Meeting
back
to
order
welcome
back
everybody,
we
have
a
time
certain
for
this
next
item,
so
we
will
move
forward
with
item
8.6,
which
are
actions
related
to
the
affordable
housing,
siding
policy
and
we'll
then
go
to
the
remaining
two
items,
both
affordable
housing
projects
that
require
approval.
So
thanks
everyone
for
your
patience,
jackie,
take
it
away.
D
E
D
And
as
we
wait
for
the
presentation
to
come
up,
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
personal
story
regarding
how
important
where
you
grow
up
and
in
what
area
you
live
in,
has
an
impact
in
your
life.
I
am
the
daughter
of
colombian
immigrants
who
came
to
this
country
looking
for
an
opportunity
to
live
in
a
better
place.
D
D
My
parents
did
not
understand
what
it
took
to
go
to
college
english
was
not
their
first
language,
they
didn't
know
how
to
apply
for
college,
and
so,
but
I
went
to
a
school
where
everybody
went
to
college,
and
so
I
didn't
even
think.
D
Had
we
moved
into
another
neighborhood,
it
is
likely
that
I
would
not
have
gone
to
college
because
it
wouldn't
have
been
an
opportunity
that
would
have
come
to
me
naturally
or
in
terms
of
my
parents,
encouraging
me
to
go
so
really.
For
me,
where
I
lived
made
a
huge
difference
on
on
my
outcomes,
and
so
with
that
perfect
timing.
D
This
is
a
story
about
the
people
who
live
in
our
affordable
housing
communities
and
where
they
have
opportunity
and
choice
to
live.
So,
in
addition
to
developing
a
policy
that
is
consistent
with
federal
and
state
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing
laws,
the
citing
policy
goals
also
include
increasing,
affordable
housing
in
areas
of
opportunity.
D
D
D
One
came
from
a
group
came
from
the
colorado
housing
partnership
and
the
they
were
a
key
partner
in
this.
This
work,
due
to
their
experience
in
developing
housing
policy
across
california,
their
team
built
the
opportunity
area
maps
used
by
the
state
to
incentivize
investment
in
opportunity
areas
when
building
affordable
housing.
D
In
addition
to
the
team
from
the
california
housing
partnership,
we
also
had
a
representation
from
the
othering
and
belonging
institute
at
uc
berkeley.
They
bring
together
researchers,
organizers
stakeholders,
communicators
and
policy
makers
to
identify
and
eliminate
the
barriers
to
an
inclusive,
just
and
sustainable
society
in
order
to
create
transformative
change.
D
Their
work
is
centered
on
realizing
a
world
where
all
people
belong
their
director
john,
a
powell,
is
an
internationally
recognized
expert
in
the
areas
of
civil
rights,
structural,
racism,
housing
and
poverty.
The
other
belongings
latest
national
study
showed
that
segregation
is
the
linchpin
to
racial
inequality.
D
D
As
we
begin
our
discussion
on
the
citing
policy,
it's
important
that
we're
very
clear
on
how
this
policy
will
be
applied.
It
will
be
used
by
the
housing
department
when
we
fund
any
deed,
restricted,
affordable
housing
unit
in
the
city.
It
will
also
be
applied
when
an
inclusionary
housing
developer
selects
to
build
their
units
off-site.
D
D
D
This
means
that
a
developer
who's
able
to
cite
his
property
in
his
or
her
property
in
a
category.
One
neighborhood
will
also
receive
additional
state
points
when
their
application
is
being
scored
for
tax
credits.
So
it's
important
to
know
that
our
policy
is
aligned
with
the
state
and
how
we
defined
these
areas.
D
So
we
just
wanted
to
try
to
illustrate
what
this
all
means.
So
here
you
can
see.
We
have
all
three
categories
in
color,
so
blue
is
category
1
where
34
of
the
population
resides
category
2
is
where
59
percent
of
our
population
resides,
and
in
category
3,
only
7
percent
of
san
jose's
population
lives
in
a
neighborhood
that
we've
defined
as
a
category
three
neighborhood.
D
D
D
So
for
category
one
we
would
allocate
30
of
our
units
that
get
funded
should
be
located
in
a
category
3
area
and
that's
all
three
time
periods.
So
we
are
not
suggesting
we
are
going
to
try
to
fund
every
year
with
this
kind
of
allocation,
but
at
the
end
of
the
three
years
this
is
where
we
want
to
end
category
two.
Fifty
percent
of
the
units
should
be
in
a
category
two
neighborhood
and
category
three.
Twenty
percent
of
the
homes
should
be
in
a
category
two
neighborhood.
D
I
mean
three
neighborhood
in
our
second
phase
and
it's
there's
a
it
says
five,
but
it's
actually
a
three-year
phase-in
period,
which
is
the
first
one,
but
the
second
phase
will
be
five
years
and
you
can
see
we're
continuing
to
shift
the
number
of
units
we
want
to
achieve
into
category
one.
So
we'd
like
to
see.
Sixty
percent
of
the
units
we
fund
are
in
category
1.,
30
of
the
units
would
be
located
in
category
2
and
10
percent
would
be
located
in
category
3..
D
D
D
In
order
to
incentivize
category
one
neighborhoods,
what
we're
proposing
that
and
that
we
added
to
this
recommendation
is
that
we
create
a
pre-development
funding
and
capacity
building
grants
for
developments
that
are
only
going
into
category
one,
that
we
would
partner
with
a
cdfi
to
create
this
essentially
a
pre-development
land
development
set-aside,
so
that
developers
could
move
quickly.
D
I
noticed
in
the
last
presentation
you
said
the
city
moved
fast,
but
often
when
it
comes
to
land
development,
we
move
quite
slowly
because
we
have
additional
requirements
that
we
make
a
developer
jump
through
if
they're
coming
directly
to
the
city.
So
we
believe
we
could
reduce
the
red
tape.
Cdfi
could
move
faster,
and
this
was
one
of
the
strategies
that
measure
a
used
in
order
to
incentivize
developers
to
start
funding
or
start
producing
permit
supportive
housing,
and
we
also
think
that
this
would
help
to
increase
the
amount
of
residential
sites.
D
And
so
there
was
concern
expressed
that
we
would,
by
limiting
the
category.
Three
developments
lose
sight
of
a
development
opportunity
that
might
be
catalytic,
and
we
are
committed
that
if
such
a
development
were
to
come
forward,
we
would
absolutely
try
to
find
a
way
to
fund
it,
and,
of
course,
would
come
to
council
would
ultimately
be
your
decision
if
it
was
above
and
beyond
what
the
category
three
limitations
are.
I
think
it
is
important
to
note.
D
D
In
summary,
the
purpose
of
the
affordable
housing
citing
policy
is
to
provide
housing
choices
and
opportunities
for
low-income
residents
to
live
in
all
areas
of
the
city.
The
policy
recognizes
that
there
is
an
imbalance
in
that
we
have
fewer
opportunities
to
live
in
category
one
neighborhoods
and
we
have
many
more
choices
to
live
in
category
three.
D
D
D
We
need
to
continue
to
find
ways
to
build
the
affordable
housing
our
residents
so
desperately
need,
but
we
need
to
do
it
throughout
the
city
and
the
affordable
housing.
Siting
policy
is
an
attempt
to
begin
to
put
focus
and
energy
into
trying
to
get
as
much
of
our
housing
in
opportunity.
One
areas
and
with
that
we
are
open
for
questions.
Thank
you.
C
G
I
know
the
city
is
trying
very
hard
to
develop,
affordable
housing
for
the
homeless,
but
I
also
want
you
to
be
aware
that
there
are
some
homeless
individuals
who
don't
want
to
be
housed
even
in
emergency
shelters,
either
because
of
drug
or
liquor
restrictions,
and
it
is
those
individuals
and
possibly
others
who
are
now
regularly
using
my
fret
lawn
as
their
bathroom
leaving
their
excrement.
For
me
to
clean
up
my
front
water
faucet
is
often
used
to
take
showers.
G
G
I
live
within
less
than
half
a
mile
from
an
emergency
shelter
and
three
places
that
provide
food
to
homeless
individuals,
some
of
whom
come
over
and
sit
in
my
yard
and
then
leave
their
plates
and
containers.
In
my
yard,
we've
installed
security
cameras
and
special
close-off
valves
for
our
water
and
now
considering
fencing
in
the
front
yard,
but
three
feet.
Fencing
is
pretty
easy
to
jump
over.
G
H
H
We
are
a
group
of
san
jose
residents
that
has
been
meeting
voluntarily
on
over
a
two-year
basis
to
analyze
what
we
believe
is
a
large
problem
of
an
over
concentration
of
affordable
and
supportive
housing
within
a
small
geographic
range
of
neighborhoods
in
san
jose.
This
slide
shows
the
various
neighborhoods
that
we
come
from
next
slide.
Please.
H
First
of
all,
we
want
to
commend
the
housing
department
for
being
proactive
in
recognizing
that
there
is
a
need
for
a
citing
policy.
Not
many
cities
do
this,
and
we
think
this
is
a
great
effort.
However,
while
also
we
want
to
commend
the
housing
department
for
the
goals
of
the
citing
policy
as
identified
in
this
language.
However,
based
upon
our
research
and
our
analysis,
we
believe
there
are
two
critical
flaws
in
the
housing
policy
in
its
current
form,
in
particular
with
regards
to
goals
one
and
two.
H
We
are
asking
the
city
council
tonight
to
please
direct
the
housing
department
to
revise
the
draft
citing
policy
to
address
these
two
critical
flaws.
Next
slide,
please,
the
two
critical
flaws
that
we
believe
exist
in
the
current
draft
are
number
one.
The
citing
policy
does
not
adequately
distinguish
or
acknowledge
the
different
impacts.
Supportive
housing
has
on
a
neighborhood
versus
affordable
housing.
The
current
signing
policy
would
continue
to
allow
supportive
housing
to
be
concentrated
in
only
a
small
geographic
range
of
neighborhoods
and
we're
going
to
show
you
tonight
how
currently
supportive
housing
is
concentrated.
H
Second
of
all,
the
policy
does
really
nothing
to
ensure
that
future,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
will
be
driven
into
the
next
78
percent
of
the
city's
census
blocks
that
currently
have
zero,
affordable
and
supportive
housing,
and
we
do
not
believe
there
are
adequate
precautions
to
continue
to
prevent
the
continuation
of
these
housing
developments
to
be
concentrated
in
the
22
percent
of
census.
Blocks
that
already
have
them.
B
B
The
first
flaw
in
the
sighting
policy
doesn't
acknowledge
the
different
impacts
that
supportive
housing
has
in
the
surrounding
community.
Supportive
housing
is
unique
because
wraparound
services
are
provided
for
its
residents,
who
may
have
been
unhoused,
have
mental
health
and
addiction
issues
and
or
disabled
next
slide.
Please.
B
B
B
B
These
districts,
along
with
district
six,
have
the
most
permanent
supportive
housing
in
the
city
next
slide.
Please,
council
members
may
have
seen
this
slide
in
that
same
memo.
It
documents
the
number
of
police
calls
over
a
10-year
time
period
in
five
different,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
neighborhoods.
B
As
you
can
see
in
the
graph,
the
three
neighborhoods
with
affordable
housing
have
no
or
little
impact
on
the
number
of
calls.
Yet
the
supportive
housing
neighborhoods
have
substantially
more
police
calls.
After
opening,
we
ask
the
council
to
amend
the
citing
policy
to
distinguish
between
supportive
and
affordable
housing
such
that
supportive
housing
developments
are
equitably
distributed
throughout
all
of
the
san
jose
council
districts.
J
J
The
second
flaw
of
the
city,
siding
policy,
is
in
its
primary
function
to
drive
placement
of
new,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
by
the
established
categories.
The
flaw
is
not
the
categories
themselves,
but
the
oversight
in
not
utilizing
the
discovery
by
data
that
78
of
our
city
census
blocks,
have
zero
deed,
restricted,
affordable
housing
developments.
J
K
K
K
K
K
K
We
strongly
encourage
approval
of
the
new
san
jose,
affordable,
siding
policy,
as
recommended
in
the
staff
report
to
solve
our
housing
crisis,
we
must
drastically
increase
production
of
affordable
housing
in
our
community
and,
as
we've
already
heard,
with
50
percent
of
san
jose
households
eligible
for
affordable
housing.
Only
six
percent
of
our
pipeline
and
existing
housing
is
affordable,
deed
restricted
for
those
households.
K
The
recommended
policy
represents
an
important
step
towards
achieving
our
affordable
housing
goals,
but
there's
still
much
work
ahead.
Council
will
face
land
use
decisions
in
the
months
ahead
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
implement
policies
needed
to
open
up
more
of
our
city
to
deeply
affordable,
multi-family
housing.
In
particular.
The
upcoming
housing
element
must
identify
sufficient
sites
in
category
1
neighborhoods
to
ensure
we
move
forward
toward
meeting
these
goals.
Approval
and
implementation
of
this
policy
should
not
be
delayed
any
further.
K
B
Good
evening
my
name
is
alma
rodondo.
I'm
with
olimrock
urban
village
advocates
we're
committed
to
an
equity
framework
for
development
that
seeks
to
invest
in
the
aldemar
quarter
and
in
the
existing
and
historical
community
surrounding
we're
very
concerned
with
a
policy
that
uses
neighborhood
characteristics
to
establish
neighborhood
categories
that
include
opportunity
areas,
high
poverty
areas,
higher
violent
areas
and
uses
these
categories
to
determine
whether
to
invest
or
divest
in
those
neighborhoods.
B
Historically,
banks,
lending
institutions
and
government
jurisdictions,
historically
redlined
our
neighborhoods,
based
on
the
same
type
of
designations.
These
designations
have
been
used
to
decide
where
to
put
airports
where
to
build
freeways
where
to
not
invest
in
our
neighborhoods.
The
mayfair
district
has
been
surrounded
by
freeways,
101,
680,
280,
gassing.
B
Saints
juan
is
the
only
one
really
acceptable
in
this
proposal,
but
without
a
local
preference
policy,
we
can
build
all
the
affordable
housing
in
our
in
our
in
our
district
in
our
quarter
and
our
family
still
cannot
get
into
those
units.
We
ask
that
you
ensure
that
these
category
designations
for
affordable
housing
does
not
continue
to
punish
our
community
and
corrects
the
historical
inequities
in
them.
Thank
you.
K
One
thing
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
things:
different
people
are
saying,
but
one
thing
was
stood
out
about
the
presentation
as
the
suggestion
that
affordable
housing
and
low
resource
neighborhoods
can
compensate
for
being
in
a
low
resource
neighborhood
by
offering
programs.
K
A
lot
of
the
program
where
I
live,
I
look
at
like
yeah
they're
doing
that,
so
I
can
check
the
box
and
they
have
a
health
program
and
their
idea
of
a
health
program
is,
to
you
know
healthy
eating
classes
to
grow
a
bunch
of
turkey
burgers.
Let
people
put
toppings
on
them.
You
know
nothing
about
how
to
actually.
K
K
How
many
units
would
it
take
to
meet
that
need
and
what
is
the
taxpayer
cost
for
that
many
units
initially
and
ongoing
I've
yet
to
receive
answers
to
those
questions,
and
without
that
I
don't
see
how
you
can
move
forward.
I
did
look
up
that
there's
over
101
000
people
that
live
below
poverty,
the
poverty
line
in
san
jose.
K
So
if
you
lowball
giving
a
hundred
thousand
to
each
person,
that's
over
10
billion
dollars,
I'm
not
sure
we
can
afford
a
program
that
that's
low
ball,
a
program
that
would
cost
over
10
billion
dollars.
So
I'm
suggesting
that
we
look
into
other
ways
to
invest.
Jackie
morales
told
a
very
touching
story
about
her
education.
K
K
Yes,
thank
you.
This
is
matthew
reed
from
silicon
valley

We
are
here
to
support
this
citing
policy
as
proposed
by
staff,
and
actually
appreciate
a
lot
of
the
input.
That's
come
from
council
memos
we'd
like
to
thank
staff
for
all
of
the
hard
work
and
the
public
for
what's
been
a
really
robust
engagement.
K
The
truth
is
that
we
need
more
affordable
housing
in
san
jose.
The
need
is
crushing.
