She says the ban will incentivize people who live in RVs to use the city-funded parking program, which is the largest of its kind in Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know that folks who … opposed Measure C, said we didn’t have a plan to help the homeless.

That state law goes into effect in January. Are you confident the city will have a plan in place to deal with those folks by then and also residential treatment beds available at that time?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: I am more than confident, and I’m excited about what we are planning in order to address this major challenge. This is a huge victory for our city, and right now we’re developing the legislation to send to the Board of Supervisors to opt into this particular program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other part of that is we’ve identified locations to increase the number of mental health stabilization beds in S.F. to meet what we expect to be the need so that they have places to go. We can’t “conserve” anyone unless we have a place for them to go. And that’s what this is about. Because people are frustrated when they see someone who clearly needs help, who is clearly having, unfortunately, a mental breakdown, and jail is not the place for them to be when they need to get better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s really about getting them into the right place, into a treatment facility for the purposes of developing a long-term plan of action to help them get stable, to help them get housed, to help them get the services they need in order to be in a better situation than what we see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: Voters in November are going to vote on Proposition C in the city to bring in more revenue for homeless services. You oppose that measure. If that’s not the answer, do you and your administration have an alternate plan to bring in new revenues to address this crisis?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: I think what's important with what we do with the over $300 million that we are spending for homeless services, including an additional $60 million that I have been able to add to the budget this past fiscal year, is that there is a level of accountability. We use a lot of the money to pay for subsidies to house people. There’s a lot of the money, of course, that’s used for supportive services. And right now we have just started this process I’m really excited about where we have a coordinated entry system for people who are struggling with homelessness in order to get them the help and support they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal to use this system is to follow people, to understand what the challenges are, and to make sure that we’re able to track the resources that are being used and how we’re able to help someone. From my perspective, we need to understand what we’re doing now, whether or not we’re making the right investments and, more importantly, what is our long-term plan of action to address these issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a problem bigger than just San Francisco. We have to look at regional strategies, we have to look at what we are doing now and the investments we’re making now, redirecting those funds. Can big business pay more to support this? Yes, they can. But things like a ballot measure need to be handled more responsibly, where you’re bringing everyone to the table for the purposes of providing input and looking at the financial data, looking at jobs, looking at all of those things and how they play a role in making sure that as we try and tax, that there aren’t the unintended consequences of job loss for middle-income residents. I mean, manufacturing, retail, those are things that are important to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And people keep talking about this gap between the haves and the haves-not. Well, yeah, the haves on the whole top level can definitely afford to pay a lot more. But I want to make sure as mayor, because I have to be the one to implement anything that is taxed or the voters initiate, I want to make sure that I can promise that this will deliver the results they’re looking for. And at this time, that's where we're struggling with the challenges of Prop C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: That goes right into my next question. Is it a concern of yours that ultimately you’re going to have to be the one accountable for the spending as it relates to the homeless crisis?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: Yeah, and I think that people elected me in order to address this problem. This is at the top of everyone’s list because it is a problem in San Francisco. But I think in order to address it, we have to understand it better. We have to understand where our resources are already going, and we have to make better investments now. So that’s what I’m trying to do as mayor. Before I ask for another commitment, I want to make sure that as I’m being held accountable, it’s for the decisions I make, not the decisions that other people are making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: You talk about getting a greater understanding of the current homeless population and how they're being served in the city. Do you think the city and homeless advocates should hold off on any new funding before the city gets a greater account of that?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: Any increase in taxes ought to be a collaborative effort. There ought to be real options for the purposes of making sure that when we ask the voters for this money, that we’re able to deliver what we say we’re going to deliver as a result of this money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: I want to ask about safe injection sites. This was another bill at the state level that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11695653/brown-rejects-supervised-injection-site-for-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vetoed by the governor\u003c/a> that would have allowed pilot program for supervised injection sites here in the city. You said you’re not giving up on it. What does that mean?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: We’re looking at ways in which we could potentially open a site or sites here in our city. In addition to the challenges with state law, there are challenges with federal law as well. We are hopeful that Gavin Newsom, if he becomes governor, will be more supportive of our efforts, because this is just not about providing a convenient place for people to shoot-up and use drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People unfortunately suffer from drug addiction, and it’s not just going to go away because we don’t want to see it. So what are ways in which we can try to help people into treatment? This is one of the most effective ways to do that. And this is why I’m pushing for it, because when that person is coming to a safe injection site on a regular basis, we’re able to collect and discard the needles safely, we’re able to keep it in contained environment so it’s not happening out on the streets, and you don’t see the needles out there as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could not only save lives, it could save money. It could save about $2.3 million in the hospital visits, the needle cleanup, all these things we’re dealing with around public health. This is just an innovative way to address what we know is a very challenging, complex problem. The opioid crisis sadly has impacted not just San Francisco, but it exists all over the United States. We have to do something different if we want to see something different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: You talked during the campaign about a “historic culture of no” in San Francisco around the development of housing. Can you talk about your administration’s efforts around streamlining and getting housing built faster that has already been identified as affordable housing?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: One of the first things I did was to get all of the departments responsible for approvals as it relates to housing production and infrastructure together, and we meet on a regular basis to talk about solutions. And one of the easiest solutions that was proposed was to cut back on the bureaucratic red tape for ADUs — accessory dwelling units, aka in-laws. We came together, and I put out the directive to say that I want existing permits that are in the pipeline to be completed in the next six months.

