For transfers of certain properties with at least 12% rent restricted affordable units, constructed using union labor and had a debt or equity investment of at least 25 million from a Union pension fund at the time of the transfer and to affirm the secret determination. Supervisors, FI. Thank you, President Peskin. Colleagues, just real quick since it's been a little bit of a break. I want to first thank my co-sponsors, Supervisor Chan and Supervisor Melgar. This is a targeted way to finance some of the construction that's in the pipeline in our city. We have over 40,000 fully permitted projects in the pipeline that just are not moving, and a lot of it has to do with financing. So this would create using pension fund back projects that has to have 100% union labor on site affordable housing. And at the end of the day, what this will do is will literally unlock some of the projects that have been waiting. So we'll put good union members to work, we'll build affordable housing on site, we're gonna reduce the transfer tax in a very targeted way. And I think it's gonna help us achieve and attain some of the housing element, the idea of building 82,000 units in the next number of years is daunting. But this I think will be a strong step in the right direction to unlock some of those projects. So I hope to have your co-sponsorship, anyone that wants to add their name and definitely have your support here today. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Supervisor St. Fe. Seeing no other names on the roster, we will take this item same house, same call, the ordinances passed on first reading. Madam Clerk, could you please read items 10 and 11 together?

Submit, thank you, supervisor Stephanie. Submit, thank you, supervisor Walton. Submit, thank you, supervisor Chan. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Colleagues, welcome back from our legislative recess. Back to this chamber. I do wanted to report back from what we have done in the last previous budget process. And I think soon you will hear from your constituents as well as the service providers in your district that some of the things that we have, some of the services that we have approved and the budget that we have approved with the mayor, support signing the final budget, it seems to us that we now face another hurdle. Similarly of what we have faced last year is that there seems to be funding with health, being with health and not releasing to these partners for services either already render or anticipate it to be rendered to our constituents, to our communities. It is alarming, I am concerned that we're now back to the space where the administration is electively spending things that they power ties to be nice to have instead of what is necessary as we the budget community is going to continue to scoot nice and comb through these contract coming before us. As the mayor has and her administration questioned the spending of these services, we too going to continue to question the spending of some of these contracts coming before us. At the end of the day, we're all in agreement though, that we look forward to seeing the controllers, as well as the mayor's office and our budget and legislative analyst is going to come up with both the five year and also the controller's financial forecast, so that we can better understand the city's financial conditions and situation and make better decisions. And but this all likely to happen November or December. So I just wanted to bring you to the loop and that you understand as you hear from your constituents and your communities and about their concerns of why these services are being hold up and not moving forward. This is one of the reasons why and we're happy to answer any questions you may have in your communities and your constituents. But this is really likely to case as we've been hearing it over the summer. Thank you. And the rest I submit. Thank you, supervisor Chan. Supervisor Dorsey. Thank you Madam Burke. Colleagues, as you may know, supervisors Stephanie and Gardio, SAFIE and myself serve on the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District. And today I'll be giving an update on the district as an outside board report. Overall, travel in the Golden Gate Corridor by bridge, bus and ferry remains well below pre-pandemic levels, especially commute travel. While travel is well below those levels, travel to in the Golden Gate corridor continues to trend upward and the district continues to add back bus and ferry service incrementally as we do see a little bit of a return to customers traveling in the Golden Gate Bridge corridor. In August, the district made bus schedule adjustments to improve system efficiency while increasing bus frequency along the 101 corridor and improving connections with partner agencies, including Marin Transit and the Sonoma Marin area rail transit districts. The district is also working with state officials in trying to complete the final $250 million funding for the last phase of the seismic retrofitting of the bridge. The district hopes to bring forward a funding plan for a board approval at its September meeting. On the health service board, in June, the health service board voted to designate Blue Shield of California as the city's official health care provider following a thorough RFP process. This is for the Medicare PPO plans and you may recall some of this played out a bit in the budget situation. Previously, United Health Care held this role, Blue Shield emerged as the most visibly responsible option projected to save the city over $40 million over three years. a fiscal year, which is a very important thing to do with the fiscal year. The change was something that many retirees were unhappy with. One of the things that I did express at the last health service board meetings that I really wanted Blue Shield to hear is that Blue Shield has