<strong><span style="color: mediumblue;">1. Justice Denied at Fillmore Park Townhomes </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;">E<span style="color: black;">ditorial by Jed Crawford</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">The land laid vacant for more than 20 years before ground broke in 2010 to build 32 affordable townhomes. For many people this was a long time coming and seen as a new opportunity for people who lost their homes from “eminent domain” and to have something to pass down to their loved ones. But through a technicality, money going unused and a Mayor’s Office of Housing program that favors outsiders, “Urban Renewal” is alive and well at Fillmore Park Townhomes. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;">The Mayor’s Office of Housing through a technicality is determining which children can receive redress from the acquisition of their parent’s property and defining what it means to be displaced using the <u>P</u><u>roperty Owner and Occupant Preference Program (Certificate of Preference Program)</u>, as stated in a resolution by the Redevelopment Agency, which leaves out thousands of people. During the 60’s and 70’s if a child was born after the parents homes were taken by the “Agency” their “Certificate of Preference” could not be passed down. This doesn’t take into account people who were denied the right to buy a home, or were forced out of their apartments and businesses.<br /><br />Another unfortunate situation is the City is sitting on 4 million dollars set aside to assist Certificate of Preference holders with purchasing a home. The townhomes only cost $200K-$300K and 4 million dollars can purchase twelve townhomes, why isn’t the City loaning “Certificate of Preference” holders the money needed to get in? At a meeting in July of 2012, Michael Simmons (developer of Fillmore Park Townhomes) explained “about 1000 people registered online at our website for Fillmore Park Townhomes and 32 are Certificate of Preference Holders.” He continued, “Six of the 32 applied. Three could not secure a loan and dropped out. One dropped out because... only wanted a three bedroom… and didn’t have the house hold size to meet the program. One dropped out because… felt the units were too small. One is still active.”<br /><br />In conclusion, the program of the Mayor’s Office of Housing is working against Certificate of Preference holders by not setting aside all or a portion of the townhomes for them which is in line with the very aim of the development to bring justice and healing to the community. Instead the Mayor’s Office of Housing is using the same “debt” strategy that the SFRA used and creating a false sense of pressure and urgency to sell townhomes while ignoring the needs of Certificate of Preference holders and not taking the appropriate steps to define the meaning of “displaced”. The Mayor’s Office’s is requiring the developer to borrow the City’s own money, borrow from a bank and then sell townhomes to pay everyone back; rather than using the City’s land and money to leverage and find grants to raise the small amount of money needed to build and sell.<br /><br />Pamela Sims of the Mayor’s Office of Housing is the current contact person for the monitoring of this program. According to Ms. Sims as of October 26, 2012<br />twenty-one of the units have closed, 9 are in contract and two units are remaining. I sent an email to Ms. Sims last week Nov. 28<sup>th</sup> and asked how many of the people that moved in our Certificate of Preference holders and requested a meeting with her to discuss setting aside the remaining two townhomes for Certificate of Preference holders. </span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">(Guest Contributor)</span></span><br />
<div style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">More than 100 homes in and around the Fillmore area are in foreclosure, as homeowners here and across the country continue to struggle with mortgage debt. Since 2007, more than 4 million American homes have been foreclosed upon, with millions more homeowners teetering on the edge of default.<br /><br />Losing one's home can be a devastating blow to families that, for one reason or another – job loss, medical emergency, other debts – are finding it difficult to meet their monthly mortgage payments.<br /><br />However, being proactive can help avoid foreclosure, and there are steps delinquent mortgagees can take in order to either remain in their homes and communities.<br /><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="http://flfna.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-manage-debt-and-proactively.html" href="http://flfna.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-manage-debt-and-proactively.html" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">(Read Entire Post)</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I am very curious about how Teaching first fell from its
upper most prestigious position, because it had to have one. That’s when they
should have gone on strike, some special moment was missed. If you look at
doctors, lawyers, policeman, or fireman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It takes a real query eye to restrain from passively
passing judgment when explaining why our American public school system is in so
much disarray. The most quintessential excuse behind every categorically
deteriorating facet of this failing public education system is money. The
bureaucrats will acknowledge this theory; then when it comes to supporting it
with an intellectual Harvard style government research order in place; they’ve
somehow managed to convince the main population that they’ve got some soul
searching to do.( <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">it’s usually said we as
a nation</i>) The bottom line is our fore founders, the system developers, with
a twist of good and bad intention, built a greed based government that won’t
ever allow us to fix this mess .I have three things that I think would change
our American school system in a real hurry.</span></div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Develop laws making education more sacred.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Create a more unified global fundraising for the school system.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Have more appreciation for our teachers.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The ultimate factor of persuasion to me of the three
is developing laws making our childhood and teen education way more sacred than
what we the people uphold it to. They told us with their whispering voices that
they were capitalist. We have heard all the stories about Benjamin franklin,
Einstein, Abe Lincoln, and those other old intellects that set this good
country on the right track.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean, just
look at our well-structured legal system, with its house on one side, and its,
I forget the specifics, but I remember it’s kind of like a space-age security
lock. This side doesn’t move without that side, the president can’t yell
without congress authorizing it etc…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As algebraic as thou constituents were, they couldn’t
calculate greed, and its innate ability to recruit new greedy members to its greedy
society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I try to imagine the last human
being on his last day. They foresaw crime, even to the Supreme Court level. NASA
was created in effort to appeal to our country’s nosey control desires. First arrived
the digital age, then the computer takeover; all monumental periods of our
life, but with all our technological advancements, why have public schools
fallen by the wayside of our political agendas? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Let’s be honest, when American’s want something law
related passed, I figure if you give them until Monday, it will be a law
proposed on the ballot. It’s all a matter of who’s who in the core of the
ballots benefits that’s being brought up. One of the oldest areas of sacredness
in our world is religion. But in this pace of Big I’s and little U’s, every
norm as we know it must and will be re-evaluated for a more worldly collective
opinion. Their opinion is clear; there is no time to slow down and lift those
that’s not already in a position to be lifted. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another option I have come up with is creating a more
unified global fundraising device for the American Public School System. The American
Public School System is like an accused criminal left to rot in jail with no
attorney, no bail, and no court date. Everybody knows firsthand its value, none
of us could have gotten to step two without the basic essentials from
elementary school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But if this fact is
so true, why do you have to listen hard to barely hear a voice of defense. Please
explain why there aren’t any of those agencies that demand money instead of
asking to ensure proper funds, sort of like DMV, or Superior Court.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Zillions of dollars are raised for causes like Breast
Cancer, Muscular Dystrophy, and Aids are raised daily city to city in the U.S.,
but how has it that education for our kids didn’t match the same intensity of
importance as any other life threatening matters. It took until 2010, and the
Healthy School Lunch Law to see how neglected that area was. How many small
laws does it take to reach a complete overhaul? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The world of non-profit declaration extends the earths
boundaries. Zillions of dollars are strategically distributed via political one
ways and tooled for government decided agendas. Once any particular community
combines a voice of reason, immediate funds tend to gravitate. I’m sure some
corporate write-offs would blow my mind. So many Government or City and County
buildings are worth millions of dollars or more. The funding process was
probably faster than seamless. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But if someone asks a principal at some of the poorer
public schools about their 2012 budget versus their agenda and expectations, it
might reveal the real truth about what our world respects of our public
schools. Every parental letter involves sending some type of money for this or
that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember thirty years ago, and
those meals at school were terrible. Now that I’m a parent of a fifth grader, I
am very attentive to how she is treated by a system with even less funds than it
had when I was in school. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The downside to anticipation without legislation is;
it’s always somebody not guilty, no accountability. In other words, there have
been previous attempts to do some mild helpful reform. There have been some
financial mishandlings, but how long will we stare at the tentacles instead of
targeting the body of this beast that’s against our families’ proper growth.
Because even if they declare and allocate the needed funding, unless the laws
and penalties reflect something different, those in charge will continue to
make politically based decisions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My third, but definitely not the least important to me
is having more appreciation for our teachers. I won’t talk specifics, although
I’ve heard something’s’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I can
remember I heard about teachers being underpaid and overworked. And with the
nature of their work, you never hear about from them, their too sweet for that,
although it might seep out their pores. It’s not hard to notice a need a certain
teacher might need help fulfilling. If I were to write a job description about
a teaching job, it would simply headline “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">be

