cities. and everybody has worked in the center. cities will live in some boondocks away and the city will be empty at night, and then we just investors and you know, who live far away was empty. apartments have no light. it's not a good idea. after all, that's what a city is. it's a creative place. if people want to be in a city, they can get jobs, they can go to school, they can better themselves, they can meet other people. so if you segregate you create a horrible dichotomy that will be a failure and will lead to a the end of city. new york itself may be changing the original well trade center was an incredibly controversial project. it's detractors accusing it, ignoring the people on the pavement in its race for the scar. the same fighting's critics point to in today's mega structures is replacement, has consciously taken a very different route involving the public right from the start. my experience at the competition for grounds, you are the world trade center, which was a world competi

american profit, this is an american city, a great american city. so we're talking about a wholesale withdrawal of governmental support for industrialized cities. and you know, i think that the flag being near the train station is quite appropriate because like i said, this is not just the symbol of detroit play. but this is a symbol of america's play. neglect. to play lou. ready detroit's recent history might be one a decline, but this was, as darrell says, a great american city it was also an instant one a population of 28501900 reached almost 2000000 in 1950, fueled by the needs of one industry d industrialization is a common issue in the developed world. my own home town of nottingham in the u. k. went through in the 19 eighties and nineties, but detroit's problem started long before that in creating the motor car for the mass market. detroit. so the seeds of its own decline when the car companies wanted to create new production lines all wanted to teach unionized labor a lesson. they just moved further out of town, taking with them the jobs and

their aspirations for the future of the city. # city of mine, my flows below... legend has it that coffa's tree was a tree planted by a man named coffa, by the settlement when it was first built up by the river, so people all around could see where the settlement was and come to it with ease, and "coffa's tree" over the years apparently became "coventry. " the banners on the approaches are designed by local schoolchildren, reflecting the themes of today's event. three of them, daniel, frankie and christian, along with teacher nina, are from the coventry extended learning centre, a pupil referral unit for children struggling in mainstream education. they helped design the banner on the theme of socialjustice. i drew a mouth to project the way everybody should have the freedom of speech. a lot of our students have come here because they have been either moved or permanently excluded. the mainstream has not worked with them for whatever reason. for them to come here and be part of the banner creation is great pride for me, for them, and for their parents. because th

the city's public asset. the measure will also provide checks and balances and transparency for all city departments sharing appointments to charter commissions between the mayor and the board of supervisors. and i also want to take this opportunity to thank amy, you know, and i know that my team has always been super grateful to her and just her experience. i know that we came back when we were co-sponsoring the inclusionary housing mandates with supervisor ronen's office and amy had that brilliant one pager. it explained it all. it's hard to find people who are so brilliant and so kind and have such a strong moral compass on doing the right thing. we're going to miss amy as well. of course, i wanted to join in memoriam for judge harry lowe. i met him when i was a young aide working for attorney kamala harris and then he already retired, but still very much a strong figure among the chinese american community. and we always look to him for his leadership, for his guidance. i know that young lawyers that work

as instance cities. ah, the inference being that they are mere facades for reflection of national wealth and pride in portrait on the west vanity projects for wealthy patrons and the overpaid foreign architect in a country where nationals make up just 15 percent of the population. these prejudices often reinforce for expense like me, by the fact that you seldom if ever meet to locals. ah, it took a friend of mine from london to introduce me to fatima a young battery architect who offered to show me the less visible side of tow. how's current development boom wanting? i've noticed harris versus building so what's the purpose of building all these buildings? you know, without anybody to move into that immediately different vision. building a brand image for the city, but it's also another patient for this population growth that we already see taking place. do you think people misunderstand what's going on in the gulf right now? definitely, it's very apparent that all they see is the sort of, i just sort of

the city of hamilton, ontario is a city with proud, working-class roots. for generations, it's been known as "steel town." but this city has suffered from economic decline and deindustrialization, like so many cities in the region and across north america. hamilton is desperately trying to figure out how to adapt, and how, perhaps, to reinvent itself. this is also a medium-sized city, one living in the shadow of a loud, noisy neighbor. that's toronto in the distance, across the lake. is there a greater sense of community, cohesion and urbanism in a city this size? we all know where steel town came from, but man, i want to figure out where steel town is headed. until now, the life-sized city has focussed on major urban centres: paris, tokyo, mexico city, bangkok. but that raised a question: what about all the mid-sized cities around the world? what about their reality? well, like in many places, hamilton's steel and manufacturing industry boomed between the industrial revolution and the late 20th century. and i mean really boomed. from appliances to cars to

