director brinkman. >> thank you. jonathan, leo, thank you both so much and all of your staff, the work has been amazing, from the very first discussions about budget at the board workshop, we've been able to go in depth into this and you've taken all of the feedback and you've come back with what i think is a good compromise and intend to support this. i just want to note that when we first start the wited with clipd offering a discount, i was 100% all in on clipper. i was looking at the golden gate ferry or whenever one was losing clipper that went to a high adoption rate so quickly and thought, we could do that and go there. but the big difference is, our riding public just doesn't have access to clipper load sites. bart is so lucky, there are clipper machines at every bart station. so if you're riding bart, you have access to reload your clipper card and so much of the city doesn't have that and we need to keep that in mind. as much as i would love us to go 100% to clipper, you're right, it's cheaper than running

commissioner -- director ethan and brinkman have experience in transportation -- public transport. and director borden, significant experience in government. and how nominees yekutiel and heinz fit into that, our thinking in why we put their names forward, their experienced on commissions, which we can observe part of government and bringing community process to government is important aspects of that and the ability to build the coalitions and make sure the coalitions are represented in government, as well as their individual experience, both with the small business community. not to speak for him, but mr. yekutiel has been very engaged in aspects of sfmta that are not public transport specifically. i realize that is not the named qualification, but we think is relevant. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. ms. pearson, can you direct this body to the actual language -- and i am now looking for the appropriate charter section for collectively read. >> sure, it's section 8a, 102 of the charter. subsection a, the second paragraph. it starts with -- >> supervisor peskin: hold on. my comp

next up is director brinkman >> director brinkman: director hinze, great comments. i agree with all of the questions that you asked. shannon really good responses. i think that it's important to help drivers understand how do you as a car driver use the slow street and when are you behaving correctly and when you might be behaving that makes the other street userrers nervous. it's a really good idea. comments that really resonated with me was children who called in with the help of their parents. thank you parents for facilitating that. that's not easy. i know it takes a bit of time. thank you, kids, for calling it. it reminds me, there's a lot of people ask, they build our cities for the children. they can't drive. they're going to be using these streets decades and decades longer than any of us. let's build these streets correctly for the kids now, create that network of slow streets. we'll all adapt to it going forward. i was in union city not too long ago dropping something off for a former coworker. people celebrated they live on a cul-de-sac. these are our ver

and director brinkman, i think as some. >> yes, thank you chair borden. i recently was sent the lasco, the local agency formation commission report that was the findings of a survey from on demand ride hail and delivery workers in san francisco. and i had a chance to read the survey results issued regarding on demand ride hail and delivery workers and i look forward to centimetre mfta working and supporting lasco to accept and implement the recommendations of the report in particular those pertaining to health and safety of the workers and the public. we have a lot of opportunities to make sure that these services, which the public has shown that they value a lot, can be delivered in a way which is not harmful to the workers or the city. i think that helping move delivery workers to more sustainable modes, such as electric assisted bicycles from cars, fits with so many of our city goals and making sure the workers are being treated fairly is just basic human rights. i look forward to staff being able to work with lasco on that. >> great, thank you. >> any

line up, and -- [applause] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> who is samantha brinkman? >> a criminal defense lawyer. she left the office a few years back and is in private practice and struggling to make a name for herself and bring her practice to the major league. she has had a tortured past, she herself was probably twisted at birth anyway and the combination has made her someone unusual. there is a suggestion she is free to ignore and frequently does. >> host: is there a certain breed for a defense attorney? >> guest: good question. i am not sure. certainly defense lawyers have a very different mandate that a prosecutor does. a prosecutor has to think about a fair trial for everyone as an ethical obligation to make sure it is not just about getting a conviction but getting a conviction in a fair way so everyone's rights are protected. the defense has no such obligation. a defense attorney only has to take care of his or her client. that is samantha. she only worries about her client, doesn't worry about what is fair, she worries about winning and that is the only t

the way in which samantha brinkman goes about investigating her case and her clients, the the way she uses media and twitter and all the rest of our current society, legally as well as socially i tried to make it as realistic as possible. >> social media in 1994. what would that trial have been like. >> can you imagine? i can't even think about it. it scares me. imagine if that kind of high profile case happened today with twitter and snapchat and instagram. it would be mind-boggling. you never hear the end of it. even as it was during that trial , back then it was new and there is this office machine because nobody had personal facts and they were blowing up the fax machine. we were getting thousands of faxes a day from people commenting on the case. it was crazy. i can't imagine social media. but what i can imagine is with our cell phone technology, at the the very least thinking about scientific advances that we've made, just cell phone technology alone would make a big difference because we could tell, based on what people are doing with their cell phones where they are. imagine i

cheryl brinkman. >> yes. first, i want to say thank you to staff who i know are just working flat out on projects. they are working a lot of overtime, they have so many competing demands on their time, and in such uncertain times during this time. i just want to remind the public that staff is working so hard to not only keep the system going but to work on all of our emergency transit projects that are going to keep this city moving, so be sure to keep that in mind this time of year. and the other thing i wanted to talk about, we have a lot of new measures enacted during the emergency, and i would just ask us all to remember our strategic plan goals when it comes time for considering those projects to be made permanent. i know sometimes competing criteria can get caught up with the flood of e-mails and the flood of feedback that we get from our constituents, but let's just remember we have strategic plan goals, and we need to keep those in mind as we talk about making a lot of those projects permanent. thank

. >> brinkman predicted home sales will rise 11% from this year. and that will show up -- and that will show up as well in a 12% increase in purchase originations. but he says refis in 2010 will decline 40% after a 60% surge this year. that's all thanks to mortgage rates which he believes will climb out of their record lows to end at 5.6%. mortgage rates will depend heavily on how the fedex tracts itself from buying fannie and freddie loans. >> i think there are a lot of people at the federal reserve looking at that same question right now. we're looking at it also. but the potential there is adding minimum perhaps a 20 basis point uptick in mortgage rates, and some of the estimates ranging considerably higher than that, if the transition is not adequately managed. >> brinkman is also concerned about the jumbo loan market which he called frozen right now. a great story on the las vegas real estate market. >> thank you, diana. >>> we heard earlier from the ceo on financial regulation, attending this big conference in new york. attending this big ko

brinkman their profits, as viewed... they provide thejobs. brinkman is is very nice to talk about, "no deal is better than a bad deal", but results ina better than a bad deal", but results in a situation where i call up your argument of flexibility, britain has to be flexible... to the hilt! flexible, britain has been entirely to flexible. so far, so far that has not happened. we have discussed the trade element, more on that to come. janet, while you are here, you talk about soundings ta ken janet, while you are here, you talk about soundings taken from people very much inside westminster, your view, this week map as to theresa may herself, how long she will hold this out, we are always interested to ask for inside news on this on dateline? she will carry through with the negotiation period because they could not switch horses in midstream but i don't think she will carry on to the next election. —— dateline. if you want my tip as to who will be the leader of the conservative party, i would say, sajid javid, and has played a blinder, he
