1:31 pm
off to a housing champion with us we've been dealing with a number of changes related to our housing element and he's pushed back almost every turn. we've had legislation up here such as a recent fire code amendment by supervisor chan and if a champion that will make that hard to build homes in january and the city attorney to look at whether or not we are unfairly targeted in san francisco and making the same statement that senator wiener said recent actions and we'll list get back to those with we have champions on the board of supervisors looking at for us gracious enough to join us supervisor dorsey to get the housing

1:33 pm
housing production we need we can't do that my are more we are on the hook for 80 thousand units i represent downtown district that will be hurt the most if we fail to this up to the housing element we risk the loss of state funding more affordable housing and potentially the loss of local control tooth i've seen is again and again in the building in san francisco and example for good things but sometimes when he had something wrong and my biggest fear we are attempting fate and the the good, good will of the many of the state regulators before sticking a thump 23 in their ease to facilitate the production of housing here and again, a lot of that goes back to the city attorney's office i thought grateful to working in
1:34 pm
but no accident that housing champions like scott wiener and me came out of that office had a front row seats to the gamemanship we need that housing i'm proud to be with the xaernts and the housing action coalition and everyone in the housing moment 4re9s do what we need to do thanks so much. >> thank you supervisor dorsey for your support everyday on it had critical issue and sprinkle in a couple of highlights recently supervisors heard an appeal of 395 sacramento street the one one on the only supervisor didn't vote in the housing president peskin and
1:35 pm
another example how they stymied heirs and a speaker our london breed been a strong champion and continues to push that (yelling). >> (clapping) thank you, jay. >> thank you to the northern california are carpenter and supervisor stefani who by the human rights coalition and all the folks that continue to fight for the much needed hours we need to build in san francisco i want to take us back i feel like that's been really tragic that for so many years had to fight the same battle and everyone talks about being think housing advocate and pushing more affordable housing and what was not happening in the stay by when they have an opportunity of to make it easier to produce housing they create opportunity to destroy research to move
1:36 pm
forward. and as someone who grew up here sadly i saw so many of my friends move from san francisco ways they couldn't afford to live here and seen people hard work the carpenters and other organizations move away from san francisco because they cal state university afford to live and here and making sure that san francisco is a place for all again increasing a place you make a lot of money and can afford to live here, or you're lucky any enough to see a family what a house you're lucky enough to inherent or qualify more affordable housing and what happens to everyone else? we we have to fend for ourselves and figure out while we continue to put obstruction in policies before us that make it, too difficult to build we're sick 6
1:37 pm
people so to speak out boo side of their mouth this is not just about trying to build housing no. you now that is to making sure the next generation of san franciscans growing up here can afford to live here i remember when i ran for mayor one of the only persons to support scott wiener that sb loud for the intensity of san francisco and people said you'll lose the raise you're supported there and building more housing in place where housing to stuck and what i said how many of you were born and raised in san francisco or been here more than 14th century had 5 years all the hands went up my kid went to galla high school and sfoort and asked how many of your kids live here he
1:38 pm
can recall any hands went up that's what we're fashioned if if we move in the same direction and expecting to getting is a different result the place is more coastal not just because the the record will reflect interest rates and material because how long it takes us to go through a process through the board of supervisors there land use we already have policies in place. this is not asking for something but i but allowing us without the layers of bury through to process but able be able to build more units not asking for a health there but asking you not to kill had legislation by save density bonus didn't apply here's the
1:39 pm
problem we loss out of the opportunity to build more and to make sure that people who work here can afford to live here have almost 4 vacancy position because many of the workforce can't afford to live in san francisco how will we maintain the streets and get our muni buses to the place they need to be on time and potholes and do all the essential services when people can't afford to live here at this time what that is making sure three we build more housing and build more housing farther. what president peskin is what we don't the i'm by to industry housing production to stop us in moving forward this poison pill is another creative way in stopping that i'm sick of his shall think begins endless
1:40 pm
