that includes tens of thousands of san francisco resident, 10 thousand more that work in san francisco but do not live in san francisco, san francisco has been a huge success, all it takes to perceive for the future is to get the obama administration to recognize that it's a unique program and make some regulatory allowances unique for its design, this should not be controversial, healthy san francisco has a [inaudible] for healthy care reform and our national representative ares at the forefront of making the aca as strong as they could, but during this, we will ensure the health of san francisco remain a model for others to follow and doesn't allow us to enroll backwards. some people currently receive coverage through healthy san francisco will require for medi cal care and many will not, we estimate 3 to 4 million californians will remain uninsured even after the aca is fully implemented at the same time public hospitals will face cuts and dsh payment and the alignment fund, employers payment under health care sans fra*ns will be crucial. thank you, sir. >> thank you, sir, i'm going

we need to do a lot in san francisco to encourage young people and young families to stay in san francisco. i think we are missing out on a lot of our diversity when young families leave our city. we need to do all we can to be mindful of the needs of young families in the city. we mentioned housing. schools are a big deal. but also being able to be flexible with transportation and children. >> what is happening with crime in your district? give me your thoughts on how you think the police are doing with respect to crime in your district? >> i think we are very fortunate in district two. we have a number of great police captains that oversee the stations that touched district two. richmond and northern are the two major police stations that touched the district. we do have a lot of crime in district 2. both crimes against individuals but also against merchants along our merchant corridors. chestnut. union in particular has been hit. fillmore and sacramento. it is a big deal. we also have the break-ins. we need to be very mindful that people keep their iphones and laptops out of sight. but

the summer that i sent in san francisco. coming from zurich we can certainly identify that. >> i am not here to adorn myself with borrowed plants, however the size difference between the two cities alone and the concerns that go along with it makes that impossible. but i would like to underline a few traits which are entirely not alien to us in zurich. the attractiveness of the tee is the economic location, the innovative spirit and the creative minds, the fact that the city is a renowned center for research and the home of a number of reputed universities or the fact that those cities are home to almost every language in the world. and where we are cap able of having both psycho paths and holding the super bowl. in your case, or building a brand new soccer stadium in ours, we hope so. one of the questions that we have all asked ourselves is how can a city emerge from the crisis? and another is, will the economic success of one part of the population prove to be the expensive, or too expensive for some of the other inhabitan

how rich is san francisco library. the medium and mean budgets for the libraries in this group is 28 and $38 million. san francisco public libraries budget was when this was reported $92 million more than triple the average. now why do i talk about the san francisco library because we should be getting the best service from that library and we're not. the library has instituted a program for so-called increases in hours and a while the total number of hours is increasing they continue to cut evenings and in one case weekend times what people say they want most. they tried initially in may to come up with a program that would cut 42 sessions every week in the city. we'd like the peripheries to pay attention to moor the library does not cut weekend hours but it adds evening and weekend hours that it increases the open hours at the mainland libraries which is the worse of the comparison libraries and it should stop the reduction of days. thanks very much >> hi good afternoon. i'm barry. today is face and morning day from

i want to express my gratitude to the san francisco library for the last ten years and there is san francisco government tv and this is going to be broadcast throughout the year. so thank you. i would like to thank julie tron from the bar association. the bar association has been our partners in terms of providing defense for poor people. in cases where the public defender is not able to provide representation, those cases are handled by the private bar and they are doing an incredible job. so thank you very much for that. i want to thank jose as a who is a public defender and here to celebrate with us. we are going to start today by showing a brief video explaining the gideon decisions >> take this empty lot. today you would never know it but history was made here. mostly all is gone and so are the people. the principle they left is still standing. it was almost as bad at life. >> it was a constitutional hero, but the cases that come to the court don't come from the winners in society. they come from the losers. clarence gideon was involved in the justice system since he was a kid. he had be

my name is [inaudible] and work with san francisco wrap around project san francisco general hospital. i want to say that the man that just spoke he's a hero. he's saved lives at san francisco general hospital. when there were two rival gang members that come to the hcht because there is a shooting this man stuck his neck out for the public good to negotiate a diplomatic peace agreement on site within 10 minutes to half an hour and he provides a competency to the hospital that is extremely difficult to provide because he grew up here in the city and he knows the people in the neighborhood. he understands the culture, the streets and he's a public health professional, so we're here today to ask the city and county of san francisco and board of supervisors to support the increase for our budget. we haven't had a increase in four years and we want to thank supervisor john avalos and eric mar and london breed for assisting us and pushing forward our budget ask and we also want to say because of the increase in cost of living that is driving up poverty for a percentage of the city while so