The
impact
is
both
immediate
today
and
we
believe
is
going
to
be
enduring
for
families
and
communities,
and
so
we
really
need
to
do
a
better
job.
We
believe
this
policy
will
create
expanded,
affordable
housing
opportunities
throughout
the
city.
In
that
way,
it
responds
to
the
state
law
formatively
furthering
fair
housing,
but
also
the
moral
obligation
and
the
long-term
health
and
development
of
the
entire
city.
K
Let
me
be
clear,
though,
that
we
need
more
affordable
housing
everywhere.
This
is
not
an
either
or
policy,
but
a
yes
and
policy,
and
we
believe
that
the
proposed
policy
realizes
this
goal.
We
believe
that
it
addresses
some
of
the
concerns
about
different
types
of
housing
in
different
communities.
We
believe
that
it
attempts
to
balance
the
the
needs
in
communities
that
are
desperate
for
affordable
housing
in
their
communities
and
want
it
and
also
to
expand
opportunities
in
areas
where
it
hasn't
traditionally
been.
K
K
There
are
policies
proposed
to
incentivize,
affordable
housing
in
growth,
areas
that
are
actually
already
identified
in
the
general
plan.
The
tools
are
available,
but
this
is
going
to
take
policy
work
and
planning
work.
We
need
more,
affordable
housing.
This
is
an
important
time
to
be
asking
these
questions,
but
there's
more
work
ahead.
Thank
you.
K
Hello,
my
name
is
aaron
eckhaus,
I'm
the
regional
policy
manager
with
california
yumby.
Yes,
in
my
backyard
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
sighting
policy,
I
think
it's
clear
that
we
need
more
affordable
housing
in
every
neighborhood
in
san
jose,
but
we
also
know
that
segregation
nationwide
is
worse
than
it
was
when
the
fair
housing
act
was
passed
50
years
ago
and
that
san
jose
itself
remains
deeply
segregated.
K
So
I
do
support
this
sighting
policy
and
I'm
also
very
encouraged
to
hear
from
staff
that
the
city
is
going
to
be
looking
specifically
at
land
use,
changes
to
support
the
better
support.
This
policy,
through
the
housing
element
process,
I
think
that's
a
great
opportunity
and
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you
all
on
moving
it
forward.
Thank
you.
F
B
B
B
Are
the
citing
requirements
and
reviews
going
to
consider
the
location
of
these
county
services
and
how
they'll
be
distributed?
This
memo
also
begged
the
question
to
me.
If
we
don't
need
another
consultant
or
organization
to
review
all
of
the
analysis
performed
to
make
sure
that
they
are
correct
and
that
the
staff
conclusions
are
indeed
correct.
B
F
J
J
The
second
point
is
that
we
need
to
have
a
complete
picture
of
affordable
housing
so
that
we
can
include
all
different
types
of
affordable
housing.
Downtown
itself
has
demonstrated
a
commendable
wide
variety
of
affordable
housing,
but
all
those
different
types
aren't
included
in
the
siting
policy,
for
example,
group
homes
or
rent,
stabilized
or
shelters,
transitional
services
or
hotels.
K
Good
evening,
mayor
lecardo,
members
of
the
city
council,
scott
nice
executive,
director
of
the
san
jose
downtown
association,
san
jose,
certainly
needs
a
fully
baked
housing
siding
policy,
but
this
one
is
half
baked
the
proposal
before
you
will
not
achieve
the
goal
of
equitable
distribution
of
future
affordable
housing
units
throughout
the
city.
Rather,
it
will
continue
the
practice
of
placing
more
of
these
units
in
already
saturated
neighborhoods,
like
vendome,
hensley
and
glenside.
K
To
illustrate
this
point,
the
county
of
santa
clara
opened
a
90-unit
permanent,
supportive
homeless
housing
project
in
our
neighborhood
earlier
this
year,
and
there
was
zero
consideration
for
our
neighborhood
context.
No
one
looked
at
the
number
of
nearby
liquor
stores,
the
proximity
of
the
creek,
the
number
of
existing
affordable
units
such
as
halfway
houses,
foster
care
units
and,
of
course,
the
major
difference
when
locating
supportive
housing
versus
affordable,
and
these
issues
are
not
addressed
in
the
policy
before
you
tonight.
K
It
is
encouraging
to
see
a
couple
of
the
council.
Member
memos
include
the
county.
This
is
imperative
because
the
county
can
lease
or
purchase
property
for
homeless
housing
anywhere.
It
wants
for
our
pedro
street
project.
The
county
refused
to
get
a
required
conditional
use
permit
from
the
city
of
san
jose.
The
county
claimed
intergovernmental
immunity
to
skirt
municipal
law.
If
the
county
won't
follow
municipal
land
use
law
and
our
city
attorney
won't
defend
it,
then
a
mere
citing
policy
will
be
completely
toothless.
H
H
H
So
it's
it's
really
tricky
to
come
up
with
a
policy
that
really
achieves
the
goals
that
we
want.
Your
staff
has
really
done
a
good
job.
They've
worked
very
hard
on
it
and
you're
lucky
to
have
them.
The
only
complaint
I
could
possibly
have
is
that
the
percentages
of
affordable
housing
only
add
up
to
100,
because
we
all
know
we
desperately
need
more.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
Good
evening
this
is
alex
shore,
I'm
speaking
tonight,
not
on
behalf
of
any
organization
for
which
I
work
or
commission,
on
which
I
sit,
and
I
want
to
share
support
for
staff's
tremendous
work
on
the
affordable
housing
policy.
I
do
hope
you'll
support
it
today.
One
of
the
discussions
I've
had
with
staff
over
time
is:
how
do
we
make
sure
that,
because
we
have
buses
and
some
light
rail
and
some
heavy
rail
through
caltrain
throughout
our
city?
And
now
apart?
L
How
can
we
have
affordable
housing
throughout
our
city
near
transit,
so
that
folks
aren't
isolated
in
communities
throughout
the
city?
So
I
think
staff
has
done
that.
I
did
have
an
interesting
discussion
with
one
of
our
our
best,
affordable
housing
developers
in
san
jose
recently,
and
that
individual
raised
some
concerns
about.
Would
we
be
recreating
redlining
by
creating
specific
areas
where
we
want
to
concentrate
housing,
and
would
that
be
an
unintended
consequence
of
this
policy?
L
Overall,
I
think
it's
absolutely
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
I'm
so
glad
that
we're
thinking
about
affordable
housing
throughout
our
city,
I
think,
when
I've
seen
affordable
housing
projects,
I
often
see
nice
design,
fantastic
community
benefits
and,
most
importantly,
affordable
housing
for
our
residents
and
the
more
that
I
think
san
jose
are
exposed
to
great
projects
in
their
neighborhood.
The
more
they
realize
that
affordable
housing
is
a
win
for
all
of
us
in
the
community.
Thank
you.
B
Yes
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
holding
this
meeting,
I
respectfully
ask
for
the
for
the
council
to
re:
send
this
back
for
revision.
B
The
housing
department
believes
that
each
census
block
can
have
a
50
saturation,
despite
the
fact
that
a
majority
of
san
jose
census
blocks
currently
have
zero,
affordable
or
supportive
housing,
and
the
policy
also
states
that
limiting
funding
in
high
impacted
census
blocks
where
50
or
more
of
existing
homes
are
indeed
restricted,
says.
It
says
that
it
can
limit
funding,
but
there
are
also
exceptions
to
be
made.
B
B
A
A
That
is
when
I
started
very
seriously
talking
about
the
ideas
of
mixed
income,
housing
reagan,
henninger
reported
to
a
committee
meeting.
I
think,
neighborhood
services
a
few
months
ago.
You
know
the
mtc
and
casa
they've
been
developing
these
ideas
for
quite
a
long
time
mixed
income.
A
A
There
seems
to
be
some
problems
in
how
to
better
define
what
affordable
housing
can
be
at
this
time
and
mixed
income
ideas
are
just
seeing
a
natural
key
to
this
future
of
how
to
make
the
process
easier
to
understand
and
flexible
and
and
can
allow
you
choices
and
where
to
place
low-income
housing
in
the
future
of
neighborhoods
and
communities.
A
A
We
start
talking
about
things
not
now
openly
and
we
can
get
excited
together
and
then
by
2025
we'll
have
a
full
plan
ready
to
go,
and
we
just
you
know
we
possibly
need
to
be
preparing
for
natural
disaster
things
at
this
time,
but
let's
have
a
plan
ready
immediately
afterwards
and
let's
be
really
ready
to
do
that
and
talk
about
these
things
openly.
So
no
one
gets
hurt
in
these
sort
of
natural
disaster
things
and
and
let's
just
be
building
our
good
communities
with
good
ideas
and
not
be
afraid
to
share
those
ideas.
Thank
you.
B
Hello
go
ahead
hi.
This
is
dennis
alexander
from
district
7
and
I've
been
part
of
district
7
since
1976
since
I
was
born.
So
I
have
a
question
so
everybody's
talking
about
housing
for
the
homeless
or
for
anybody
who
needs
it,
but
you
know
you
know
I
drive
around
san
jose.
I
drive
around
san
jose
all
the
time
and
you
know
there's
all
these
buildings
being
built.
B
You
know
you
guys
are
spending
money.
You
guys
have
been
spending
money
on
all
these
big
buildings,
downtown
san,
jose,
okay,
there's
a
lot
of
homeless
people.
I
walk
into
the
jungle.
I
go
down
to
the
jungle.
The
jungle
is
back,
the
jungle
is
there,
you
guys
are
not
spending
money.
You
guys
are
building
all
these
darn
buildings
downtown
for
the
rich
for
the
rich.
You
guys
that
you
guys
keep
saying.
Oh,
oh,
we're
going
to
help
the
homeless
we're
going
to
help
the
homeless.
You've
been
saying
this
for
for
years.
B
For
years
now
you
have
mr
samuel
cardo
there.
Sam
licardo
does
not
care
about
the
homeless.
He
cares
about
putting
money
in
his
pocket.
So
you
know
we
need
to
talk
about
real
issues.
You
know
help
the
homeless
help
people
find
homes,
people
that
need
homes,
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
san
jose
that
need
homes.
There's
a
lot
of
people,
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
lost
their
homes.
There's
a
lot
of
people
in
district
7
district
7.
B
B
H
There's
no
getting
your
gut
there's
no
getting
out
of
this.
The
more
you're
gonna
build
the
more
you're
gonna
get
how
many
have-nots
are
you
gonna,
be
able
to
take
care
of?
You
have
to
ask
yourself
that
you
have
to
ask
yourself:
are
you
willing
to
pay
for
entire
families
everything
their
food,
their
housing,
their
health
care,
their
utilities?
H
It
there's
not
enough
money
in
the
world
for
all
this.
I
think
the
promises
that
you're
making
are
really
crazy.
I
mean,
I
understand,
helping
people
a
little
bit
or
you
know
having
a
limitation
to
it,
but
the
way
it's
going
here
this
is
all
that
is
talked
about
during
city
council,
the
unhoused,
the
unhoused,
the
in-house.
H
What
about
have
you
ever
talked
about
the
taxpayers
and
the
rate
payers
and
the
people
who
have
to
pay
high
insurance
costs
for
everything
I
mean
many
people
are
doing
well,
but
I
mean
one
wrong
move
you
could
be.
You
could
be
out
of
luck
if
you
had
a
major
health
setback
or
a
stock
market
downturn
or
a
job
loss.
I
don't
think
you
guys
realize
that
the
people
who
pay
for
all
this
are
completely
ignored
in
your
meetings.
People
never
ever
talk
about
the
taxpayer.
It's
always
we
need
to
give
more
to
the
unhoused.
H
We
need
to
give
more
to
the
police
and
fire.
That's
all
you
ever
hear
about,
or
you
know
some
fringe
group.
Oh,
they
need
to
have
more.
Did
you
ever
think
about
the
taxpayers
need
less
taxes,
they
need
less
fees,
they
need
less
regulations
like
where
their
flagpole
is
planted
in
their
house
or
or
or
a
shed.
No,
that
you
guys
abuse
the
law-abiding
tax-paying
citizens
that
don't
complain.
H
I
complain
I
complain
on
everyone's
behalf,
who's
getting
railroaded
by
you,
people,
you
guys
you
guys
like
to
just
pose
for
pictures
and
hand
out
free
things.
That's
what
you
do
you
guys
should
be
ashamed
of
yourselves.
It's
a
terrible
city,
it's
a
terrible
city
council
and
I
can't
believe
that
there
isn't
more
people.
M
K
J
Well,
you
know,
like
I
said
before,
mayor
lucrative,
you
can
correct
us,
but
then
give
us
a
chance
to
to
correct
you
know
after
you
tell
what
the
problem
is,
that
that
would
be
helpful
in
regards
to
the
housing
crisis
that
we're
experiencing.
You
know
we,
you
know,
and
the
equitableness
we
should
not
be
building
in
south
san
jose.
That's
the
problem!
Because
of
our
climate
crisis.
J
I
am
in
the
core
in
a
very
resilient,
rich
neighborhood
of
district
six,
the
garden
in
alameda,
part
of
the
greater
rose
garden
and
and-
and
you
have
denied
housing
here
and
this.
This
has
been
the
problem.
My
son,
who
ran
for
city
council
against
deb
davis
because
of
the
business
friendly
and
not
dealing
with
our
crisis,
which
are
housing
and
our
our
climate
crisis,
and
so
now
we
you
know
so
and
then
we
were
denied
affordable
housing.
We
tried
to
put
affordable
housing
in
our
neighborhood.
J
You
know
what
you're
giving
us
is
a
hotel
and,
and
then
the
developer
try
to
put
a
housing
here
and
you
you
denied
it
because
it's
polluted-
and
you
know
it's
like,
oh
well,
that
that
could
be
solved
by
you
know
addressing
the
pollution
versus
you
know
segregating
the
community
from
the
polluters,
and
I
always
said
that
the
benefit
of
us
living
here
has
been
that
we're
keeping
an
eye
on
the
polluters,
and
we
we
dress
that
with
world
coach
torah
the
diesel
bus
depot
and
that
you
know
your
you
as
a
government
needed
to
protect
us
from
harm
by
controlling
the
businesses,
their
noise
and
pollution.
N
Yes,
thank
you
good
evening,
my
own
council,
so
I
I
think
all
of
us
at
the
end
of
the
day
are
for
affordable
housing.
The
question
is:
where
do
we
put
it
and
I
think
to
be
able
to
make
the
right
decisions?
You've
got
to
start
with
good
data.
So
I'm
going
to
speak
about
concerns.
I
have
about
the
data
in
my
particular
neck
of
the
woods.
So
if
you
look
at
the
council,
remember
perales
memo,
you
will
see
that
my
particular
area.
N
It
actually
shows
up
in
purple,
which
is
the
95
crime
and
the
first
issue.
I've
got
is
it's.
How
recent
is
this
data
and
then
the
real
issue
is
granularity,
because
the
census
census
tract
is
immense
and
actually
consists
of.
Three
separate
areas
to
the
south
is
myriad.
This
is
where
I
live.
We
have
got
some
apartments
and
primary
single
family
housing
and
then,
as
you
move
further
north,
you
get
kaiser
hospital
and
vt
light
rail
which
quite
frankly,
should
be
affordable.
Housing.
I've
mentioned
this
before
and
then
you
move
further
north.
N
You
can
now
hit
the
the
cattle
urban
with
a
tree
spider.
Who
was
the
very
first
urban
village
in
san
jose
and
and
the
issue
I
have
there?
Okay
is:
where
is
all
this
crime
coming
from?
Well,
if
you
go
and
look
at
this
urban
village,
this
is
where
we
have.
The
side
show
that
you
probably
heard
about
the
news
on
sunday
night
and
by
the
way,
we're
back
at
three
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
people
are
getting
killed
in
broad
daylight.
N
So,
in
closing,
I
I
think
we've
got
to
start
looking
at
this
data
in
a
more
granular
way
and
figure
out
how
what
used
to
be
a
secured
ibm
facility
has
now
turned
into
an
area
of
crime
and
whether
we're
going
to
see
a
repeating
pattern
in
other
urban
villages
elsewhere
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
Thank
you.
C
I
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
staff
for
the
long
work
on
this.
