(File photo by Michelle Gachet/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In case you haven't heard, there's a lot of tension in San Francisco these days. Some might call it \"a culture war,\" others \"gentrification\" and still others \"a housing crisis.\" Or if you are Mayor Ed Lee, you may refer to the change in San Francisco simply as \"growth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/radio/programs/forum/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's \"Forum\u003c/a>\" had the mayor on for an entire hour Monday morning. Even so, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/KQEDForum/photos/a.404410413368.167969.146772588368/10152196381353369/?type=1\" target=\"_blank\">reams of listener questions \u003c/a>went unanswered for lack of time. But the mayor did speak about housing, the Ellis Act, Proposition B, minimum wage, schools and Sunday parking, to name just a few issues. Here are highlights from the interview, edited for clarity and length. You can listen to the show in full \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201404211000\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Rolling Back Metered Parking on Sundays:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don’t think Muni and the city can have a good conversation with our property owners about investment if we're penalizing them for parking on the streets on Sundays when they least expect it. Other jurisdictions haven't done this. It's a surprise and shock, and every time someone gets into their car on Sunday and they happen to be a minute or two over, they get dinged. And these are not inexpensive citations. These are expensive! It’s hurtful revenue, not helpful revenue. And therefore, I think the better conversation is: If we stop nickel-and-diming you, would you support us on the big dollars that we ask? And I believe people are telling me 'Yes, we can do that.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> In Defense of Tech Workers:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Half the time I spend in these companies is with the employees. And they are residents of San Francisco. And they are also working class. There's a lot of folks that are making $40,000 to $50,000 a year. And they’re struggling ... they have the same issues (as everyone else). How can I get to work on time? What about the schools? Public safety ... And I have these conversations over and over again with nonprofits as well as with people who’ve got work. The underemployed, same thing. So, these conversations are not had only with (the image of the tech worker that is being perpetuated) by those who don’t want the tech companies here. I'm interpreting their positions more and more as being anti- growth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Response to Complaints That Direct Action Was Not Taken Against Tech Buses:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, there is now, with respect to this pilot program that our Municipal Transportation Agency has been authorized to do by the Board of Supervisors. We have this next year to figure out how to make sure that the shuttle buses and all the other shuttles — because it's not just the tech shuttles by the way, people have to understand there are hospital shuttles, there are educational shuttles that are using these bus stops. We've all got to coordinate them better. And if the cost of coordinating those — so that they don't interfere with the regular Muni bus stops and their transportation schedules — if it costs more, we'll have to consider charging more. But it has to be a direct cost. We were forewarned through our city attorney’s office that we can only charge for these as much as they cost us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Closing Ellis Act Loopholes and \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1439\" target=\"_blank\">Senate Bill 1439:\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I certainly think it's aimed at speculators. And (helping them) was not the original intent of the Ellis Act. The Ellis Act was to allow small landlords to get out of the business of being landlords. What got out of hand is that companies are coming in and they're forming LLCs and they're simply speculating on these properties. Coming in and wiping out long-term, rent-controlled tenants, and seniors and immigrants and others, on the speculation that they can sell the property to somebody else. That's a loophole in my respect. And I am very thankful to Sen. Mark Leno for helping take this on with us at the state level ... \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Not Taking a Position on \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov2.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/elections/candidates/Jun2014/Jun2014_WaterfrontHeightLimit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition B:\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can’t be distracted. I mean, right now, the advocates of Prop. B have the whole waterfront issue and I can't just decide to just have that fight and spend all my time doing it. We know where our housing can be built right now and it's in the southeast corridor, it's in Hunters View, it's in the south of Mission Bay, it’s all over those sites that we already have. We just have to get those projects going. ... These are the priorities that I am working on right now. I can't be sidetracked with a waterfront battle that I think would probably lose anyway. ... I've got other things to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Supporting a Minimum Wage Increase to $15 an Hour:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said I was \u003cem>open\u003c/em> to up to $15 an hour. And I didn't state a number at the beginning (of the minimum wage debate.) What I indicated was that I would like a process that included the chamber, small businesses, nonprofits, working-class folks. ... You've got to get people united around this in order for them to say that this minimum wage increase will help all of us, and will not decrease the number of jobs that we have. It's still related to jobs. You can't just increase minimum wage and then lose a bunch of jobs and say you've been successful. It's more complicated than that and we want to take up those complications in the right way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> On Students Leaving San Francisco Unified School District for Private Schools:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\"The only way to invite more students into the public schools is to make sure that they are the best. And that’s my goal. And, certainly, that’s something that has resonated with the private sector because all the different companies – and especially Salesforce.com through Marc Benioff and Lynne Benioff’s efforts – to help me revitalize the middle schools in the city, which I think are the most challenging. And we have now another $5 million investment by Salesforce to complement our school districts' focus on getting all the core elements of our middle schools together as high-performing as they are in private schools.