city. we cannot do that through a 10a or 10b program and i concerned and what i learned from the last hearing, of we may be doing that. so i'm looking forward to getting more information from the police department about how this program has been used and making sure as we move forward if this does move forward that we're not operating a new program in violation of state law. so i will leave it at that. and will be opposing both amendments as well as the ordinance today. thank you. >> president walton: thank you sox so much, supervisor preston. on the motion to amend and duplicate it. >> clerk: on the motion, supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: aye. >> supervisor preston: no. >> supervisor ronen: aye. >> supervisor safai: aye. >> supervisor stefani: aye. >> supervisor walton: no. >> supervisor chan: aye. >> supervisor haney: aye. >> supervisor mandelman: aye. >> supervisor mar: aye. >> supervisor melgar: aye. >> there are nine ayes and two nos with walton and preston in dissent. >> vote

women who do extraordinary things across the city, making change within the cities with some of the city�*s most disadvantaged communities. people who are really active, particularly during the pandemic. the original lady godiva rode naked through the streets of iith—century coventry in protest at high taxes for the townsfolk. today�*s 2ist—century equivalents are more modestly dressed and most of them have had to learn how to ride a horse. rena, a teaching assistant, who has also founded her own theatre company, is one of them. here we go, rena, this is del boy or delaware. i'm the kind of person that would probably ride on a horse naked if it was to fight social injustice. and kind of protest in a creative way, like lady godiva, so i think that's probably why i was nominated and selected. i've come from a community that are considered to be the lowest of the low, we're very downtrodden, we're seen as subhuman and those kind of ideas and ideologies carried on here in the uk, and caste discrimination is still an issue — that's where my activism started. just enjoy it where you

from the city. you can't be in the business of getting contracts with the city in exchange forgiving money to the city. that is the definition of quid pro quo. i also want to ground this in another principle which is in the realm of the practical. we, and that by i mean we as city officials, need to be able to comply with this. outside stakeholders also need to comply with this. we all need to understand our obligations and responsibilities. the amendments i made to get us to this point that i propose today are in furtherance of that latter practical consideration. in as much as we have tried to cast as broad net as possible, i want to be clear where the prohibition on behested payments need not apply. to that end i would like to make the following non substantive amendments which you are in receipt of at page 2. let me get my cheat sheet here. lines 19 through 21. at page 4 lines 1 and 2. i propose to define the term grant and provide that people or entities who provide grants to the city are not i

it's a city that is growing like every city in the 19th century. new york more than think -- more than any other. so the city is growing. it needs roads, it needs buildings, it needs a lot of stuff. that's true. but how the stuff was built was how tweed enriched himself. so he's dealing with other people's money, borrowed funds. how does he make himself rich? does he simply stick it in his pocket and kind of straight embezzlement? that would be a little too easy and a little too easy to get caught at. his typical method was simply to add -- excuse me, to pad building contracts. so say, say a building, you know, you talk to the contractor and the building would cost maybe $10,000 this 1870 dollars to build. okay, so tweed says give me a bill for $20,000, and you'll get your $10,000, you know, what you expect, and then me and my buddies will guide the other $10,000 among ourselves. he could -- and with this arrangement, he could pretty much divide the extra funds between the big four and then a couple of accountants. gotta keep track of this, and you

we are not going to let what others try to do to our city define who we are as a city. we are better than this. the reason why you see now especially during the holiday season a significant increase in police and ambassadors and other things because we are going to make sure we do everything we can to keep our city safe. the people, employees, merchants and residents alike. i want to thank the san francisco police department for being here with us today. i saw them late hours on chestnut street on saturday night. they were working. they weren't out hanging out afternoon drinking. they were working. we are grateful for their service and grateful for everything that they have done to serve and protect the city. with that i want to take the opportunity to just again thank all of you for being here. happy thanksgiving. with that please help me welcome our executive director of the san francisco chamber of commerce, rodney fong. >> don't go too far. a little bird told me one of your favorite candles is in here. it is a tough year for you. i want to thank you for all of the w

this city is no exception. we need to have an environment in this city where people want to come to work here and be police officers. that doesn't happen without support, and mayor breed, thank you for your support on this. we need the public support, they need my support, and they deserve that if we're asking them to do a very difficult job. so i'm going to go into a little bit more detail before i introduce mary ellen carroll to the microphone. open air drug deals, open air drug dealing, we need consequences. listen, i'm here to talk about what we can control, we, the san francisco police department can control. but when we are using drugs, and some of people that i'm talking about, they have substance addiction issues, they need medical assistance to get through those issues. we have to be compassionate about that, but being compassionate about that doesn't mean we turn a blind's eye to what's happening on the street. the criminal just system has changed. a decade ago, possession of a small amount of heroin

in the city. i uncovered i have to say harrowing memoirs, letters and diaries of the women who suffered enormously when the army came in to berlin, the soldiers were literally drunk on victory and they were drunk and came through and they raped and abused many of the women in berlin. it was very important and a difficult story to tell and a difficult story to read. but it was very important to tell it because it was part of the story that women of berlin would live with this for decades "afterwards". it also explains partly why the women in berlin were so desperate for the americans and british and later the french as well. desperate for them to arrive to bring some sense of order because it's not only a city in ruins, it's a city without any government at all. without electricity or gas or water without anyone, anything. the americans in the city bringing in 25000 troops each, they are coming in to a place of total anarchy. it's important for people to realize just how trashed the city was at the

