it was time to bring the city back that i remember from 20 years ago, the city that i fell in love with, which is what les trois chevaux is. [upbeat music] johnny devenanzio: what was the inspiration behind kokomo? we actually met in a restaurant that i used to work at. it was a caribbean restaurant and he was a guest chef there. we fell in love, really quick got married in under eight months. - you work fast, my friend. - yeah. yeah. [laughing] so it made sense for us to just open up our own establishment and make it caribbean and let it explore the love for each other as well as the love for the islands that we have. johnny devenanzio: what a beautiful story. you're both first time restaurateurs? yes. not only did we open a restaurant in the pandemic, ria was pregnant. we had one child already and just her enduring through that inspired me as a man to work harder and to be better. it literally hit probably three weeks before we were about to open. so at that point, we had invested everything into it. oh, man. yeah, that's scary. was scary as hell. yeah. table two. [interposing voices]

mayor of this city, the chief executive of the city, the leader of the city to also do the little things that maybe aren't considered broad vision or big goals or fancy. we need to fill potholes, we need to repair sidewalks. we need to make sure the trash gets picked up and the lights get turned on every single evening. that we are fulfilling not just the basic city services, which lead to a high quality of life in this city, but that we are responding quickly in doing that work. it's not fancy, but it's important. moderator: briefly, please. >> each one of our plans that we've put out comes from the little details that are affecting people's lives and that are stressing boston residents across the city. when i talk about a boston green new deal, that means doubling the number of street trees in boston so that we are providing temperatures that are livable, that we are cleaning the air. when i talk about a green new deal, it's shifting to electric school buses to get diesel pollution out of the lungs of our young people in our neighborhoods. this is about the day to day that we can only

the city. all the issues we faced before the pandemic continues. one of the biggest issues has everything to do with housing and affordability. when i talk about housing and how important it is to move forward, it has everything to do with growing up in san francisco and watching it become less and less affordable. watching friend and family move out of san francisco. people making decisions about whether or not to have children because of affordability. when i think about my life in san francisco, there were challenges and this is an amazing city and there is no other place i would rather be than in san francisco. but also i want to make sure that we are sharing in those opportunities. i talked to so many people in this community in particular and the conversation i have with them when i was first running for mayor, scott weaner has this bill that i think most people on the west side was completely adamantly opposed to and the conversation i would constantly have is how long have you been here

the city of san jose city leaders are expected to approve plans to build the city's 5th emergency interim housing community 76 new housing units will be built in the overflow parking lot of the san jose police department administration building. it's on west mission street airport. the project is expected to break ground. this fall and construction will take about 6 months. san jose mayor sam liccardo says this type of emergency housing is accelerating the city's response to its homeless problem. >> we have the opportunity to be able to build housing that will get on house residents off the streets faster. we can build these units much faster than we can do it much more cost effectively than we've ever done before. >> san jose's emergency housing plan is part of a larger goal to find permanent shelter for 20,000 homeless people and double the city shelter capacity by 2025. new for you this morning. the latest mask mandate is extended the city council voted unanimously to extend the mandate in a special meeting last night. the original measuretwas passed at the end of august. but needed a

who made the call? the mayor? the city council? the city council and the mayor. young, creative people like sinisa are doing their own thing, navigating the city's somewhat inadequate planning. the denial art gallery, for example, invited artists to paint murals in an alleyway, hoping to give a new life to a derelict place. and hey! now, it's covered with works by artists from around the world. business owners here have even made their own tv ad to attract young professionals to the city. we're doing basically guerilla branding for the city. we're just kind of seeing what is here and what it can be and unapologetically going for it. we're at a definite crossroads right now and i think it's really important that the next generation, that we don't test their patience and that we give them this sort of platform to test these ideas and go forward. just a few kilometers from the city center, the neighborhood of ford city is experiencing an unexpected renaissance. this once industrial district was established by the ford motor company in the early 1900s. it thrived for

here's a live look at the city tonight where more than 3,500 people helped the city with the city energy challenge. the company announced the news with the mayor. the challenge launched back in may as a friendly competition between oakland, fresno, san jose and bakersfield. each city raced to recruit energy savers to help prevent blackouts. san jose won after signing up the most users. >> we know we've had a lot of challenges with power shutoffs throughout the state of california. this is a great solution. for helping us all save energy at just the right moment when we critically need it to be able to reduce the stress on the grid. >> the announcement comes with a nice reward, $50,000. the money will go to san jose aspires, which helps low-income students pay for college. >>> it's a really good bakery. they are taking up residence on the peninsula. man resa is opening a location in palo al to. it is owned by the same pair that owns the manresa restaurant in los gatos. the new bakery will be located in a prime spot right across from palley high school and stanford stadium. >> you're the c