(File photo by Michelle Gachet/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In case you haven't heard, there's a lot of tension in San Francisco these days. Some might call it \"a culture war,\" others \"gentrification\" and still others \"a housing crisis.\" Or if you are Mayor Ed Lee, you may refer to the change in San Francisco simply as \"growth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/radio/programs/forum/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's \"Forum\u003c/a>\" had the mayor on for an entire hour Monday morning. Even so, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/KQEDForum/photos/a.404410413368.167969.146772588368/10152196381353369/?type=1\" target=\"_blank\">reams of listener questions \u003c/a>went unanswered for lack of time. But the mayor did speak about housing, the Ellis Act, Proposition B, minimum wage, schools and Sunday parking, to name just a few issues. Here are highlights from the interview, edited for clarity and length. You can listen to the show in full \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201404211000\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Rolling Back Metered Parking on Sundays:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don’t think Muni and the city can have a good conversation with our property owners about investment if we're penalizing them for parking on the streets on Sundays when they least expect it. Other jurisdictions haven't done this. It's a surprise and shock, and every time someone gets into their car on Sunday and they happen to be a minute or two over, they get dinged. And these are not inexpensive citations. These are expensive! It’s hurtful revenue, not helpful revenue. And therefore, I think the better conversation is: If we stop nickel-and-diming you, would you support us on the big dollars that we ask? And I believe people are telling me 'Yes, we can do that.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And they are residents of San Francisco. And they are also working class. There's a lot of folks that are making $40,000 to $50,000 a year. And they’re struggling ... they have the same issues (as everyone else). How can I get to work on time? What about the schools? Public safety ... And I have these conversations over and over again with nonprofits as well as with people who’ve got work. The underemployed, same thing. So, these conversations are not had only with (the image of the tech worker that is being perpetuated) by those who don’t want the tech companies here. I'm interpreting their positions more and more as being anti- growth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Response to Complaints That Direct Action Was Not Taken Against Tech Buses:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, there is now, with respect to this pilot program that our Municipal Transportation Agency has been authorized to do by the Board of Supervisors. We have this next year to figure out how to make sure that the shuttle buses and all the other shuttles — because it's not just the tech shuttles by the way, people have to understand there are hospital shuttles, there are educational shuttles that are using these bus stops. We've all got to coordinate them better. And if the cost of coordinating those — so that they don't interfere with the regular Muni bus stops and their transportation schedules — if it costs more, we'll have to consider charging more. But it has to be a direct cost. We were forewarned through our city attorney’s office that we can only charge for these as much as they cost us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Closing Ellis Act Loopholes and \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1439\" target=\"_blank\">Senate Bill 1439:\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I certainly think it's aimed at speculators. And (helping them) was not the original intent of the Ellis Act. The Ellis Act was to allow small landlords to get out of the business of being landlords. What got out of hand is that companies are coming in and they're forming LLCs and they're simply speculating on these properties. Coming in and wiping out long-term, rent-controlled tenants, and seniors and immigrants and others, on the speculation that they can sell the property to somebody else. That's a loophole in my respect. And I am very thankful to Sen. Mark Leno for helping take this on with us at the state level ... \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Not Taking a Position on \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov2.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/elections/candidates/Jun2014/Jun2014_WaterfrontHeightLimit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition B:\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can’t be distracted. I mean, right now, the advocates of Prop. B have the whole waterfront issue and I can't just decide to just have that fight and spend all my time doing it. We know where our housing can be built right now and it's in the southeast corridor, it's in Hunters View, it's in the south of Mission Bay, it’s all over those sites that we already have. We just have to get those projects going. ... These are the priorities that I am working on right now. I can't be sidetracked with a waterfront battle that I think would probably lose anyway. ... I've got other things to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Supporting a Minimum Wage Increase to $15 an Hour:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said I was \u003cem>open\u003c/em> to up to $15 an hour. And I didn't state a number at the beginning (of the minimum wage debate.) What I indicated was that I would like a process that included the chamber, small businesses, nonprofits, working-class folks. ... You've got to get people united around this in order for them to say that this minimum wage increase will help all of us, and will not decrease the number of jobs that we have. It's still related to jobs. You can't just increase minimum wage and then lose a bunch of jobs and say you've been successful. It's more complicated than that and we want to take up those complications in the right way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> On Students Leaving San Francisco Unified School District for Private Schools:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\"The only way to invite more students into the public schools is to make sure that they are the best. And that’s my goal. And, certainly, that’s something that has resonated with the private sector because all the different companies – and especially Salesforce.com through Marc Benioff and Lynne Benioff’s efforts – to help me revitalize the middle schools in the city, which I think are the most challenging.