some serious reputational deficiencies with how our retirees view their services. Blue Shield has some serious reputational deficiencies with how our retirees view their services and that is something that we are going to be keeping an eye on as we do as we do this I think I have said in this chamber and I said it there at the health service board as well I think it would be a violation of my obligation to the to the the trust, the fiduciary obligation that I hold to the trust if we were to go through an RFP process and then choose the highest bidder. That would be the worst kind of thing we could do with a one thing that we have, a tool we have to keep healthcare costs under control. But I heard a lot from our retirees about some real concerns, so I did express to Blue Shield that there is not going to be a sympathetic ear if there are some problems. So they heard that. I am assured by each SS that they're going to be working closely and they are having a plan to roll this out. I strongly urge Blue Shield to consider its reputation in all of its offerings to our city employees so that we can avoid this again. This is an opportunity, I think, for them to win back the hearts and minds so that we never go through this kind of thing again. And the rest, I submit. Thank you, supervisor Dorsey. Supervisor Ringardio. Submit, thank you. Supervisor Mandelman. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Colleagues, I have a few things today. First, I am introducing legislation to revise San Francisco's all electric ordinance, which this board passed in 2020. The original ordinance mandated that all new construction be all electric. The purposes behind the ordinance were to protect public health, improve public safety, and reduce emissions. Natural gas contributes to both indoor and outdoor air pollution and also poses a significant public safety risk for explosions as we have seen all too often here in the city and around the Bay Area. Last year, the Ninth Circuit struck down a similar ordinance that was passed in Berkeley, ruling that Berkeley's legislation was preempted by the Federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act, EPCA, which regulates the energy efficiency of consumer products, such as those used in commercial and residential kitchens. The amendments I'm proposing would clarify that appliances covered by EPA are exempt from this ordinance. The modification sends a clear message. We are committed and are serious about health and safety and will continue to work towards the elimination of fossil fuels from our built environment. I want to thank Cindy Cumberford, Charles Sheen, Joseph Piazeki, Alice Hurr, and Tyrone Jew from SF Environment, Rob Cappless, Sarah Herr, and Tyrone Jew from SF Environment, Rob Cappless, Sarah Crowley, and Brad Russey from the City Attorney's Office, and Calvin Ho in my office for helping think this through and for getting this legislation ready to introduce. Second, I am introducing a resolution proclaiming this September as the ninth annual transit month in the city and county of San Francisco. Since 2016 San Francisco Transit Riders has organized an annual transit celebration to encourage more people to use public transit and to celebrate transit riders and operators for the vital role they play in creating a more sustainable and livable San Francisco. You know, in 2021, transit we expanded to an annual transit month. As our transit operators continue to recover from the pandemic, it's important now more than ever for us to promote public transportation so that agencies like Muni, Bart and CalTrain can maintain and improve operations for the hundreds of thousands of riders who rely on their services every day. I know, I hope all of you or lots of you, all of you, will be joining us for a rally in front of City Hall this Thursday at 9 a.m. I want to thank Chanel Wang and all the staff at SF Transit Riders for organizing this month's event and also Calvin Ho in my office for his work on this resolution. And I want to thank supervisors Dorsey, Ron Ronan Melgar, Saffaee, and Guardio Stephanie Preston and Walton for your early co-sponsorship. And for more details on the months events, folks can visit sftransitwriters.org. And lastly, I have updates from the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, where I serve as Vice Chair and the California State Association of Counties where I serve on the executive board. For TJPA, you may recall that in May of this year we had some happy news in that the FTA announced a $3.4 billion funding commitment for the downtown rail extension. The less happy news was that that was $700 million less than TJPA had requested and that it still leaves leftists or leaves us with an overall funding gap of $2.5 billion, which grows each year that we don't close it. So given that and given uncertainty around extension of cap and trade in Sacramento or other mechanisms to fill that gap from the state, the TJPA board decided in July that it makes sense to push back our target date for the full funding grant agreement from the FTA, which is sort of the last big step before starting to construct a project and that although we had ambitiously hoped to have this ready to go in the spring of 2025, that was not going to happen and that we should push back. We've now set a goal of July 2027, but again, we are going to need more state funding. And as of this moment, the exact source of that state funding remains unclear. So, pray for cap and trade renewal. Following that action, the portal project team is preparing an updated master schedule to reflect the timing of all project activities for the continued development and future construction of the project. But as I said, each year that we go, project activities for the continued development and future construction of the project. But as I said, each year that we go without beginning, pushes