the city? is that -- of the planning department or is that just a reference to some of the referenced literature? >> president walton: thank you so much, supervisor preston. planning? >> yes, supervisor preston, through the chair, jessica rage, planning department staff. what we have summarized is the result of a project specific analysis that was conducted on potential socioeconomic effects that could result from the proposed project. during the draft e.i.r., we received comments and concerns that this project would result in gentrification and displacement, and based on those comments, we went ahead and had a project specific analysis conducted that looked at rent in the area as well as summarized the literature, the more recent literature on this topic. and one thing to note is that socioeconomic impacts in and of themselves are not requirements under ceqa. so what we looked at is whether or not there could be physical secondary impacts as a result of physical gentrification caused by the pr

in the city. we're asking for an amendment so this legislation would expand the radius to 1.5 miles to include more of district 2 especially in the lombard area and ihave , i believeeverybody has that amendment . by way of background the geary masonic special used district was adopted in 2016 to facilitate the redevelopment of the lucky penny restaurant which supervisor peskin referred to as the copper penny before it was the lucky penny and it was to allow a mixed-us development project with retail and housing including on-site below-market rate units . the special used district was amended in spring of 2020 to allow either inclusion of on-site below-market rate units or payment asan inclusionary housing the . and the developer has opted to pay the inclusionary housing fee. other comments then, it was said back then i committed to pursuing the legislation before you today to ensure that the inclusionary housing fee would be used for a project in close proximity to the lucky penny project in distr

how do you feel about the city? does it feel like it's on its death row or the opposite bias in the bottle? i don't know why it's developing not to face the district has been rebuilt completely, that we can see all the new house it's. it's a new power plant was built on and you church has been black. so there is live in connecticut. yes, of course. there is one particular project that breathed new life into the city and how did to move on from the devastation of the 19 ninety's baby i currently put itself on the map as a side of a daunting experiment. it's the 1st city in the world that lives off a floating nuclear power plant. seriously, this huge thing you see right there is basically a c platform would to submarine style atomic reactors on it. no one has ever done this before. the power plant named academic la monassa, was assembled in st. petersburg and then moved to pivot by c, turned out to be way cheaper and easier. and then bringing thousands of constrain workers, tons of materials to remote region like chic

love and hate about the city. apparently, store prices are a heated topic and driven in like that. his diary, sometimes when i'm in the shop, i look at some items and i think if i can afford them or not yet, although i really want them. but i rarely buy cheese ish because it costs a 101200 repulsion rarely by hand because i was also real expensive. what did you eat for dinner yesterday? yeah, i don't have deer. i'm on the diet. the next rated among russia's most expensive cities, which makes sense because 90 percent of goods are shipped from mainland russia. things like food, household items, and clothes cost way more than say moscow. just look at the price decks here. cucumber. 11 us dollars per kilo tomato, $11.00 per kilo, and the urgent sta, 2 tomatoes left to in the tire shop. how this one garlic 15 us dollars per kilogram, is just for maybe 5 times more than sane masika where i live. and that's one of my favorite, it saw green onions, 16 west dollars per one piece. busy busy insane with here in the know thro

the county and city of san francisco will provide $83,019 in funds to the city for the patient care fund which is an invaluable resource for the residents to enhance their ability to provide patient care. san francisco general will not provide funding for this fiscal year. this provides interns and residents additional resources patient materials or educational supplies or to support initiatives to increase the efficiency of the hospital and the quality it provides. and, lastly, the clerical efforts have been updated. >> chairman: thank you, mr. wright. and i just want to say during this time, very receptive to anything that provides additional support for all of 0 our front line health care workers and that includes the interns and residents that are impacted by this. colleagues, before we go to public comment, any questions or comments? seeing none. let's see if we have any public comment. >> clerk: if you wish to speak on this ordinance, please call in now by following the instructions on your screen by dialling (415) 655-0001. the meeting id for today's meeting is 24842634825. press

