Board Chamber
mayor lee. Id like to ask if youd like to share any opening remarks to us. Thank you. Happy holidays to you and all the members of the board day. Im looking forward to working with all of you through 2015 to advance our goals of making our city a place where families thrive and we can share the prosperity of our great city. Lets take a moment to acknowledge what weve accomplished in 2014 by working together. Thanks to the voters for making
San Francisco
by making it more affordable to our families with an increased minimum wage. Were continuing record investments in our
Public Schools
and thanks to sound economic and fiscal constraint, economic policies. Ive asked for no cuts in my annual budget for the first time in years. That does not mean its time to sit back and ive charged my departments to do more for our residents and to prepare for a growing city. Id like to send out a reminder that during the holidays and all year round our social
Service Providers
need your support and during this time of the year they are distributing food and toys and lending a hand to those who need it the most. Lets goo to the questions. Thank you. For your first question we have supervisor mar. Thank you madam president and mayor lee for being here with us and happy holidays as well. A recent story written by tim redman is with us by the chambers found that 39 of the condos built since 2000 have absentee owners in in
San Francisco
and for newer owners that number is 50 or above. Luxury developments like the four seasons residents have more than 60
Properties Housing
prices skyrocket beyond the reach of residents making the cost of living unaffordable for even middle income people. Not only are these wealthy absentee buyers buying up all the residents also constrict the spliez of housing available, to meet the high demand of our citys growing work force. And as we know, one new supply available for residents. The
San Francisco
Business Times
reported last year, quotes with a medium home price of 706,300 in
San Francisco
, someone meeting the
Median Income
of 72,000 makes 48 less money than they need to afford a median priced home. This sort of homeowner absenteeism is bad for neighborhoods and leads to the fe no, maam fe phenomena of what some people call zombie neighborhoods. New york state senator who represents part of manhattan has announced his intention to introduce a bill that would place a property tax surcharge on luxury home on new york city residents. This would address a problem that arises when a significant number of homes are bought by with wealthy out of towners for place to stay on occasion or as an investment or hedge on mar coat swings. Im beginning to research this critical problem of newly built housing that is unoccupied. Can i could count on your support this . I agree with you that preserving neighborhoods is a very high priority. We helped advance this priority with the passage of the
Housing Trust
fund when we included funding for low and income residents remain in their homes. And last we worked hard at the state level. As you pointed out in your question, neighborhoods are about more than just housing. Vibrant neighborhoods have active streets, busy local shops, parks, schools, libraries, filled with families. The the city as a whole and neighborhoods in particular are not well served if were building homes that will be left vacant. As far as a tax we need to do some
Legal Research
into what we can and cannot do. As you know, supervisor, californias team makes this a tricky legal question. In principal i can tell you i believe in minimizing absenteeism for new construction. We want residents of our city to be connected to the neighborhoods in which they live. If people are buying housing and not living in them then we have a problem. Supervisor, we also have a problem with what i understand to be thousands of units that are deliberately left vacant throughout many neighborhoods in the city. We need to study that as well. Specifically, the problem is a lack of engagement with
Small Businesses
and community institutions. The problem is also
Housing Price
inflation. As you know, ive made a very public commitment to construct and new units without providing the benefits associated with being a resident and helping to activate our neighborhood commercial be corridors and making
San Francisco
a more vibrant place to live, that rings true if
Property Owners
are keeping units throughout any part of our city. I want to make sure
San Francisco
neighborhoods remain vibrant and unique. Thank youm. Our next question is from supervisor avalos. Mr. Mayor, first off, happy holidays do you and your family. I was pleased to read about your expressing outrage about the use of torture by the cia last week and i have no doubt thats your position on torture. What is your extent of outrage at the affordability crisis thats harming working families in
San Francisco
. What else can you do to make a measurable impact on the
Affordable Housing
krief sis. What are some proposals we can collaborate on with you in your office of housing . Thank you for that question, supervisor avalos. And of course we must address the
Housing Affordability
crisis. Im committed to use every tool to make
San Francisco
more affordable, not only increasing
Affordable Housing
, but stabilizing our neighborhoods, bidding on our commitment to rebuild
Public Housing
and be creative and strategic in finding new funding. Low income families are priced out of the market rate rentals and middle class families are also struggling. Of the area
Median Income
, thats about 116 annually for a family of four. Wech need to protect our existing naturally
Affordable Housing
stock and prevent real estate speculators from dispensing our friends and neighbors. We need to build more
Affordable Housing
and retain or citys economic diversety with providing
Work Force Housing
and we need to rehabilitate
Public Housing
for our residents. We need no look beyond our traditional tools that have served us in the past. The working group included more than 100 stakeholders from housing advocates to non profits, market redevelopers,
Financial Experts
and city staff. This group has recommended ways to preserve affordable for renters susceptible to market pressures. We must have more funding for
Affordable Housing
enabling a winder band to benefit that housing, encourage
Market Rate Developers
to provide below market rate units in that projects. How do we do this . We take all the creative thinking that went into the recommendations of the working group and we act on them. First we pursue together legislative solutions immediately and just last week i announced the public lands for
Housing Program
to make public land available for low income and moderate income
San Francisco
citizens. We can carry this out by implementing proposition k which was overwhelmingly supported by
San Francisco
citizens in the november election. Iz want to emphasize that there is no single solution to the affordability crisis. In order to execute these solution e well need to show the world we can
Work Together
legislatively and
Work Together
. Well take that action and cant do this alone. We need our regional colleagues to increase their efforts to produce
Affordable Housing
as well and will continue to advocate to our state and federal partners to direct funding to our key priorities. I have want to thank you for this question. I look forward to working directly with you and specificly on sites in your district that we can build more
Affordable Housing
and rehab as well. Thank you supervisor. Thank you mayor lee. That concludes or policy discussions with the mayor. Madam clerk, we now go to our consent agenda.

I dont know if i want to be able to continue to just do the the regular work im doing without asking for more of them so i wanted to acknowledge that before voting in favor of this measure and hopefully ill continue that conversation with the puc staff as well about my concerns about our ability to move our joint
Climate Change