It would take effect July 1. The agency's two-year spending plan must still be approved by the Board of Supervisors, which will consider it May 1. The board would have to reject the entire budget in order for the Sunday parking reversal to not go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel we need to step back, and really work with our communities to really explain the reasons behind and the reasons for progressive parking management, “ said SFMTA Director Cheryl Brinkman.

The soonest that would happen is January. \"It's not a question of if, but when,\" said Chair Tom Nolan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There seems to be a growing consensus among many public policy stakeholders that Sunday parking meters are a good thing for San Francisco. Everyone from \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/williesworld/article/50-years-after-sit-ins-some-things-unchanged-5398158.php\">former Mayor Willie Brown\u003c/a> to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/openforum/article/Don-t-roll-back-Sunday-parking-meters-in-San-5393842.php\">San Francisco Chamber of Commerce\u003c/a> to transit advocates agrees that the city should keep the meters functioning on Sundays because they create more parking turnover in commercial neighborhoods and bring in much-needed revenue for Muni.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course drivers do not necessarily agree, and under pressure from Mayor Ed Lee, the SFMTA Board of Directors could vote to repeal Sunday meters today when it \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/sfmta-board-to-vote-on-proposed-budget/Content?oid=2768353\">considers a new budget\u003c/a>. Lee is betting on a political strategy he hopes will win votes for a package of transportation funding measures expected to appear on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his \u003ca href=\"http://sfmayor.org/index.aspx?page=983\">\"State of the City\"\u003c/a> address\" earlier this year, Lee suggested that drivers were being gouged and that there was a torrent of complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody likes it. Not parents. Not our neighborhood small businesses. Not me,\" he said. \"Let's stop nickel-and-diming people at the meter and work together to pass a transportation bond and vehicle license fee increase in 2014 instead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a merchant who submitted a sunshine request found there was no backlash against Sunday meters, \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/03/20/contrary-to-ed-lee-records-show-no-popular-revolt-against-sunday-meters/\">according to Streetsblog San Francisco:\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The records, furnished to Streetsblog by Ed Rosenblatt, a hardware store merchant who supports Sunday meters and filed the request, indicate that no one emailed the mayor’s office about Sunday meters between March, 2013, and this January, when Lee announced his push to repeal them. What’s more, of the January emails, 17 were in support of keeping the parking meters, and only seven were against it. The policy is also supported by many merchants and the Chamber of Commerce since it allows more driving customers to use the limited supply of parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The purported Sunday meter revolt was also not evident in calls and emails to 311. According to the SFMTA’s December report [\u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Evaluation-of-Sunday-Parking-Management-12.10.2013.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>] on Sunday meters, 311 received just 41 calls and emails about the policy, with 23 of those in support of meters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, calls and emails aren’t the only ways to complain to City Hall. But if there’s really a popular revolt driving Lee’s sudden push to undo smart policy, you would expect to find some trace of it in the easiest ways to lodge a complaint with the city. And there is no such trace.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Evaluation-of-Sunday-Parking-Management-12.10.2013.pdf\">study\u003c/a> by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency showed that Sunday meters are ameliorating a notorious dearth of parking spots. Since metering was implemented in early 2013, the SFMTA found that it's easier to park in commercial neighborhoods:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Prior to operating meters on Sundays, it was hard to find parking in almost every commercial area in the city. Now parking availability is much higher, so it is easier for drivers—many of whom are likely customers of neighborhood businesses—to access commercial areas. Between 2012 and 2013, the average parking availability on Sunday doubled during metered hours, increasing from 15 percent to 31 percent.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>SFMTA Transportation Director Ed Reiskin, who manages the agency, originally proposed a compromise: keep Sunday meters but back off on enforcement.