we compiled information delivered by the city and funded by the city and we developed two steady exercises based on the recent hate incidents. in our neighborhoods, we help city staff to collect where our responses are falling short of community needs. we also did interviews for city staff together to gather the individual perspectives on when the gaps may be in our services and processes. in addition to the information that the city provide, we conducted interviews and panel discussions with community organizations and residents, just around their experiences accessing city-funded violence prevention and services. and last month we followed up on this to discuss what potential elements will be for broader citywide violence prevention work. in our findings, hundreds of programs, as i'm sure you know, are funded and delivered across the city. but they have very different frameworks for understanding and addressing hate violence. the departments gave us these lists of several hundred programs that they deliver either directly or through funds from community organizations. but across, and som

the cost of doing business, the ability to find a storefront and go through the city's bureaucratic process to get open in the first place has changed our city as we know it. often times during the spring time, we're celebrating small businesses in san francisco but we need to do a better job of putting our money where our mouth is when we talk about supporting small businesses. i still go to the same dry cleaner i have been going to since i was a kid. i still go to the same dentist i have been going to since i've had teeth, i go to the same place to get my nails done when i can afford to get them done. it is an important part of the spirit of san francisco, we love our neighborhood shops and restaurants and businesses and we want to do everything we can to support them and this pandemic has made life very challenging. i remember walking around in the castro, there are a lot of businesses i frequent because they're close to where i live. one day i was walking and i noticed something different. there were a lot of windows that were broken. i was devastated, but i was so angry. i thought now

however, the restrictive sources by making gifts through the city department that end up with the city officials effectively achieve the same outcome. and the same can be said when the funding for the gifts goes to a nonentity such as a sub group or nonprofit. they're paid for by the restricted source going to city officials and this is often done with the coordination or approval of the department. these practices, similar to what we discussed about dpw undermind the restricted source rule. they create the danger in the appearance in the eyes of the public. i do want to call out as we mentioned several times in the report that the report does not include that these practices constitute a violation of existing law. rather what we're trying to do is understand empirically what existing practices are and to what extent they do or don't embody current laws. rather they do not properly achieve ethics goal and that ultimately, the law should be reformed in ways that makes sure that these practices don't occur. i also want to pount out that each of the practices that we talk about in the rep

city has had the same interpretation of the city staff and we didn't know. and suddenly we had a situation where apparently the city staff and the contractor had different interpretations of what the speck meant. >> supervisor mandelman: okay. thank you. so my last question is around finding f-13 and that is the one that states that a lack of an in the field point of contact between walsh and the city during the early stages of construction led to delays and increased costs in the project. there seems to be a factual disagreement between the m.t.a. and the grand jury about whether there was not an in the field point of contact between walsh and the city. is that right? >> yeah. this is a special agreement. i would agree with that, supervisor. we have a resident engineer who's on the street, on the project site every single day who's available to walsh and has been since the beginning of the project. i think walsh wasn't always -- no contractor is happy from every decision from the resident engineer, that's the nature of the construction, but just because the

i take lots of pride in serving the community and the city. as a result i am asking to be able to continue my seat on board 2. thank you. >> chair: thank you so much, ms. mendoza. mr. wilson. >> hi. mark wilson. you have my resume. i'm applying for board 2. i spent 35 years as a real estate broker, representing buyers and sellers of apartment buildings. i owned an apartment building management company that managed 500 units for 35 years, and i have been buying and managing my own buildings during this time. i'm a past president of the san francisco apartment association. i was on the board there for 15 years. i provide expert testimony, expert witness testimony, in property disputes and housing provider tenant litigation, that kind of stuff. and i'm looking forward to doing some quality volunteer work. >> chair: thank you, mr. wilson. and are there any members of the public comment for this item number 4 who would like to make public comment? >> clerk: there are no speakers, mr. chair. >> chair: all right. public comment is closed. and thank y

in that complaint, the city is asking the court to intervene. specifically, the city wants the fop and its members to stop from engaging into work stoppage or strike. this is all in response to the city wide vaccination policy for city workers. starting today, all city workers must disclose their vaccination status. if they don't disclose their status, they will be placed on unpaid leave. also, folks who are not fully vaccinated will be required to undergo covid testing twice a week, and those tests must be separated by three to four days. now, as you noted, the fop president has been pushing back and warned at least 50% of its membership will not comply with this policy. listen in to what the mayor had to say, followed by his response to the mayor. >> what we've seen from the fraternal order of police in particular leadership, a lot of misinformation, a lot of flat truths and flat lies in order to induce an insurrection and we're not having that, and so we want to make it very very clear that the law's on our side. i feel very confident about i

