let continue to reopen our city and reopen our economy. that is what these budget investments are about. we wish we didn't have to put money aside to deal with this pandemic. in this budget, $380 million, we know testing and access to vaccines is important. we know healthcare and treatment for those hospitalized is important so we have to make those level of investments and continue to move our city down the road of recovery. so in this budget, an unprecedented investment in homelessness and shelter, in mental health and resources, one billion dollars over the next two years to deal with one of the most challenging problems that we have faced as a city. it's important to make sure that we get people off the streets, we get them housed, and we get them into treatment. we did not take the decisions that we made to make these investments lightly. let's make sure that these dollars work to change the conditions that we see on our streets. it's not just about housing, we have the hate cash bee and our street overdose team, these are groups of p

cities. >> we looked just at u.s. cities. we weren't -- if we bumped into something about europe, we would have included it. i just had a reaction which is very different energy policies in a lot of european countries that may affect the pricing and economics of appliances used but we have not studied the details of that. that's just a thought that we could be coming from a very different place here. >> supervisor melgar: understood. so my second question was about the human behavior, if it was part of what you looked at in your analysis. if folks had to buy new appliance because an old one breaks or do they buy a new appliance because they are remodelling their kitchen or doing an addition and that means that -- if it's a property owner because they need to refinance or something, i wonder if that was part of the analysis you did. >> we had quite a bit of discussion about those questions. when do people need to make that change. just thinking about it, and thinking about incentives, when would people be inclined to want to d

cities. as an example we know that new york has already returned a significant amount of travel to its economy. new york city. we have not. it is very real that our downtown and our tourist district have been hit hard. we are not yet nearly at recovery level. with delta, that is really pushing out the recover retimeframe. you might ask how does that relate to small businesses across the city? you can start with the overall tax base benefits. there are small business businet serve downtown. tourism doesn't start and stop only in designated tourist areas it is throughout the city. we also know that we have a lot of work force and jobs for our residents being supported by downtown hotels, offices. we know that while we focus on our neighborhoods and focus on small businesses, we also have to keep an eye on our larger businesses and on getting visitors back to this city. that might start with the visitors from california or those who can drive to san francisco. at some point it also needs to star

the city. and also is the dominant share of jobs in other areas of the city. most of the large employers are either in downtown or are major institutions, hospitals, universities and a few areas. in most of city, the job opportunities are small businesses. and the city isn't set up or planned for people to meet their retail entertainment shopping needs in the local neighborhood. you can't get to the mall without small businesses in the neighborhoods. people talk in the real estate world talk about why people love san francisco and tourists talk about why they love san francisco. it's the neighborhood. small businesses are vital to the experiences that residents and visitors value. if you don't have that, you don't have willingness to pay for housing and construction workers and the tourism draw. it connects to really every dynamic, every part of the city's economy. you can't be attracted to tech workers who have to decide if you want to live in new york or london or barcelona or san francisco.

a city. because a ballpark among other things is an important part of public space. it's part of a thesis of the book is to say that, you know, along with parks that we were beginning to develop in the mid-19th century and even cemeteries, strangely enough, but the ball park was one of the ways in which working class immigrants or working class people in general could experience some bit of of the countryside. if you worked in a factory, you probably worked six days a week, had nothing but sundays off. you had no way to go to the country. you know, going to the ballpark was one of the experiences you could have. that's another reason the national league's ban on sunday games had a whole other agenda. i was about keeping immigrants out in part because it was the only day they could go for many of them. anyway, there's the field and the seating and how close you felt to the action and the way the whole thing worked together as a communal space. >> one of the things that is remarkable to me of t

as we continue to navigate covid-19 as a city. and thank you, janet, and visuvio for your important efforts as we recover from this pandemic. and i want to thank our acting health officer who worked hard on these orders and for director marry ellen carol for your ongoing partnership in this response. the business community has been an important partner in our efforts ever since the early days of the pandemic which is now well over a year and a half. from capacity limits to masking requirements to everything in between, you have responded and adapted to the many new ways of doing business throughout. and, for that, we thank you. i look out at all the new outdoor dining pots and walk-ups these days and i'm so pleased to see the way san francisco has adapted and come bang to life. even in just the last few months. the difference is palpable. our ability to adapt, change and respond will service well because even as we beat back this disease. we also know that covid-19 will be with us in some capacity for the foreseeable future. we ar

the city is not paying them. and in terms of favorable terms, there is a provision in the federal aviation administration law of how we charge airports and the basic law says it has to be fair and non-discriminatory. that means we cannot give one carrier a better financial term than another carrier. it all has to be the same across all carriers. we don't have the ability, whether we have an agreement with an airline or not to provide favorable terms. the lease agreement is one approved by the airport commission and the board of supervisors. we do not have the ability to amend those terms. any airline that comes so s.f.o., they pay the same fees under the same circumstances. in conclusion, we would very much like you to keep the provision exemptions the way it is in the sense that it has stood the test of time to allow san francisco airport to be the fastest-growing airport up to 2019 for international and domestic traffic. it has served our staff well that have traveled the world to convince airlines to fly to sa