our cost up by north of $100 million a year and the delay could be as much as $600 million, even if we get going by July of 2027. Our CTA and MTC are continuing to lead efforts on coordinating with the TGPA and other partners to complete a successor. Memorandum of understanding, we have a 2020 Peninsula Rail Program, MOU that defines the relationship among the different parties to this JPA and it needs to be refreshed. So hoping to have that done soon. And then the portal project team is also continuing to prepare for the next steps in procurement for the Progressive Design Build Contract, which will construct the project's tunnel and other civil works if, as we hope, we can nail down this funding by 2027. So work goes on. And then from CSAC just last week, I was at their board meeting. We voted on several items on the November ballot. CSAC took a support position on Prop 5, which I think everybody here is probably familiar with that would lower the required voting threshold to 55% for any borrowing that funds affordable housing construction, down payment assistance, and public infrastructure projects. Although I voted for it, the board took no position on Prop 35, which would require the state to spend funds from our tax on healthcare plans to support Medi-Cal. The board took a support position on Prop 36, which is the Prop 47 reform that does a number of things including creating a new category of treatment mandated felony. Finally, the board voted to take a support position on Prop 4, the Safe Drinking Water Wild Prevention Draft Preparedness, and Clean Air bond of 2024, which would authorize the state to sell $10 billion, or $10 billion in general obligation bonds to help fight the climate crisis with a focus on supporting low income communities of color. You have the next CSAC board meeting will be on November 19th, and that's what I got, the rest I submit. Thank you, supervisor Mandelman. Supervisor Melgar. Submit, thank you, supervisor Peskin. Submit. Submit, thank you, supervisor Preston. Thank you, Madam Clerk. I just wanted to give a quick update on the state legislation committee that, supervisor Chan and I sit on and committee meets once a month and is currently taking a break until December to prepare for the next legislative session. As you all probably know August 31st midnight was the deadline for bills to get out of the legislature. And we are happy to, if you're tracking anything in particular, please let the committee know or my office or a supervisor Chan. Many of the bills that the committee supported are now on the governor's desk. The governor decides the fate of these bills by a September 30 deadline. So he'll be deciding whether to veto or sign these bills this month. And again, if you have any questions on these bills, let me know. The rest I submit, thank you. Thank you, supervisor Preston and supervisor Ronan. Thank you, my update from MTC and Bafa, regarding the Transportation Regional Measure Select Committee in June after Senate Bill 1031 did not move forward. MTC began convening a select committee consisting of commissioners representatives from business, labor and community, and staff from Senator Weiner and Wahab's offices to build consensus on a new transportation regional measure framework. In August, the select committee provided feedback on two potential frameworks. MTC is hoping to have the select committee approve a final framework in October. Secondly, regarding the portal, in July, the commission authorized staff to perform a stage gate evaluation for the portal, formerly known as the Downtown Rail Extension Project or DTX, in accordance with major project of advancement policy or map. The TG TJPA and our Transportation Authority are seeking to advance the project into level one of the map, which would make it a top regional priority advocacy and investment at the state and federal levels on power with projects such as BART, Core Capacity, and BART Silicon Valley Phase II. Staff from both TJPA and the TA are working directly with MTC staff as the project goes through the evaluation process. And last and least, very, very, very, very sadly, as you've likely heard the worst news from the legislative recess. Unfortunately, on August 14th, Bafa voted to remove the 20 billion general obligation bond intended for affordable housing from the November general election ballot. Could go on about this all day. There's so much that happened last minute. But the bottom line is we will no longer have this life region changing once in a lifetime measure on the ballot in November. Recent developments that come talk to me if you want the details led the Boffa Board to pursue the housing bond during another election season, hopefully after voters have weighed in on Prop 5 this November and the rest is submit. Thank you supervisor Ronan. Seeing no names on the roster of Mr. President, there concludes the introduction of new business. Madam Clerk, let's go to general public comment. At this time the board welcomes your general public comment. Please line up on your right hand side of the chamber. You may speak to the approval of the various minutes the president had mentioned at the top of the meeting. May also speak to items 2322, the items up for adoption without being considered by a committee. And you may speak to other general matters that are not on today's agenda but must be within the board's subject manager's jurisdiction. All other agenda content will have been reported out to the board by an appropriate committee where the public comment requirement occurred. Let's hear from our first speaker. We're setting the timer for two minutes. Welcome. I would have told us that the COVID shots are bad. I couldn't believe it, but Friday night, I called Rema Labo. She was the one that was interviewed by Governor Jesse Ventura back in 2009, and she said she was getting out of the country