the epic struggle in the capitol city in the nation. so virtually an american schoolchild knows that george washington was heroic and stellate. he was a great and courageous commander of the battlefield and of course 104 greatest presidents through his every action and inaction everything he said and dennis a pretty much carved out presidents for the presidency but what we don't always know is that george washington and another side to him and this was typically district and it could be a visionary and a dreamer and he also could be a political player and a political chess and by the think i can almost all markets have been to city and americans love the capitol city and its spacious grand boulevards and memorials and monuments in the majestic government buildings in a tree lined mall, very few americans know the story of the capitol city came to be in a most did not come to me. that's why were here today to talk about it for unit our story begins the back of story begins in a newburgh new york printed this was long the end of the hudso

in the city. the city's economy performed worse than other large cities in the united states over the past year. that's a question -- that's a matter of public health restrictions, out migration, we rely on tourists and we rely on office workers. until office workers and hotel guests return, we're likely to see an elevated unemployment rate in the city. we've seen extremely high levels of office tenants and big tech companies, putting their office space on the sublease market and not lot of takers that the point. what that means is, we're going to have fewer people in downtown than we are used to having pre-pandemic. even though the city is giving all clear. this is recipe for slow recovery. businesses have walked away from significant leases. i do think that part of the reopening san francisco broadly and recovery of the city's economy broadly hinges around perceptions of quality of life and things to do in san francisco and amenities in san francisco in which entertainment businesses are vital.

to the city. thank you. >> thank you. is there anymore callers in the queue? >> clerk: i'm seeing that we have one more caller in the queue, and so i'll unmute our next caller now. >> hi there, commissioners. this is chris. i just wanted to discuss previously that i'm been following the land use hearing committee meetings by the board of supervisors pretty closely and there's been an extreme dearth of environment information in this recent legislation, and i wonder when we can expect the debris ordinance and legislation to come back to the board of supervisors and expect other exciting climate legislation given that we are in a climate emergency. i'd also like to say, as i have in every meeting that i'd like to see a carbon c attachment to every piece of legislation passed. it should be no less than $120 per metric ton of carbon. if we don't pursue this carbon fee, we're leaving about $20 million on the table that could go directly to, you know, communities that desperately need climate mitigation

city was the first to shut down across the country since then the city's experienced shutdowns reopens more shutdowns into strict stay at home orders. >>looking back on how we've handled the pandemic in the city. what have you learned is there anything that you would have changed jordan different role. >>well i i learned that it's important to trust your and as hard as it was to make the decision a year ago to go into a state of emergency at the end of february and then completely shut the city down even though i had so many people who are like we can't do this this is going you know impact economy our city is going to be in trouble and i knew that those were tradeoffs but at the end of the day lives are at stake. and so what i learned is important to trust the data trust the science interest or got throughout the year mayor breed along with state leaders like governor gavin newsome faced criticism for strict approaches to the pandemic many people comparing the state of florida which is taken very opposite approaches. >>yet maintained comparable per capita covid-19 rates to francisco i

i want to thank the folks from the city departments and from the civil rights for participating tomorrow and thank all of the callers who called in. i think we have learned a lot today. we have also found some areas where we need to dig some more and get some more information. particularly the data that was presented by the office of workforce development was a snapshot that does not paint the full picture of our current predicament, not to mention where we will be in six to eight months. i think, you know, finding ways to get as much accurate data as possible about what is going on and understand and analyze that is important. i do share the feeling of colleagues. supervisor ronen brought this up that deferring the vacancies after this year in some ways i would love to be able to turn that vacancy tax on for bad actors. i don't know if we can do. that is something i might be interested in. i also on top of the vacancy tax. i remember when that was on the ballot and i was advocating for it and having conversations with people who couldn't wrap their mind at additional incentive for the l

and run such much of the city. the conditions are much better now than before everything is not as it used to be because all the buildings and everything have been reconstructed but no we are very happy. reconstructed almost from scratch this church welcome to some of the displaced believers who chosen to return. trust in god. together with all people of goodwill we say no to terrorism and to the manipulation of religion. francis also visited the heart of what was once controlled iraq the city of mosul where he offered words and symbols of peace it is always wrong he said to hate kill or wage war in god's name. well in amsterdam more than 1000 very lucky music lovers enjoyed a rare night out at a club complete with live music drinking and dancing for many it felt just like a pre pandemic night out but for scientists and local government officials it was a chance to put different levels of precaution for future party goers to the test. in answer to 1300 dance music fans attended their 1st festival in over a year. in

very close to the city of here are the 3040 minutes outside of the main city are now no go zones for people so it's really showing just how much security is affecting the average person in the country right now ali very briefly peace talks have been going on for a year now between the government and the taliban any hope of a breakthrough at all. so they have just decided to remove to move the venue once again from doha where it's been since you know the tall one have been there since 2011 having informal discussions but in the last year you know these talks were supposed to happen and nothing really happened the 2 groups are there that the government side is there the taleban side is there but other than sort of setting an agenda they never did anything they never actually disputed anything they never result anything so the idea is after the bided administration sent a strongly worded letter last week to move the talks to turkey and to try and russia everything now and actually make something happen including a cease fire all right thanks so much for joining us thank you. some sports