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am very curious about how Teaching first fell from
its upper most prestigious position, because it had to have one. That’s when
they should have gone on strike, some special moment was missed. If you look at
doctors, lawyers, policeman, or fireman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Comparatively, what could you take away from giving a lifetimes worth of
essentials to many parent’s prize possessions daily, it should seem priceless. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m sure even if we gave our teachers a voice, it
would still be a minority up against the majority vote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are who we are, yet everybody just can’t
admit it. Our wholesome society prefers categories and separation, preferences
and partitions. Over-population, and capitalism and human behavior combined
create an entire new dynamic to face living in America. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The irony is,
the same little monsters that the teachers help mold with juice, graham
crackers, and nursery rhymes, is the same adult monsters that perpetuates the
un-appreciation of our American Public School teacher, and will further ensure the
school systems deterioration. And furthermore, the same system that is the
victim in this narrative is to blame for its own results. The pioneering
objectives have transitioned from common settlers protecting the Holy Grail of
capitalism; to firewalling a never ending flow of crucial knowledge now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">How to Manage Debt and Proactively Avoid Foreclosure</span></span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">More than 100
homes in and around the Fillmore area are in foreclosure, as homeowners here
and across the country continue to struggle with mortgage debt. Since 2007, more
than 4 million American homes have been foreclosed upon, with millions more
homeowners teetering on the edge of default.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Losing one's
home can be a devastating blow to families that, for one reason or another –
job loss, medical emergency, other debts – are finding it difficult to meet
their monthly mortgage payments. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">However, being
proactive can help avoid foreclosure, and there are steps delinquent mortgagees
can take in order to either remain in their homes and communities.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mortgage Modification</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today, many
foreclosures are the product of the sub-prime mortgage crisis the country
encountered the past few years. The sub-prime mortgages had adjustable rates,
which have risen to alarming rates. There are steps however, for homeowners to
modify their adjustable rates to low, fixed rates that can help relieve some
financial pressure. In the first instance, a borrower can attempt to work out a
mortgage modification with his or her lender. This can take the form of a
temporary reduction in principal or interest rate, temporary forbearance — i.e.
skipping a few payments — extending the term of the loan, or any combination
thereof.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Help for Homeowners</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Almost half of
the mortgages in the country are held by five big banks — Wells Fargo, JPMorgan
Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Ally Financial. In a settlement reached
in early 2012 among these institutions, the federal government and 49 state
attorneys general, these lenders are required to spend at least $13 billion
reducing the principal amounts of loans for at-risk borrowers, whose homes are
under water – meaning they are </span>worth less than what is owed on them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Homeowners with loans serviced by one of these
lenders should contact them to find out about a loan modification.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The other half of America's mortgages are owned or guaranteed by either
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the two large mortgage lenders that are now part of
the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or the Veterans Administration, which backs
VA loans. Currently, loans in this category are not subject to principal
reduction, but under the government's Home Affordable Modification Program
(HAMP), homeowners can apply to have their monthly payments reduced via
interest rate reduction and/or forbearance. The aim of HAMP is to keep people
in their homes by preventing default and subsequent foreclosure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bankruptcy</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A final step a delinquent borrower can take to save a home from
foreclosure is to declare a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This path allows all </span><a href="http://www.debt.org/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">debts</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">, including mortgage payments, to be paid
off over a period of several years. Filing a bankruptcy petition can
temporarily delay, though not necessarily prevent, foreclosure proceedings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Regardless of what path you choose, proactively avoiding foreclosure
could be the best choice made. Avoiding foreclosure keeps Fillmore together by
keeping families in the community. If you are having difficulties with paying
down your debts, we recommend seeking professional help. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">Another
unfortunate situation is the City is sitting on 4 million dollars set aside to
assist Certificate of Preference holders with purchasing a home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The townhomes only cost $200K-$300K and 4
million dollars can purchase twelve townhomes, why isn’t the City loaning “Certificate
of Preference” holders the money needed to get in?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At a meeting in July of 2012, Michael Simmons
(developer of Fillmore Park Townhomes) explained “about 1000 people registered
online at our website for Fillmore Park Townhomes and 32 are Certificate of
Preference Holders.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He continued, “Six
of the 32 applied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Three could not secure a loan and
dropped out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One dropped out because...
only wanted a three bedroom… and didn’t have the house hold size to meet the
program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One dropped out because… felt
the units were too small.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One is still

