welcome back. more housing, driving down rents and getting people off the streets and the future of oakland as is a few topics we would like to discuss. i want to start with the financial state of the city. the nonprofit educational organization, that ranks the financial health of cities across california found oakland to be 70th on that list citing debt burden of $2.6 billion. >> that upgraded us from an f to a d, but we're far more excited and take it more seriously that we just got upgraded by both s&p and moody's, as far as our
8:15 am
credit rating and our outlook. >> so while a d is a d, you're happy you're going in the right direction? >> no, what i'm saying is these types of analyses that you're citing are very system system simplistic. i'm not saying people have got to hold their elected official photos making responsible decisions. i fight that battle every day. >> how bad is the financial state of oakland and. >> the good news is we've been noticed as now kind of part of the growing bay area economy, something that the credit ratings didn't necessarily consider before. they see our revenues rising and see us having put recently in place a lot of good fiscal control. things like a rainy-day policy, and paying down our long-term funded responsibilities by allocating 2 1/2% of payroll
8:16 am
towards those long-term viabilities. that just got us this upgrade just last week. >> let me ask you about the state of the city. one big promise you made was trying to double the amount of homeless people off the streets into housing. >> that's correct. >> in one year. >> that's the part i want to highlight. you think, thissace dheefable? >> in two years we have doubled our shelter capacity, and now in one year, i want to double the number of people we move from homeless to permanently housed, not just in shelter, and that will be a big lift, but that's what we must do, and i'm also really trying to emphasize my commitment to a mandate to end homelessness, which i believe is a far more superior approach to say right to shelter. we really have got to focus preventing people from becoming homeless in the first place, and having prevented 2,100 families, more
8:17 am
than 4,000 oaklanders from losing the housing they're in right now. but we've got to do better on taking people who have lost their housing. >> speaking of housing i want to ask you, one councilwoman has an interesting idea, and that is if i'm a rent and are i want to buy the home i'm in, let's say it hits the market, she have first crack at it? >> absolutely. san francisco adopted this law. >> you like this? >> absolutely. >> right now the housing market is not working for average people, so we have to do some small things to try and get it back under control. >> one would argue private property is private property, right? >> l but the buyer has to offer full-market price, fair-market price, and the seller can reject that offer. it's just if they get a higher offer later if the actual tenants are able and willing to meet it, they get the first choice. >> so you think the city would make offers on some of these properties? >> it's unlikely. the city generally doesn't like to be a
8:18 am
landlord, that's not our area of expertise, but we do lend money to affordable housing developers to purchase properties. >> oakland a's, will we have a final vote this year? do you see this on the ballpark? >> here's what i'm expecting happen, we're expecting the eir, the environmental document to come out on february 21st, that's the target date right now, and that means i think we should see a project to bring to start the process of city approval in about one year. now, this year is going to really be focused on the community benefits package and we have a really robust process going right now because people have a lot of opinion business what they want to see, to thetality of this transformative development, bring to the community. >> all right, mayor, always a pleasure. thank you for coming in. have a great week. >> gasia, back to you. traffic has been problematic in a number of places, sal. and this might affect your