poeshtsd (clapping.) we wonder was going wrong in the city every time i look around way to say no. you can't build how no, not starting it new businesses no, no, no, no this it city is 2345 terrors for noticing what is happening 2450 the ward of supervisors chambers no gist respect supervisor stefani supervisor dorsey we don't have the luxury to say no we've been interest a pandemic and people are waiting in line to move into the city but build office in san francisco peep were waiting on a line to visit the hotels full of tourism where it was booming now we said no too often that is a problem 7, 8, 9 for us to get to, yes and
1:41 pm
provide time for us to build more housing now (clapping.) enough with it in no, no, no, no. >> invocal cord in the conversation time to get to, yes yes, yes, yes, yes more housing yes more opportunity and, yes a better opportunity and, yes a workforce can afford to live here and peep with abductions yes, yes, yes housing now thank you, (clapping.) thank you, mayor london breed i couldn't say it better myself and, yes. just a play back another fin hit president peskin has taken a road show we
1:42 pm
reportedly asked the room do we have a housing crisis? that tells us what we're talking about and someone who provides a perspective from professional experience one of my neighborhood the carpenters to talk about how we want to support building anymore homes (clapping) thank you. >> thank you, jane and mayor london breed and supervisor dorsey for decades the carpenters unions watched as thousands of members working class people were forced out of san francisco because of housing shortages we watched our members are commuting to sacramento stockton and mo deft and fresno
1:43 pm
and watching as the housing crisis tears apart working class community as a tears apart our climate and infrastructure we watched coa the state residential construction becomes a crime scene of production were nearly 100 percent of workforce is subject to expiration and human trafficking. so the carpenters said enough is enough. working with community groups a strong partner including mayor london breed including supervisor dorsey and is a matter of fact, are wiener owe challenges like 18 to 12 and sb 4 and finally finally allows the missing middle to be built in the communities that need it the most and lifting up all
1:44 pm
construction w prevailing wage and healthcare and real enforcement but again southern segments certain politicians want to play games and politics with housing in san francisco and undermine the state law we fought for and lake theirs while tell thousands of union construction works that there is no plays for in the san francisco not to work and certainly not to live when you play politics with housing you're playing politics are people's lives i'm a richmond school resident and a lifelong member i thought to see more housing and opportunities for my neighbors for my daughter how can we say no to housing our schools are losing thousands of students request no place to go
1:45 pm
in san francisco how can we say no to workers when their toiling in the underground economy and not to building more housing for future generations an honest question for president peskin if with owe don't build more housing where will children likely to the carpenters are here today as mayor london breed to say yes (clapping.) to send a strong message to the board of supervisors and a president peskin enough the games let's build and lift occupy all workers thank you, (clapping.) thank you, dan and it is critically important three we address this not just for today but for future generations of san francisco to live. just another great comment from
1:46 pm
president peskin in january he authored a resolution to oppose sb 591 from scott wiener unfortunately, couldn't join us in sacramento to soft will housing shortage would have developed housing for those who don't live in the richmond a safe way parking lot to so more homes and should have a process but city protect that. we're proud to joined of he couldn't be here from a representative from scott weiner's office jeff. >> (clapping) good afternoon. i'm michelle as jane said scott wiener many sacramento couldn't be here but a statement we're here but 347z
1:47 pm
has been leading obstruction in the campaign to score cheap political points and scott wiener is the convert anti housing politician by oppose is progressive reform by this creates on ending brugsz to process eased city hall and feeling the excise president peskin has a long partner of housing reform and is against housing we need to crystal clear not progressively to make it harder to build now homes and obstruction of housing in the middle of a housing crisis and not progressively to walk through the development of housing for the climate friendly city and san francisco is a place that welcomes people of all background and care forcing
1:48 pm
these and to combat criticize and president peskin anti hours are not progressive and don't reflective the city's values and last month quieted equivocated made and statement based on my work to make sure that san francisco is building enough homes and unlike president peskin it is making it easier for building of the new home, aye. >> by contrast (clapping.) president peskin continuing obstruction of mia any homes harms us and in recent years san franciscans are for pro housing champions and president peskin represents updated reviews and stop using obstruction to gain political power
1:49 pm
