we want the city to be better, we want the city to be a great city, especially for future generations and dennis, you have definitely done your part in making san francisco a better place for all. thank you so much. (applause) and to the members of your team, all the great people, i see jessie is joining us today, we are still here and when people try and credit me with the fact that san francisco did so well in covid, we couldn't have done it without the incredible people who work for the city and especially you and the city attorney's office. thank you jessie smith. (applause) and i've got to say, replacing someone like dennis, it's a lot of pressure. but it was also the worst kept secret in san francisco because you all knew exactly what i knew exactly what dennis knew, that there was no better person to step in and to do this very challenging, independent, complicated job than david chiu. see, david and i have a very long history. in fact, david was the chair of the democratic party at one point, remember that? or was that scott? well, you guys were there together. two peas in a p

that cities are used. and people who are there i referenced in the opening in san francisco and also oakland and san jose, many major cities in the bay area where we work that is largely empty still. we have not seen a return to office even though we are 18 months into this pandemic. so we are really grappling with the malfunction of the system that you're been describing before we start to get into solutions i'd love to share from you a bit about what was important to write this book.what is it about the health of cities. securing the help of cities for the future of humanity that was so important to each of you . >> certainly i believe very strongly that cities have been the home for humanity's most importantcollaborations . through the partnership between plato and socrates 2400 years ago, for the creativity thatgave us the italian renaissance . they are at their best, their entryways to poor people to find opportunity. there places where the young can learn and can see their wagesgrow. at their best th

the city? yes, i am optimistic. get out! i would say i am a pessimist with information. oh! that's a good one. yes. a pessimist with information. yes. yeah, we are optimistic, you know, because that's why we're still fighting. yes, i do think things could get better. i do believe in our power and our historical power to fight for better conditions. so yes, we're going to push it a little more. - as i've seen in many other cities in the world, social inequality is on the rise here in buenos aires: the wealthiest 10% earn almost 17 times more per year than the bottom 10%. now, to give you some context, in canada it's only 8.6 times higher. but there are things that can be done on a smaller scale to help bridge the gap for low-income citizens - simple things like sharing and saving basic resources. - what began as a group of friends trying to do some good has evolved into plato lleno, an organization managing some 200 volunteers who carry out over 70 "food rescues" each year! how cool is that? and

but san francisco is a beautiful city and the golden gate bridge, this is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and people come to visit from all over the world because it's magical, but we do have challenges. like any other major city we have serious challenges around car break-ins like fisherman's wharf, like the palace of fine arts, like alamo square. just imagine going to visit the most beautiful city in the world and coming back to your car and actually witness someone breaking into your car and sadly as we just saw holding you hostage to gun point, how terrifying that would be tragic. it is tragic. it's really embarrassing for our city. it's frustrating and it gives people the impression that it's not safe to come here. now, we have been implementing a lot of great policies including our tourism, deployment plan which since july when we announced it who may be able to replace all of the valuables which may not cost much in the resell market, but it means everything to them. this is what we're dealing with. yes, we've seen a reduction, but there's more, of course, that needs t

mm i think that city is always wanted to forget about what island city is. wanted to forget about the people who are buried there. it's wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field that there is a place where difficult stories are hidden. mm. new york city is celebrated as the place where anyone can achieve their dreams of but those dreams haven't been achieved by everyone. ah, it's true of people toiling away, digging out the titles for subways, we're building our skyscrapers. ah, it's true of people who have wound up homeless or because a society shunned them as happened during the aids epidemic. mm. those stories might not be flattering to tell. even more, it might tell us things about our present that we'd rather not face. ah, we owe it to the people who have been very there and are being buried there to bring their stories to light. the me so my bill to me, the jurisdiction card. i'm and i believe that we are at a place where we can finally, the momentum is growing to make hard island, a public that is not forgotten. i 1000000 new york

certainly a city of would. >> heavily a city of would. but chicago was at a crucial moment in history. it explains why the city rebuilt so quickly. chicago was built out of nowhere and out of everywhere and the modern chicago that we know in 40 years before the fire, 100 white settlers in 1830, they kick the indians, native americans out three years later and growth takes off so there may be for thousands people at the center of 1840, there are 330,000 at the time of the fire. between 1850, and 1871, 30,000 to 330,000 people, no place grew so fast. it is the expression as i was saying earlier of the nineteenth century. industrialization, immigration, westward movement, transportation, and communications revolution. >> the stock yards had been built as big as they became but you had this wonderful river flowing through into lake michigan and it had become a real rail hub by then, had it not? >> chicago came into its own as chicago in the 1850s and 60s. you talk about 1848 where the board of trade is, the first train and the first telegraph