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">In
conclusion, the program of the Mayor’s Office of Housing is working against
Certificate of Preference holders by not setting aside all or a portion of the
townhomes for them which is in line with the very aim of the development to
bring justice and healing to the community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Instead the Mayor’s Office of Housing is using the same “debt” strategy that
the SFRA used and creating a false sense of pressure and urgency to sell
townhomes while ignoring the needs of Certificate of Preference holders and not
taking the appropriate steps to define the meaning of “displaced”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Mayor’s Office’s is requiring the
developer to borrow the City’s own money, borrow from a bank and then sell
townhomes to pay everyone back; rather than using the City’s land and money to
leverage and find grants to raise the small amount of money needed to build and
sell.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 391.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In 2007, San Francisco completed a local
Violence Prevention Plan that outlines a comprehensive and strategic approach
to juvenile and criminal justice efforts. In addition to focusing on the needs
of youth 18 and under, the plan underscored the needs of at-risk transitioning
youth (ages 18-25) who often face obstacles that make them vulnerable to entry
or reentry into the criminal justice system. As such, the plan acknowledges San
Francisco’s responsibility to create strategies and safety nets for
transitioning youth.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">DCYF’s Violence
Prevention and Intervention “theory of change” will inform the plan’s funding
framework. The theory of change shows the series of changes that lead to the
desired outcome, and includes changes that are difficult to measure. The theory
of change underlies all DCYF’s violence prevention and intervention work.
Figure 1 outlines the stages of the theory of change.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">DCYF will
next work with the Mayor’s office and current partners (including DCYF) on
developing a fully revised, citywide Violence Prevention Plan targeted towards
all residents and visitors in San Francisco. This third phase of the revision
process should incorporate the work and expertise of City planning councils
such as the Family Violence Council and the Reentry Council. Building a Plan
that uses other City strategic plans and reports will help increase
coordination, and ensure that each City agency builds on its core content
expertise and community connections.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Youth and
young adults, particularly those from communities of color and low income
communities, are disproportionately affected by violence in San Francisco.
Young people between the ages of 10 and 25 years old may experience a range of
adverse consequences as a result of experiencing or participating in violence.
This plan endeavors to interrupt the cycle of violence and increase
coordination among agencies that fund violence prevention work in San
Francisco.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