That state law goes into effect in January. Are you confident the city will have a plan in place to deal with those folks by then and also residential treatment beds available at that time?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: I am more than confident, and I’m excited about what we are planning in order to address this major challenge. This is a huge victory for our city, and right now we’re developing the legislation to send to the Board of Supervisors to opt into this particular program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other part of that is we’ve identified locations to increase the number of mental health stabilization beds in S.F. to meet what we expect to be the need so that they have places to go. We can’t “conserve” anyone unless we have a place for them to go. And that’s what this is about. Because people are frustrated when they see someone who clearly needs help, who is clearly having, unfortunately, a mental breakdown, and jail is not the place for them to be when they need to get better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s really about getting them into the right place, into a treatment facility for the purposes of developing a long-term plan of action to help them get stable, to help them get housed, to help them get the services they need in order to be in a better situation than what we see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: Voters in November are going to vote on Proposition C in the city to bring in more revenue for homeless services. You oppose that measure. If that’s not the answer, do you and your administration have an alternate plan to bring in new revenues to address this crisis?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: I think what's important with what we do with the over $300 million that we are spending for homeless services, including an additional $60 million that I have been able to add to the budget this past fiscal year, is that there is a level of accountability. We use a lot of the money to pay for subsidies to house people. There’s a lot of the money, of course, that’s used for supportive services. And right now we have just started this process I’m really excited about where we have a coordinated entry system for people who are struggling with homelessness in order to get them the help and support they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal to use this system is to follow people, to understand what the challenges are, and to make sure that we’re able to track the resources that are being used and how we’re able to help someone. From my perspective, we need to understand what we’re doing now, whether or not we’re making the right investments and, more importantly, what is our long-term plan of action to address these issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a problem bigger than just San Francisco. We have to look at regional strategies, we have to look at what we are doing now and the investments we’re making now, redirecting those funds. Can big business pay more to support this? Yes, they can. But things like a ballot measure need to be handled more responsibly, where you’re bringing everyone to the table for the purposes of providing input and looking at the financial data, looking at jobs, looking at all of those things and how they play a role in making sure that as we try and tax, that there aren’t the unintended consequences of job loss for middle-income residents. I mean, manufacturing, retail, those are things that are important to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And people keep talking about this gap between the haves and the haves-not. Well, yeah, the haves on the whole top level can definitely afford to pay a lot more. But I want to make sure as mayor, because I have to be the one to implement anything that is taxed or the voters initiate, I want to make sure that I can promise that this will deliver the results they’re looking for. And at this time, that's where we're struggling with the challenges of Prop C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: That goes right into my next question. Is it a concern of yours that ultimately you’re going to have to be the one accountable for the spending as it relates to the homeless crisis?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: Yeah, and I think that people elected me in order to address this problem. This is at the top of everyone’s list because it is a problem in San Francisco. But I think in order to address it, we have to understand it better. We have to understand where our resources are already going, and we have to make better investments now. So that’s what I’m trying to do as mayor. Before I ask for another commitment, I want to make sure that as I’m being held accountable, it’s for the decisions I make, not the decisions that other people are making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: You talk about getting a greater understanding of the current homeless population and how they're being served in the city. Do you think the city and homeless advocates should hold off on any new funding before the city gets a greater account of that?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: Any increase in taxes ought to be a collaborative effort. There ought to be real options for the purposes of making sure that when we ask the voters for this money, that we’re able to deliver what we say we’re going to deliver as a result of this money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: I want to ask about safe injection sites. This was another bill at the state level that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11695653/brown-rejects-supervised-injection-site-for-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vetoed by the governor\u003c/a> that would have allowed pilot program for supervised injection sites here in the city. You said you’re not giving up on it. What does that mean?