it was certainly a city of wood. >> it was a very heavily city of wood. but chicago was a kind of at a crucial moment in its history and sort of also explains why the city rebuilt so quickly. chicago was built -- i would say out of nowhere and out of everywhere. and basically the 40 -- modern chicago that we know in the 40 years before the fire. maybe 100 white settlers here n 1830. they kicked the indians native americans out of three years later, basically, and the growth takes off and so there are maybe 4,000 people at the time of the census of 1840. and there are 330,000 at the time of the fire. between 1850 and 1871 it goes from something like 30,000 to 330,000 people. no place grew so fast and it is the expression as i was saying earlier of the 19th century industrialization, immigration, westward movement, the transportation and communications revolution. >> now the city already was the stockyards have been built not as big as they became -- but you had this wonderful -- [laughter] this wonderful river flowing right through into lake michigan. and

that is not a vibrant city, that is not a healthy city, that is a city that's in jeopardy of losing its identity. we know when we have a good mix of folks living in the city, the city functions better, and it's better for visitors, it's better for everyone. so i really want to emphasize how important it is for everyone, working men and women, to live in this city. that is the emphasis of our report. that is the emphasis of what needs to happen in san francisco, san francisco that we have always cherished. san francisco was built by working men and women and they're being pushed out. these are folks with really good jobs who at one point could afford and buy and live in the city, but they're being pushed out, and we need to revamp the current housing policy so they can live back in the city and come back to the city. >> clerk: thank you so much. >> thank you. >> clerk: so we have ten folks in the queue. let's take the next speaker, matthew. >> hi. this is zachary from young community developers. it's important that the city prioritize housing based on the people that live and work here.

we have re-opened the city. schools are back in session and we resume so many of these activities that make us feel whole again and it really is because of you. the results show for instance with vaccines, our vaccination rates. our vaccinations among people of color are highest in the nation and lead our vaccination rates in the city. and it's no accident. it's because of your work that vaccines and testing are readily available. we have 100 vaccine sites. and san franciscans are within a 10 minute walk of a site and that's why we managed to get 80% of our eligible population. and i was just talking to several of you before the event, needles are going to kids' arms. they're getting the shot and we're doing over a 1,000 a day great progress. now, that is one thing, but i think one of the key things in our responses is they're only one thing. they are so important. they're key to getting out of this pandemic, but there's so many other key issues that are of importance for us to address. the wide ranging emotiona

it's a city that is growing like every city in the 19th century. new york more than think -- more than any other. so the city is growing. it needs roads, it needs buildings, it needs a lot of stuff. that's true. but how the stuff was built was how tweed enriched himself. so he's dealing with other people's money, borrowed funds. how does he make himself rich? does he simply stick it in his pocket and kind of straight embezzlement? that would be a little too easy and a little too easy to get caught at. his typical method was simply to add -- excuse me, to pad building contracts. so say, say a building, you know, you talk to the contractor and the building would cost maybe $10,000 this 1870 dollars to build. okay, so tweed says give me a bill for $20,000, and you'll get your $10,000, you know, what you expect, and then me and my buddies will guide the other $10,000 among ourselves. he could -- and with this arrangement, he could pretty much divide the extra funds between the big four and then a couple of accountants. gotta keep track of this, and you

residence of big cities the majority of them want to a big cities. they always kind of happy where this idea a lot of people want to live in big cities. most people would like to live in a smaller city or suburb or a small town but the numbers now are the same as it were one month after 9/11 when pew asked, like a person of people in big cities say that would be the top choice overdeliver which is down considerable amount from a few years ago. every something going on. not just in san francisco but elsewhere that people feel there's a crisis. remember what it was like 9/11 to be in a big city after that you felt like you had a target on your back. when you ask people what's the number one issue here concerned about in your local community it's overwhelmingly crime as you'd expect but the second issue is poverty and homelessness. crime even in suburbs is a concern right now. it's kind of gotten in the water but that seems to be those two issues are huge drivers for why people are not so enamored with larger city life right now. i i said as a longtime