“Introduce ordinance to provide families that are relocated due to
redevelopment of a public housing sites to have a right to return to the
revitalized housing. Create an expressed right to return will simplify the
occupancy process and make it possible for those that have been displaced from
revitalized projects to return to their community. Displacement of people as a
result of Redevelopment activities has had an irreparable impact on the Western
Addition and San Francisco’s African American community.” (July 31, 2012)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">By Jed Crawford, July 16, 2012</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The proposed Cathedral Hill Hospital on Geary and Van Ness
will REDUCE TRAFFIC in four ways.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3) Eliminate Double Parking with large Drive-in area for Cathedral

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4) The Mayor’s Office Doing Its Part in Controlling
Everything</span><br />
<br /> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1) Geary and Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Geary and Van Ness BRT of the Mayor’s Office is a study to
increase ridership and the speed it takes to get folks from the beach going
towards downtown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The BRTs are in part inspired by CPMC health
care project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">2) CPMC’s Employee Public Transportation Use and Raising Standard
for Large Employers</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">CPMC is raising the standard in reducing single car drivers
and encouraging employee to use public transportation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">More people using MUNI and BART increases revenues and benefit
the entire transportation system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">3) Eliminate Double Parking with large Drive-in area for Cathedral
Hill Hospital </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kaiser Permanente on Geary and Divisadero Street is a
perfect example of why there should be no alarms about traffic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with the double parking by visitors, taxis,
MUNI and a left turn you still don’t see major problems, many drivers just zip
through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cathedral Hill Hospital solves the problem of double parking
by allowing visitors and patients to drive into the hospital and even through
to another street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There will also be an underground tunnel that connects the
hospital to a medial office across the street which lessons the employee impact
on cross-walks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>

Everything</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There will be less traffic by the time the new hospital opens
and will continue to decrease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
aspects are dependent on the Mayor’s Office of Economic & Workforce
Development who is controlling everything regarding <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>CPMC, the BRTs, the negotiating, contracting,
oversight and millions of dollars for community benefit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>Fillmore / Lower Fillmore Neighborhood Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03181081853159997432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962454288524352923.post-60797029062332451492012-07-14T18:08:00.003-07:002012-07-14T18:08:33.592-07:00Supervisor Candidates Complete Tough Questionnaire on Topics Impacting Fillmore!<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">

Supervisor’s second role is to write and pass laws that work for all the people
of San Francisco. San Francisco is the greatest city in the world, but it
didn’t get that way by accident. It got that way because its people are always
working to make the city better. A Supervisor must craft laws that are focused
on the needs of our people, and keep the city faithful to the progressive
ideals for which San Francisco is known around the world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

the same time, a Supervisor must be ready to fight against the forces that try
to take away what makes San Francisco so special. Some very powerful and
influential people would prefer that city government focus on increasing their
bottom lines, consolidating their political power, and compromising our role as
a progressive model for the country and the world. The Board of Supervisors
must be the fortress where we defend the city against those who would try to
make San Francisco just another city run for the benefit of whoever pays the
most.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

are more than just memorization machines or number crunchers. They require a

student as a complex human being, who we should help prepare for the challenges

reprehensible actions of the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency led to the
removal of African American citizens, their homes and businesses from the
Fillmore District. It was so bad for the residents that afterwards, courts

while the Fillmore gang injunction was a well-intentioned idea to make the
streets safer, it has proven to be the wrong tool for accomplishing that job.
Rather than reducing gang violence, the main effects of the injunction have
been to harass and even imprison some of the district’s young people, not for
committing gang violence but sometimes only for being suspected of being in a
gang.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

suspicion can be based on something as small as wearing the wrong color in

Executive Director of the African American Arts and Cultural Complex, where we

so many different disciplines at the Complex are intertwined, all of our

builds cultural bridges between generations, and provides a space where we can
make opportunity and expression the words that our community and its people are
known for.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>District

