half the san francisco average of 7 percent. that same study also shows that san francisco has one of the highest asian american poverty rates in the nation practically equal to that of los angeles and new york cities. west bay philipinos proposed college prep program will help address those two key findings in that study and as a fairly recent immigrant myself i am very aware of the challenges new philipinos face. we are unable to immediately adapt to demands of life in our new country. that can be addressed by providing culturally sensitive pathways to college. within the context of philipino culture youth will receive college degrees and are able to maximize their earnings potential within the work force, can help lift their own immediate family out of poverty as well as start their even few fuer families on the right foot, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty that's prevalent in our community and well in the city. as you are already aware, san francisco is one of the worst income and social inequality gaps in the country to

, i'm embarrassed to say i live in san francisco. i live in the city of richmond where the chief of police said black lives matter. he said this when he became an officer to protect his community. not one officer has done that in the city of san francisco. i took a ride along because i wanted to be an officer in san francisco and change the community but after seeing what this has come to, there is no way i can become a cop anymore. alex was not just a friend but my brother not by blood but because we shared this love for this city and we are both buddhist and we are both pacificist. it was unfortunate that he was killed by the police department. he was a volunteer for sfpd. for that i want to say i am alex nieto. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> public speaker: good afternoon supervisors. i'm here to alert the supervisors and the public to something that the library has planned for implementation next month that is going to be very damaging to the public general he and especially to teenagers and anyone under 18. tha

we wish every single school-aged child in san francisco would use our wonderful san francisco public schools but when you can't hire enough teachers to be able to have a qualified teacher in every classroom, then that's a problem. so i do think that the city takes some responsibility in this. our families can't live here. our teachers can't live here. our paraprofessionals can't live here and every time a eusf member comes to the board of education and says i can't live here, i have to move, i want to tell them, go to city hall and tell them that, because that is not our jurisdiction, this is your jurisdiction. the housing issue is your jurisdiction. i don't know if you realize our teachers can't ard $5,000 a month for rent. they are a -- they don't serve a capitalistic model, they serve the children of san francisco. and that is noble work and that is hard work and by offering -- i would love to give them a 300 percent raise. we just don't have the funds to do it. but i want to be honest that even if we did, they still couldn't afford to live here. this is a really expensive city. t

general population here in san francisco. and in many other places. and that is because of the phobia and we all know that most of us, and most of all of us who start smoking start smoking before we are 18 and that is the toughest time to grow up as an lgbt person and so anything that is out there that helps to reduce the exposure to our community and all communities to tobacco, and during that period of our lives, and beyond, when we are facing greater stress as we see people and more likelihood that we will turn to tobacco as a means of reliefing that stress. so, thank you very much for your support. and we look forward to your seeing this become a law here in san francisco. >> thank you. >> and i saw that mirium from the grocer association has come here and her name has been called and so she should come forward if you can. the next speaker? >> i am a member of the san francisco prevention coalition and as well as the program director, and for the substance abuse prevention as well and i think that most importantly i am he

francisco and so i think that have you heard about it and there are 1,000 outlets in san francisco and there are licensed to sell the tobacco in the city. most of these located as you now are very well versed in the low income communities, and communities of color and larger populations of youth that is one retailer for 110 youth and that is comparative to generally in california, which is about one outlet for every 254 youth. there are no limits to restrict or to reduce the tobacco, the number of tobacco outlet permits and this means that anyone can get a permit or sell tobacco. tobacco use has a huge cost on the city and we know that the money can be spent, better elsewhere. and the normalization of tobacco sales under minds all of our efforts. they have banned the locations near each other, and we have capped the number per population and another aid, california jurisdictions have also prohited the tobacco outlets or south valley and restaurant and i want to say that we greatly appreciate as well as actively listening to your youth. thank you for your support. >> next speaker? >> i

francisco, and it seemed that that was the quickest solution to providing residential pace in san francisco. and i think the benefits of joining a jpa program are that we would be able to make this available very quickly, we would save a lot of time as opposed to the other options we would do so with the minimal and administrative costs and other tasks that would be the responsibility of the city. that said, city staff is looking forward to working with the program administrator to market the program, help with communications coordinate with the installation contractors and develop an intergrative workforce component that supervisor farrell mentioned and the program data will be made openly available for the city so that we can track our progress and ultimately, regional aggregation provided by the programs will result in the over all vision for the scale for san francisco and may lower the borrowing costs for property owners and it will create jobs and economic assessment while incrisinging home values and it will increase local efficiency and renewal generation and water conservation, to