the city used to be a number of these clean team city initiatives all over san francisco. my hope is that you will continue to join us and i will be out there with you and we may even have some sort of contest so you can clean with me because i'm determined to clean up this city, get it done and all of you play an important part in making that happen. so we are so appreciative to have you all here today. let's get san francisco clean and the person who is also a fellow native san franciscan who cares so deeply about this community and this city. she spent some so much time with this department of public works making sure we get every nook and cranny and ladies today in charge of the department of public works, join me in welcoming dejada. >> thank you so much. i appreciate that. thank you, mayor for the kind words. look at all of these volunteers. it's a long time coming and well deserved. thank you, next door. give yourself a big hand. so as deputy director of operations, it's tough to keep the city clean, do our job with the sweeping, but we can't do it alone. we need re

limits -- our city limits. i voted in support of establishing the housing stability fund. that's why i also pushed for united stephenson street that would have pushed for more housing than this item was required to preserve. but this portion of the budget requires both the mayor and the board to agree. we know we cannot prevent the mayor from appropriating these funds and she cannot stop us from -- i also want to state for the record that the small sites program is not simply suffering because it is underfunded, it is in desperate need, as we know, of meaningful reforms, and it is desperately understaffed. before we refund this program, we need to know why it hasn't worked for acquisition citywide, and i need to work on that, and it sounds like many supervisors have been working on that. since 2001, we have not been abled to rehab a small site for permanent affordable housing. it is not for lack of will, it is because for the reasons that have been mentioned in this chamber today. in the past seven years, since

new york city abandonment. when i came from sacramento where i was working in the housing department in sacramento until prop 13, when i came to new york city, new york city had just taken 11,000 properties from their owners for nonpayment of taxes. 4,000 of which were still occupied. and so a lot of us community groups, people living in the buildings, elected officials all got together and suggested the city might have a program where residents who lived in these buildings could take them over and manage them. so all of this came to pass. we did rehabs, self-help, and we had these programs where tenants to manage the buildings where they're living when the city took them over and what it resulted in is close to 1,500 buildings that make up 1,300 co-ops and about 30,000 unit s of limited. the average size of this building is about 20 units in brooklyn and queens, they tend to be smaller buildings, four, six, eight buildings in harlem and the bronx. they could be larger buildings, but on average, they're 20 unit

the city attorney for the city and county of san francisco city and county of san francisco. who took the oath alongside his wife canvas. chen and five year old son lucas choose served on the san francisco board of supervisors from 2000 and 9 to 2014. he's also worked as a civil rights attorney and as a prosecutor in san francisco district attorney's office today, chu says he will use the power of the law to stand up for san franciscans. chu is replacing dennis herrera, who is becoming general manager at the public utilities commission. former democratic presidential candidate sounds off on president biden's massive spending plan by tom steyer calls it a game changer when it comes to fighting climate change, and that last major rainstorm we had did have an effect on the fire season. the big announcement today from one city in the north bay. rainy day over the bay area. we'll check it on the current conditions. talk about how much longer this wet weather is expected to last and what you can expect for the rest of the week coming up. i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv.

so they're acquiring it and dedicating it to the city no cost to the city. they'll put together a financing plan that will consist of tax credits, state financing and mohcd financing. >> so they'll purchase the land and we're going to -- have we identified or put aside yet the actual funding to build onsite? >> no, we are waiting to issue an r.f.q. for a developer once the developer is on site selected, then we'll be able to determine based on their financing plan. i appreciate that. >> again, i'm very supportive of this and i did want everyone to understand that there will be nearly a thousand-unit market rate building in district 6 that is connected to what is helping to allow this to happen and so that connection between the annual fees and that building is important to acknowledge. and i know that the folks in soma were also involved with this and they were very supportive of it. so i want to recognize the solidarity and the connection between the mission community and the soma community to come together and both be supportive of this and feel like this

postal service to city hall. finally, to appear at the board of supervisors agenda november 30th unless otherwise stated. madam chair. >> supervisor melgar: thank you madam clerk. please call item number one. >> clerk: an ordinance to accept grandfathered medical cannibis dispensaries from neighborhood notification and review appropriate findings. members of the public who wish to comment should call 415-655-0001. the meeting id today is 2492 276 7226 and then press pound and pound again. if you haven't done so already, press star 3 to line up to speak. >> supervisor melgar: thank you madam clerk. we are joined by acting director of the office of cannibis john pierce. welcome. and he is joined by who are available for questions and we have the city planning department here as well. welcome mr. pierce, the floor is yours. >> thank you supervisor melgar and thank you for your time supervisors peskin and preston. the legislation we are talking today is sponsored by the mayor's office and we're going to give a brief

