00:00:04.070 - 00:00:16.370

well during my campaign there's no question in my mind that the two main concerns of all the citizens here in san Francisco our crime and the high rate of taxes, what do you think can be done about them that isn't being done? Well I think there's

00:00:16.370 - 00:00:30.670

a general feeling that I've detected in talking with people that there's the complacent feeling the inaction and the unresponsiveness on the part of the board of supervisors tend to intensify these actions. I think there's a feeling that the people generally today I want to get more

00:00:30.670 - 00:00:44.870

involved and more conscious of what is happening in the government and I think that's a good sign. Do you think that there is any difficulty in getting a chinese such as yourself elected to the board of supervisors that's never happened before. This never happened before. I

00:00:44.870 - 00:00:57.100

think the chances are very good. I think all signs are very encouraging. I would like to see that happen because I know I can contribute to the needs of the city. How much strength do you have do you think outside of the chinatown area? Well, I

00:00:57.100 - 00:01:31.720

think that in my campaigns throughout the last couple of months they've been talking to people and passing out brochures. I think the reaction has been tremendous and very favorable. I think that the most serious problem that we're facing is to erase

00:01:31.720 - 00:01:49.460

the causes of division and the root causes of frustration. The fact that a lot of people are underemployed and unemployed and the fact that a number of people are housed inadequately and don't have a proper education. If we can do away with these root causes of

00:01:49.460 - 00:02:04.840

frustration, then those who are talking about safety on the streets will have a permanent solution to this problem. And couple this with a change of priorities in the Police department so that the emphasis is on peace enforcement and having more men out on the street walking

00:02:04.840 - 00:02:16.700

a beat or driving in the neighborhoods where you and I live, getting to know the people and their problems and preventing crime and not responding to it. Do you think that the current board is not doing this kind of thing or is not interested in responding

00:02:16.700 - 00:02:32.550

to this kind of problem? I don't think that the board is responding aggressively to do something about these root causes of frustration, the fact that so many people are underemployed and so many people haven't got a high school diploma and the poor are ill housed and

00:02:32.550 - 00:03:01.150

we don't have any middle income housing. Hey Ben, can you come back and wait? Hello. You've been over here? Yeah. Thank you. You want to have sex with us?