It's
been
some
time
coming
and
certainly
a
conversation.
I've
been
having
with
your
department,
jackie
and
and
my
community
members
for
a
couple
years
now-
and
so
I
am
excited
to
be
here
at
this
point
and
and
hope
we
can
craft
a
direction
where
we
can
move
forward
with
some
consensus,
and
I
think
we
have.
I
We
have
a
lot
of
really
good
work
in
front
of
us
and
and
maybe
just
a
few
suggestions
from
from
the
dais
up
here
to
to
try
and
make
it
just
a
little
better.
So
I
I
think,
as
we
see
and
and
we've
seen
this
in
a
number
of
different
reports,
this
is
not
the
only
time
we
we
hear
this
repeated
theme,
but
we
know
we
need
affordable
housing
built
at
a
much
higher
rate.
I
We
know
we
need
it
all
throughout
our
our
city
and
certainly
there
shouldn't
be
any
neighborhoods
that
are
exclusive
to
particular
incomes
and
I
think,
as
we
we
build
to
work
out
this
policy.
I
Our
hope
is
that
we
don't
repeat
the
patterns
that
obviously
that
we
intend
to
to
avoid
here,
and
so,
as
staff
put
in
the
report
category,
one
neighborhoods
make
up
34
of
all
census
tracks
in
san
jose,
but
only
are
home
to
nine
percent
of
the
affordable
housing
units
and,
and
that
slide
was,
was
very
telling
as
you.
You
look
across
the
board
and
and
breaking
that
down
even
further
most
of
the
units
that
are
affordable
actually
in
category
one.
I
Neighborhoods
are
a
majority
of
family
or
senior
housing,
and
only
one
percent
of
of
all
supportive
housing
in
the
city
in
those
34
percent
of
those
neighborhoods.
And
so
it's
it's
also
skewed,
not
necessarily
just
in
the
overall
amount
of
affordable
housing,
but
also
in
the
type
in
the
levels
of
the
levels
of
affordability.
I
We
know
that
our
numbers
of
of
one
house
continue
to
to
grow
and
we
know
that
they
affect
our
entire
city
citywide
and
not
just
in
one
district.
But
we
do
recognize
and
I
know
I
recognize-
and
I
remind
my
community
members-
that
we
do
see
disproportionately
higher
numbers
in
areas
like
district
3
and
around
the
core,
and
so
that's
where
the
the
term,
equitable
distribution
really
comes
into
play,
because
the
the
intent
and
idea
here
is
not
to
somehow
have
the
exact
same
amount
within
every
district
or
every
neighborhood
throughout
the
city.
I
But
it's
an
equitable
share,
which
today,
I
think
we
can
easily
say
we
don't
have
that.
Where
I
do
have
some
concerns
is
the
the
type
of
affordable
housing?
Obviously
that's
being
built
predominantly
in
in
category
two,
but
but
most
most
predominantly
in
category
three
neighborhoods.
I
Each
of
the
city's
fully
100
permanent
supportive
housing
developments
are
in
category
three
areas
and
we've
seen
an
increase
in
in
calls
for
service,
specifically
in
those
areas,
putting
a
strain
on
our
our
city
resources.
I
I
will
note
that
the
majority
of
those
calls
are
actually
coming
from
within
the
developments
themselves,
and
I
know
that
that's
a
major
concern
from
community
members
initially
when
we
are
approving
or
discussing
approval,
permanent
support
of
housing
that
somehow
it's
going
to
take
an
until
burden
on
these
surrounding
neighborhoods.
I
I
It's
a
it's
a
positive
data
point,
but
on
on
another,
when
you
do
have
such
an
increase
in
calls
for
service
to
one
particular
area,
it
does
put
a
strain
on
resources
like
fire
and
police,
and
what
that
could
do
is
it
could
tie
them
up
to
be
less
available
to
calls
for
service
amongst
the
the
neighborhood
there
in
the
area
in
the
districts
that
those
firefighters
and
police
officers
are
responding
to
in
just
a
four
month
period
from
may
of
2020
to
september
of
2020,
there
were
over
170
calls
down
at
2nd
street
studios
again
the
majority
of
those
coming
on
site
in
within
both
our
fire
department.
I
Our
police
department
raised
this
concern
to
to
me
and
my
office
that
many
of
these
calls
were
issues
that
they
felt
could
be
addressed
through
the
better
services
on
site
and
again,
another
sort
of
a
topic
that
we
can
discuss
in
regards
to
how
it
is
that
we're
making
permanent
support
of
housing
and
even
better
function.
I
So
as
we
move
forward
with
with
this
policy,
I
do
think
category
one
should
should
we
hopefully
should
see
a
better
representation
of
all
levels
of
affordability
and
again
to
what
we
see
today,
where
it's
predominantly
senior
or
higher
levels
of
income.
I
Our
hope,
my
hope,
is
that
we're
actually
seeing
a
better
distribution
of
the
types
of
affordable
housing,
and
I
I
recognize
in
the
memo
jackie
that
you
have
on
page
nine.
It
is
you
you
speak
to
that
there
on
the
the
accounting
for
different
populations
in
the
last
paragraph
they're
talking
about
as
steph
evaluates
the
effectiveness.
The
signing
policy
populations
such
as
family
senior
and
supportive
housing
will
be
included
in
the
analysis
and
then
any
uneven
distributions
identified
in
that
analysis
will
be
addressed
by
adjusting
the
scoring
criteria.
I
And
so
is
it
safe
to
say
that,
then
you
will
be
looking
at
supportive
housing.
For
instance,
a
hundred
percent
primitive
supportive
housing
you'll
be
analyzing
that
through
this
policy
and
through
these,
these
next
few
years,
so
where
we
can
actually
ensure
that
we're
not
over
concentrating
particular
types
of
deeply
affordable
housing
in
certain
areas
and
in
claiming
a
victory
if
you
will
and
that
we're
we're
doing
a
better
job
at
dispersing
all
types.
D
I
So,
if
you'll
both
monitor,
but
also
with
this
next
no
foot,
you're
you're,
going
to
automatically
begin
to
to
to
incentivize
or
disincentivize
permanent
supportive
housing
in
particular
areas.
D
Correct
and
then
we'll
see
in
the
first
round
what
the
impact
of
doing
points
does
in
terms
of
the
mix
of
the
affordable
housing,
and
we
probably
have
to
go
through
another
cycle.
But
absolutely
we
would
report
out
what
the
impact
was.
I
I
So
great,
no
I'm
wrapping
up.
That's
why
I
was
looking
so
henry
is
that.
I
I
am
so
I'm
actually
going
to
try
to
to
come
to
a
motion
that
incorporates
all
my
colleagues
memos,
including
the
one
that
I've
co-signed
with
councilmember,
esparza
and
jimenez,
and
and
also
find
a
way
to
to
weave
in
an
ability
for
you
to
release
the
nofa,
but
not
completely
and
I'll
describe
it.
So
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
does
include
again,
my
memo
comes
from
within
us
and
then
the
joint
memo
from
you
know
pulling
it
up
now.
Here.
I
Excuse
me,
the
mayor
vice
mayor,
councilmember,
cohen,
foley
and
mayhem
and
I'll
just
add,
I
know
maybe
they'll
be
speaking
to
it,
so
I
won't
chime
in,
but
I
really
do
appreciate
some
of
the
the
additions
there
in
regards
to
the
county,
and
I've
heard
that
as
well,
and
I
share
that
sentiment
on
on
how
we
get
a
match
here
on
how
this
is
done,
because
we
know
that
the
county
is
funding
a
lot
of
projects
within
the
city
of
san
jose
that
we
may
not
be
funding.
I
And
if
there's
not
a
you
know
a
match,
then
then
it's
not
going
to
work
as
well
as
we'd
like.
So
I
I
appreciate
that
and
the
different
analysis
that
my
colleagues
are
looking
to
make.
Obviously
the
one
challenge
in
councilman
dennis
excludes
our
recommendation.
One
is
in
regards
to
a
potential
delay
of
four
weeks,
as
you
pointed
out
in
in
your
supplemental
jackie,
if
we
do
want
to
do
a
little
deeper
analysis
on
the
the
census,
how
we're
how
we're
looking
at
this
census
data
and
the
90th
versus
the
95th
percentile.
I
So
my
thinking
would
be-
and
tell
me
if
this
is
possible-
would
be.
Could
we
release
the
nofa
for
category
one
and
and
two
projects
that
fit
within
category
one
and
two
and
if
we
don't
necessarily
have
the
data
right
now
on
the
90th
percentile
for
the
next
four
weeks?
If
that's
what
you
suggest
it
will
take,
could
we
utilize
the
mayor's
game
prevention
hotspot
areas
as
a
as
a
geographic
zone?
I
I
recognize-
and
I
agree
with
your
memo
where
you
said
you
don't
want
to
use
that
on
an
ongoing
basis,
because
they
change
right
pretty
frequently
and
it's
it.
It's
it's
not
exactly
a
science,
the
way
that
that
the
90th
percentile
would
be,
and
so
I
would
prefer
to
use
the
90th
percentile,
I'm
going
to
save
some
of
the
advocacy
on
that.
I
I
do
agree
with
it
for
for
my
colleague,
councilmember
esparza,
but
I
would
like
to
see,
if
that's
possible,
if
you
think
that
we
could,
that
would
allow
us
then
to
to
release
the
note
for
now
and
not
have
to
hold
on
to
it
for
another
four
weeks.
D
Yeah,
so
just
to
provide
additional
clarity.
Our
response
was,
it
would
take
the
consultant
four
weeks
and
then,
after
I
said
that
rachel
reminded
me
that
then
we
have
to
add
on
the
amount
of
time
that
staff
takes
to
actually
then
take
their
report.
Put
it
into
a
memo,
get
feedback.
So
that's
another
four
to
six
weeks
to
do
that
so
really
to
accomplish
anything.
D
You
know
we're
eight
to
12
weeks
out
to
do
item
number
one
properly,
because
it's
a
part
of
it
would
be
an
iteration
making
sure
we
understand,
and
then
we
probably
would
want
to
go
back
to
get
some
feedback
on
at
least
so.
We
know
what
the
community
thinks
about
these
changes.
D
I
Now
it's
impossible
to
this
would
be
the
stop
gap
right
in
my
mind.
So
then
you
can
release
a
nofa
now,
and
so
I
thought,
maybe
four
weeks
so
if
it
is
going
to
be
somewhere
over
12
weeks
or
eight
weeks,
if
we
think
we
can
get
it
sooner,
then
at
that
point
we
can
come
back
and
refine
it
to
to
really
utilize.
If
we
decide
we
want
to
right
the
90th,
percentile
and
potentially
a
different
analysis
on
on
these
census
blocks.
E
So
we
did
take
a
look
at
the
the
gang
prevention
hot
spots
versus
what
our
existing
category
three
neighborhoods
look
like,
and
we
did
we
have.
We
have
mapped
that
we
have
looked
at
that
because
that
was
definitely
something
we
did
explore
and
thought
through,
and
so
so
I
would
say.
Yes,
we
have
the
maps,
so
I
mean
we
could
we
could
look
at
that.
E
I
think
again,
we
were
hesitant
in
moving
forward
that
with
the
gang
prevention
hotspots
for
a
couple
of
reasons,
one
of
them,
like
you
mentioned
they
do
change
over
time,
and-
and
I
understand,
if
you're
trying
to
make
this
a
one-time
thing-
that's
a
little
bit
different,
but
we
were
also
when
you
look
at
the
the
distribution
across
the
city
of
where
the
housing
is
and
how,
where
the
people
are
and
everything
that
analysis
just
doesn't
take
take
into
account
where
these
hot
spots
are
right.
E
E
That's
somewhat
inconsistent
with
the
the
information
we
have
about
those
areas
and
it
may
it
may
change
how
we
want
to
distribute
the
future
units
just
because
we
can
will
understand
the
underlying
data
in
a
better
way
right,
where
we
may
understand
that
it's
a
greater
percentage
of
our
population
that
lives
in
these
areas
now,
and
so
it
just
it
just
changes
all
of
the
math.
I
And
that's
you
know,
I
think,
that's
where
we're
at
already
at
the
beginning
of
this,
but
at
the
same
time
I
also
understand
and
don't
necessarily
want
to
hold
up
a
nofa
that
we've
been
holding
up,
and
so
I'm
trying
to
find
a
middle
ground
there
to
to
get
us
to
to
do
both
recognizing
you
have
the
data
for
the
mayor's
game
prevention
task
force.
You've
analyzed
that
that
was
an
option
that
we
could
have
chose.
But
I
agree
that
it's
not
an
option
we
should
choose
to
stick
with.
I
I
just
think
it's
a
good
option
that
we
could
do
to
open
up
the
nofa
now
and
then
allow
you
to
take
your
time
and
do
the
work
and
come
back
to
present
to
us,
the
90th
percentile,
and
at
that
point
you
know,
as
we
move
forward
and
proceed
over
the
next
few
years
and
whatever
other
nofas
we
have,
you
know
it:
it's
either
the
90th
percentile
or
if
this
body
decides
no,
we
want
to
stick
with
the
95.
At
that
point,
we
we,
you
know,
we
refine
it
out
of
this
this
initial
period.
I
This
is
really
just
an
opportunity
to
release
the
nofa
now.
Otherwise,
if
that's
you
know,
for
me,
I'd
prefer
to
just
wait,
then,
and
and
in
my
mind,
get
the
analysis
on
the
98
percentile
and
move
forward.
So
it's
an
attempt
to
try
to
do
both
over
this
this
next.
You
know,
however,
many
weeks,
so
it
sounds
like
it's
possible
at
least
and
I'll
hear
from
my
my
colleagues
as
to
you
know
their
opinions
and,
like
I
said
I'll
defer
to
my
colleague,
councilmember
esparza.
I
I
I
fully
agree
that
I
think
it's
a
big
miss
that
these
these
predominantly
you
know
historical
hot
spots
within
the
marriage
game.
Pressure
task
force
somehow
didn't
match
up
with
the
data
at
the
95
percentile
level,
but
they
do
match
better
in
my
mind
with
the
90th
and
that's
where
you
know,
I
think,
there's
a
real
good
argument
as
to
why
so
I'll
make
that
motion.
It'll
again
it'll
incorporate
everybody's
memo
and
direction,
except
it
it's
also,
including
as
councilmember
adenis,
had
excluded
our
recommendation
one.
I
It
would
include
our
recommendation
one
with
this
caveat
that
would
allow
the
nofa
to
open
up
now
using
mayor's
game
prevention
task
force
hot
spots
as
the
additional
you
know,
criteria
in
in
the
category
three.
F
C
Okay,
councilman
frost,
I'm
just
going
to
clarify,
make
sure
I
understand
exactly
the
motion.
It
is
to
open
the
nofa
now
with
a
revision
to
category
three.
All
of
the
other
elements
of
your
memo
are
included.
Is
that
right,
all
the
all.
A
I
A
different
part
she
had
included
the
the
you
know,
also
recommendations
from
from
our
memos
right.
K
I
Given
some
some
adjustments
to
it
so,
for
instance,
her
recommendation
one
had
left
out
our
recommendation
one,
and
so
I'm
I'm
finding
a
way
to
include
that
back
in
she
had
some
some
additions
to
to
your
recommendation
in
regards
to
the
locus
this
2a,
the
location
of
the
affordable
housing
project,
category
neighborhoods
that
secured
funding
upon
implementation,
signing
policy
to
recognition
three,
so
that
that
addition,
which
I
was
fine
with,
and
the
information
as
well,
I'm
fine
with
on
2
2b
her
2b.
I
K
C
Okay
and
that's
the
secondary's
understanding
as
well-
okay,
great
yes,
jackie!
Could
I
can.
I
just
asked
couple
follow-up
questions
since
you're
on
the
topic
of
crimes,
I'm
trying
to
understand
better
how
we
kind
of
got
clarifying.
C
O
Hello,
can
you
all
hear
me?
Yes,
great
hello,
thank
you
for
having
me,
and
so
yes,
the
the
crime,
the
violent
crime
rate
is
per
1000
people,
so
it
is
intended
to
be
an
apples-to-apples
comparison
across
each
of
the
census
tracts
in
the
city.