the city union. here is david brown. >> a little proceeding with our protocols to get our officer in the portal and to ensure that if they are not vaccinated that we make the case that vaccinations save lives, or testing twice a week >> that's chicago. >> in new york city, ma mayor de blasio says 9,000 city workers are on unpaid leave for refusing to comply with ma mandates the number of workers vaccinated the last two weeks is up significantly but some first responders are pushing back. firefighters called out sick just today as the new policy took in effect nast m that's more than a fifth of the city valerie castro is live tonight in brooklyn. are we seeing impacts from this? >> reporter: well, shep, mayor deblasio says everyone thousands are on unpaid leave and failing to comply with this mandate, there are no disruption to my city services. the fire department says hundreds of members called out sick and fire houses around the city are feeling the strain. >> there are under staff units that can e

first, non city organizations lack city oversight. we found there was no consistent for non city organizations city wide and lack of transparency in reporting of the relationships. some of the accounts operated like city accounteds but were out of the city's purview. we recommended that city should require departments to formalize relationships through memorandums of understanding. second, our review found no restrictions on solicitations of payments and that the city needs to improve compliance restrictions on and reporting requirements for acceptance of gifts from outside sources. solicit itting funds from parties, this creates a perceived pay to play relationship. at the time of the report, the city did not require the payment form with the ethics commission. and we found that the interested party definition is unclear. we recommended that the city should amend city law from soliciting and definition of interested parties should be expanded. third, we found that the friends of organizations did not publicly report donors or reporte

city leaders will likely let us know how many people are unvaccinated who work for the city. we'll certainly pass that information to you once we get it. justin andrews, kpix5. >> thank you for that. >>> today santa clara will show off vaccination design to appeal to children. the hall and county fair grounds has been turned into a jungle of sorts including bryce colors, stuffed animals, fake trees resembling a rain forest and variety of games. with young children eligible to receive the vaccine pediatricians are educating parents on what to expect before and after the shot. >> it is advised to wait to use fever reducers such as tylenol and motrin because some studies show they affect the immune system. it's only a few studies but we don't really know. it's okay to have a fever, achiness, soreness or anything like that. if it's beyond three days call the pediatrician to set in. >> so far more than 1 million children under 12 have received first dose of the vaccine. >>> a few hundred people packed mission church on the campus. a 20-year-old was found dead after leaving campus

greenest city. this project, for instance, when it's fully growing, we'll have a live in time for thought area as green area. so why go to all this extra effort to, to swadell you buildings in plants, a huge one in the hot climate like singapore is the plants are the only thing that when the sunlight falls on it, they don't heat up. they actually take that energy and use it for the chemical processes of building carbohydrates and things. so the calculation for singapore, for instance, is that before the city was built, singapore was 5 degrees cooler. and all that heat ends up being converted into fossil fuel use as people use air conditioners to cool the spice, and throw even more heat out into the city. if substantial plant covered even reducing a pull by 2 or 3 degrees celsius, the energy saving for the entire country would be, you know, in the billions of dollars a year is a lot of the argument. you have the also much of the cities do you know it doesn't matter. one or 2 buildings? what differenc

affordable housing is the big issue in new york city. it's a desperately needed part of the city environment here. for undocumented or immigrant population, there is a problem with earning enough income because they often find jobs that aren't at an hourly rate that would provide enough money for housing. consequently, they have to double—up or triple—up in housing accommodations. when climate disasters hit, they make an already strained society that much harder. poor people, people of colour in new york city, generally don't have the kind of wealth and social power to easily bounce back from a climate disaster. ida was a different type of storm. it didn't push up sea levels as much. rather, it dumped down an incredible amount of rain very rapidly, and that also flooded the subways, it flooded people's basements. our decision—makers, corporations and government to slash pollution because i know that the place i grew up in will not survive. my office is responsible for preparing the city for the impacts of climate change. the inequi