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A
supervisor has various roles to play in representing a district. On a basic
level a supervisor must be a diligent advocate for constituents. That means
having a responsive and effective office at handling the myriad daily issues
that come up for residents and merchants in our neighborhoods. This level of
commitment is what we expect of any elected office holder.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>District
supervisors also have a role to play as supervisors for the entire city. In
this capacity, it’s important to both represent the interests and needs of the district
but also to have a larger vision about the future of San Francisco and to
present a positive legislative agenda for the district and the city at large. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The three
most pressing issues for the Lower Fillmore are public safety, clean streets,
and community economic development. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt;">Our communities should be safe
places to live and work. Adding more beat cops may help in the short term, but
we need to address the root causes of poverty and crime, and foster fair and
effective community-police relations. It’s also about neighbors looking out for
each other and building a trusting community. As supervisor I will ensure that
our police department achieves culturally competent community policing. </span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On any given day a pile of litter
and garbage can be seen collecting at street corners in the neighborhood such
as Fillmore and Golden Gate. While it is the everybody’s responsibility to be
good stewards of public space, the City should also step up and ensure that we
have clean streets. As supervisor I will make sure that DPW is on the job in
our neighborhood and also work to organize district clean team days in
conjunction with DPW so that residents can take an active role in keeping our
streets clean. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

intensive redevelopment over the past few decades and yet has not fully
succeeded at creating a vibrant commercial corridor in the Lower Fillmore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fillmore between Turk and Eddy is stark
reminder of the failure of redevelopment. Why should a whole city block in the
heart of town be shuttered with venetian blinds? It doesn’t make any
sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As supervisor I will work to
support community based entrepreneurs so that we can bring life to the
storefronts of the Fillmore commercial corridor. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I have worked for most of my
organizing career on remedies to the negative impact of redevelopment on the
neighborhood and on the African American community. Working with San Francisco
Housing Development Corporation, the Booker T. Washington Community Service
Center and other community partners, we were the first to successfully sunshine
the Redevelopment Agency’s records of displaced people from the redevelopment
era. This allowed us to do effective outreach about the certificate of
preference program for the first time since its inception. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I also worked to amend the City’s
planning code to expand the certificate program to Mayor’s Office of Housing
administered units, not just redevelopment units - our housing reparations
ordinance was passed by the Board of Supervisors. Without this change,
certificates would have been useless in the Fillmore after the agency exited
the district over the last few years. In addition I and other activists worked
to extend the program to children and grandchildren of displaced householders. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>While these accomplishments are
important, it’s still not enough. I will continue to bring leadership to this
issue as supervisor in District 5 by focusing on economic and housing justice
for a community whose roots were ripped from the ground. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I did not support the Gang
Injunction and still don’t. I believe the Gang Injunction is of marginal
utility and raises serious concerns about the civil liberties of those whom it primarily
affects. After a crisis of violence mid-decade, community members, including
myself, stepped up to take leadership by enhancing programs for at-risk youth
in the neighborhood, especially in public housing. The collaborative approach
to programming was successful and we’ve seen a steady decrease in youth on
youth homicide since that time. I believe it was the work of the community, the
Supervisor’s office, and the Public Defender’s Office that successfully
addressed the root cause of violent crime in the neighborhood, not the Gang
Injunction. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

President of the Booker T. Washington Community Service Center. At Booker T, I
have had the honor of working with a fantastic staff to envision a new center
that will be a home for emancipated foster youth and provide them with critical
on site support services. It is not always easy to win approval for this type
of development but we did it because we were organized and had the courage to
do what’s right. The new center will better serve our community’s needs and
will include a San Francisco bureau of Youth Radio, a tech skills center, a
childcare center, a mind body health center, and a community garden, in
addition to a new gymnasium. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>Fillmore / Lower Fillmore Neighborhood Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03181081853159997432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962454288524352923.post-62337652587757962752012-07-10T09:46:00.001-07:002012-07-10T09:46:35.431-07:00Andrew "Ellard" Resignato - Supervisor Candidate for Nov-12 - Completed Endorsement Questionnaire<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Andrew