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: We’re looking at ways in which we could potentially open a site or sites here in our city. In addition to the challenges with state law, there are challenges with federal law as well. We are hopeful that Gavin Newsom, if he becomes governor, will be more supportive of our efforts, because this is just not about providing a convenient place for people to shoot-up and use drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People unfortunately suffer from drug addiction, and it’s not just going to go away because we don’t want to see it. So what are ways in which we can try to help people into treatment? This is one of the most effective ways to do that. And this is why I’m pushing for it, because when that person is coming to a safe injection site on a regular basis, we’re able to collect and discard the needles safely, we’re able to keep it in contained environment so it’s not happening out on the streets, and you don’t see the needles out there as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could not only save lives, it could save money. It could save about $2.3 million in the hospital visits, the needle cleanup, all these things we’re dealing with around public health. This is just an innovative way to address what we know is a very challenging, complex problem. The opioid crisis sadly has impacted not just San Francisco, but it exists all over the United States. We have to do something different if we want to see something different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Marzorati: You talked during the campaign about a “historic culture of no” in San Francisco around the development of housing. Can you talk about your administration’s efforts around streamlining and getting housing built faster that has already been identified as affordable housing?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Breed\u003c/strong>: One of the first things I did was to get all of the departments responsible for approvals as it relates to housing production and infrastructure together, and we meet on a regular basis to talk about solutions. And one of the easiest solutions that was proposed was to cut back on the bureaucratic red tape for ADUs — accessory dwelling units, aka in-laws. We came together, and I put out the directive to say that I want existing permits that are in the pipeline to be completed in the next six months. And moving forward, any new applications need to be approved within four months, because they were taking anywhere between 12 and 18 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re talking about around 1,400 units, about 90 percent of those would most likely be rent-controlled units.

It would set a lower “active resistance” standard for when the electro-shock weapons can be used. Active resistance is defined in SFPD use-of-force rules as “physically evasive movements to defeat an officer’s attempt at control including bracing, tensing, running away, verbally or physically signaling an intention to avoid or prevent being taken into or retained in custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Officers Association President Tony Montoya told KQED last month that officers should be able to use Tasers “preemptively,” and that Measure H would require the Police Commission to allow that when the weapons are deployed, tentatively planned for the end of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Montoya said in a text message Tuesday night that he is “disappointed with the early results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement Wednesday morning, Montoya said the measure forced San Francisco to finally put a plan in place for deploying the weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The greatest result of this undertaking was forcing the hand of the Police Commission to expeditiously create and adopt a taser policy for fear our proposition would succeed,\" Montoya wrote. \"Through political activism we reached a compromise whereby tasers will be issued and, through the will of the voters, to be used under very particular circumstances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No on H\" campaign co-chair Alexander Post said Tuesday night that while he was surprised by the early lead in \"no\" votes, the rejection of the measure followed opposition from a broad group of city leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whatever political power the POA used to have has clearly faded in this town,\" Post said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief William Scott and District Attorney George Gascón are among many law enforcement leaders in the city who opposed Measure H.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of San Francisco are seeing this for what it is,” Gascón said at an election party in the city’s Mission District Tuesday night, after the first round of results had just been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They essentially jumped the gun,” Public Defender Jeff Adachi said of the POA, noting that much of the “Yes on H” campaign ads and literature portrayed a vote for the measure as a vote for SFPD officers to carry Tasers – without mentioning that the weapons are already scheduled to be deployed. “San Francisco voters are smart.