on in the city. so, for you to answer, it's not our call totally, but seems it's a good case study that should be applied, not just for the covid situation but has wider ramifications. and emergency food distribution, demand is still very strong or tapering down to get a sense of are people's needs changing, and stimulus checks back in the fray, is there a trend line there as well that you can tell us about? >> demand varies week to week, and certainly the last week it did trend a little bit down, but the average is still over 700. 790 average per week was current as of about two weeks ago. now probably take it down a little bit lower, given the most recent data, but certainly we see news of some jobs coming back, others not coming back as quickly. we still see a continuing need and this is something that will vary, hopefully will continue to trend down over time, but it has fluctuated. >> ok. and lastly, my comment is more related to something that commissioner gilman also said about monterrey, but

the longer the city takes to try to find the perfect exclusion, the more the city is exacerbating the digital divide, and the more adamant carriers will be to adding new poles in the right-of-way. the good news is that, for the most part, there are ample city poles in the right-of-way if we could renegotiate our m.l.a. to make it scaleable and cost effective at scale. there are a few isolated targeted areas that new roles will need to be deployed because of a lack of poles in the right-of-way or pg&e poles in the right-of-way, and we are working closely with city departments and the city attorney's office on article 25 to accommodate this infrastructure. techniques like microtrenching where feasible will help to make this happen. we've been very successful in using narrow band or microtrenching methods in other cities across california and across the country. we would like to request the use of this method here in san francisco as it reduces traffic and resident disruption during deployment. so in closing, we have some additional slides if there are questions about our 5-g home offeri

no current information to the city or to the public. the leadership for both the school district and the educators union can't seem to get their act together. the board of education and the school district have had more than 10 months to roll out a concrete plan to get kids back in school. unfortunately, so farther's earning an "f". having a plan to make a plan, doesn't cut it, and is no plan at all. the district's own data show the achievement gap is widening under san francisco school district's distant learning approach. black, latino and other students of color in san francisco, as well as those from low-income families, have lost significant academic ground compared with wealthier and white students during the pandemic. while research is increasingly showing that the mental and emotional health of many students is at greater risk during the pandemic as they struggle with distance learning, san francisco officials, children, and families do not know what steps have been taken, what remains to be done, or how they can help. this is n

choose to move to a city or the fact is 3 quarters of the world's population now live in towns and cities that is over 5000000000 people and as these areas grows so do the problems from traffic congestion to soaring energy demands what we need visions our topic today are made to welcome now did you know that one in 8 people not only live in a city but in a mega city sharing limited space with millions of other inhabitants and now imagine those millions on their way to work not sure if the term rush hour still applies in order to ensure people can actually move from one part of a city to another new mobility concepts are needed and sooner rather than later. mushrooming megacities are a global phenomenon there are now 3 times as many urban areas with $10000000.00 plus residents as just a few decades ago. but as cities grow so to their problems. cities are microcosms of society we can observe all the opportunities and challenges in a very small space like under a looking glass and glass. the biggest conurbation on the planet is greater tokyo population 38000000 followed by jakarta with aroun

living in the city too. and i think we need to do a lot more scaling up programs. these mobile vaccinations. going door-to-door doing outreach. president johnson mentioned about faith-based communities. lifting up these success stories and scaling them up i think is going to be important. because if anything covid has taught us, it unmasked existing disparities which i fear will be amplified unless we take proactive action right now. mayor woodards: thank you so much, dr. wen. you all talked about hesitancy versus access. we talked a lot about access. i think what's so helpful in these conferences we get real-time information, real-time examples. so i'm going to ask each of you -- those of you who want to answer, do you all have examples where there's been successful collaboration in communities in getting people vaccinated? so maybe real-life examples we can point to and look into that can be helpful to us here on the ground as we're trying to do this, whether it's addressing hesitancy as in access? if you'

per the federal courts, if the city wants to look for another site, the burden will shift to the city to show a site that is available, feasible and less intrusive. there's no other sites here. the city needs to approve this application. it was not reallial dispute. the planning commission found the site is necessary to close the gap. it will be compatible with the building. it will be compatible with the neighborhood. the plannings commission found that it will be minimally impactful. i want to address the appeal issues as presented in the writing. location preference 7, this is location preference 7. unfortunately, there are no lower preference or more preferred sites in the area that have viable. at&t started with searches, and looked at 72 properties. identified 17 that were workal. contacted all those property owners. only one was available. it was feasible and that's 590 second avenue. we worked with the staff to minimize the design to shorten the enclosure and push them far back as possible from the roof line. the planning aspect -- the second analysis of the area, reached back

i would think the city has a more narrow definition, but i'm trying to identify the city's mom-and-pop small businesses. if they're a majority, minority owned or p.o.c. led or owned business organizations, i think these demographics are important when we're looking at the overall portfolio. i wouldn't want to see us end up, in 2024, when the economy is coming back or we're in more full recovery, seeing that the tenants who are able to weather this downturn in the economy and the pandemic were only our larger tenants, our tenants who had more equity partners, or our tenants who did not represent the fabric of san francisco from an equity perspective. so i think these things are important when we're looking at these policies to make sure they're fair and equitable because there are individuals who run businesses who might be brilliant at running their businesses or doing whatever they're doing to be a tenant of the port and the office, it could be a defined interest, who may not have the sophistication. it is still sometimes, for some folks tricky, burdensome, hard for folks to contract