Supervisor is the defender of the rights of the people in his/her District. In

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A Supervisor should be a leader in bringing
about change that improves the living conditions for the people. They need to be
present in the community to understand the way issues are affecting people.
He/she can propose legislation, advocate, direct City resources, or simply work
with the community to solve problems that affect District residents.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Public Safety is an issue I think is
most important to the Lower Fillmore neighborhood and is a symptom of some
greater issues that need to be addressed like: lack of educational and economic
opportunity, youth unemployment, substance abuse, and need for community
policing. I think the problem has been exacerbated by our current drug laws
which are discriminatory and tend to criminalize young men branding them felons
and preventing them from being eligible for employment as well as provide for
their families.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="yiv937851147msonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
believe police resources are being squandered busting people for drug crimes
when they should be used to solve violent and property crimes. I also believe
discriminatory drug laws along with gang injunctions, and sit-lie ordinances
have further eroded the relationship between the community and law enforcement
in addition to systematically stripping away civil liberties from specific
groups of people. All of these are exacerbating the public safety issue and
need to be addressed by the District 5 Supervisor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="yiv937851147msonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
would recommend treating drug abuse as a public health issue and not as a criminal
justice issue which includes spending more money on substance abuse treatment
and educational programs and having police make less drug arrests. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Community policing needs to be emphasized as
the model that works. Police need to present in the community to not just make
arrests but to interact positively with community members and develop
relationships. It is incumbent on the District Supervisor to make sure this is
happening. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

not easily solved needs to be addressed in the Lower Fillmore. The legacy of
Redevelopment has caused in-fighting in the community that has served to erode
trust of community members in each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In order for the problems of crime, economic opportunity, and cultural
renewal to be addressed the community needs to come together. It is only
through working together that communities can solve these larger issues. The
District 5 Supervisor can have an impact by using the office to hold community
meetings aimed at bringing the community together and directing city resources
to finding solutions that community members <u>all</u> have a stake in
developing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Helping small business in the
neighborhood is an important way to help the community thrive. The City has
been rolling out the red carpet with tax breaks and other incentives for large
tech companies but I believe the city needs to help small businesses grow and
thrive in neighborhoods like the Western Addition/Lower Fillmore. Lower
Fillmore used to be a thriving neighborhood due to the many small
African-American owned businesses that operated there. We need to figure out
ways to bring businesses back including helping people in the community start
small businesses. As Supervisor I intend to focus on small business as the
sector of our economy that can provide economic opportunity in neighborhoods
across the city including Lower Fillmore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Honestly,
I have not been very active in this realm but the most important thing I have
done is educate people about the legacy of redevelopment in the Lower Fillmore
Neighborhood. Many people are unaware of the decade’s long fight that has been
waged in the neighborhood. They do not know anything about the thriving
Fillmore neighborhood before the redevelopment bulldozers came in and how the
Geary corridor was used to separate rich and poor, black and white. When I go
to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Justin</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Herman</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Plaza</st1:placetype></st1:place>
I ask people if they even know who he was and explain to him that this man who
this plaza is named for really doesn’t deserve it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My
belief is that the community needs to come together to heal the scars caused by
the Redevelopment Agency and help the people impacted by the Agency. The
District 5 Supervisor has a stake in this and should make sure that all parties
are being treated fairly in future development projects, assuring community
input. The Supervisor needs to emphasize that retaining the culture and history
of the neighborhood should be a city priority. </span><o:p></o:p><br />

do not believe the gang injunction has helped the community. I believe gang
injunctions further erode the civil liberties of specific people, break up
families, and simply move gang violence from one place to another. I do not
believe the injunction is addressing the root issues and serves as a band-aid
for greater social issues that need attention. Issues like youth unemployment,
lack of educational and economic opportunity, crime, and marginalization need
to be addressed. I see the gang injunction along with discriminatory drug laws
and the sit-lie ordinance as a type of institutionalized racism that serves to
deny people rights. Gang violence is certainly an issue that needs to be
addressed but I believe the gang injunction is a bad-aid and not a long term
solution to the problem. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of immunization to prevent disease. I have worked to bring the message of the
importance of preventing diseases like pertussis, hepatitis, meningitis, and
measles to diverse communities including communities where health access is the
lowest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is not a glamorous job. When you prevent disease nothing happens. But I believe
it is up to leaders to anticipate problems that will affect people in the