san francisco. it's surrounded by water for takeoff and landing. there is an industrial complex there as well as an office park. the terminal itself is really out of the way of downtown san francisco as you sort of heading down highway 101 heading south. it is just off to the left in the bay part of san francisco, not on the ocean side but the bay side of san francisco. it is surrounded by water as coastal airports often are for safety purposes. it is considerably away from the residential population of san francisco. again, asiana airlines, boeing 777 from south korea according to flight tracker, it left south korea and final destination was supposed to be san francisco international airport, sfo as it is known. >> heather: you said this earlier, our producer told us the faa is confirming the crash happened which clearly it has. another eyewitness saying it happened around 11:30 a.m. at san francisco international airport. the plane was just about to land according to this witness and you've said t

i don't feel that this legislation is geared towards the san francisco family and most san francisco families can't live here, do things like improved affordable housing and transit and schools and this is scoring popularity points about small businesses. thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> >> hi, good evening, commissioners my name is kelley dyer, and i am a contract officer with the city of san francisco and i work an 8-5 schedule and yes, it is dinner time but my 3-year-old here cannot be at homemaking dinner by herself so i need to be with her. currently my child care provider spends more time with my child than i do and that is difficult sometimes. i support this because i would like the option to be able to ask for the flexibility and be protected in that right to ask for a more flexible schedule. and i would just like to have the flexibility to spend a little pit more time with my kids during the week. and i think that it is a reality to have to work and times have changed in 2010, in san francisco, with at least, it was helpful with at least one child. 81 percent were in t

of city college of san francisco. so, proposition a was supported by 73% of the electorate last fall. (applause) >>> even in tough times, city college of san francisco has consistently chosen to affirm san francisco's value of inclusion, accessibility and diversity. at the forum we held last thursday night, and we thank supervisor avalos for co-sponsoring along with the san francisco labor council and assembly member tom ammiano's office, one of the questions that was asked by one of the students who was there was, why would you want to take away the starting line? starting line is so important. doesn't make any sense to take away the starting line when we're trying to help so many students from so many different walks of life get to the finish line. so, we know that city college of san francisco can be better. we think we can do better fiscal tracking and have better efficiencies. our employees all over the college, for instance, would really like to get paychecks that were accurate. that's very important to the folk

, downtown san francisco proper. one of the 30 busiest airport -- airports worldwide. 37 million people flying through this airport. obviously a very proficient airport, and for this to happen on a saturday afternoon obviously tragic. we don't know exactly what went wrong here, but obviously something did. >> oh, absolutely. and what we can say, of course, is san francisco, like l.a.x., they are the major asian pacific gateways for the united states. looking at the pictures now, hearing what jim tillmon said, hearing what the other eyewitness has said about how this plane spun round after the tail hit the ground, we can start to -- we won't -- we will not -- let me -- let's be absolutely blunt and clear. we will not know why this tail hit the end of the runway at the early stage that it did for many weeks, if not months, until the ntsb produces its first interim and then final report. but clearly what we can now see, of course, is the crownolohrono events as stated by eyewitnesss. you've got to go back quite some tim

in many ways san francisco has a special responsibility here. lots of cities are investing in opening data. that's a lot of supply. you need the demand side to prove to the city it's worthwhile and to prove to the public you can build an ecosystem there. we can do things with that whether bottom up activities, gray area or private companies. so, it's a moment of real burst of innovation and the landscape changes as the public and private sides come together. >> i very much agree with everything that was said. i'll add that in addition to the public sector, at the city level for open data disclosures and the private sector i can also speak to how important this is at the federal government level as well as we continue to work with cities across america to get more open data sets released, to the question about the history and we really look to recent examples to see the dura power of open data sets. my favorite examples are weather when weather data was released, weather channel.com and many others, and gps global positioning system. we know the