C
Yeah,
my
question
is
a
little
different,
which
is
that
you
know
I'm
looking
at
the
map
and
what
ends
up
being
category.
Three
neighborhoods
is
a
large
portion
of
our
downtown
core
where
our
entertainment
zone
is
located
and
we
have
a
lot
of
nightclubs
and
so
there's
crime
associated
with
those
nightclubs.
That's
not
doesn't
necessarily
reflect
quality
of
life
in
the
downtown
and-
and
I
think
there
would
be
obviously
there
are
varying
views
of
this,
but
some
would
say
that
would
essentially
distort
the
data
and
did
did
we
control
for
that
in
some
way,.
O
Right
so
I'll
I'll
try
to
I'll
try
to
say
what
I
said
before
differently.
If
more
people
live
in,
if
the,
if
the
population
density
is
higher
in
the
downtown
and
the
area
around
different
nightclubs,
then
this
approach
to
calculating
violent
crime
rates
should
account
for
that,
because
you
know
20
violent
crime
incidents.
There
would
be
different
in
a
much
less
dense
neighborhood.
It
would
be,
you
know,
relatively
more
impactful,
and
so
you
know
only
calculating
violent
crime
rates
relative
to
the
same
population
should
account
for
what
you're
describing.
O
D
I
think
what
he's
also
trying
to
say
is
that
the
density
of
downtown,
because
it
is
the
downtown
should
in
most
cities,
is
the
highest
density
of
the
city.
Yes
right,
and
so
because
the
greatest
number
of
people
live
there,
we're
going
to
anticipate
it's
going
to
be
absorbed
just
by
the
numbers
of
people
versus
in
these
other
districts.
You
don't
have
this
level
of
density
that
we
would
one
would
expect
in
a
downtown
area,
so
it
evens
out
because
of
the
numbers
of
the
population
yeah.
C
I
guess
the
challenge
I'm
grappling
with
is
first,
you
know
we
have
had
a
particular
challenge
in
building
the
residential
density
we'd
all
love
to
have
in
the
downtown.
It
is
still
their
large
swaths
of
the
downtown,
where
it's
entirely
commercial
and
office,
long
island
avenue,
for
example.
So
we
just
don't
have
a
typical
downtown
density,
it's
actually
quite
a
bit
lower,
even
though
we
do
have
a
few
high-rises.
C
Unfortunately,
not
many,
and
I
just
think
about
other
challenges
with
using
crime
data.
For
example,
we
know
about
the
fact
that
many
neighborhoods
there's
much
lower
reporting
rates,
and
so
that's
going
to
affect-
and
I
guess
all
this
is
getting
to
the
question
of-
why?
Wouldn't
we
just
use
income
as
a
proxy
for
whatever
we're
really
trying
to
get
at,
because
crime
is
so
very
difficult
to
define
in
so
many
ways
in
a
way
that
really
accurately
reflects
what's
going
on
on
the
ground?
The
data
is
challenging.
O
Yeah,
no,
it's
a
good
question
so
and
by
income
you
mean
poverty
rate.
I
would
assume.
O
Right
so
so,
the
idea
here
in
defining
category
three
areas
is
to
select
criteria
that
academic
research
has
shown
are
very
strongly
related
to
outcomes
for
for
residents,
particularly
residents
of
affordable
housing,
and
so
that
so
on
one
hand.
The
data
in
the
research
is
really
clear
on
the
negative
impacts
that
concentrated
poverty
can
have
on
outcomes
and
that's
what
the
high
poverty
threshold
is
intended
to
capture.
O
The
data
is
also
clear
on
the
negative
impacts
of
living
in
proximity
to
high
rates
of
violent
crime,
especially
on
kids,
but
on
all
populations
and
and
these
often
correlate
with
each
other,
but
not
always,
and
so
you
know,
the
idea
here
was
to
use
the
same
data
source
that
has
been
used
in
studies
across
the
country,
and
so
that's
the
those
are
the
crime
categories
that
jackie
described
earlier.
O
O
And
so
that's
why
the
95th
percentile
was
selected
is
because
you
know
san
jose
is
a
relatively
low
crime
city,
even
if
some
parts
of
it
have
higher
rates
of
crime
and
there
you
know
the
data
that
we
looked
at
showed
a
pretty
significant
jump
from
the
90th
to
the
95th
percentile,
suggesting
that
exposure
to
crime
is
meaningfully
higher
in
those
areas,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
just
identify
the
few
areas
of
the
city
where
you
know
from
the
perspective
of
the
goals
of
the
siding
policy,
the
city
should
be.
O
D
Okay
and
mayor,
we
also
looked
at
this
whole
issue
and
looked
at
the
public
safety
committee
regarding
the
kind
of
data
polls
they
make
when
they're
looking
at
these
types
of
issues-
and
this
is
the
same
data
poll
that
they
traditionally
start
with
so
even
gang
prevention
task
force
traditionally
looks
at
this
data
pool
when
they're
even
making
their
own
decisions.
They
do
take
it
a
step
further
because
they
have
this
iterative
process
by
which
they
engage
the
hundred
plus
groups
that
are
part
of
their
initiative.
F
Thank
you,
mayor
and,
and
I
actually
really
appreciate
where
you
were
going
with
that,
I
actually
I
pulled
a
memo,
a
previous
city
memo
going
back
decades
and
the
1989
dispersion
policy
looked
at
income
and
I
and
I
pulled
and
it
it
had
a
range
to
and
then
later
on,
in
2009
they
looked
at
having
a
range
to
include
a
family
of
four
making
between
zero
and
85
a
year,
so
that
was
done
in
2009
by
in
a
memo
signed
by
leslie
krukko,
the
original
memo
from
1989.
F
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
work
from
then
council
member
blanca
alvarado,
who
who
brought
forward
the
city's
dispersion
policy
out
of
concerns
about
disproportionate
impacts
to
the
low-income
communities
that
she
represented
back
then,
and
so
it's
you
know,
this
conversation
isn't
new.
I
guess-
and
so
I
actually
really
do
appreciate
the
points
that
you're
raising,
and
so
I
did
want
to
thank
a
few
folks.
F
I
wanted
to
thank
councilmember
perales
for
his
leadership.
He
had
been
talking
about
the
dispersion
policy
when
I
got
here,
and
it
was
already
a
concern
then,
and
then
I
wanted
to
really
thank
the
mayor.
The
vice
mayor
and
council
members,
cohen
foley
and
man
for
their
memo,
basically
stepping
up
and
saying,
hey,
let's
figure
out
a
way
to
bring
more
affordable
housing
to
our
resource-rich
communities,
and
so
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that
tonight,
because
we've
had
many
discussions
over
equity,
and
this
is
part
of
it
right.
F
This
is
part
of
it.
It's
our
our
neighborhoods.
Our
residents
are
crying
out
and
that's
what
probably
came
through
in
the
memo
and
tonight
from
the
folks
coming
to
speak.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
councilmember
adenas
for
her
memo.
I
thought
I
I
think
one
of
the
things
similar
to
kovid.
We
are
learning
we
can't.
We
are
not
an
island.
F
F
Even
if
we
went
our
own
direction,
the
county
provides
they're
the
supportive
in
the
permanent
support
of
housing
and
council
member
perales,
and
I
have
the
two
of
the
largest
permanent
supportive
housing
developments
in
the
nation,
not
in
the
county.
F
Not
in
the
state
but
in
the
nation,
and
so
when
we
give
our
feedback
and
when
our
residents
give
their
feedback,
it's
based
on
experience-
and
I
think
that's
part
of
the
goal
is
to
have
real
conversations
about
what
it
takes
to
move
forward
so
that
we're
not
back
in
1989
having
the
same
conversations
or
having
the
same
conversations
as
we
had
in
1989,
and
I
wanted
to
bring
up
a
couple
of
points
before
I
brought
up
some
other
related
issues.
So
one
of
them
is.
F
F
It
was
about
the
services
it
was
about
the
housing
it
was
about
all
of
it
and
I'll
offer
two
things
that
I
think
would
go
a
long
way
in
in
developments
in
category
three
communities
and
providing
services
that
would
alleviate
pressure
on
the
surrounding
neighborhoods,
and
that
is
one
medical
clinic
and
services
on
site
for
both
the
residents
and
the
neighborhood
renaissance
place.
F
The
county's
largest
permanent
supportive
housing
development
opened
in
district
7
in
january
of
last
year.
I'm
still
waiting
for
a
clinic,
I'm
still,
I'm
still
waiting
for
on-site
services
and
in
2020
renaissance
place
remember
had
just
opened
it
had
207
fire
calls.
213
pd
calls
for
a
total
of
420
calls
this
year.
F
F
I
represent
the
busiest
fire
station
in
the
county
in
the
city,
actually
probably
in
the
county
as
well,
so
we
need
to
provide
services
on
site
so
that
residents
don't
have
to
wait
longer
to
have
an
ambulance
show
up
to
their
heart
attack
right.
So
these
are
real
issues
that
impact
whole
neighborhoods
and
then
we
can
go
in.
Then
we
can
go
into
the
luxuries
of
libraries
and
community
centers,
and
things
like
that,
but
neighborhoods
like
mine,
aren't
even
getting
a
basic
level
of
service.
F
So
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
remind
folks
of
a
couple
of
things.
District
3
and
district
7
have
by
far
the
most
affordable
units.
District
7
has
the
most
extremely
low
income
and
the
most
permanent
supportive
housing
units.
Today,
that's
going
to
change,
I
think
council
member
pros
will
beat
me
soon
in
the
city.
F
District
7
has
the
lowest
market
rate
units
in
the
city,
but
together
district
3
in
district
7
includes
54
percent
of
the
extremely
low
income
units
city-wide
and
nearly
40
percent
of
the
total
affordable
housing
units
in
the
city.
So
if
I
went
back
to
1989
or
2009,
it
would
still
be
district
3
in
district
7..
F
I
wanted
to
just
keep
it
real
to
be
rooted
in
experience
and
in
the
realities
that
we
face
on
the
ground,
and
that
is
just
to
state
the
obvious
about
high
violent
crime
that
underpins
the
category
three
designation
that
doesn't
fit
with
the
facts
on
the
ground.
It
doesn't
fit
with
the
community's
experience.
F
F
Only
a
relatively
small
portion
of
police
district
lincoln
is
included
in
category
three
again.
Police
district
lincoln
is
wholly
within
district
7
and
it
is
by
far
the
busiest
police
district
in
the
entire
city.
So,
that's
what
I
mean
it
just
doesn't
make
sense,
and
so
I
just
wouldn't
note
and
I
could
go
into
the
methodology.
I
just
think
that
councilmember
perales's
motion
for
a
little
bit
of
extra
time
would
make
sense.
F
So
comparing
us
to
oakland
and
san
francisco
for
violent
crime
is
an
unhelpful
metric.
We
are
san
jose.
We
should
be
looking
at
san
jose
crime
and
san
jose
resources,
and
so
I
wanted
to
say
that
redoing
this
analysis
with
an
adjusted
methodology
that
more
accurately
captures
our
high
crime
areas
it'll
take
some
time.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
davis,.
P
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
you,
jackie,
for
your
personal
story.
Of
course
thank
the
staffer
for
all
the
work,
but
your
story
really
drives
home.
Why?
We
think
that
mixed
income
neighborhoods
are
a
societal
good,
and
I
think
we
do
all
agree
on
that
point
and
it's
just
the
methodology
about
how
we
get
there.
That's
the
question,
but
I
do
want
to
ask
you
about.
I
think
your
first
goal
was
about
being
in
line
with
state
and
federal
policies.
What
are
those
state
and
federal
policies,
and
why
do
we
need
one?
D
Well,
furthering
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing
means
that
we
need
to
be
proactive
in
dismantling
ways
where
we're
actually
not
meeting
the
goals
of
fair
housing.
So
in
this
case,
when
we
look
at
how
we
fund
we've
been
able
to
see
that
we're
not
funding
in
all
areas
of
the
city
and
so
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
says
we
need
to
be
proactive
in
making
a
change
in
our
policy
and
how
we
fund
in
order
to
ensure
that
all
cities,
all
parts
of
the
city,
are
available
and
have
affordable
housing.
D
Okay,
so
it
used
to
be
you
could
just
the
the
federal
government
didn't
ask
you
to
be
proactive.
It
just
said
you
know
you
could
be
investigating
fair
housing
abuses,
but
now
really
it's
saying
you
need
to
look
to
see
where
these,
where
you're
seeing
the
inequities
and
to
take
action
against
them.
So
hence,
why
we're
doing
this
as
well.
D
We're
required
to
see
where
we
have
in
equities
in
our
system
and
to
address
them,
and
so
this
is
one
situation
where
we
can
clearly
see
that
our
funding
is
not
evenly
being
distributed
across
the
city,
and
so
this
is
a
policy
that
is
proposed
to
make
those
changes,
and
that
would
be
consistent
with
that.
Affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
law.
P
Okay,
it
looked
to
me
and
I'll
admit
it
was.
Oh,
there
was
a
lot,
so
I
may
have
missed
it.
It
looked
to
me
like
we
were
looking
at
the
current
distribution
of
existing
and
pipeline,
affordable
housing,
not
only
things
that
we
have
funded,
only
projects
that
we
have
funded
so
so
did
we
look
at
only
what
we
funded
and
whether
it's
disparate.
D
P
So
I
understand
that,
but
my
understanding
is
that
the
at
least
the
and
I'm
gonna
get
them
wrong,
because
I
always
forget
what
they're
called
the
state
agencies
the
sydlak
and
the
tcac
they've
they've
had
their
policies
for
only
five
years,
so
it
may
have
been
predating
policies
that
already
exist.
P
So,
yes,
I
understand
we
where
we
are
right
now,
but
if
it's
already
kind
of
changing
because
of
what
exists,
then
I
don't
understand.
If
we're
actually
are
we
solving
a
problem
or
are
we
creating
more
barriers
for
affordable
housing
to
get
built
because
they
already
have
so
many
different
hoops
to
jump
through
as
we
as
we
know,
especially
in
getting
their
funding
stack
and
if,
if
the,
if
the
policy
about
citing
is
somewhere
else
in
their
funding
stack,
then
why
should
we
duplicate
that
work?.
D
D
D
They
do
and
they
had
been
up
until
the
last
year,
getting
funding
to
get
there
to
to
move
forward.
P
D
Correct,
but
just
so
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
we
saw,
there
were
two
rounds
of
which
no
city
of
san
jose
project
got
funded
and
at
one
point
there
were
no
bay
area
projects
that
got
funded
right.
That
could
have
gotten
funded.
Had
they
been
located
in
opportunity
areas,
it
did
not
didn't
shift
the
developers
thinking
in
terms
of
where
they
would
go.
So
I
think
we
really
need
to
take
a
local
action,
because
our
funding
is
the
first
funding
that
goes
in.
P
D
So
we're
like,
I
said
since
we've
had
these
discussions.
We've
seen
one
developer,
who's
actively
switched
to
looking
to
opportunity
areas,
parcels
and
has
been
able
to
acquire
three
of
them
and
part
of
our
work
that
we've
agreed
to
we
need
to
do
in.
This
first
phase
is
to
help
developers
identify
sites
and
also
ensure
that
the
city
doesn't
have
barriers,
that's
preventing
us
from
developing
in
category
one
neighborhoods.
P
P
D
Correct
the
goal
would
be
to
begin
to
see
more
development
in
category
three,
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
have
different
percentages
in
the
first
phase
is
to
ensure
that
we
can
at
least
fund
some
category
three
developments
that
are
in
that
we
know
that
are
in
the
pipeline
or
where
developers
have
already
put
money
down.
D
So
again,
there's
a
lot
of
room
in
category
two,
where
we've
seen
development
go,
there's
a
healthy
amount
of
opportunity
in
category
two
in
the
short
run.
So
we
don't
anticipate
in
the
next
three
years
that
we
would
not
be
able
to
use
all
of
our
funding
per
the
areas
that
we've
defined.
I
think
there
is
a
question
when
we
begin
to
shift
more
dramatically,
will
we
be
able
to
meet
those
targets
and
we
will
have
a
better
idea
after
the
first
three
years?