that adversely impact people is a passion of mine and a characteristic I will
bring to the job of District 5 Supervisor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>Fillmore / Lower Fillmore Neighborhood Associationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03181081853159997432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962454288524352923.post-16522342365903972702012-07-10T09:40:00.003-07:002012-07-10T09:40:43.333-07:00John Rizzo - Supervisor Candidate for Nov-12 - Completed Questionnaire<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Fillmore/ Lower Fillmore Neighborhood Association Questionnaire<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">1) Describe in your own words what is the purpose of a
Supervisor representing a District in San Francisco? (2000 characters including
spaces)<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The purpose of a San Francisco Supervisor
is to proactively seek out the problems facing communities and to work with
constituents to solve them. This requires three things: being an active member
of the community, being an effective policymaker, and acting as a watchdog. As
an elected official serving as President of the Community College Board, I have
the experience and record that demonstrates that I have been all three. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As a community member</span></i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">, I will not
hide from my constituents in City Hall, but will continue to be active in the
community. No one knows the needs of District 5 better than its residents and small
business owners, and only through speaking with them regularly can a Supervisor
enact solutions that move the community in the right direction. As an elected
official, I have found that constituents often have some of the best ideas on
how to fix problems. As a member of the Community College Board, I spend far
more time out in the community than at Board meetings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As a policymaker</span></i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">, a Supervisor
must be able translate the needs and concerns of the District into policy
solutions that work. A supervisor can’t just propose solutions, but must be
able to fight for them and gather the votes to pass them. On the City College
Board, I have worked with both progressive and conservative members to pass initiatives
that I am proud of. For instance, a “student equity initiative” has helped
disadvantaged students succeed, raised grades, and lowered the dropout rate.
I’ve created new green jobs training programs for disadvantaged youth and
pushed for greener building standards. My Local Hiring initiative has created
hundreds of construction jobs for San Francisco residents. These all follow the
values of District 5, and I look forward to continue pressing for them on the
Board of Supervisors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As a watchdog</span></i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">, a Supervisor
must ensure that the city is behaving equitably and in a just manner. There are
a powerful interests in San Francisco that often have undue influence on how the
city is run. The District 5 Supervisor must hold down its community values on
the Board and fight to ensure that powerful interests are not given power that
the community should have. While in elected office I have the experience in standing
up to corrupt interests who were diverting public resources away from vital
programs. I’ve proven that I can hold the line and fight corruption at City
College, and now I intend to do so for all of San Francisco. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

believe that economic development and employment opportunities, access to
quality education, and housing </span></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">are
among the most important challenges for the Lower Fillmore. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">1. Economic development, jobs, and business opportunities.</span></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> We must start by helping small business become more
sustainable. While corporations often bring in workers from outside of the
city, small business is vital to full employment in San Francisco. I plan to
streamline the permitting process, lower permit fees, and create one-stop
centers where businesses can get everything they need to move forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I also believe the city must stimulate the local
economy. For instance, I helped pass the GoSolarSF program, which has helped
struggling small energy companies, created hundreds of jobs, and got solar power
for low-income families. The program also incentivized the hiring of disadvantaged
residents. However, the city has drastically cut back funding for this program,
which granting large tax breaks to corporations. I would fight to refund
GoSolarSF, and use it as a model for other stimulus programs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Such economic stimulus can be paid for by
streamlining the management of city government. At City College, I helped
balance $200 million operating budgets and a $750 million construction budget
by instituting dozens of new oversight and fiscal reforms. As a result, the
College District had more funding for social services and facilities. I am the
only candidate that can bring this type of governmental fiscal accountability
in order to pay for things we need. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">It is disappointing to see the city give
tens of millions of dollars in tax breaks to corporations without asking them
to play a role in training and hiring our residents. I will work to change
that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">On the City College Board, I authored and
passed a “hire local” resolution that ensured CCSF construction projects would give
jobs to San Franciscans, particularly to residents of low-income neighborhoods.
San Francisco then followed and passed similar legislation, which I supported. As
Supervisor, I will expand local hiring beyond construction to other areas that
the city is involved with. Encouraging job growth for San Franciscans will grow
the local economy and provide more tax revenue to the city to provide vital
services. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">2. Access to quality education. </span></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As President of the City College Board of Trustees, I have seen
first-hand how access to education can change lives, and in some cases, literally
save lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The city government does not do a good
enough job at education and training. The city’s workforce development agency
focuses on low-paying jobs. We must aim higher. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">At City College, I worked to expand the
Second Chance program, which gets formerly incarcerated individuals not just
minimum wage jobs, college degrees. For example, last year, the valedictorian
the City College graduation was a drug addict for two decades, in and out of
jail. Today, he is studying at UC Berkeley. Many Second Chance graduates go on
to masters degrees. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I have also supported shorter educational
programs that train disadvantaged people for high paying careers, including the
2-year medical technician and nursing programs at the John Adams Campus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As supervisor, I will work to get the city
to do a better job of community outreach to residents and help students move
towards a rewarding and gainful career. I will work to have the city collaborate
better with the school district. Studies have shown that third-grade attendance
can be used as an accurate predictor of one’s future situation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Whether creating new programs or improving
old ones, modernizing infrastructure and ensuring student access to technology,
I fought through the bureaucracy to make sure that our students were best
prepared for the next phase of their lives. While the City College is just one
piece of the education picture, my experience in turning around City College is
the kind of experience Supervisors should have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The city government is not doing enough to
ensure that education is both exceptional and equitable from Day One. I’m the
only candidate that has the experience working with educators, students,
administrators, and politicians to make the meaningful improvements our schools
need to narrow the achievement gap.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Affordable housing is critical to retaining
the character of District 5 and San Francisco. I am committee to protecting
existing affordable housing, and to finding ways to create new affordable
housing. Additionally, public housing needs much attention, to fix the
mismanagement and apply desperately needed maintenance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">When I first visited District 5 in the late
1970’s, it made a lasting impression on me to see that block after square block
of the historic Fillmore had been razed to the ground, its residents displaced.
What the community got in trade has been inadequate. The Fillmore Center and
the Community Benefits District have not done nearly enough for the community.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Once thing I have done is to beef up
District 5’s main secondary educational, workforce training, and GED testing
center. This is City College’s John Adams Campus at Masonic and Hayes, which
brings 5000 students through its doors every month. At a time when the District
was focusing on new buildings in the Mission and Chinatown, I successfully fought
for funding for modernizing John Adams with a new library, new computer
equipment, and modernized “smart” classrooms. John Adams is San Francisco’s
only GED testing center, and I voted against raising GED testing fees. I am
also currently working to relocate Huckleberry House, a non-profit facility for
troubled youth, in the John Adams facility, in order to expose these youth to
the medical technician training programs housed at John Adams. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">On the jobs front, one aspect of my Local
Hiring Initiative at City College has an emphasis on serving low-income zip
codes throughout the city, including District 5. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As an environmental activist, I have been
committed to environmental justice. I lead an effort to defeat a proposal to
build new power plants in the southeast sections of the city. I have also
fought for funding for District 5’s parks and recreation facilities, and fought
against the city’s drive to impose new park fees that price low-income people
out of our parks. I’ve also fought the commercialization of parks that keep the
public locked out. I have been an advocate for muni lines that don’t go
downtown – the so-called cross-town lines, like the 22 Fillmore and the 24
Divisadero routes, which don’t get the attention or funding they require to
serve residents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