that's the latest here in san francisco. jean elle. back to you. >> that jewelry mart is a massive ware house style building. it's been in business for years now. one of the stores is victoga. it's been in business for 26 years. the jewelry mart is shopping by appointment only. it's a very secure location 689. >>> i want to show you this. this is a live chopper we're looking at right now of the traffic in the area. we mentioned a couple hours ago, the traffic had completely been shut down in this area. as police were securing the area. now it's been reopened. that's 9th street and brannon you're looking at. the traffic is moving on brannon. this is such a congested area o a normal day that today it's just pure gridlock right there. because this is the way that you try to get on the freeway to get on 80 to try to get to the east bay. so it's very, very difficult to get around. the chopper is pulling back now so you can get a better aerial view. earlier today, townsend was closed. so this entire area leads you to the china basin, can lea

then i came back, and choosing to live in san francisco was natural to me. when you are a child, you do not realize what you had until you leave home. i had the opportunity to live in los angeles, abroad in ireland, and there is no place like home, when you are from san francisco. i have been a corporate attorney at palo -- in palo alto. i became an >> i worked in the finance industry about 5 1/2 years. in the summer of 2009 i joined a venture capital firm with two other partners. >> we are all excited about the americas cup here in district two but one thing if you think about it everyone knows what fleet week is like here in the marina. this is fleet week on steroids. think about fort mason, these will be the most brings taken places to watch the americas cup. what we're working on and working to continue to work on and want your input on, how do we make it a positive experience for the people that live here. >> i'm happily married and my life and -- wife and i live around laurel village. we have two children, five around they. we are proud parents and now

the peninsula of san francisco. the planes land up the bay, actually going to the west, landing on runway 28. that's when the plane crash occurred. again, the fire coming from the right side. other pictures we have seen seem to indicate severe wing damage on that side. the tail of the aircraft is also off. here's some still pictures we received a few minutes ago. passengers getting off the airplane. the fire continues to burn for some time. the good news, good to see people coming off the airplane. we want to go to tom castillo in washington. he's been in touch with the faa. tom, what are you hearing? >> caller: what we know is this was a 777. coming in from south korea. that would be from seoul at the airport there. at the end of a very long flight, lester, that would mean probably not a lot of fuel on board, which could be of assistance in an emergency like this. we don't yet know the number of people on board. as you said, it can carry, depending on the configuration, more than 400 passengers or carry in the 300s

we think that showing that san francisco has a choice right now to step up and say healthy san francisco is the way to go, we're not going to give into the growing pressures of taking investment out of the community and say this is an antipoverty program, we want health care to resound and a right of all san franciscans and all californians, so we're asking for your leadership. >> thank you, sir, next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors, thank you so much for being here at this important hearing, my name is ali and i've been a registered nurse here for 36 years now, to consider weakening any part of healthy san francisco now when there is so much that's unknown about the affordable care act is concerning. the employer spending requirement needs to remain in place and that's really important. i have a story i would like to tell you, i'm sure we all have stories but this is a friend of my daughter, a 28 year-old full time restaurant worker would was born and raised in san francisco, he was in a serious accident last year, on his way to work, he was on a scooter and a bicyclist ran a re

and many facilities in san francisco have high percentages of patients who don't reside in san francisco. and, so, their patient base who they owe equal treatment care, those outside of san francisco, they have to address that, too. so, and some of these can be as small as 5,000 square feet. so, i would be a little bit concerned about trying to be too strict about geographic locations or the other requirements that you tried to put onto these facilities because along as they're running a medical facility which is reputable and the care is high level care, they're a benefit for our city, regardless of who their patient base may be. and as was pointed out, we do have a small city, and i guess the furthest anyone is from even a major hospital is about 2-1/2 miles, might be 3 miles in san francisco. so, compared to places in the east bay and the central valley, you travel much further. and the other thing' more important more so than the hospital is the outpatient treatment centers because most of the care is going to be done there. hospitalization is where it's more serious or a emergency t

plan is about preserving healthy san francisco, we're here today to talk about why healthy san francisco and the health care security ordinance is still really important even with obama care, so locally under the health care security ordinance, the minimum workers is 20 but if the ordinance was replaced by the affordable care act, the minimum would be raised to 50. this is important because lez people would be covered or get health care and businesses and instead businesses should also share the profits by helping the workers get health care. the health care security ordinance would secure that more workers would get health care and health care is the human right and everyone should have the right to access health care regardless of their income. thank you. >> thank you. i'm going to call a few more names.