D
D
P
Okay,
I
appreciated
your
comments
on
the
acknowledging
the
differential
impacts
of
permanent
supportive
housing
versus
affordable
housing
that
the
neighbors
had
brought
up
and
by
the
way
I
want
to
say
all
the
public
comment
was
very
helpful
and
it,
and
it
does
help
to
hear
that
from
the
public
as
opposed
to
just
as
opposed
to
the
council
members.
Only
so
I
appreciate
your
your
comments
about
deducting
points
for
permanent
supportive
housing
in
category
three,
giving
more
points
for
permanent,
supportive
housing
and
and
family,
I
think,
is
what
I
heard
in
category
one.
P
But
what
about
the
neighborhoods
that
are
in
category
two
that
have
permanent
supportive
housing?
Already,
you
know
one
or
two
in
the
in
the
same
neighborhood.
Are
you?
Are
you
doing
any
kind
of
proximity?
P
For
that
I
mean
because
we
have
such
a
big
city
and
we
have
a
very,
very
different
neighborhoods.
P
Having
three
categories
makes
every
category
very
broad
right,
so
I'm
I
am
concerned
about
that
and
I've
I've
heard
from
neighbors
in
in
district
three
about
permanent
supportive
housing
and
how
that
has
changed
their,
how
that
has
changed
their
neighborhood
and
the
concerns,
and
I
think
council,
member
esparza
was
very
eloquent
in
her
recitation
of
what
she
has
seen
and
what
frankly,
services
have
been
promised
but
haven't
come
or
have
been
delayed
in
coming.
So
I
I
am
concerned
about
that.
How
does
this
policy
account
for
that,
especially
in
category
two.
D
So
we
are
trying
to
be
broad
because
we
want
to
increase
opportunities
across
the
spectrum.
We
don't
want
to
stop
affordable
housing
being
developed
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
The
policy's
perspective
is
on
the
experience
of
the
tenants
who
are
being
served
and
the
policy
is
focused
on
achieving
and
meeting
a
fair
housing
component.
D
P
C
D
P
D
So
we
have
had
some
challenges:
moving
people
right
off
the
streets
into
housing
and
the
behavior
of
people
who
have
been
on
the
streets,
utilizing
the
same
resources
they've
used
in
the
past,
so
calling
the
police
or
calling
fire
for
medical
needs.
When
potentially
they
even
have
resources
on
site,
but
not
not
utilizing
those
but
utilizing
services
that
they've
become
more
familiar
with.
D
And
so
there
is-
and
we
understand
a
need
for
time
and
adjustment
for
these
housing
sites
to
settle
down
for
an
entire
group
of
people,
because
it
is
unusual
to
have
an
entire
group
of
people
move
into
one
building
at
the
same
time
that
have
a
higher
need,
and
so
that
has
been
challenging
for
the
developments
to
absorb.
And
so
we
are
learning
and
we're
iterating
through
the
process
and
how
we
can
improve
and
increase
those
services
to
try
to
limit
their
impacts
on
the
neighborhoods.
P
P
Okay,
are
there
extra
points
for
the
78
of
census
blocks
that
have
zero,
affordable
housing?
P
P
E
So
so
yeah,
I
understand
the
question
so
the
way
that
the
policy
addresses.
That
is,
if
you
take
a
look
at
category
one,
we
have
a
very
small
amount
of
our
affordable
housing
in
that
category,
and
so
what
we're
doing
is
prioritizing
funding
in
category
one
which
is
chipping
away
at
that
78
percent
that
currently
does
not
have
affordable
housing
in
it.
P
E
E
P
D
And
we
would
probably
indicate
which
census
tracts
have
very
limited
opportunities
right.
So,
ultimately,
when
we
do
the
kind
of
the
site
review
in
category
one
neighborhoods,
which
is
what
we're
going
to
try
to
dig
more
deeply
into,
I
think
that's
where
we
would
have
an
opportunity
to
say:
here's
where
there
are
opportunities
for
development
and
and
then
here's
the
swaths
of
land,
where
there's
no
opportunity
and.
O
D
D
So
that's
going
to
be,
you
know
we're
going
to
start
an
evaluation
beginning
after
the
first
year,
and
so
we
anticipate
being
able
to
bring
these
full
package
of
recommendations
when
we
before
we
start
that
next,
you
know
that
next
period
next
phase.
E
E
We
did
commit
to
providing
an
annual
update
to
the
community
and
economic
development
committee
on
the
implementation
of
the
policy.
That's
about
how
we're
going
to
be
also
releasing
funds
and
as
we
release,
funds
is
really
when
we're
going
to
be
able
to
analyze
it
so
it.
You
know
it
will
be
following
those
release
of
funds,
and
then
we
can
see
what
types
of
projects
came
up
and
that
what
we've?
What
has
moved
forward
in
our
funding.
D
C
P
E
I
think
we're
also
going
to
know
pretty
quickly
who
responds
to
the
nofa
and
we're
also
going
to
be
very
quick
about
getting
out
our
acquisition
funding
and
the
thing
about
acquisition.
Funding
too.
Just
to
understand
is
it
it
moves
very
quickly,
just
by
the
nature
of
it,
it's
very
easy
to
buy
something
for
seven
million
dollars.
Do
you
know
what
I
mean
like
it?
E
Can
it
can
actually
just
be
a
couple
of
transactions
and
spend
money
pretty
quickly,
so
I
think
within
a
year
we're
going
to
be
able
to
tell
you,
okay,
it's
not
looking
good
or
we're
halfway.
There.
P
Okay,
okay,
yeah,
that's
really
helpful
and
then
the
final
thing
I
understand-
and
I
just
I
really
appreciate
you
guys-
spending
the
time
and
I
wasn't
paying
any
attention
to
the
timer.
I'm
sorry
to
my
colleagues
for
that.
P
You
talked
about
the
abag
report
and
the
deed,
restricted,
affordable
housing
and
the
percentage
of
people
eligible
for
affordable
housing
did
that
report,
and
you
can
just
point
me
to
it:
if
it,
if
it
did,
did
it
did,
it
include
what
is
naturally
occurring:
affordable
housing
or
rent,
restricted,
rent,
controlled,
affordable
housing.
D
C
Q
Q
Q
Much
of
my
district
is
category
one
part
of
it
is
category
two
and
I
have
currently
about
six
projects
that
are
affordable,
housing
projects
being
proposed
by
developers
where
they
have
site
control
or
close
to
site
control.
Q
As
a
developer
walk
me
through
how
this
siding
policy
will
benefit
those
developers
in
category
one
areas
as
far
as
funding
goes
and
then,
if
you
could
expand
upon
the
reduction
in
red
tape,
because
you
mentioned
that
you,
you
could
reduce
the
bureaucracy
and
the
red
tape.
I'd
wonder
if
you
could
expand
a
little
bit
on
what
that
means.
D
I'll
start
and
then
rachel
can
fill
in
anything
I
don't
cover.
So
the
first
part
is
we're
setting
aside
funds
for
category
one
neighborhoods,
so
the
majority
of
our
funding
would
be
set
aside
for
your
developers,
who
want
to
who
need
or
would
like
to
access
city
of
san
jose
funding
so,
instead
of
everybody
being
on
an
even
playing
field,
regardless
of
where
you're
located
the
category,
one
neighborhoods
have
more
money
set
aside
for
them.
D
In
addition,
we
would
be
creating
a
fund
for
them
to
access
money
for
land
acquisition
or
pre-development
funding,
and
sometimes
that
money
can
be
very
expensive
if
they
don't
have
access
to
it
themselves.
So
if
they
don't
have
their
own
fund
borrowing,
that
money
can
be
expensive
because
it's
risky,
if
you
don't
complete
the
project,
and
so
that
would
be
another
area.
And
when
I'm
talking
about
red
tape,
the
city
does
require
a
complete
process.
We
have
a
much.
D
We
can't
move
fast
because
we
have
to
have
you
know
internal
reviews,
legal
reviews,
and
then
we
have
to
go
into
city
council
to
have
an
approval.
So,
just
the
time
processing
is
not
something
that
we
can
move
fast.
If
the
funds
are
in
a
cdfi,
they
don't
have
to
write
up
a
report
to
a
city
council.
They
can
approve
the
loan
based
on
the
parameters
that
we
give
them.
Q
That
does
not
require
city
council
approval,
so
in
that
case,
how
under
sb
35
or
21
2162,
how
will
the
citing
policy
benefit?
Those
developers
who
are
or
will
it.
D
Q
Q
Q
So
the
deed
restriction
part-
I
don't
have
a
concern
about,
and
in
fact
I
assumed
you
would
say
that.
Are
you
saying
that
the
city
would
acquire
the
land
and
become
the
owner
of
the
property?
E
Sure
so
the
the
city's
underwriting
guidelines
specifically
say
that
the
city
will
purchase
the
land
and
then
we'll
provide
a
ground
lease
to
the
developer.
And
then
the
developer
has
a
ground
lease
to
operate
the
building
and
they
will,
you
know,
they'll,
be
responsible
for
the
improvements
on
the
land.
E
What
this
does
is
gives
us
a
a
real
seat
at
the
table
at
the
end
of
55
years,
which
we
know
will
happen
someday
and-
and
we
really
see
it
as
a
way
to
maintain
long-term
affordability
for
that
development,
so
that
the
city
owns
the
property
and
will
be
is
basically
part
of
the
deal
when
decisions
are
made
about
the
property
in
the
future.
Q
So
the
developer
would
not
have
an
ability
to
buy
out
the
city's
interest
in
the
property
or
it
would
occur
after
the
50
and
I'm
sorry.
This
is
kind
of
getting
in
the
weeds
a
little
bit,
but
it
helps
me
understand
why
a
developer
would
choose
these
nofa
funds
over
other
sources
of
funds
when
they
and
how
they're,
balancing
out
their
finances
and
developing
a
project.
Q
I
forgot
where
I
was
going
with
that.
How
how
is
there
an
opportunity
for
a
developer
to
buy
out
not
the
ground
lease
but
buy
the
property
from
the
city?
And
at
what
point
can
they
do
that.
E
Q
Q
No
yeah,
I
understand
that,
and
I
wasn't
sure
if
that
was
included
in
this
re
in
our
requirement
for
these
nova
funds
and
and
included
in
the
siding
policy
all
right.
Well,
I
I
appreciate
all
of
the
memos-
and
I
appreciate
the
emotion
that
has
been
made,
I'm
sensitive
to
the
concerns
of
council
member
perales
and
council
member
esparza
regarding
the
crime
rate
and
not
focusing
just
on
the
high
poverty
rate.
I
agree
that
we
need
to
build
affordable
housing
all
over
the
city
and
I'm
really
happy
to
see.
Q
Affordable
housing
projects
come
in
into
district
nine,
whether
it
be
through
nova
funds
or,
however,
they
build
it.
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
they
don't
come
without
a
lot
of
work,
though,
because
in
many
of
those
areas,
district
9,
10,
1
somewhat
for
other
district
2,
there's
a
lot
of
res
single-family
residential
property
and
when
you're
building
high
multi-story,
affordable
housing
units,
the
residents
need
the
neighboring,
the
neighboring
residents.
Q
Let
me
put
it
that
way
need
to
have
a
lot
of
community
outreach,
and
so
we
discuss
with
them
what
can
be
done
to
mitigate
the
high
walls
against
their
house.
So
those
are
the
issues
of
moving
high
density
into
the
suburbs,
let's
say,
but
it's
a
necessary
thing
that
needs
to
be
done
and,
and
we
work
tirelessly
at
district
9
to
try
to
make
sure
that
they
happen
and
we
have
several
coming
forward
as
I'm
really
proud
to
say.
Q
The
reason
I
think
we're
seeing
some
development
in
district
nine
is
because
it's
more
affordable,
real
estate
that
they're
able
to
pick
up
properties
not
at
deals,
but
they
can
get
real
estate
where
other
areas
that
might
be
more
expensive
for
them
to
move
into.
So
I
support
the
siding
policy.
I
support
this
as
we
going
forward.
Q
G
Thank
you
mayor.
I
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
our
staff,
jackie
and
rachel,
for
all
of
the
work
that
you're
doing
as
well
as
my
council
members
who
have
been
on
this
issue
and
keeping
track
of
it
and
and
council
member
perales
for
combining
all
of
our
memos.
G
I
I
really
appreciate
that
it.
It
just
speaks
to
how
aligned
we
are
in
terms
of
the
efforts
that
we
really
want
to
make
and
the
impact
that
we
want
to
make
in
this
city
it.
It
is
really
not
enough
to
to
say
that
we
are
supporting
equity,
that
we
are
equity,
centered,
to
sign
a
pledge
and
then
not
support
policies
that
undo
some
of
the
most
anti.
G
I
mean
some
of
the
most
racist
policies
that
have
been
have
created
generational
poverty,
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity-
and
I
want
to
congratulate
you
this-
I
you're
going
to
make
create
opportunity
and
history
for
our
kiddos
and
for
our
families,
and
you
know
we're
going
down
the
rabbit
hole
on
some
of
these
issues
because
it's
important,
but
I
I
don't
want
it
to
be
that
that
point
to
be
lost
because
jackie,
you
talked
about
your
experience
and
you
know
the
experiences
of
of
so
many
kids
who
might
have
not.
G
You
know
you,
you
had
some
really
great
opportunities,
and
last
night
I
went
to
this
fundraiser
for
evergreen
valley
college.
It's
a
stem
based
program
that
targets.
G
Children
who
are
living
in
in
impoverished
neighborhoods,
who
may
not
have
these
opportunities
so
they're,
taking
these
opportunities
to
these
children
stem-based
opportunities,
and
I
that's
their
way
of
creating
some
of
that
equity
and
undoing
some
of
those
policies,
and
this
is
our
way
this
and
for
all
of
us
here.
As
council
members,
we
are
focused
on
policy,
and
this
is
by
far.
G
I
think
one
of
the
the
most
significant
and
pivotal
policies
in
in
undoing
some
of
the
racial
segregation
and
creating
generational
poverty
from
police
from
past
policies,
and
this
is
really
being
anti-racist
right.
G
That's
the
solution
for
for
racism
and
for
systemic
racism,
and
the
research
shows
that
it's
not
enough
just
to
say,
you're,
not
racist.
G
You
have
to
actually
do
something
about
it
and
doing
something
about
is
creating
policy,
and
so
this
is
centered
at
the
generations
to
come,
because
I
know
this
will
take
time
to
do,
and
I
know
this
disbursement
will
then
give
lots
of
kiddos
around
the
city.
An
opportunity
like
like
yours
right.
I
certainly
didn't
have
that
opportunity.
G
I
grew
up,
unfortunately,
in
some
of
the
most
uninvested
school
districts
I
won't
mention
which
one
it
is
and-
and
I
think
about
some
of
those
kiddos
who
are
growing
up
in
the
same
situations
and
same
family.
G
Risk
factors
in
terms
of
you
know
not
having
enough
and
I
think,
about
how
far
they're
gonna
go,
because
they
you
created
and
that
we
all
took
part
of
this
policy
and
that
we
invested
in
those
opportunities-
and
I
think
about
what
I
was
thinking
about-
are
the
kiddos
and
the
faces
of
those
kids
in
last
night's,
fundraiser
and
and
the
opportunities
that
that
these
programs
offer
just
really
will
change
lives.
G
I
really
wish
that
when
I
was
walking
home
I
would
have
tree-lined
streets,
but
that
wasn't
the
case
and
there
was
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
folks
cars
that
would
stop
and
try
to
you
know
just
try
to
involve
you
in
in
in
crazy
stuff
that
a
student
shouldn't
be
exposed
to
and
involved
in
as
they're
walking
home
and
I'm
you
know.
G
Every
generation
wants
to
do
better
than
the
past
generation
and
I'm
really
absolutely
grateful
that
my
parents
were
able
to
give
me
the
the
opportunity
to
own
a
home
to
provide
a
different
experience
and
different
opportunities
for
my
child,
and
you
know
my
son
goes
to
a
really
great
school
in
our
neighborhood,
but
I
think
about
those
kiddos
who
are
not,
and
that's
not
the
standard
for
a
lot
of
children
of
color,
and
we
are.
G
We
are
the
exceptions
right
and
I'd
really
love
to
reverse
that,
and
so
you
know
I'm
wholeheartedly
supporting
this.
This
motion-
and
I
I
do
understand
that
that.
