a wellrounded knowledge of homelessness crisis thats gone up for what is it eight years straight. In my campaign i promise a decrease in homelessness. When it comes to Affordable Housing, i want to build 100 plus units in district 5. Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much. Ms. Omara. If you could go over the question again. I wanted to make sure i understand every point. What specifically will you do to engage with district 5 residents, when it comes to quality of life issues like development, Public Transportation, homelessness and public space. Okay. Perfect. First of all, i just warranted to make it very clear that im in disagreement with ryan when he says he knows homelessness from firsthand experience. I didnt share this as part of my bio. But its in the department of elections bio that ive let everybody know is that i did actually experience homelessness. And that was after living i lived in the inner sunset, a few blocks down from here for about eight years. I experienced homelessness for a year, with three young children, by the way. And i was actually doing my masters at the same time, with a newborn baby. So im very, very familiar with that. Not only that, i also worked as a case manager in the city in dual diogenes programs. How to tackle the problem of homelessness, well, expand housing for one. Have better renters rights, create better renters rights, such as the work dean worked on with prop c. Youre going to have better quality of life if you restrict landlords, especially corporate landlords in terms of gouging. Sorry. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Mr. Preston. Thank you, well, in terms of engaging neighbors, well continue doing what weve been doing. Our campaign has knocked on thousands of doors, talked to many of you about the issues that matter most in the district. And, you know, what were hearing is that people are fed up with a city with a 12 billion budget and cannot seem to meet the basic needs of what folks in the district want, Affordable Housing, to be able to get on a bus without being so crowded that you cant get on. And to have basic quality of life. Most of these problems are caused because someone is getting rich off of these problems. We have dysfunctional Public Transit in part, because of private companies that are privatizing our Public Transportation system. We have unAffordable Housing because a small handful of Corporation Investors are making money, by making housing unaffordable. To the folks in this room, the people who live in the district. Well continue to take those folks on, to make this a liveable city. Thank you very much. Im sorry. If im looking kind of befuddled up here, its because this thing keeps going down. [laughter] and i dont know exactly why. Okay. But im going to continue. Okay. Well cull come up to question two for mr. Lamb. I believe that we should stay on the issue of housing in district 5. Do you believe, and if you do believe, how what ideas do you have for speeding up the permitting process for creating more housing in our district . Okay. One thing about building housing, i think it should be based on supply and demand. We have candidates on the stage that just want to build as much Public Housing and Affordable Housing as we can. Some people actually suffer from that. I think its more about planning and taking the time to plan, to make sure that this Affordable Housing is going to be good for district 5. I mean, if you look at the 350 building project. I know vallie has reached out to them. We have to build so much we have to build more Affordable Housing right in front of their front yard, by cutting the trees and building more units. I think its more about planning and making sure we have enough Affordable Housing, based on supply and demand in district 5. Thank you very much. Ms. Omara . Well, i think the amount of housing in San Francisco far heds the supply. Theres deaf huge kha chasm. The millennials between ages 18 and 25 are the ones most affected by it. And thats important to consider. And thats not to disclude seniors. So what my suggestions are, prioritize housing and expand it reintroduce certificates of housing for formerly marginalized communities like africanamericans and brown in the fillmore district or hunters point. Really protect our renters and tenants right will go a long way, by repealing hawkins, for instance. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Preston, how would you speed up the permitting process . Would you speed up the permitting process for housing . And hopefully create more housing and also protect existing houseing. For Affordable Housing, sure. And i think we need to distinguish between Affordable Housing and marketrate housing. Marketrate housing is in San Francisco to