where they have a city manager. we're calling it a new office. it's a team, and it's a cross departmental team that pulls from new resources. they ask that you not repurpose existing positions because that is what their grant is trying to fund but i don't know that they require nor do i believe we are creating a new one. >> thank you. so how many of the new positions proposed here are to be union positions? >> four of the five. the one in the mayor's office, i think it is 0904 is not, but the other that are more i.t. positions, i believe they are. we have to kwie probably half of it by next october, and the other by the next [indiscernible] in june of next year, but we do hope that that would be philanthropically done or working with the bridge program, for example. >> supervisor preston: but at this point, there's no commitment of that some or all 1.1 million. >> that's correct. i think [indiscernible]. >> supervisor preston: i think my question is different. do you have commitments -- obviously, we are being warne

largest city in the state. joe biden carried this as you can see by about 5.5 points over donald trump last year. a flip. trump carries virginia beach. virginia beach historically republican. swung over to biden in 2020. can glenn youngkin win that back? spending a lot of time next door in the city of chesapeake. similar story there. two of the closest things you'll see to bellwethers on the map tonight, stephanie. >> larry, those suburban voters, steve talked about, glenn youngkin wants to bring in those voters and the new trump voters. i can't imagine those two voters have much in common? >> reporter: well, they don't have a lot in common, except they may not like president biden. they may not like what they're seeing on capitol hill with congressional democrats. if they're traditional republicans, they also want to win. because they've had ten years of nothing but losses. that tends to energize people when they think they finally have a chance to win. your team's been losing for years, and suddenly you're in

we're a resilient city. we bounced back and made san francisco even a better place as a result of the '89 earthquake. when you think about the freeway that was down at the embarcadero, many people may not remember that, but it was dark, dreary, it's not a place you went unless you were in a car. now, people are loving and enjoying our water fronts and spending time down there at restaurants. it's a part of keeping you and your family healthy and safe and to protect our amazing city when an earth quake occurs. i want to introduce the department of public health, mary ellen carol. [ applause ] sorry. it's hard. go ahead. >> dr. colfax is on vacation. i'm mary ellen carol and the director of the department of emergency management. and, mayor, you can have my job. she really laid out exactly everything to every detail about what to do to be prepared and we are really lucky to have the leadership of this mayor who takes emergencies seriously. i'm happy that we're all here in person again on 10/21. we got distract

but the city says it's working to integrate different communities with in the, in the city. and that is developing 10 sites for affordable housing. and that over 10 years it's built close to $70000.00 low cost units. but there's a backlog of 300000 people waiting for a home. and the city says it has to prioritize those at the top of the waiting list . any projects that went on as qualifying for subs. now, let me make an example if tomorrow, you know, very well got in this particular development. next to parliament, we're going to benefit full law does. someone was being a victim elsewhere, and then that person will remove you from our parts drugs. we put time on that. so it comes because we have to accommodate from some of the person who has was qualified. and who's been wheaton, but here in the suburb of woodstock family, say they've been on the waiting list for housing for more than a decade. one of them is shanelle commander and a family who are now being evicted from a home. they've lived in for generations. this communities also taken city authorities to call to avoid b

we also owe it to the citizens of our cities, my native city to enact policies that reflect our shared values and that will keep both residents and officers safe. these are precisely the types of policies i've been working on for the better part of the last year. the policing project is a nonprofit promoting accountability and policing. over the past year, i've led a number of the projects. i was the principal author of model legislation curtailing the use of traffic stops and co-wrote our model law on decertification. and before that in a private sector at the california department of justice where i was an associate deputy solicitor general. i have litigated dozens of appeals implicating a wide range of legal doctorings, environmental law, constitutional law and many others. which we litigating the night in the supreme court. and it changed the federal legislation that weakened the affordable care act conception. and i also challenged california's laws regarding child abuse. one of the most solemn obligations in the attorney's list of the general's office is to represent the people o

we also want to thank the city partners. they truly have been colleagues and partners on this project and especially faith kirkpatrick long time project manager. >> thanks, don. >> the port of san francisco was also instrumental. at staff level we worked with rebecca and i am sorry. michael martin. without them we wouldn't have come to this place. they were instrumental to donate the land with the ground lease to this project. staff was really incredible to work with. we wanted to mention our architect for the site. they were more than an architect. as you heard earlier from brad and from jack they were involved early on in the project in the community outreach effort. they worked with community with the neighbors, with bruno from north beach neighbors and the barberry coast association to provide input early on and all of their visions and their support was implemented in this project. bill letty, close friend of jon stewart that led the community outreach and this project. it was really a great partnership with our archite