G
That
the
90
percent
and
and
95
percent
difference
doesn't
really
capture
some
of
these
neighborhoods
that
have
been
hot
spots
since
forever
anecdotally.
We
can
just
say
that
we
have
that
research
already
anyways
it.
So
I
completely
understand
where
councilmember,
esparza
and
councilmember
perales
were
coming
from
and
trying
to
capture
those
neighborhoods,
and
I
think
that's
really
important.
G
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
continued
to
move
forward,
because
this
this
policy
is
just
so
important
anyways.
I
I
didn't
want
to
lose
that
point
in
terms
of
what
we
are
creating
here
today
and
we're
not
creating
an
inconvenience
to
neighborhoods
that
have
a
lot
of
opportunities,
we're
providing
opportunities
for
the
future,
so
I'm
really
proud
of
of
of
this
policy
and
I'm
proud
to
to
serve
during
this
time.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember.
I'm
going
to
skip
you
councilman
cross
and
go
to
councilman
cullen.
O
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
thank
first
thank
everyone
for
their
thoughtful
input
on
this
important
policy.
I
think
it's
definitely
important
that
we
make
an
effort
to
cite
affordable
housing
across
the
city
and
across
places
in
locations
where
we
don't
have
enough
of
it
today.
I
I
do.
I
am
a
little
bit.
O
You
know
want
to
make
kind
of
raise
a
question
about
whether
we
think
I
think
councilmember
davis
was
kind
of
alluding
to
this
about
whether
we
have
places
we
think
there's
enough
places
in
these
category
one
areas
except
away
from
certain
places
where
we're
already
putting
affordable
housing.
I
mean
it
seems
to
me
that
they'll
be
concentrated
in
certain
places
in
category
one,
but
a
lot
of
category
one
areas
are
zoned
in
a
certain
way
that
it'll
be.
It
would
be
unlikely
that
we'd
get
be
able
to
site,
affordable
housing
developments.
O
E
E
So
I
believe,
they're
out
there
I
feel,
like
you
know
again,
we
have
one
developer.
Who
has
three
sites,
but
then
I've
I
mean
every
week
I
talk
to
another
one
who
has
found
another
one
and
found
another.
You
know
so
they're
there.
It's
just
it's
just
some
areas
where
they
may
not
have
been
looking
very
hard
before,
but
they
they
know
that
this
is
where
we're
going
with
the
policy
and
they're
out
there
searching.
So
I
think
it's
possible.
I
think
it.
E
You
know
it
may
take
a
little
bit
more
work,
but
I
think
it's
available
and
as
we
go
forward,
we're
going
to
learn
right,
we're
going
to
learn
and
we're
going
to
find
out.
If,
if
we
need
to
you
know
again
like
we
have
our
housing
element
process
coming
up,
that's
a
perfect
time
for
us
to
look
through
the
entire
city.
E
Look
at
it
with
this
lens
and
determine,
if
there's
opportunity
to
yeah
to
just
identify
different
areas
where
we'd
like
to
see
growth
and
and
and
work
through
the
normal
planning
processes
to
identify
those
areas.
O
And
I
don't
doubt
that
there's
a
lot
of
locations
in
in
category
one,
I
guess
I
was
just
pointing
out
that
there
were
some
people
commenting
about
starting
with
areas
where
there's
census
tracts
where
there's
zero,
affordable
housing
and
there's
gonna
remain
census,
tracts
where
there
are
zero
and
it's
and
it's
impossible
to
cite
it.
And
I
just.
B
D
E
O
And
then
I'll
just
make
one
other
one
other
comment,
and
it
just
just
say
to
nora
that
when
we
settle
with
santa
clara
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
affordable
housing
bar
for
this
d4
actually
move
to
the
left
and
and
grow
taller
than
d3
and
d7
and
be
the
biggest
affordable
housing.
And
I
I'll
be
very
happy
to
for
for
some
supportive
housing
to
be
part
of
that.
But
we
I
expect
that
bar
to
grow
significantly.
Once
we
get
that
lawsuit
settled
in
d4.
R
All
right,
council,
member
man
thanks
vice
mayor
and
I'll,
try
to
be
quick.
I
took
enough
of
jackie
and
rachel's
time
on
this
item
over
the
last
month.
As
we
had
a
few
conversations,
I
will
say
to
councilman
cohen's
last
comment.
You
know.
District
10
is
certainly
lagged
in
the
building
of
affordable
housing.
R
So
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
direction
and
intention
of
the
policy.
I
think,
along
the
lines
of
some
of
the
questions
councilor
davis
asked
I
had,
and
we
talked
about
this
offline
just
have
concerns
about
potential
trade-offs.
Are
we
going
to
be
giving
up
the
opportunity
to
build
the
units
we
need
because
of
policies
being
too
restrictive,
and
I
think
at
this
point
I'm
satisfied
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
staff
believes
that
that
trade-off
doesn't
exist.
I
think
that's
great
and
that
the
the
land
is
not
more
expensive
in
category
one.
R
Necessarily,
it's
not
necessarily
going
to
be
harder
to
find
it
and
build
it.
So
I'll
just
say,
I'm
glad
that
we're
going
to
be
coming
back
in
june
of
2022
is
my
understanding.
According
to
the
the
motion
on
the
on
the
floor
to
assess
whether
or
not
things
are
playing
out
as
we
expect,
I
think
I
think
my
biggest
concern
with
this
kind
of
policy
is
just
unintended
consequences.
I
think
the
intention
is
absolutely
in
the
right
place.
It's
just
a
question
of
what
do
we
not
know
when
we
get
into
implementation?
R
R
That
may
have
absolutely
nothing
to
do
with
the
impact
or
the
residents
who
actually
sleep
at
night
in
that
area,
and
so
mayor's
not
here
to
confirm
that.
But
I
guess
that
might
argue-
and
I
guess
I'd
also
be
interested
to
explore,
as
this
conversation
continues
to
evolve
from.
Was
it
1989
on
whether
or
not
poverty
and
income
actually
is
simply
the
best
proxy,
because
I
think
we
could
have
distortions
in
the
data
just
based
on
on
something
like
like
that
particular
nuance
about
that?
Given
neighborhood.
R
So
I
don't
know
if
it's
worth
re-asking
the
consultant
on
that.
But
I'll
ask
another
sort
of
question
about
downtown.
I
guess
my
fear
is
that
the
trend
line
toward
much
of
the
true
urban
core
of
san
jose
is
toward
a
tremendous
amount
of
investment
and
wealth
creation
and
we're
talking
about
bart,
coming
and
and
downtown
west,
and
I
just
I
worry
that,
potentially
in
10
or
15
years,
we're
going
to
look
back
and
say:
wow
downtown
is
the
most
vibrant
transit-rich.
R
You
know
resource-rich
neighborhood
in
the
entire
city,
and
now
it's
really
expensive
to
buy
land,
and
we
won't
have
a
hard
time
building
any
more
affordable
housing
here.
And
so
I
guess
is
that
I
I
guess
the
question
is:
is
that
a
concern
that
you
share
it
all
and
how
would
we,
I
guess,
as
we
check
in
we
can
make
adjustments,
but
it
just
seems
to
me
that
the
very
urban
core
of
downtown
feels
a
little
different
than
maybe
some
of
the
other
neighborhoods
in
d3
and
d7
that
we're
talking
about.
D
We
are
also
going
to
prioritize
in
category
three
neighborhoods,
where
we
see
things
like
potential
growth
redevelopment,
gentrification
displacement,
so
if
they
are
actually
going
into
a
neighborhood
that
we
can
see,
there's
an
obvious
reason:
lots
of
redevelopment
happening
here
this
great
potential,
but
it's
still
category
three
it
it
we're
going
to
direct
our
funding
there
versus
here's,
a
category
three
neighborhood
where
we
know
potentially
there's
no
redevelopment
going
in
there.
It
does
have
this
high
crime
high
poverty,
it's
a
struggling
neighborhood!
R
R
D
And
if
cat,
if
the
downtown
is
in
a
category
three,
we
would
also
then
give
negative
points
to
permanent
support
of
housing.
That's
coming
in
to
the
downtown,
because
we
know
we
already
have
some
there
and
and
so
that
you
know
that
would
be
the
additional
layer
of
work
that
the
staff's
gonna
have
to
do
in
evaluating
projects
so
for
projects
that
are
in
category
three.
There
will
be
competition
for
those
funds
and
there
will
be
some.
R
S
Thank
you
mayor,
and
I
I
want
to
start
off
by
just
thanking
staff.
This
is
a
complicated
issue
that
you
know
the
solutions
are
not
simplistic,
but,
as
we
did
deeper
even
gets,
I
think
more
more
complicated.
I
really
appreciate
also
the
comments
by
my
council
members,
as
well
as
the
memos
that
were
submitted.
I'm
going
to
ask
tony
if
she
could
repeat
the
motion
on
the
floor.
B
I
have
that
all
memos
are
moved,
including.
S
Yes-
and
this
includes
that
additional
time,
though,
before
solidifying,
our
policy.
I
It
would
it
would
yes,
yes
in
essence.
Yes,
yes
yeah,
I
would
take
it.
Staff
said
it
would
take
around
maybe
12
weeks
or
so
to
to
be
able
to
come
back
with
this
further
analysis,
but
we
would
be
allowed
to
move
forward
now
with
this
nofa,
with
the
current
policy
that
we
have
just
with
the
addition
for
the
category
three
to
include
the
hotspot
areas.
S
Sorry,
there's
a
lot
of
commotion
going
on
in
my
neighborhood
and
and
so
to
my
point
I
I
wanted.
I
wanted
to
to
speak
on
this
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
taking
more
time
to
really
look
at
the
data
and
the
info.
S
You
know
a
council
member
esparza
did
such
a
great
job
in
in
positioning
one
neighborhood
with
the
other
that
fall
under
the
same
categories,
and
this
has
been
the
the
concern
that
I've
had
from
the
very
beginning
when
I
saw
this,
but
you
know
I
I
live
in
in
in
of
course,
district
five
very
close
to
then
what
used
to
be
the
national
hispanic
university
and
and
I'm
sandwiched
in
between
city
and
county
lines,
I'm
right
on
the
corner
of
you
know.
S
If
I,
if
I
just
step,
you
know
20
feet
to
the
left,
I'm
in
county
and
if
I
stay
where
I
am
I'm
in
city,
I
mean
this
is
this:
is
the
the
block
that
I'm
on
and
I
and
I've
mentioned
before,
and
council
member
esparza
reminded
me
of
of
the
all
the
times
that
I've
I've
talked
about
getting
in
my
car
driving
all
the
way
to
the
other
side
of
town.
S
Just
so
that
I
can
take
a
quick
run,
and
but
I
I
also
want
to
remind
you,
since
I've
been
a
council
member,
there's
been
at
least
two
occasions
where
I've
had
to
ask
my
children
to
drop
to
the
ground
and
crawl
to
the
hallway
because
of
the
drive-by,
the
drive-bys
that
have
happened
just
down
the
street
and
where
we
heard
the
gunshot-
and
we
heard
the
tire
screech
away
from
from
the
block
that
I'm
on,
and
I
just
want
you
all
to
just
envision
what
that's
like
for
a
mother
to
have
to
tell
her
children.
S
S
They've
been
chased
in
the
middle
of
night,
well,
not
in
midnight
by
11
o'clock
at
night,
when
I've
asked
them
to
take
out
the
garbage
on
a
wednesday
evening,
because
we
failed
to
do
it
earlier
that
day,
they've
been
chased
down
the
driveway
into
the
house
by
individuals
who
are
really
in
need
of
mental
health
services,
and
if
you
recall
about
two
years
ago
right
before
covet
hit
getting
out
of
my
car
in
my
own
driveway
in
front
of
my
house,
I
was
chased
around
the
car
by
another
individual
who
who
could
not
reason
with
me
or
have
a
conversation
so
that
I
could
figure
out
what
was
going
on.
S
He
he
was
coming
after
me,
and
so
so.
This
is
the
neighborhood
that
I
live
in,
and
this
is
the
neighborhood
that
many
of
our
of
my
residents,
of
course
live
in,
have
experience
and
they're
raising
their
children.
I
want
to
you
know
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know.
Only
two
weeks
ago,
two
and
a
half
weeks
ago,
a
13
year
old
was
shot
to
death.
13
year
old,
a
13
year
old,
and
just
yesterday
a
16
year
old
was
shot
in
the
back.
S
He
survived
the
13
year
old
did
not
currently,
as
I'm
listening
to
the
council
and
trying
to
stay
engaged.
I
have
helicopters
outside
of
my
house
and
there
and
I
can
hear
them
speaking
from
the
helicopter
they're
they're
whizzing
around
looking
for
someone
who
is
hiding
in
someone's
house-
and
these
are.
S
These
are
the
conditions
that
my
children
are
being
raised
in
a
lot
of
families
are
raising
their
children
in
the
same
conditions
where
we
need
additional
resources
and
services,
but
where
you
know
that
incredibly
different
from
other
places
where
I've
gone
to
visit
other
family
members,
where
you
can
hear
a
pin
drop
and
their
children
can
walk
to
the
park
across
the
street.
S
Whereas
yesterday
I
was
telling
my
son
and
his
friend,
who
was
here
not
to
even
think
about
driving
around
the
neighborhood
and
not
to
even
think
about
opening
up
the
garage
to
to
lift
weights,
because
they
have
a
little
workout
area
here
in
my
house
that
that
was
absolutely
completely
forbidden,
because
this
district
is
hot
hot,
hot
right
now,
and
so
I
I
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there,
because
that's
those
are
my
experiences
right
now,
and
this
is
these-
are
the
experiences
of
my
children
and
their
friends
and
and
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
try
and
turn
this
around.
S
But
it's
going
to
take
it's
not
going
to
happen
overnight
and
so
the
idea
of
of
not
expanding
those
opportunities
or
distributing
housing
opportunities
for
families
where
they
can
live
in
a
quiet,
neighborhood,
a
neighborhood
where
it's
rich
in
resources.
S
It's
it's
it's
unfathomable
to
me,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
we're
looking
at
this-
and
I
appreciate
jackie
and
rachel
and
everyone
else
that
has
contributed
to
it.
But
I
do
think
that
we
need
additional
time
to
put
in
place
a
policy
that
truly
is
going
to
give
families
a
real
fighting
chance
in
the
bay
area
and
especially
here
in
san
jose,
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
council,
member
cohen
and
council
member
mayhem.
S
S
I
applaud
that,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
it's
easy
to
say
things
like
that
when
your
districts
are
very
rich
in
resources
and
you
haven't
been
impacted
yet
by
some
of
the
things
that
I'm
living
with
so
so
you
know,
I'm
gonna
hold
your
feet
to
the
to
the
fire
on
that
one,
because
I
think
it
would
be
fantastic
for
our
families
to
grow
up
in
the
almaden
valley.
S
You
know
blossom
hill,
I
think,
has
some
some
issues
as
well,
but
to
grow
up
in
the
almaden
valley
to
have
access
to
those
schools
and
and
to
grow
up
in
north
san
jose.
What
a?
S
What
a
fantastic
opportunity
can
you
imagine
having
those
opportunities
for
families
who
have
never
they've
been
shortchanged
for
a
number
of
reasons,
and
to
suddenly
be
able
to
open
their
front
doors
without
the
fear
of
someone
gunning
them
down
or
having
mistaken
identity,
as
has
happened
by
the
way
in
the
mayfair
area,
where
a
young
mama
with
two
little
girls
was
gunned
down
because
of
mistaken
identity.
Wrong
place
wrong
time.
S
That
just
happened
maybe
two
years
into
my
into
my
term
and
then
a
grandmother
who
was
in
her
kitchen,
making
fresh
tortillas
got
caught
up
in
between
two
gangs
who
were
fighting
it
out.
I
mean
these
are
the
things
like
I
said
that
we're
concerned
about
that.
We
worry
when
we
get
too
close
to
the
the
believe
it
or
not.
S
In
this
district,
as
I've
said
before,
it's
an
unbelievable
district,
but
it
is
a
district
that
we
have
faced
challenges
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
families
across
the
city
opportunities
to
thrive,
especially
their
children.