turned over to the city. can you delve into that? >> i can give a brief summary. we do contract with the city andreceived funding from other sources to plant new trees . once those trees are planted they are added to our list and friends of the urban forest for regular watering and care. we have teams that go out and regularly waterthe trees that we planted . that check in and care for those trees through the establishment period which is free to five years and we do water and try to care for all of the trees that we plant but noting that there are other trees that the bureau of forestry plants themselves and other agency plants that are not on our care and watering schedule. >> at the end of that 3 to 5 year period, more importantly because i've now found instances of the department of public works saying this is not a pop tree, we're watering it, there watering it .i'm all about transparency where somebody can go to a website or go to some documents and figure out what is under your jurisdiction and when it

of the city? please put the triage center in the part of the city that can absorb it. also, i don't hear any part of the city addressing the needs of the park. i'm disappointed to hear that you're going to approve this without wanting any funding that goes to fixing at least minimally the fence of the express highway. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> hi. i think that i might be next. i want to appreciate the kind of problem that we're trying to solve here, but i have considerable concerns about the location that's being chosen as somebody who uses candlestick park every day. that area has significantly deteriorated over the course of the last couple of years, but so has the bayview neighborhood in general? so it's a little unclear what this is going to do to address the r.v. encampments around the bayview. it's unclear -- i want to enforce what the previous speaker said, what it's going to do to address the bigger issues around gilman. this is one of the most isolate

that the city can provide. i want to thank all of you for your support and especially co-sponsor supervisors mandelman and ronen for supporting this historic landmarking, the planning mission, the lgbt culture district and current owner and historian who have documented the rich leather in lgbt history in san francisco including gale raw ben -- ruben and s.f. city planners. i want to thank my staff who worked on this diligently to make sure this important part of our history and lgbt history is preserved for generations to come. >> president walton: thank you supervisor haney. supervisor preston? >> supervisor preston: thank you. thank you supervisor haney for your leadership on this. i thought i had done it in committee. may be i neglected to do so. please add me as a sponsor to this item. >> president walton: thank you. see nothing one else on the roster. we can take this item same house same call. this ordinance is passed on first reading unanimously. please call item number 27. >> clerk: a resolution to dec

the city attorney's office here in this city is arguably the number one city attorney's office anywhere in the country and it is because of the leadership of our current city attorney and i know there are big shoes to fill and so in making a decision like this, it's not a decision that you take lightly. it's important to do what is in the best interest of the city and ultimately assembly member chiu will be doing this job for the next couple of months until you, the people of the city of san francisco make your decision. he is the peoples' attorney. he represents the people of the city and county of san francisco and, ultimately, you are the ones who decide and i think that over the years many of you and hands down, he is one of the most gracious, hardworking, consensus building, structured, relentless, pursuit of justice person i know. i've worked with him for many, many years on so many issues starting with the board of supervisors and before i bring david chiu up to say a few words, i remember when i was elected to the board of supervisors and one of the first supervisors who reached

the city. i sat on this street for one year every tuesday and every saturday to see what the rhythm of the city was. then, we started, and we were the first city in the world to have documentation about how people use the city. and that humanistic approach has had a major influence on the planning of copenhagen. and that's one of the reasons why copenhagen is referred to as one of the most livable cities in the world. - it would be inconceivable to create an episode of this series about copenhagen without spending time with jan gehl. his vision and his impact on the city are key to its successes. but what makes him a true urban hero is the influence he has had on people around the world, pushing them to rethink cities on a human scale. moscow, san francisco, sao paulo, istanbul, mexico city, melbourne... his fingerprints are on major transformations all over the planet. and the pedestrianization of times square in new york? yep. that was him too. what is wonderful about a city like copenhagen i

in yemen, the city -- the u.n. is calling for a ceasefire in the city of marib, where tens of thousands of civilians in need of medical care are trapped as fighting intensifies between saudi-backed yemeni forces and houthi rebels to seize control of the city. the saudi-led coalition said it had recently killed at least 160 houthi rebels in air raids. the u.n. also warned yemen's economy is collapsing and its humanitarian crisis worsening, with more than 20 million yemenis, or two-thirds of the population, in need of immediate humanitarian assistance. this comes as unicef is reporting at least 10,000 yemeni children have been killed or injured throughout the brutal war in yemen. this is a unicef spokesperson. >> four out of every five children need humanitarian assistance. that is 11 million. 400,000 suffer acute not attrition. they are literally on deaths door. more than 2 million are out of school and 4 million more are at risk. amy: at least 14 refugees have died and zens of others have been reported missing in t