because not today or tomorrow, but there's going to be a virus that's coming down the pike, and they're going to have the supposed cure be this shot that hurts people and I talked to her briefly and She's a great lady Jewish doctor very good at what she does and She was instrumental as far as I can tell under God more than any other person to get three million Americans to contact our leaders about this wine Flu shot and what Kathleen Sibelius was gonna do of the health and human services, was she was gonna put, I think it was, don't quote me on this, but September 15th, 2009, squaling in it, which would have sterilized everybody. No kids born since 2009. So this is like a prelude to the shot, the effective COVID vaccine. It's effective to kill, hurt, and destroy. But anyway, I don't want to get side-tracked from the Bible. Okay. There's a Psalm that David wrote, yay, my own familiar friend and whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. Oh, Lord, be merciful unto me and raise me up that I may requite them by this I know that thou favorest me because my enemy doth not triumph over me." Now Jesus in John 13 quoted this scripture because he was going to be betrayed by Judas Iscariot and he said, when this comes to pass you're going to know that I am He. And the genius of the Christian religion is found in the predictions. You should read Isaiah 41. In Isaiah chapter 41, Jehovah God challenges all the false religions, and they're all false religions, okay, to bring forth predictions, either bad or good, tell us the future. Thank you, Mark, for your comments. Let's hear from our next speaker, please. Hello, supervisors, President Peskin. Supervisor Melgar. I'm here to discuss the Ocean View Library. On July the 18th, 2024, a library commission met and made important news about the Ocean View Library. In a rules committee meeting on June 18th, 2024, Supervisor Safai again requested the Ocean View Library be built exclusively on 100 Orazaba Avenue location. This exclusive request for a construction location is highly irregular for a supervisor to request. I should also mention he did this twice. This request is even more out of order when the site requested to be developed is in a green belt on an earthquake fault in a historic streambed on a narrow street on the perimeter of the ocean view district far away from the population center. Two blocks away from the M Streetcar line on a hill and on a busy thoroughfare, making the location an attractive nuisance. Hereby making it dangerous for children to visit the library. In contrast, a library built on Randolph Street would be beside the end of street car, only 20 feet away from the entrance, would be built on rock instead of sand, there would be senior housing available for 35 to 45 seniors. Randolph Street, a library would be near a population center and a library here would be in a tenet of approval of the library commission that does not appreciate being told what to do. Thank you for your comments. It's here from our next speaker. Welcome. Yes, we'll come collect that from you. Good afternoon board of supervisors. For the record, my name is Chris word Klein. First, I want to apologize to each of you for not getting this information to you in a timely or manner. There were several trying very hard to ensure that this wasn't released. So maybe know that after my presentation to the health commission there was a garson at the place I live. Thus giving credence to the evidence I was presenting. This has been reported to the ATF and FBI. I just handed out five pages to each of you. The first pages, one through three, is a resolution number 430-22, which authorizes the Department of Technology into an agreement for wireless technology through June 30th, 2027 for COVID and public health and safety. My first thought, good God, they are looking to keep COVID active until 2027, because with this technology, you can write your own ticket. You can win the big election or influence people to shop at your favorite stores and so on. Page four is the first page of a story which shows there is a vulnerability to the emergency broadcast system that gives access to San Francisco's public health, safety fire, and other systems to other counties, states, and countries. The vulnerability was still active as of this past weekend. Here in San Francisco, if you gave access to a few in New York City, they are using universities to gain access and use their systems to illegally influence decisions in San Francisco. It almost worked, except first net captured all the data. This exposed Ramcapacca who once worked in San Francisco as the regional administrator for HHS region 9. Page 5 is the last piece of the puzzle. The mayor introduced resolution 45 through 48 on June 13, 2023 to build a pandemic just in case COVID did not stick around. Look at resolutions on item 45 and 47, the end date just coincides with the end data on the extension of the wireless network for COVID. If you build a hospital, there will be sick people and sick patients. It's time to move away from bad science and promote good science. I'm urging an immediate closed-door session to hold Grandpa Paka and London Breed accountable. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. It's here from our next speaker, please. Welcome. please welcome. Freight Pals 9, fuck Israel, stop the sweeps. I hope you all had a nice summer recess, but I'm ready to go jersey on your ass this once again. I want to talk about how depressingly common it is to be sexually salted and harassed over a woman or femme's lifetime, which I don't know if systems here are ready to address. I made a Facebook post about many instances of such to date in late 2017. In 2018, it would happen again with Supervisor Safa'i, who wrote me, which I spoke about at the July 9th Board of Supervisors' Minutes, in which the meeting minutes were voting it on today. On July 10th, Supervisor Safa'i would crash summer in the city and try to unsuccessfully and awkwardly get photos with two trans women and attempt to do damage control. On July 12, I would get texts from a reporter that one of South IE's people dug up the post from 2017 in a way to make me out to be a crazy attention whore. On July 13, he never showed up to the SFWPC meeting to discuss the issues I raised and he ties with the org. Now back the board business, which brings me to the fact that after all that President Peskin still made my assulter chair of rules committee. What the fuck? Allison Collins got stripped of her committee assignments for much fucking less. I know I may be a profane con, but that doesn't mean I should be fucking disrespected and feel unsafe going the rules. I shouldn't have to depends my fellow progressive. Nor should I have an epic and screechy autistic meltdown that leads me to spending a few nights in county in order to be taken seriously. None of your motherfuckers have supported me, privately or publicly or assof I either resign. Shame on all of you. On another note is offensive that on August 1st after the trans flag raising, after a homeless oversight committee, and at the beginning of summer break mayor breed announced that homeless people Are going to be shipped back to where they came from what about LGBT people who are fleeing toxic home environments and red states Should they be sent back to sexual assaultsters and Greyhound therapy supporters? I yield my time fuck you Let's hear from our next speaker please Hello everyone. My name is Leah McGeever. I live in D6. I would normally talk about the issues that I see in front of me living in D6, but I'm going to dedicate this to my friend Jordan. First off, I am ashamed of every single one of you for not speaking up. Sincerely ashamed of you. We have been having this citywide conversation about sexual assault, rape, growing sexual assault. It's many things and how unacceptable that is in our society, in our politics, men with power should not continue to have power to abuse us, assault us. And I'm ashamed of y'all for not stepping out of your comfort zone to stand up for another person who's been grossly violated by one of your colleagues. I want you to ostracize him. I mean, he's already taken himself out of every public comment. He's not here listening. He hasn't been since Jordan spoke up. So is he just not going to listen to the public anymore? Oster size him. Don't take photos with him. Don't invite him to your campaign event. Do not promote him. Osterize him. We trans people, even the ones that aren't invited to City Hall, we talk to the ones who are invited to City Hall. We talk to each other because we protect each other, okay? I have been talking to people that you like, trans people you like, non-binary people you like, we talk to each other, we have warned each other about him. So we're now watching all of you to see how you react. Are we safe around you? I do not feel safe. Any one of your offices now, okay? I already didn't feel safe in my supervisor's office. I don't feel safe in any of your offices now. I'm watching you, we're not worth anything to you, honestly. And your actions are just reinforcing that. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker please. My name is Jim McFee. I'm here about Laguna Honda Hospital. My best partner Randy, who is a victim of Laguna Honda hospital in the recertification process. You know, I would have thought that over the trying to conserve people, everybody would have figured out that you don't make laws just for homeless people. Of course, we still have one. We have SB 1152 brought by Hernandez, hospital patient discharge process, homeless patients. What does that lead to? That leads to some really warm and fuzzy stuff like resident, elopement response. Do you know what resident, elopement, response. Do you know what resident, elopement, response is at Laguna Honda? So when people try to escape, now here on this piece of paper, I got from a committee meeting. Of course, I didn't find out about these committee meetings until after Laguna Honda got resurptified. So, as you as the Sheriff's Department doesn't have enough funding to support that type of behavior. Tough luck. They enforce all the rules, all the policies. Everything at Laguna Honda. They're not going to get away with it. They're not going to get away with saying, oh no, we only support things that are legal. Everything else we don't support. Well, this home was just church policy, some constitutional. institutional. How would you like to have an evokement response done on you? Any view plan on evoping? You know the former City Attorney did. Thank you for your comments. Peace. Next speaker please. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I'm William and I'm a Rory Gambrell. And I request you for a public hearing. I am a victim of a violent crime. Very serious violent crime. And I'm about to lose one of my eyesight. I came in here back in February and asked each and every one of you guys in here. For your help. You did not help me. For what I'm asking you guys for right now. It's to tell me when can I get a public hearing because I want to bring up some charges on some very serious people in this building. In this building and this office right now. And it's charging that I want to bring up the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the I want to bring criminal charges up against. It's just a 10 supervisor. I want to bring criminal charges up against district three supervisors for a ignoring me and I'm a victim of a violent crime. I went to every agency in San Francisco asking for these things that I'm asking you guys to give me a public hearing. The public must know about what's going on in these buildings. Now, I'm asking you, and I'm putting it for it once. I'm asking for a public hearing, and I'm asking for the federal marshal to look into my case because I was injured very badly. And now, about to lose my eyesight and y'all keeping quiet about it, I want charges to back again to get it. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker please. Hello members of the board. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker please. Hello, members of the board. My name is Zellow. I'm a 10-year member of San Francisco Quaker meeting. This is Huey. He's asleep, so he won't bother you. I'm rising to speak because as someone who does not drink alcohol, does not smoke marijuana, does not engage in any substance use, if you will. I wrestle with the challenge of the fine line between harm reduction, safe injection, the conversation we're having as regards public policy, but in the work that I've been doing out on the street in my vocation of ministry, I've noted several conversations, many more than I care to recount, of persons who are curious as to what they were about to use was laced with anything that they couldn't be sure about. We started having the conversation about the use of distribution of fentanyl testing strips before the pandemic. Just recently someone at UCSF published an article last fall actually asking the question about the effectiveness and the utility of the distribution of fentanyl testing strips, which can cost somewhere around the ballpark of $1 each. And I wonder whether we can make further integration of fentanyl testing strips into ongoing programs, even as we continue to wrestle with the question, the ethical conundrum of some, like myself, who sometimes has felt that making usage too easy is to corroborate with usage. And I know other people might feel that way, but as a matter of effective public policy, I wonder how the data shows us that making the use, making the FEMSNOR testing strips more widely available is something that can impact the numbers that we want to see reverse, because since I have graduated high school in 1999, we've seen tens of thousands of people perish I have graduated high school in 1999. We've seen tens of thousands of people perish from the use of Fentanyl and I know that we all can agree even if we disagree as to the method. That we want to see those numbers continue to course correct. Thank you all for your work. Thank you for your comments. Are there any other members of the public who would like to address the board during general public comment? Please come forward. Mr. President. Seeing none general public comment is closed. Madam Clerk could you please read the adoption without committee reference calendar. Items 20 through 22 were introduced for adoption but without committee reference. An unanimous vote is required for adoption of a resolution on first reading today. Alternatively a member may require a resolution on first reading to go to committee. Supervisor Dorsey. Item 20. Item 20. Okay, Supervisor Walton. Thank you, President Peskin. I'd like to be added as a co-sponsor to item 20. So noted, on the balance of the calendar items 21 and 22, we will take those items same house, same call. Those motions are approved. Madam Clerk, could you please read item 20? Item 20, this is a resolution to declare the Board of Supervisors intent to expand local rent control protections to go into effective the Costa Hacquins Act as repealed via ballot measure on the November 5th, 2024 ballot. Supervisor Dorsey, thank you President Peskin. Colleagues, I'm happy to vote in support of this resolution which expresses our intent to expand rent control protections if Proposition 33 passes because I trust all of us here as San Francisco policy makers to expand rent or protections in a manner that protects renters without maliciously sabotaging our affordable housing obligations. Unfortunately, I don't trust all other California jurisdictions to do the same, which is why I am going to be opposing Proposition 33 this November. I don't want to engage in a lengthy re litigation of a debate we've already had in this chamber, but I do think this vote requires a bit of an explanation, so I'm happy to offer one. If Prop 33 were really a rent control measure, it seems to me it would expand and enhance our statewide rent control law AB 1482, so that it protects all California renters. It does know such thing. And in fact, in my view, this is about local preemption, giving anti-housing jurisdictions the ability to sabotage state law. In my view, this is not sufficiently about rent or protections. I think that's why this is not sufficiently about renter protections. I think that's why this is such a strange bedfellows measure in which prominent Republican Nimby from Huntington Beach praised this for giving his city an I quote ironclad protections from the state housing policy regarding affordable housing production. That's the reason that other democratic leaders, including San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, Assembly Member Buffy Wicks, State Senator Tony Atkins, and others. In fact, Senator Atkins said that Prop 33 was one giant loophole that lets select local governments off the hook for affordable housing. California Yimbi has also opposed it. Although notably, California Yimbi also agreed with me, and I think all of us here that well designed rent control policies need not discourage new housing development. There is a way to do this right in other words if that were to happen. And I think I have every confidence that San Francisco could do it thoughtfully and in good faith for that reason I'm happy to support the resolution. Thank you seeing no other names on the roster. We will take item 20, same house, same call. The resolution is adopted and Madam Clerk, do we have any in memorial? Yes, Mr. President. On behalf of President Peskin, the meeting will be adjourned in memory of Mr. Adam Banks. We are adjourned. you.