The company sells the nation’s best-selling menthol cigarette. All that money was appalling to Patrick Reynolds. He's an heir of the company, and he lost his father to emphysema.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only memory I have of him is a man lying down dying gasping of breath,” Reynolds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reynolds is an anti-tobacco advocate stridently opposed to candy-flavored e-cigarettes like berry, nacho cheese or gummy bear flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is an obscene, outrageous brazen ploy by the tobacco industry and by the vaping industry to ensnare another generation to be addicted,” Reynolds said. “And it's just got to stop.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city-wide ban will go into effect 10 days after the election is certified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Francisco Measure H\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure H would have enshrined looser rules for when San Francisco police officers can use Tasers, overriding a stricter policy that the Police Commission hammered out earlier this year. With 100 precincts reporting, the measure has failed with 60 percent of voters opposing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current policy approved by the San Francisco Police Commission in March requires officers to be faced with an imminent physical threat to use the weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure H was drafted and almost exclusively funded by the San Francisco Police Officers Association. It would set a lower “active resistance” standard for when the electro-shock weapons can be used. Active resistance is defined in SFPD use-of-force rules as “physically evasive movements to defeat an officer’s attempt at control including bracing, tensing, running away, verbally or physically signaling an intention to avoid or prevent being taken into or retained in custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Officers Association President Tony Montoya told KQED last month that officers should be able to use Tasers “preemptively,” and that Measure H would require the Police Commission to allow that when the weapons are deployed, tentatively planned for the end of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Montoya said in a text message Tuesday night that he is “disappointed with the early results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement Wednesday morning, Montoya said the measure forced San Francisco to finally put a plan in place for deploying the weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The greatest result of this undertaking was forcing the hand of the Police Commission to expeditiously create and adopt a taser policy for fear our proposition would succeed,\" Montoya wrote. \"Through political activism we reached a compromise whereby tasers will be issued and, through the will of the voters, to be used under very particular circumstances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No on H\" campaign co-chair Alexander Post said Tuesday night that while he was surprised by the early lead in \"no\" votes, the rejection of the measure followed opposition from a broad group of city leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whatever political power the POA used to have has clearly faded in this town,\" Post said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief William Scott and District Attorney George Gascón are among many law enforcement leaders in the city who opposed Measure H.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of San Francisco are seeing this for what it is,” Gascón said at an election party in the city’s Mission District Tuesday night, after the first round of results had just been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They essentially jumped the gun,” Public Defender Jeff Adachi said of the POA, noting that much of the “Yes on H” campaign ads and literature portrayed a vote for the measure as a vote for SFPD officers to carry Tasers – without mentioning that the weapons are already scheduled to be deployed. “San Francisco voters are smart. They read between the lines.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Jose Measures B and C\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Measures C and D in San Francisco, San Jose's Measures B and C are going head-to-head, this time over housing and urban sprawl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With 95 percent of precincts reporting, Measure B was failing with 55.92 percent of voters opposing the measure, and Measure C was passing with 58.95 percent in favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure B, backed by developers, would rezone the Evergreen Hills area above San Jose to allow for development, in hopes of increasing housing supply, specifically up to 900 units for seniors. But critics say it would contribute to urban sprawl without adding much truly affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure C, placed on the ballot as a counter measure by the City Council, would restrict development unless it met strict affordability and environmental requirements. It would also override Measure B if both passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[If Measure C passes] it signals that the community is united against developer-backed initiatives telling communities how they have to grow,\" said Megan Medeiros, the chair of the \"No on B/Yes on C\" campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1924151/measure-c-has-fiercely-divided-napas-wine-industry-heres-whats-at-stake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Napa Valley Measure C\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure C in Napa Valley, known as the Watershed and Oak Woodland Protection Initiative, would establish protections for oak woodlands and streams located along Napa's hillsides by limiting how many acres can be cut for vineyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With 100 percent of precincts reporting but some mail-in ballots still yet to be counted, the measure is passing narrowly with 7,191 votes in favor and 7,149 against - a difference of 42 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a tremendous amount of pressure to expand vineyard holdings up into the forested hillsides in Napa County floor because the valley floor is basically planted out,\" said Jim Wilson, who is with the \"Yes on C\" campaign. \"Ultimately we can no longer afford to be cutting our forests down. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say Measure C would help protect forests, nearby streams, and conserve water, including for existing vineyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents feel the measure is not necessary and say the county already has many environmental and conservation regulations on farmers.