yes how? (2000 characters including spaces)<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Gang Injunctions have not proven to be effective
in assuring public safety, and they create conditions that are actually detrimental
to public safety. They split family members apart by preventing them from
visiting one another. They separate people from the resources of their own community.
And they unfairly target people by race, as well as young people, without due
process. Gang Injunctions violate people’s right to due process and the freedom
to peaceably assemble, as in the so-called “Safety Zones.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The fact that many of the injunction’s
targets are not gang members, or are rehabilitated members of our society only
adds to the problematic nature of gang injunctions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The City Attorney’s figures on the effectiveness
of the gang injunctions are misleading at best. They focus on number of crimes
committed by individuals named in the injunction at one period in time, not on
the overall crime. The tragic murder of a 20-year-old Fillmore resident in
April shows that public safety is still a problem. And in last year’s multiple
gang shootings in the Mission District injunction zone, only 1 in 4 involved
were on the gang injunction list. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I believe that the path to safer streets is
multi-faceted. First is community policing with foot patrols; we must get
police officers out of their cars. Next, we must use police officers with
cultural competency who can recognize the difference between cultural norms and
actual criminal behavior, and who can relate to residents on a personal level. The
city also needs to work with early childhood education, because falling behind
at an early age propagates disadvantage throughout one’s life. Also key is
educational outreach to youth, to offer opportunities to people who are unaware
of what exists.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s clear that the Western Addition gang injunctions
are less about policing gangs than they are about making the area more appealing
to outside business interests. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As President of the Community College of San
Francisco, I have brought more money from the city to help pay for programs and
infrastructure, with particular emphasis on disadvantaged students. We know
that not every student is ready for a four-year college out of high school, and
it has been my honor to lead CCSF in helping prepare young people for
meaningful roles in society. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I tirelessly fought corruption at CCSF,
taking on a system full of graft and restoring the credibility of the institution.
By restoring the financial accountability of the CCSF system, I was able to
free desperately needed resources to help students meet their goals. In this
economy, there just isn’t enough money to be wasting it lining the pockets of
bureaucrats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">While turning around CCSF was very
important, it only scratches the surface as to what I want to do for San
Francisco and District 5. I’ve proven that I can create jobs, improve the
education system, and fight corruption at CCSF, and now I’m ready to do the
same at City Hall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the SF PUC had approved. I also spent a lot of effort fighting for the closure