the city of atlanta will honor its world series champion braves with a parade. they returned home after winning their first title in 26 years. star first base man freddie freeman hosted the world series trophy over his head as fans cheered their hometown heroes. there will also be a free concert tomorrow in addition to the parade. >>> coming up on "cbs mornings," gayle's exclusive interview with basketball legend magic johnson as we approach the 30th anniversary of johnson announcing to the world that he had hiv. >>> i'm anne-marie green. this is the "cbs morning news." front loader odor. you know that smell when you open your funky front load washer? but at ge appliances, we've engineered the first and only front load with ultrafresh vent system with odorblock. so you can-- shut the front door! no one says that. another way we make good things, for life. frequent heartburn? not anymore. the prilosec otc two-week challenge no one says that. is helping people love what they love again. just one pill a day. 24 hours. zero heartburn. because life starts when heartb

it's located in the city club. the city club is in the 10 and 11 building of a private owned building. let me be clear for the record, the city club is a private space, and we object to all statements in the draft report that argue to the contrary. the city absolute has significant latitude to landmark various building sites and areas in the city because these are all part of the public realm and can be viewed and enjoyed by the public. this is not a public space, it's not a museum, it's not a restaurant open to the public. it's not a banquet haul frequented by general members of the public, it's not in a hotel lobby. it's in a provide area not accessed by the public of the city. if the art is landmarked, it is subject to the controls and standards under article 10. article 10 was designed to deal with buildings, sites and areas. it was not intended to deal with artwork, so we are frankly at a loss to understand what the landmarking of an art piece like this means. this is another reason why the owner is concerned

so that's prompted the city. the council city council to approve a plan that could include killing some of the birds because they want to reduce the population of geese. they don't have any natural predators. and so the number of the system got up like 78% in foster city in the last year. so the vice mayor says. that it's not so much the birds that are the problem. once again, you can't have the birds without the droppings. and then like the droppings. it's not just a mess but it's also impacting the water. levels bacteria that can be partly attributed scoop in and the goons and there have been times we have to close the beaches. >> so that really is the problem. the kids playing in the fields, you know, get gets trapped in shoes in the schools. they bring back to the classrooms. >> to like that's well put. i mean, that's let's get to it here. okay. and after years of trying. gentle or a means to nonlethal the city council voted unanimously in favor of they're calling it geese mitigation. and this plan would allo

but she also shaped the city. every copper coin, every piece of clothing, every tray she carried, the big decision to migrate and every tiny choice she made later they send them on their rounds and made it possible for the city magistrate to issue and sent them out to the fields and the wholesalers to the market conduct. they lit lanterns and the stores. it wasn't just a backdrop about a place that she created day by day. other women, other unknown people would take up her work. will you join me in thanking >> . >> now, television for serious readers. >> is my great joy and privilege to introduce all of you to our >> it is my great joy and privilege to introduce you. our speaker today who lives in england she has lived for a number of years. she is the biographer, historian, and the author of several books in addition to the condÉ

city land will double. in the next 30 five years, we must build a second america, putting in place as many housing and officers as we have built through all the times since the pilgrims arrived. the challenge is awesome. susan: how has hud changed since its inception? mr. husock: i do not particularly good agree with -- i do not particularly agree with president johnson from what he said in that clip. but it is noble just to hear the seriousness of purpose in his voice. hud has changed because in the nation 60's and 1970's, it was in the brick-and-mortar business. continuing urban renewal, not necessarily building government run housing but perforating -- partnering with nonprofits to build subsidized buildings and partnering with property owners to rehabilitate units and receive low interest mortgage. in 1973, nixon said, no more brick-and-mortar. we will have housing vouchers. so today hud distributes housing choice vouchers to low income households to rent. that augments 1.3 million public housing units

beds we offer in the city. we'll be the only count in the entire bay area not to have subacute care in hospital. any one of us could have a massive stroke or need and subacute care and be a victim of any type of severe accident that would require these services. it would be a shame, it would be a disservice to our families and many other families here to require they would have to leave san francisco to go see their loved ones when they need that care. many of the families that are receiving subacute care still are families that need additional financial resources only to have access opublic transportation. to ask them to leave county is not fair. our city must have the appropriate number of beds to meet our resident's needs. san francisco should shot be shipped 20tor 30 miles from their community and family because hospitals don't find these beds profitable and their bottom line. it's a service they must provide. they have a moral obligation to do so. this legislation will require annual reporting to make sure