It would take effect July 1. The agency's two-year spending plan must still be approved by the Board of Supervisors, which will consider it May 1.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There seems to be a growing consensus among many public policy stakeholders that Sunday parking meters are a good thing for San Francisco. Everyone from \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/williesworld/article/50-years-after-sit-ins-some-things-unchanged-5398158.php\">former Mayor Willie Brown\u003c/a> to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/openforum/article/Don-t-roll-back-Sunday-parking-meters-in-San-5393842.php\">San Francisco Chamber of Commerce\u003c/a> to transit advocates agrees that the city should keep the meters functioning on Sundays because they create more parking turnover in commercial neighborhoods and bring in much-needed revenue for Muni.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course drivers do not necessarily agree, and under pressure from Mayor Ed Lee, the SFMTA Board of Directors could vote to repeal Sunday meters today when it \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/sfmta-board-to-vote-on-proposed-budget/Content?oid=2768353\">considers a new budget\u003c/a>. Lee is betting on a political strategy he hopes will win votes for a package of transportation funding measures expected to appear on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his \u003ca href=\"http://sfmayor.org/index.aspx?page=983\">\"State of the City\"\u003c/a> address\" earlier this year, Lee suggested that drivers were being gouged and that there was a torrent of complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody likes it. Not parents. Not our neighborhood small businesses. Not me,\" he said. \"Let's stop nickel-and-diming people at the meter and work together to pass a transportation bond and vehicle license fee increase in 2014 instead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a merchant who submitted a sunshine request found there was no backlash against Sunday meters, \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/03/20/contrary-to-ed-lee-records-show-no-popular-revolt-against-sunday-meters/\">according to Streetsblog San Francisco:\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The records, furnished to Streetsblog by Ed Rosenblatt, a hardware store merchant who supports Sunday meters and filed the request, indicate that no one emailed the mayor’s office about Sunday meters between March, 2013, and this January, when Lee announced his push to repeal them. What’s more, of the January emails, 17 were in support of keeping the parking meters, and only seven were against it. The policy is also supported by many merchants and the Chamber of Commerce since it allows more driving customers to use the limited supply of parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The purported Sunday meter revolt was also not evident in calls and emails to 311. According to the SFMTA’s December report [\u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Evaluation-of-Sunday-Parking-Management-12.10.2013.pdf\">PDF\u003c/a>] on Sunday meters, 311 received just 41 calls and emails about the policy, with 23 of those in support of meters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, calls and emails aren’t the only ways to complain to City Hall. But if there’s really a popular revolt driving Lee’s sudden push to undo smart policy, you would expect to find some trace of it in the easiest ways to lodge a complaint with the city. And there is no such trace.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Evaluation-of-Sunday-Parking-Management-12.10.2013.pdf\">study\u003c/a> by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency showed that Sunday meters are ameliorating a notorious dearth of parking spots. Since metering was implemented in early 2013, the SFMTA found that it's easier to park in commercial neighborhoods:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Prior to operating meters on Sundays, it was hard to find parking in almost every commercial area in the city. Now parking availability is much higher, so it is easier for drivers—many of whom are likely customers of neighborhood businesses—to access commercial areas. Between 2012 and 2013, the average parking availability on Sunday doubled during metered hours, increasing from 15 percent to 31 percent.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>SFMTA Transportation Director Ed Reiskin, who manages the agency, originally proposed a compromise: keep Sunday meters but back off on enforcement. That, he said, should satisfy the mayor's main concern that too many drivers were getting citations on Sundays. The agency would \"significantly redeploy our resources away from Sunday meter enforcement. We have a lot more higher-pressing needs, particularly during the week during the evening rush, for example.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Reiskin's position changed last week, and he's now recommending that the entire program be repealed. Whether the SFMTA board will go along with that is unclear, but all members are appointed by the mayor and not likely to go against his wishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parking meters currently run from noon-6 p.m. on Sundays. The SFMTA hopes to replace nearly all of the old meters with new electronic meters this year so that drivers have more convenient options to pay.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