new york city announces covey vaccine mandate for private businesses going when no city has gone before, because it's potentially unenforceable, and will probably get stuck in the courts until well off to the med to parts at the end of the year. now the new york city mayor expects that this will survive any legal challenges. we already saw a situation where for a moment jo biden's, federal mandate was put on hold by the courts. but then later upheld in the court of appeal. and bill de blasio expects the same exact expects that the courts will uphold this mandate and it will move ahead. now it's important to know the mandate will go into effect on december 27th, which is the day. it's actually 4 days before bill de blasio is set to leave office and be replaced by new york city. mayoral elect, eric adams, the new mayor, will be coming in and replacing bill diblasio. 4 days after the mandate. now eric adams, the incoming mayor, who was elected in the vote a few months ago, says that he plans to meet with people who are critical of the mandate and listen to what they have to say. and if you

in the case of new york city there's 456 stations in new york city. at any given time there are 4 to 5000 train cars running through it, and now it's almost 6million writers . the transit experience was my most satisfying. transit in new york was separate from the city police with 25,000 in the housing police but they were a dumping ground in the sense of police officers people say where you work. i work in transit. well, they just were not well thought of. in two and half years we got the department nationally accredited as the nda. we had a great team working in the union and when i talk about having good relations with unions when we receive national accreditation in santa monica the union paid for the whole 60 person team to go to california. can you imagine that because they felt so proud of about the idea that they had become accredited around gettingthis reputation in new york as the marine corps of new york city police department's . i have so much fun in transit but is also allowed me to reckon later that department across the river because i

beirut madinati literally translates to "beirut, my city." my city. - my city. all right. and the program had the points that everybody wants: housing, green spaces, public spaces, access to jobs, waste management, proper governments. all the normal stuff. normal stuff, but nobody has addressed them at the municipality at all. - but finding a way into the government in lebanon isn't just a matter of climbing the political ladder. from the municipal to the national level, every party is divided along religious lines. that, however, is not the case with beirut madinati. so, it's also the first nonsectarian-based electoral campaign. that's what beirut madinati was pioneering in. we found the right people and we just wrote our list. everybody thought that we wouldn't get anywhere. we got 33% of the votes. wow. and that was huge. but of course, we didn't get into the council, because it's a majoritarian law. you either get everything or you don't. but at the same time, we asserted that change is possible. yes, if you go and vote, you have a voice, you can voice your opinion in

>> president walton: city attorney. >> deputy city attorney, ann pearson. as supervisor preston has shared with this board, the board's authority to enter into these types of contracts for supplemental law, derives from state law and that state law authorizes the board to enter into these contracts with private individuals or private entities to preserve the peace at special events or occurrences that happen on an occasional basis. so the legislation that is before you today was drafted to conform to that law and makes clear that for someone to make a request for these services, they need to be requesting them for a special event or occasional occurrence. so the law doesn't authorize anything more or less than what the state law authorizes. it was drafted to conform to it exactly. if the law is passed, the sheriff will need to develop administrative guidance and will need to draw some lines and figure out how to determine whether a request is precisely for a special event or occasional occurrence or if it goes beyond that and seeks something not authorized

a lot of folks from that town are here in the city. like most immigrant families, my parents wanted a better life for us. my dad came out here first. i think i was almost two-years-old when he sent for us. my mom and myself came out here. we moved to san francisco early on. in the mission district and moved out to daily city and bounced back to san francisco. we lived across the street from the ups building. for me, when my earliest memories were the big brown trucks driving up and down the street keeping us awake at night. when i was seven-years-old and i'm in charge of making sure we get on the bus on time to get to school. i have to make sure that we do our homework. it's a lot of responsibility for a kid. the weekends were always for family. we used to get together and whether we used to go watch a movie at the new mission theater and then afterwards going to kentucky fried chicken. that was big for us. we get kentucky fried chicken on sunday. whoa! go crazy! so for me, home is having something where you are all together. whether i

and this city came together we led the way and we saved lives. and so even though this is an epidemic that's not only affecting our city and the tentder loin, it's a national epidemic. we have to demonstrate through commitment and compassion not only looking the other way, but confronting the problem. i think if there's anything we've demonstrated over the last year and a half under mayor breed's leadership that we can absolutely do this. but it takes us treating it like the emergency and the crisis it is and that's what we're doing today. thank you, mayor breed also as a resident of the coo at the scale of the problem we're facing and you have my full support and partnership. and i want to thank chief carol and director scott and chief kunis for your partnership on it. i want to introduce the person who is going to lead this effort through the covid-19 pandemic bringing together resources, bringing together staff. unprecedented focus and speed to confront a pandemic. we have to do it again with this deadly epidemic of drug overdose. so i want to
