the city's changing city's change san francisco has always changed and what's made this city great is that we've never tried to put down the gates and say nobody new can come here or we don't want any change or let's freeze frame things exactly the way they are today. that's not the san francisco way. this city has always accepted change and that change has always made the city better and the city has always made the newcomers better. it has always been a two way street where everyone become better and stronger and more diverse as the result and that is what's going to happen today with all the change and challenges we have this city is going to come out stronger and more resilient for it. this is a city that knows how to get things done. i have never seen a group of residents that are more creative or smart or passionate about where they live and i know that whatever challenges we have we're going to face them we're going to overcome them and this city will continue to be the very best place in the world. and so colleagues, i look forward to working with you over the coming years i l

of our cities. the gridlock in congress does not reflect how we operate in our cities. across this nation under the leadership of mayors in this room, we get things done. and we understand that while our cities are on the rise, we still have major challenges to overcome. while we have growth and wealth, we also see staggering inequality. affordable housing is out of reach for too many and too many lack the skills necessary to get good paying jobs. my goal our goal is to take those challenges head on. like many of you i believe in making bold and pragmatic plans and executing on them every single day. during this conference i look forward to exchanging best practices, sharing ideas, and leveraging our resourcefulness as an organization. we will continue to get things done for our city and i pledge the support of the district of columbia to this organization to get things done for all of us. so i want to thank you, again for being in washington. i hope while you're here that you will enjoy the restaur

where's the housing element that guides the city how it deals with housing the housing element? and the housing element is something not that has been initiated and has been moved forward by the commission or staff but it is a point to comply with the state law the world-class santa fe san francisco has to have the state law tell them to deal with the housing crisis and the housing crisis has as persisted over the last two decades this is a experience and performance i so hope you'll take seriously the cash you have with the housing element and address one apartment omission the housing element should be defined not when housing will be needed for 2030 that a bag says but what people you are saying will be living in san francisco on 2030 and the housing needed by those people and you put users on the line to who you're going to populate the city and hope you'll say not the unites as the may says we built but the number of units that will meet the needs of people we say the people will provide a difference population if you do that your business community will be struggled by the

the goal of the bank is maximize the city's financial resources and minimize the amount the city pays out in interest and fees to wall street firms. it is clear that we have a huge unfunded needs in a number of areas such as affordable housing, transportation infrastructure, and renewable power to name a few. it's my hope that a public bank will help fill the funding gaps. while the city attorney had legal concerns about this we have worked with them over the past three years to determine as a charter city we clearly have the ability to create our own public bank, but even though we have the legal clearance the process of actually creating a bank is pretty mammoth under taking so i have been working with nadia in the controller's office, public finance to figure out a step in making this public bank a reality. we have concluded that a manageable first step would be the creation of a municipal development corporation. this would be a non depository financial institution that would fund projects by issuing medium turn notes. they wouldn't be able to leveraging the city's assets as a ful

as a city we have to make tough decisions. how hard we fight to house our residents will report build affordable units we need, if we are to grow can we do it without sacrificing our unique personality? can we create a 21st-century transportation system or provide 21st-century services to all of our residents? these are the questions we face and they are not easy. but as robert kennedy said, if our times seem difficult and perplexing, so to are the challenges and so to are the challenges built with filled with opportunity. i for one, believe as i was up in san francisco's ability to meet those challenges. san francisco is for america what america has always been for the world. a place of hope. for centuries, the dreamers of the pioneers, the wanderers, and the misfits have had breast in search of fortune in search of freedom in search and west because there you will be accepted for who you are. that's what it means to be a san franciscan. it is the pride of scene 36 states legalize gay marriage when only a decade ago we were a
