SFGTV Government Access Programming July 13, 2024

Required for determination by the department of health, than the process must be followed by its two rules. One, it is not preemptive. Second, it is not condition. Therefore, there are no conditions restraining its action. It is there for the sole purpose to protect society from abuse, danger, or harm, the e. P. A. , the f. D. A. , c. D. C. , the courts, consider wifi a pollutant. Inappropriately, electrical and he wi electronic engineers measure harm. They do not measure the body or cells. They do not measure exposure over time. Scientific authorities recognize the danger and state it must be reduced a thousand fold and would still be able to enable communication. San francisco in its wisdom passed a precautionary principle and can now mandate and enact it, allowing policy to catch up with science to protect us, the residents of San Francisco. 5g is not tested, even under specific absorption rates. So much of it goes on. Im sure therell be another hearing which im sure youll allow us to stay more. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon good evening, president yee and supervisors. I want to show a picture of my mother again, meter maid, grace murray, checker 111 back from 1975. I remember shed work hard. Nobodys perfect. She gave my father a ticket once, out at fishermans wharf. She signed it with love. She gave George Moscone a ticket at west portal. He was having an ice cream. Ive got it on my wall. I told Kriss Moss Tony about it, too. Im going to ask him if he mentioned it when he came home. So i hope youre protecting yourselves from an earthquake because it shake, city, shake. Shake, city, shake. In case theres a shake, city, shake, in case theres a shake, rattle, and roll, i said shake, rattle, and roll, youve got to do something to save yourself from an earthquake, your soul. And cheers. Heres a meteorite. They also say it could hit us, but its a graphic right here. Its a very slim chance, but it brings me to my Public Comment. If i were the mayor of San Francisco, id sure let you know id hold a meeting that i did all cause im stone in love with you. I did it all cause im stone in love with you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Next speaker. Good evening, supervisors. Im leslie, and im from district three or i reside in district three. The implementation of 5g Technology Demands mass coverage throughout the city with wireless antennas. Current nonindustry funded scientific studies absolutely show harm, biological harm from electromagnetic microwave radiation, which is wireless. The roll out of 5g is in opposition to San Franciscos precautionary principle. 5g is harmful. The public must be allowed to continue to speak about any proposed site for antenna installations. Please rescind ordinance 19019. There are cities in europe which are ae posing 5g, and if you would please keep in mind that the f. C. C. Is an industry f. C. C. Is an agency thats protected by industry. So please, protect the city, not the industry. Thank you so much. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. I am speaking on behalf of the taxi medallion holders. [inaudible] and San Francisco City Government functional hierarchy, enabled lyft to destroy taxi business. [inaudible] we have dedicated 25 years to San Francisco public. You never allowed us work without medallions. More than 700 taxi medallion owner families turned into poverty by San Francisco City Government. We did not choose to buy it. S. F. Forced us to buy. [inaudible] we are trying to kill two birds with one stone, like their job securities and products on the fronts. Without funding money to us. But these arent our concern. Our concern is we want our money back. Our taxi business is down to 10 . We have no equal rights, something that is irregular, dishonest, conducted and never made corrections. Why are you enforcing medallion loans . It is extortion [inaudible] no make your decision and notify us of our specific times of our money [inaudible] thank you. President yee next speaker. Good afternoon. We came here at 2 00. Now its at 5 00 p. M. No, 7 00, 7 10 and almost five hours, and i dont think im going to make any money today. But my expenses are still there. Its 100. 45 was the cab company. They are not serving anything for me today, but i still owe them 45 today. Bank gave me 250,000. I have to pay them 50 a day. But i request that you can smash the 45 i am paying on a daily basis. 20 goes to insurance, and thats fine, but the 20 to the cab company, what do they do for me . I look for my customers on the street, fishermans wharf, or the airport. I wish that you would take that burden off of my back. You can do that. You are most intelligent people of San Francisco. You are dancing the city on your fingertips, and we hope that you can do the same thing to the sfmta. Make them dance on your fingertips. Give us our money make and find some other birds so you can give us our blood. Let us go, pay us 250, and grab your new birds. Thank you very much. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good evening, sir. My name is hachi, and i drive taxi cab since 1992, and i was living in sacramento, and i have i lose my business standing, but i have to still drive. Im not able to drive taxi anymore in the city of San Francisco. Sfmta, they promised to take medallion back. Theyre going to give us our money back when were not able to drive, and i dont know how long they have to punish to us. Thank you very much. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is robert johnstone. Im here to express my opposition to your recent 5g lemgs latio legislation, but i would also like to voice my support for the taxi drivers. It sounds like they got a bum deal. So i appreciate supervisor mar and supervisor peskin and supervisor mandelman for asking for new hearings. I will skip over my part of the statement about your betrayal of public trust, but for those of you who have tenants in your district, i want to tell you just what a bad actor verizon has been for years. Verizon has never wittingly noticed a single tenant pursuant to article 25 ever. They claimed ridiculously that your legislation claimed they could notify owners or tenants but not both. The City Attorney was aware of this, or at least the deputy City Attorney was. I imagine the d. P. W. Was, as well. To me, this just encapsulates whats been wrong with this system. Your recent legislation made this worse, so i hop you can make this better. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good evening, supervisors. Audrey rume with new neighborhood council. Ill be brief. I just want to point out the San Franciscos ordinance on precautionary principle and urge you to stop implementing this technology until we know better. Heres what the precautionary principle of San Franciscos precaution principle states. Where sets up irreversible damage to people or life exists, damage or certainty to cause and effect hadshall not used [inaudible] so if this is a technology that we know so very little about and implementing it in a city of 800,000 over 800,000 people could be catastrophic. So its not too much to ask you to stop implementation until we have that data that tells us the health of the residents. And also, like the previous driv speaker, i think its reasonable to pay the taxi drivers back the medallion many. I think in a city with 12 billion budget, we can afford to do something for these folks. Good evening, supervisors. I urge you to proceed with caution and not rush into implement 5g. Many Northern California cities have taken steps to protect their residents with respect to the objective standards public works is proposing. The objective standards will lead to a proliferation of 4 and 5g cell an tents with up to five antennas per pole and bulky boxes everywhere. In addition, fiberoptic wiring can go to homes and businesses instead of antennas and facilities of 4 and 5g. Rushing to promote 5g standards will result in the loss of local government control, insight, and will have direct environmental impact. Cities have traditionally negotiated with providers on issues like location, appearance, and size of wireless structures. These bills severely limit the ability of cities to ensure that infrastructure suits the neighborhood around it and the ability of cities to decide whether or not to allow private use of public property at all. The f. C. C. S order requiring fixed rental rates for municip municipally owned poles and rightofway forces taxpayers to subsidize private commercial development and violates the fifth and tenth amendment. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. Im sarah, a teacher at School District unified School District. We are concerned that antennas will be located as close as 6 feet from a bedroom window. The process requires our city officials to not knowingly put the residents in harms way. San francisco has flagrantly failed to enact its ordinance by allowing scientifically tested cell phone tours and antennas with clear evidence of d. N. A. Damage and cancer. It was yesterday published, showing a definite increase in d. N. A. Damage, such as the small cells that the ordinance would be putting in front of childrens high schools. Lowell high school already has a small cell in front of it where parents pick up their children. One of my students waits underneath that cell tower every day and it just breaks my heart because this is an unknown, untested thing, personal wireless facility. They didnt even know what it was. So San Francisco should be leading the way. So im going to ely marks from the California Brain Tumor Association mentioned sacramento. She has a letter to you. She wrote small cells have been activated in areas of San Francisco and los angeles president yee thank you. Next speaker. Hi. Before i start, i just wanted to voice my support for the taxi drivers. I understand its a very complex problem, and theres not a clear solution yet, but its something that should be given a lot of attention. That said, my name is ryan and im a thirdyear student at the university of San Francisco. As future health care providers, we understand the great gap in care for those affected by Mental Health disorders. Wed like to acknowledge and support the efforts of budget and finance committee for the Mental Health program. In addition were in support of sb 1045 which provides additional Mental Health services to San Franciscos health population. However we would like to advocate for greater expansion for efforts to all members of the community. In addition, utilization and out come studies must be conducted in order to determine additional unmet needs. Our San Francisco community is incredibly diverse. This form of response can be valuable at increasing the overall productivity and affected life of individuals. The consequences affect not only the patient but the community as a whole. Thank you so much for your time as well as the opportunity to comment on this unmet need. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is kieran jackson. Im a biology student at San Francisco state university. Im here to talk about the 5g cell phone tower ordinance . Theres not a lot i can say that hasnt been already said, but a fun fact or not so fun fact about the cell towers. Recent Health Studies from kaiser have revealed that exposure to Magnetic Fields in women have resulted in an in in pregnant women have resulted in an increased health risk. Were experiencing a lot of detrimental environmental effects that are not due to the cause of this generation and its kind of been dumped on us from the previous generation . And i dont think that its fair to do that and contribute to that with the 5g cell phone towers for our babies in the future. Thank you so much for your time. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hi. I just wanted to talk about my personal experience with electromagnetic radiation. Im an engineer. I moved to San Francisco three years ago. I started getting headaches, i started getting multiple headaches a few times a day. I lost hair and lost weight, and i didnt know what was happened. I happened to hear from a podcast at that time about e. M f. I also had arthritis in every joint of my body. I never got tired, but when i fell asleep, i would wake up with arthritis and hangover headache although ive never drank the night before. All this stuff went away when i turned the power off in my room, so ive become an avid activist as much as i can for e. M. F. S. And its not that it hasnt been studies, theres thousands of studies showing effects. Theres d. N. A. Damage, neurodegeneration, lower sperm count, causes cancers, insomnia, headaches, depression, fatigue. Ive experienced a lot of these things, and i have to live in San Francisco. I have to commute on b. A. R. T. , and i do it while watching people watching videos on their cell phones, and i dont think i will be able to do that if its 5g. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good evening, supervisors. You know, have you thought about the safety hazard thats created by this Medallion Program . Were all working long hours, doing anything to meet our goal just to break even. Its pretty disgusting. Really disgusting. Down right pathetic. The profit margin is pathetically low, and this medallion is not even worth 125,000 and were paying 250,000 plus interest. Pretty terrible. You know, as far as im concerned, the m. T. A. Ended this Sales Program a long time ago when they chose not to lower the price and reimburse us the difference. This program has been dead for a long time. Its time to keep up your end of the bargain, and i say your because you guys are the city, and you guys are hand in hand with the m. T. A. In one way or the other. Dont blow smoke up our you know what. Please. Im sick of it. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good evening. My name is marcelo fonseca. Ive been a fulltime taxi driver for 31 years. I take a lot of pride in what i do for a living. The rise of the medallion and ride share such as uber and lyft has brought great financial hardships to taxi drivers. Medallions acquired through the waiting list are forced to drive until they drop dead, and medallions acquired through the medallion Sales Program are trapped with unpayable loans. Late mayor lee and the m. T. A. Had to know that uber and lyft posed a great threat to all medallion holders in the taxi industry as a whole, and yet they carried out the program masterminded by gavin newsom. They made millions of dollars on the backs of drivers at the same time they welcomed unfair competition. We would not be here all these years if it was not for the investment we made in the medallion system. Our careers and lives are being destroyed. The m. T. A. And the city of San Francisco have failed us. So the city of San Francisco and the m. T. A. Have a moral, ethical, and very possibly a legal obligation to bail out the taxi industry. I hope this board will look into this matter sooner rather than later. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is carolyn kahn. I live in potrero hill in San Francisco, and i wont take a long time. I think youve heard a lot of eloquent statements with many facts. I happen to be a ph. D. Cell biologist. Im not going to go into it. Youll hear the facts at the next meeting. Im very proud to live in San Francisco and i support the liberal policies in this city. And im having a hard time understanding why just some of these cities have already not supported 5g and are protecting their citizens and among them are berkeley, piedmont, monterey county, lot altos, sabastopo sebastopol, and the list goes on. I think this is just an issue of greed. I think that, you know, many of us have cell phones. I havent been anywhere in this city where ive not been able to use my cell phone, and i dont see the need for 5g at all. I dont know that we canty it out, but i think you should really seriously consider the implications. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Oh, i enjoyed the obvious portability of the obvious pop up clinic proposed by supervisor mandelman, particularly if it operates throughout the night. The 129 rescue wing of the California Air National Guard is based at moffat field. Im wondering if and also whether theres an understanding with the News Agencies as regards where they might be permitted or restricted from operating helicopters following a substantial earthquake or fire, and also have valves and certain specified pump stations been auto mated as recommended in a 2014 awss report produced by acom. Theyve estimated that property insurance homeowners might decline by 34 million annually, and collectively if you carried out all of their recommendations and lobbied for them alongside interest groups. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, dear member supervisors. I did google for what were going to be using tonight. I found one, were hungry, thats correct. Everybodys hungry. Were out here five hours. You, me, everybodys hungry. But the second work, m. T. A. Promised along with San Francisco credit union, were going to help you make money when many of us are taxi drivers supposed to have our free medallion. I found the Pilot Program. Mr. Lee, mr. All the member of this staff, sfmta, go i