all city workers in san francisco will be vaccinated or risk losing their jobs the city announced in late june it would require all city workers to be vaccinated 10 weeks after the food and drug administration gives final authorization to a covid-19 vax. seen the announcement from the fda that the pfizer vaccine you received that approval started the countdown with the approval of the pfizer vaccine the clock starts ticking today we're very confident that we will have all city employees vaccinated by the deadline which will be november 1st san francisco's director of human resources says the city is well within its rights as an employer to set minimum terms of employment including vaccinations she says the final fda approval means nothing should be. in the way of employees getting vaccinated at this point, we've had some outbreaks in city employment and i think that really highlights that this is the step that. we need to take as on large employer and i think all employers need to take san francisco city workers unions confirmed they are currently negotiating with the city on how the

there's always criticisms of the city. but when you look at what the city of san francisco has done with our park system over the last 20 years, it is extraordinary. as the partnership with the voters, it's a partnership with the community organizations like the giants, but we have been renovating every single park in san francisco. every rec center, every pool. every baseball field. everything has gotten renovated of what our government can do and what our city can do when we all come together and move in a common direction. and resources that this community deserves and our southeast neighborhoods are part of the heart of san francisco and it is amazing to see gilman or the work being done in the mcclaron park. we are all in it together and we know from this pandemic, our parks matter. we're told you should be outside and the parks were a lifeline during this pandemic and it's going to continue to be a lifeline for our community. this is incredibly exciting. thank you to the giants for being such an amazing community par

this costs our city money. when they have to go back out and repair our infrastructure, it impacts the bottom line of things that could be used towards -- and you'll hear this today from our sfmta and public works, that could be used toward vision zero. making things more safe for pedestrians and bicyclists or drivers. we have to ensure that we're using our resources wisely and sideshows are one of those activities that takes away from and causes our city to spend additional dollars. so, we want to hear how effective this legislation has been. we want to know the police department put together a sideshow abatement unit or stunt driving abatement unit. sfmta has ideas on how we can deter this activity. public works is brought in to help repair the activity from the activity. and, so, i really appreciate you guys giving us an opportunity to give you an update today. if it's okay with you, chair, we're going to talk about today, maybe some new ideas and if we need to expand the legislation if there are additional

, major cities pulling one off the other to have a taliban before the americans. and even for the left, which gives credit to compact things that shows how, how much less successful impact americans have been building a stable government. and i've kind of stamina service one, the service didn't exactly do a good job. so therefore, i mean a clarity. the americans of failed did more thing. this is got less to do with the daughter of miss underestimation of the taliban. shang, as it is to do with underestimation of the will to fight the government forces. i mean, simply put, government forces collapse show very little will to, to, to fight. and so it's really a moral problem when the government forces more than the strength of the taliban. we also discuss the latest developments in afghanistan. we can stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war. washington this did miscalculate and they scrambled to increase troop levels. to compensate for that, the u. s. should never have been, and nato should never have been in afghanistan in the 1st place. this was a unilate

the city has an ordinance that we worked with them on back in 2014 that requires city agency goes to give organizations like the san francisco bicycle organization a chance to take bicycles abandoned and put them to good use or find new homes for them. the partnerships with organizations generally with organizations that are working with low income individuals or families or people who are transportation dependent. we ask them to identify individuals who would greatly benefit from a bicycle. we make a list of people and their heights to match them to a bicycle that would suit their lifestyle and age and height. >> bicycle i received has impacted my life so greatly. it is not only a form of recreation. it is also a means of getting connected with the community through bike rides and it is also just a feeling of freedom. i really appreciate it. i am very thankful. >> we teach a class. they have to attend a one hour class. things like how to change lanes, how to make a left turn, right turn, how to ride around cars. after that class, then we would give everyone a test chance -- chance t

certainly not in every city. but in a lot of them. and you just wonder what the relationship is like between the elected officials and our police department and how it must be a slap in the face sometimes to hear some of these same people who are calling to defund the police, or call for stricter rules and regulations on police, to then have to face the family of these officers who have died in the line of duty. like it just must be tough. >> it is tough. i'll tell you this. our officers, our first responders are so smart, they know who these people are, had they know who the enemy against their departments are and they aren't hypocritical. they're constantly asking defund the police but sending e-mails or the administration to send more police to the neighborhoods. i introduced a resolution about a year ago saying these socialists, anti-police movement do not want the police in their districts they can opt out and all the police can go to the districts that want them like my own. they pushed this and tried to bury it. they don't want

the city of san jose effective today requires all city employees to show proof. they have had a covid-19 vaccine or get tested weekly. those who refuse could be placed on unpaid leave. everyone i spoke with outside city hall said they had been vaccinated and agree with the new policy. i had a meeting last week where i provided proof that i was. so i think it's practical in the right thing to do. everything in its do their part right. >> we want to get out of this pandemic on tuesday. the city council will go a step further by considering a proposal to require proof of vaccination for everybody before entering the city own convention center that's ap center san jose. civic theatre's or any facility holding events that would host 50 or more people. >> such policies make david near hood for one feel more comfortable about being out and about. i. >> been very frustrated by the pandemic. i'm a very social person. i like to get out about shot, not wear a mask. and, you know, having to continue to abide by mask policies and and to certain extent not being here at city h