So
with
that,
I
will
support
the
motion
and
thank
you,
council
members,
for
adding
the
additional
time
to
truly
be
proud
of
the
housing
policies
that
we're
going
to
put
in
place.
That
will
last,
you
know,
probably
to
infinity
until
someone
else
decides
not
to.
But
thank
you
again.
I
I
I
True
so
and
right
now,
the
the
downtown
core
downtown
proper
is
smack
dab
in
the
middle
of
what
would
be
a
category
three
there
section
yeah.
I
am
completely
willing
to
include
within
the
motion
something
that
allows.
I
You
know
some
exemptions
for
the
our
our
downtown
zoning
and
and
not
necessarily,
you
know,
maybe
change
categories
or
somehow,
but
but
I
think
I
would
give
staff
to
time
over
this
next
12
weeks
as
well,
to
see
how
is
it
that
we
we
open
up
the
downtown
core
and
not
necessarily
treat
it
the
exact
same
as
every
other
category?
I
Three
so,
and
we
do
we
do
this
right,
I
mean
we
do
this
time
to
time
with
other
for
other
purposes,
because
we
recognize
the
downtown
core
is
different
and,
quite
frankly,
look
I
would
be
completely
for
you
know
other
affordable
housing
projects,
especially
some
high-rises
right
coming
into
the
downtown.
So
it
would
that
be
comfortable
with
staff.
C
I
If
you
think
it's
that
simple
as
well,
I
I
think
we
might
as
well
beings
that
we
have
a
little
bit
of
time
right.
I
think
we
can
put
some
thought
into
it.
I
would
be
comfortable
with
that
as
well.
The
idea
mayor
would
be
that
we
open
up
that
the
downtown
zoning
right
for
for
some
more
opportunities
right
so.
C
Thank
you
and
I
imagine
there
may
be
a
census
tractor
too.
That
still
would
stay
in
category
three,
but
I
I
would
just
I
don't
know
I
I
still
don't
know
why
negley
park
is
category
three.
Do
we
have
any
idea
how
that
happened.
C
No
negley
park
is
somehow
in
category
three.
I
know
this
is
you
know
getting
into
the
weeds,
but
I
think
we
all
kind
of
looked
at
this
map
and
we
could
all
kind
of
look
at
neighborhoods
and
say
how
did
they
get
in
there
and
and
egley
park
is
one
that
council
member
stars
appointed
to
which
is
just
south
of
santa
clara
street,
of
course-
and
I
know
if
you
went
on
the
other
side
of
280
you'd-
be
in
spartan
keys,
which
I
know
pretty
well
to
be
a
much
lower
resource
neighborhood
than
nigley
park.
C
D
Well
again,
because
we're
looking
at
these
bigger
areas
so
because
we're
looking
at
census
tracts
that
are
made
up
of
a
bunch
of
blocks,
then
I
can
imagine
because
of
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
of
nagaland
park
that
that's
what's
dragging
nagley
park
into
that.
C
Maybe
the
president
says
they
stayed,
I
don't
know,
maybe
they're
counting
students
in
the
income
calculation.
I
don't
know
it's
just
I
I'm
guessing.
If
we
all
thought
about
long
and
hard
we'd
probably
come
up
with
slightly
different
lines,
because
I
I
can
think
of
some
very
low-income
neighborhoods,
just
on
the
other
side
of
coyote
creek
that
are,
for
whatever
reason
not
indicated
so
anyway.
I
I
know
we
could
discuss
that
endlessly.
I
won't
take
up
any
more
time
with
that.
C
D
C
C
Appreciate
you
catching
that,
then,
at
the
very
start
of
the
presentation
you
said:
hey
we
looked
at
category
one
parcels
to
try
to
understand.
Is
this
gonna
drive
up
the
cost
of
building
affordable
housing?
I
appreciate
you
doing
making
that
inquiry
and
the
conclusion
was
there's
no
difference
in
cost,
but
undoubtedly
in
category
one
neighborhoods,
much
lower
density
and
in
terms
of
zoning
and
so
forth,
and
that
zoning
would
tend
to
be
reflected
in
the
land
value,
and
I
know
what
what
I'm
hoping
we're
going
to
build
with.
Affordable
housing
is
pretty
high
densities.
E
So
what
what
we
did
so
I
worked
with
our
developer.
That
has
three
sites
that
are
in
in
our
category
one
neighborhoods
and
the
way
that
we
even
the
way
that
we
have
found
an
average
cost
is
a
per
door
kind
of
concept.
Right,
so
I
mean,
obviously
you
can
price
per
acre,
but
a
lot
of
times
in
affordable
housing.
E
When
we're
talking
about
the
cost,
we
look
at
a
per
door
cost,
and
so
what
we
looked
at
was
their
average
per
door
and
when
we
reviewed
it
that
way,
it
was
actually
coming
out
a
little
bit
under
the
average
that
we've
had
us.
Historically,
just
in
our
even
in
our
most
recent
affordable
housing
cost
study.
Okay,
the
per
door
was
coming
out
lower.
C
Okay-
that's
that's
great,
so
that
does
account
for
the
death
stage,
and
I
guess
where
I'm
also
going
with
this
is:
if
we're
really
embracing
this,
that
means
as
a
council,
we
also
have
to
embrace
the
fact
that
densities
are
going
to
increase
considerably
an
awful
lot
of
neighborhoods
where
they're
not
used
to
seeing
density,
and
I
think
we
need
to
have
our
eyes
wide
open
about
this.
I
fully
support
it.
C
I
know
this
is
a
policy
we're
working
on
now
and
I
know
we're
working
we're
trying
very
collaboratively
to
work
with
our
school
districts,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
eyes
open
about
this
reality
and
because
I
think
that
if,
if
we
just
go
through
this
policy
exercise-
and
we
don't
follow
through
on
the
densities
and
some
of
the
other
implications
of
our
decisions-
we're
not
going
to
get
what
ultimately,
I
think
we
all
aspire
to
see
which
is
affordable
housing
built
in
a
way
that
is,
is
truly
equitable
and
provides
great
opportunity
for
all
of
our
families.
C
I
I
also
am
concerned
about
some
potential
unintended
consequences
here
around
what
it
might
do
in
some
neighborhoods,
where
we
say.
Essentially,
this
is
going
to
be
largely
market
rate
development
in
this
neighborhood,
at
least
with
regard
to
city
funding
and
assuming
county,
follows
our
lead
with
regard
to
displacement,
and
I
think
we
need
to
have
eyes
wide
open
about
the
risk
that
we're
going
to
see
primarily
market
rate
development
going
into
neighborhoods,
where
the
people
who
are
going
in
to
live
in
those
apartments
or
those
condos.
C
Don't
look
anything
like
the
neighborhood
that
surrounds
them
and
we,
I
think
we
need
to
appreciate
the
fact
there's
going
to
be
some
tension
between
our
desires
for
greater
integration,
our
desires
to
avoid
displacement,
and
this
is
not
going
to
be
easy,
so
I
I
I
I
support
going
forward,
but
I
do
it
with
fear
and
trembling,
because
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
hard
and
I'm
also
concerned
that
we
may
get
to
a
place
where
we're
finding
that
we
are
driving
up
the
cost
of
building
the
affordable
housing,
and
I
know
that's
that
undermines
our
efforts
just
to
get
more
housing
built.
C
So
I
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
that's
gone
into
this.
I
think
this
is
really
hard.
I'm
gonna
support
going
forward.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
what
we
can
next
year
when
we
get
an
update
and
hopefully
what
we're
gonna
learn
is
lots
of
builders
are
ready
to
go
and
we're
ready
to
fund
them.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
great
work.
Let's
vote.
C
B
C
C
I
believe
we're
on
item
8.3.
Is
that
correct?
C
E
C
That
is
the
approval
of
the
loan
commitment
to
first
community
housing
for
the
mcavoy
apartments,
and
I
wanted
to
thank
certainly
first
community
housing
and
jaff
and
their
team,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
our
partners
sv
at
home.
Leslie
corsillo,
I
believe,
is
stepping
down
this
week.
This
is
after
director
sv
at
home
for
her
partnership
on
measure
e.
This
is
20
million
dollars.
I
think
our
biggest
commitment
and
it's
great
to
see
it
moving
forward.
Jackie,
okay,.
E
I'm
getting
really
comfortable
here
in
my
seat
and
I'll
just
keep
going
on
this
one.
So
I'm
actually
joined
this
evening
by
bonuson
and
stefan
jackson
on
zoom,
so
they
are
available
for
questions
but
I'll
go
ahead
and
provide
you
with
the
presentation.
C
C
Okay,
then
we'll
call
8.4,
which
is
the
loan
commitment
to
algarve
apartments,
also
known
as
dahlia.
Thank
you.
E
Okay,
all
right,
so
this
is
kind
of
an
interesting
decision
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
just
following
our
citing
policy
conversation,
because
we
are
here
to
fund
and
make
a
funding
commitment
to
two
affordable
housing
developments.
E
As
a
part
of
these
two
developments-
oops
sorry,
I
didn't
realize
okay,
so
first
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
the
mcavoy
development.
So
this
development
is
located
on
mcavoy
street.
It
will
provide
222
apartments
for
vulnerable
residents,
including
unhoused,
individual
individuals
offering
a
mix
of
studios
and
one-bedroom
apartments
for
a
range
of
income
levels.
E
Mcavoy
apartments
is
the
first
phase
of
two
affordable
rent
rental
housing
developments
that
you
can
see
here
in
this
rendering
it's
located
on
a
1.13
acre,
infill
site.
That
is
immediately
adjacent
to
the
planned
google
san
jose
campus.
It's
just
a
few
blocks
south
of
the
deerdon
station
and
one
block
from
the
guadalupe
river
trail.
E
E
E
The
mcavoy
development
applied
for
city
funding
under
the
2021
notice
of
funding
availability
issued
in
july
this
year.
We
actually
just
recently
released
a
very
limited
nofa,
as
we
were
waiting
for
the
citing
policy
to
come
forward
and
this
location
or
this
project
moved
forward
because
it
was
I
it
was
actually
located
in
the
deodon
station
area,
which
was
an
area
we
identified
as
a
specific
place.
We
were
looking.
We
want
to
fund
affordable
housing.
E
We
are
requesting
a
total
loan
commitment
of
20
million
dollars
to
this
development,
which
meets
our
125
000
unit
per
or
1
000
unit
limit
per
unit
threshold.
E
Approval
of
this
commitment
will
allow
the
developer
to
move
forward
with
an
application
to
sydlak
on
september
9th.
So
the
timing
of
your
commitment
this
evening
is
very
important
for
them
to
be
able
to
successfully
apply
in
the
next
round
coming
up
very
quickly
in
september,.
E
And
next
I
would
also
like
to
describe
to
you
the
algarve
apartment's
development
that
we're
bringing
forward
this
evening
as
well.
The
algarve
apartments
will
be
a
co-developer
partnership
between
reed
community
partners
and
allied
housing.
This
will
be
reed
community
partners,
first
development
in
our
city.
E
This
development
contributes
to
the
much
needed,
affordable,
housing
and
designed
and
is
consistent
with
the
roosevelt
park.
Urban
urban
village
plan,
the
street
level
exterior
of
the
project
will
feature
a
large
mural
which
will
pay
tribute
to
the
deep
portuguese
and
mexican
heritage
of
this
neighborhood.
E
The
algarve
apartments
development
applied
for
city
funding
under
the
notice
of
funding
availability
issued
in
2018.,
so
this
was
this
is
one
that
was
actually
applied
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
now
is
ready
to
move
forward
with
funding
at
this
point
in
time.
E
I'd
like
to
thank
bonuson
and
stephen
jackson
from
the
housing
department
team
who
have
worked
very
hard
to
prepare
all
of
these,
get
these
projects
ready
for
their
sidlock
application
and
for
your
decision
tonight.
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
sophie
rubin
from
first
community
housing,
scott
reed
from
reed
from
reed
community
and
john
white
from
allied
housing.
P
C
Okay,
there's
motion
to
approve
on
both
projects:
let's
go
to
the
public.
L
L
L
They
build
their
buildings,
lead
platinum,
the
highest
level
of
environmental
sustainability,
so
even
affordable
housing
developers
can
add
in
things
to
make
sustainability
transportation
and
benefits
doable.
So
when
we
come
to
you
and
talk
to
you
about
projects
or
developers,
come
to
you
and
say:
oh
no,
that's
too
expensive!
We
can't
do
that.
Please
keep
in
mind
that
there
are
developers
like
first
community
housing
that
do
this
as
their
business
as
their
practice.
L
I
personally
live
right
near
the
mcavoy
project
and
will
be
so
excited
to
see
13
stories
of
affordable
housing
right
in
midtown
near
giron
station,
and
on
top
of
that
they
are
building
using
mass
timber,
and
so,
when
you
hear
from
developers
now
know
that
they
can
build
taller
buildings
using
potentially
more
environmentally
friendly
and
cheaper
and
quicker
construction
material
in
the
form
of
mass
timber
and
the
state
has
increased
the
amount
of
mass
timber
come
july
1st
this
year
from
a
six
story,
maximum
up
to
18
stories.
Now.
L
Can
you
believe
that
18
stories
we
can
build
mass
timber
buildings
in
san
jose
and
throughout
california,
now
so
kudos
to
first
community
housing
for
leading
the
way
on
mass
timber
and
let's
keep
up
those
kinds
of
construction
materials
that
make
development
quicker
and
easier
and
better,
which
fits
all
the
goals
that
I
know
you,
council
members
care
very
deeply
about.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Well,
I
learned
a
lot
on
that
last
item.
I've
been
talking
all
these
months
about
mixed
income
sites,
affordable
housing,
site
policies.
I
guess
is
how
what
you're
calling
income?
I
have
to
learn
how
to
shift
my
language
a
bit.
I
was
already
doing
that.
I
was
taught
already
trying
to
offer
my
ideas
really
softly,
as
if
you
guys
already
knew
these
things,
and
I
just
was
able
to
remind
yourselves
of
these
things.
A
But
you
know
I
really
question
the
validity
of
formulas
that
you're,
using
as
as
maya
esparza
has
said.
You
know,
a
lot
of
people
are
asking
questions.
It's
imperative
that
city
government
just
learns
to
explain
things
well
and
and
talks
in
real
academic
terms
and
honest
terms
about
these
the
future
of
these
projects
and
does
not
play
pussyfooting
games
or
elitist
games.
A
A
I
maybe
it
is
for
with
this
one
project,
but
you
got
to
have
extremely
low
income
housing
things
in
the
global
area,
and
you
know
the
formulas
of
mixed
income
are
so
simple
and
understandable
and
beautiful
that
you
really
need
their
help
to
help
describe
the
future
of
these
affordable
housing
ideas,
citing
ideas,
unless
these
assignment
ideas
are
specifically
meant
to
subvert
the
mixed
income
process,
which
I'm
really
questioning
at
this
time.
A
I
don't
want
to,
but
I
hope
you're
not
doing
it
for
those
reasons
that
I
know
you
can
be
because
these
are
the
ideas
of
equity
and
reimagine,
we're
talking
about
you're
practicing
them
to
a
degree.
I
hope
you're
not
messing
this
up
and
man.
Let's
get
this
good
and
let's
do
this
well
people.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you
tessa
woodman
c.
Well,
the
mcavoy
project
is
in
my
neighborhood
too,
and
it's
borders
on
park
avenue
as
well,
and
there
is
a
problem
right
there
in
terms
of
the
access
of
not
being
able
to
cross
park
avenue
properly
that
I
I
don't
know
if
they
put
it
in
I've.
I've
complained
about
this
at
different
meetings,
but
they
really
need
a
a
crosswalk
there
and
I
don't
think
it
really
got
done.
J
I
imagine
it
didn't
because
it
it
wouldn't
surprise
me
that
they
didn't
do
it
because
you
know
we're
not
really
creating
walkable
and
bikeable
neighborhoods.
You
know
we
say
we
are
but
we're
not,
and
then
you
know
I
saw
the
same
thing
that
happened
at
the
development
on
stockton
and
julian.
You
know
they,
you
know
there,
it
is
and
they
they
were
supposed
to
really
fix
that
corner
on
on
stockton
and
julian,
and
not
it
wouldn't
be
a
pork
chop
anymore.
J
It's
still
that
way
and
it's
still
dangerous
and
then,
of
course
julian,
is
very
dangerous.
No
bike
lane
no
ada
approval,
and
so,
when
we're
building
these
projects,
we
really
don't
demand
enough
of
our
of
our
developers
and,
and
you
know,
even
to
say
that
they
support
public
transit.
Well,
our
public
transit
is
so
bad
and
people
don't
even
want
to
take
it
because
it
doesn't
feel
safe
to
be
in
our
transit.
So
you
know,
and
then
the
bicycle
infrastructure
is
not
there.
You
know,
like
I've,
been
saying
before
that.
J
Even
you
know,
san
carlos
is
really
bad
in
regards
to
bicycling
and
that
we'll
do
it
in
little
sections
like
like,
as
if
we
you
know,
have
a
bicycle
for
one
block
right
in
front
of
our
development
and
then
the
rest
of
the
block.
Isn't
that
isn't
that
way?
And
so
the
whole
the
whole
street
needs
to
be
part
of
their
their
responsibility
versus
just
the
you
know,
little
thing
they
say
in
front
of
them
and
so
that
that's
one
issue
so.
K
I've
become
reluctant
to
even
talk,
because
I
know
you
guys
are
going
to
vote
for
it
anyways,
but
I
heard
many
people
refer
to
these
buildings
as
projects
and
concentrating
projects.
Concentrating
poverty
into
a
high
density
building
is
reverting
back
to
the
failed
project
style
housing
that
we
abandoned.
We
need
to
learn
from
the
past.
Thank
you.
H
Oh,
I
thought
you'd
never
call
on
me.
Well,
just
give
a
shout
out
to
paul
soto.
Man
keep
up
the
good
work,
don't
quit,
but
once
again
I
mean
you
want
to
start
cramming
people
into
an
area.
The
guy
said
it
best
in
the
last
call
projects
you
know
and
how
many
people
are
you
gonna
cram
into
one
area?
Do
you
have
there's
not
enough
police
or
fire
carrasco?
For
god's
sakes,
carrasco
city,
council
member?
H
She
can't
get
enough
police
action
in
her
area
with
the
psychos
and
the
gang
bangers
and
everything
if
she,
if
she's
having
a
hard
time
living
here,
you're
going
to
cram
more
people
in
what
are
you
people
thinking
I
mean
we
got
the
same
thing
in
detroit
district
9.
That's
what
I
like
to
call
pam
foley's
detroit
district
9..
They
got
bums
sleeping
in
people's
cars.
They
can't
go
to
work
in
the
morning.
We
got.
We
got
these
scales
walking
around
stealing
packages
off
of
off
of
porches,
but
you
want
more
people.
H
Is
there
enough
electricity
there's
no
natural
gas
anymore,
because
that's
illegal
yeah?
We
don't
want
any
natural
gas,
because
it's
bad
give
me
a
break
everybody.
Everyone
at
city
council
goes
and
eats
chinese
food.
Well,
how
do
you
think
they
cook
that
food
so
quickly
with
a
with
a
gas
stove
and
a
walk
god
bless
them
anyway?
H
Now
is
on
the
police?
Not
enough
police
people,
not
enough
fire
department
coverage,
not
enough
ambulance,
not
enough
electricity,
not
enough
gas,
not
enough
water,
not
enough
property,
not
enough
parking
spaces,
even
though
you
guys
like
to
get
your
tape
measure
out
and
measure
how
much
you
know
you
can
cram
cars
into
one
neighborhood,
not
not
enough
places
to
put
your
garbage
cans
up.
What
are
you
people
thinking
once
again,
it's
a
bunch
of
sophomores
in
college
that
work
at
their
father's
real
estate
company.
That's
what
that's!
What
the
city
council
is!
H
Hello
good
evening,
my
name
is
brian
prescott,
I'm
a
member
of
south
bay
envy.
I
will
respectfully
ask
you
to
vote
yes
on
this
project.
I
think
it's
an
easy
win
if,
for
no
other
reason,
it's
a
big
tall
housing
project
right
next
to
a
train
station
that
makes
it
really
easy
for
people
who
live
there
to
take
transit
to
work,
you're
also
close
to
downtown
there's
a
lot
of
jobs
there
and
there's
a
lot
of
bus
signs
there.
It's
an
easy
win.
I
think
the
mass
timber
thing
is
actually
really
cool.
H
M
M
M
I
think
it's
it's
a
move
in
the
right
direction.
That
blair
has
been
encouraging
for
about
a
year
and
a
half
in
terms
of
mixed
income
project,
so
I
think
it's
aligned
with
that,
but
within
the
overall
topic
of
housing.
M
C
Thank
you
returning
to
council.
Is
there
any
other
comment
or
question?
E
C
I
B
C
Like
to
point
out,
we
just
unanimously
approved
the
construction
315
homes.
136
are
permanent,
supportive
housing
almost
without
any
discussion
or
questions.
That's
not
bad.
All
right!
We're
on
to
open
forum.
K
Good
evening,
robin
romer,
here
from
the
ultra
community
to
talk
about
shortcut
to
shortcut
extension
and-
and
I
get
it-
you
probably
don't-
want
to
hear
about
chocolate
right
now,
even
less
than
I
want
to
talk
about
it.
But
unfortunately,
to
stop
talking
about
shortcut.
Isn't
my
call
it's
yours
and,
as
you
know,
we
as
the
community
have
made
several
attempts
to
take
shortcut
off
the
city's
to-do
list,
get
the
city
council
staff
yoon's
test
on
keeping
charcoal
on
your
to-do
list
and
therefore
hours
making
late
night.
K
Public
comments
like
this
one
necessary
based
on
public
records
staff
has
spent
over
a
million
dollars
on
trucker
already,
and
that
is
just
on
external
consultants,
not
even
including
their
own
staff
time.
Let
that
sink
in
city
staff
spend
a
million
dollars
mostly
to
argue
with
and
fight
their
own
citizens.
K
We,
the
community,
have
been
very
restrained.
We
did
not
spend
a
million
dollars
in
the
last
two
years,
not
even
close
and
over
the
last
10
months.
We've
acted
with
even
more
restraint
than
before
trying
to
solve
this
amicably,
but
the
longer
the
strikes
are
on
the
less
viable.
It
unfortunately
becomes
for
us
to
remain
this
restrained
if
we
don't
settle
our
ongoing
lawsuit
soon,
we
need
to
mobilize
the
community
more
more
broadly
and
more
publicly
than
we
are
doing
right
now.
That
is,
unfortunately,
just
the
way
it
is
now.
K
To
close,
I
want
to
emphasize
that
if
it
happens
to
be
the
intent
of
this
council
to
cross
shortcut
off
your
to-do
list,
it
would
be
very
helpful
if
you
could
find
a
timely
way
to
make
that
decision
and
to
communicate
that
to
us
before
we
restart
any
further
public
outreach.
There's
just
a
temporary
for
that.
Thank
you.
B
N
Good
evening,
mayor
council,
thank
you
thank
you
for
your
service,
so
I
I'd
like
to
very
briefly
follow
up
with
a
comment
that
staff
made
at
the
conclusion
of
a
tme
yesterday
afternoon
that
somehow
they
would
be
coming
back
to
council
with
an
mou
with
the
high-speed
rail
authority
sometime
in
october.
N
Presumably,
I
guess
to
help
us
with
a
great
separation
on
monterey
highway.
My
question
to
council
is
why
anyone
would
consider
trusting
these
kinds
of
projects
to
people
who
believe
it
or
not,
mistakenly
specified
a
30-foot
clearance
for
regular
traffic
30
foot.
This
was
trains,
it's
not
for
vehicles
or
trucks.
N
These
are
the
same
people
who,
as
you
may
recall,
studied
an
alignment
between
san
jose
and
merced,
which,
to
be
honest
with
you,
if
you
know
where
mercedes
and
where
l.a
is,
is
geographically
challenging,
but
the
reason
they
did.
That
is
because
their
vision
was
to
link
san
francisco
to
sacramento
via
gilroy
and
merced,
and
I'm
gonna
leave
that
to
you
and
and
by
the
way.
This
is
how
we
ended
up
with
the
patrick
or
pass
and
a
12
billion
dollar
channel.
N
But
in
closing
my
advice
this
evening
to
them
to
counsel
is
to
be
patient
and
wait
for
the
outcome
of
the
ongoing
caltrain
governing
discussions
and
then
look
for
potential
partnerships
which
are
more
likely
to
serve
san
jose's.
Long-Term
transportation
needs,
including
high-speed
rail
between
geroy
and
san
francisco
via
the
san
jose
airport.
Thank
you
and
good
night.
M
M
I
confronted
somebody
that
I
had
suspected
was
at
least
had
knowledge
of
that
threat
and
that
threat
was
made
in
regard
to.
I
was
told
that
I
was
too
confident.
I
was
told
that
they
didn't
know.
If
I
was
an
ad.
G
A
Hi
thanks
for
the
words
of
paul
soto
tonight,
thanks
for
the
meeting
you
know,
I'm
sorry
if
I've
come
on
too
strong.
Obviously
I
have
things
to
learn
about
what
you'll
be
talking
about
the
future
of
mixed
income
ideas,
as
I
worry
about
the
ideas
of
these
affordable
housing
projects
as
the
ideas
of
the
republic,
as
opposed
to
you,
know,
good
academic
ideas.
A
I
hope
you
can
use
good
academic
ideas
in
your
projects.
You
can
be
free
and
comfortable
to
do
that,
so
I
don't
want
to
be
hostile.
Good
luck.
How
we
can
do
this.
We
can
all
learn
a
lot
at
this
time.
It's
important!
This
is
what
we
need
to
be
learning
this
time
in
our
lives
and
what
this
follows
about:
the
practices
of
good,
open
democracy,
we're
offering
our
good
ideas
this
time.
A
Hopefully
we're
getting
out
of
a
really
secretive,
war-like
june
because
of
you
know,
really
difficult
issues
of
may,
and
it's
just
nice
that
we're
talking
and
that's
so
important
towards
our
openness
and
good
that
I
think
we
can
really
do
this
fall.
So,
thank
you
and
all
these
efforts
I've
been
offering-
and
you
guys
have
as
well-
and
it's
really
nice
to
be
connecting
in
that
way
to
offer
a
few
words
from
public
comment
from
previous
public
comments.
A
To
finish,
my
public
comment
about
the
google
issue
for
as
much
as
you
know,
it
can
make
good
connections
from
the
east
side
to
the
google
future
of
google's
village
in
the
future.
You
know
we,
these
are
questions
of
a
national
security
state
and
the
future
of
our
national
security
state.
We
have
to
offer
responsible
practices
for
this
project
and
that's
open
public
policy
ideas.
That's
good
democracy
that
isn't
secrecy
that
isn't
more
war.
A
Good
luck
on
how
we
work
on
these
issues
thanks
a
lot
to
paul
soto,
and
I
hope
he
can
make
it
back
here
and
good
luck
to
ourselves.
This
fall.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you
I'm
supposed
to
get
two
minutes.
I
don't
know
it's
not.
You
want
to
reset
the
clock.
Okay,
good!
Thank
you.
So
I
guess
you
know:
we've
been
fighting
in
our
neighborhood
not
to
have
a
hotel
and
we
we
successfully
stopped
the
victorian
in
our
neighborhood
becoming
part
of
a
hotel.
We
did
that,
but
you
know
the
plan,
which
was
that
destroyed
our
neighborhood
and
has
created
such
stresses
in
our
community.
J
Is
that
you
know
you
went
ahead
and
changed
the
general
plan
without
notifying
us,
and
so
this
is
where
the
root
of
the
whole
issue
of
opportunity.
Housing
is
that
people
are
up
in
arms
over
not
understanding
what's
going
on
in
our
general
plan
and
so
anyway.
So
what
happened
is
that
you
know
we
didn't.
We've
been
fighting
the
hotel
and
the
developer.
You
know
proposed
housing
and
then
that
didn't
go
through
either
because
it's
too
close
to
polluting
neighborhood,
and
we
never.
J
You
know,
really
dealt
with
that
general
plan
change
that
wasn't
really
notified
to
us
that
we
would
get
more
commercial
development
in
our
neighborhood
when
we're
already
a
community
at
risk.
We're
a
community
at
risk.
We
have
a
high
pollution
level
from
the
diesel
emissions,
we're
across
from
a
bus
depot
we're
by
the
caltrain
diesel.
You
know
we're
by
the
highways,
the
you
know:
the
trucks
of
the
central
cement.
J
So
I
you
know
at
some
level
I
was
happy
that
we
weren't
getting
the
housing,
because
there
was
a
lot
of
going
to
be
a
lot
of
automobile
parking
that
was
in
there
so
now
we're
looking
at.
We
need
to
really
do
a
zero
fossil
fuel
development,
and
what
that
includes
is
that
it
really
changing
our
urban
land
use
to
protect
human
health
as
reparations
for
the
destruction
that
you've
done
to
our
neighborhood
and
and
and
well-being.
J
L
So
I
I
feel
for
paul
soda,
it
seems
like
he
keeps
getting
cut
off.
I
don't
know
what's
going
on
there,
but
you
know
paul
if
you're
still
listening,
please
hang
in
there.
L
We
need
your
voice
in
the
city,
so
I'm
gonna
talk
again
about
the
the
idea
that
we
need
to
have
representation
for
people
that
are
unhoused
there's
easily
over
five
thousand,
that
we
have
recognized
through
the
point
time
count:
people
that
are
living
outdoors,
living
outside
of
shelters
and
there's
a
lot
more
people
that
we
would
consider
to
be
unhoused
simply
because
they're
living
in
areas
that
were
not
designed
for
human
habitation
or
they're
living
several
families.
L
At
one
location,
we've
experienced
that
and
I'm
sure
mayor,
you
recall
during
the
last
flood
the
number
of
people
that
were
that
lost
their
housing
and
they
had
no
way
of
getting
any
kind
of
relief
because
they
were
not
on
the
lease,
because
there
were
families
that
were
doubling
and
tripling
up
and
I'm
sure
that
the
people
that
are
representing
d7
and
eight
d-
let's
see
what
is
that
anyway,
the
the
districts
on
the
east
side.
L
That's
about
to
end
and
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
very
angry
people
that
are
living
in
the
streets
that
are
not
going
to
be
very
appreciative
about
not
having
representation
when
that
happens,
and
right
now,
they're
they're
housed-
and
they
probably
don't
think
about
it,
but
the
time
will
come
and
they
will
be
out
in
the
streets
and
and
they
will
there
will
be
organizing
going
on.
I
guarantee
you
and
we
will
bring
this
back,
so
please
please
jump
on
this.
Thank
you.
H
About
this
zoom,
you
know,
I
got
good
phones,
good
computers,
what
this
zoom
is
terrible,
but
anyway,
I'm
just
focusing
on
the
city
council.
H
I
don't
appreciate
the
lecture
you
guys
gave
us
last
week
with
those
anti-vaxxers,
those
vacs
gnostics,
as
I
call
them
disrupted
your
meeting.
I
mean
they're
just
disruptors.
H
H
H
How
the
hell
did
it
take
an
hour
for
you
guys
to
go
in
your
office
and
cry
your
eyes
out,
because
some
people
didn't
agree
with
your
with
your
mandatory
paper.
You
gotta
show
your
papers
when
you
go
into
a
city-owned
building
papers,
please
what
does
that
sound
like?
Then?
You
guys
had
the
nerve
to
try
to
twist
it
around.
It
was
white
supremacy
and
racism,
and
all
this
don't
make
me
puke.
Everybody
had
a
great
accent
whether
it
was
from
asia
or
south
of
the
border
or
eastern
europe.
H
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
for
the
support,
robert
and
and
the
others.
Sometimes
I
I
I
don't.
I
don't
get
any
money,
I
don't
get
any
support.
M
I'm
poor
and
I
live
very
humble
means,
and
I
do
what
I
do
only
because
I
feel
an
obligation
to
my
ancestors
that
when
I
speak
it
is
times
that
I
hope
that
it
is
their
voice
that
you
hear,
but
sometimes
my
anger
and
frustration
in
my
actual
fear,
my
fear
of
the
policies
that
you're
centering
and
the
5
10
15
year
impact
it
will
have
on
my
people.
