. >> are the broadcasters sitting on unused spectrum? >> the broadcasters. given what we have left. what is being proposed is to take an additional 40% of our spectrum. if that is done, we are very concerned. the viewers need to understand the difference between the broadcast spectrum the way we utilize it in the wake wireless utilizes it. when we use it, power transmission is going to everyone in a demographic area. it is very efficiently used. when you look at the way wifi does it, if i send you a video on mike iphone, it is from me to you. it is 121. it takes a tremendous amount of bandwidth. -- it is one to one. we are in the video business. they want to be in the video business. no one does it more efficiently than we do. if you to call the broadcast spectrum, there's probably not in of spectrum in the universe to manage one to one video on every mobile device in the world. we think our transmission is efficient and is essential. we do it for free. they will charge you a fee. free is better than a fee, especially when you consider that the people who rely on the old fashioned w

there are some unused streets in the western part of the park that not have cars on them at all. that is a remote part of the park that most people do not visit, and i think it would be wise to use that. i want to point out that on the display of there, the safety issue was always looked at as one two parties confront one another on a pathway or trail. our concern is the opposite -- when at four miles an hour, they will overtake pedestrians. especially today. i'm a bicyclist. i ride in the park every day. when you come up behind pedestrians, especially if they happen to have ipads in their ears, they are completely oblivious to the rest of the world -- if they happen to have ipods in their ears. they do not know you are behind them. that is a potential danger, and i think that is probably the issue. a park is supposed to be a place of respite, and the complaints we get from our members is they want to just go over and have a nice, quiet walk in the park, and this is a motorized vehicle. it is like the elephant in the room. you may want to deny it is there, but it is there. superv

that is a staggering amount of space going unused. a staggering amount of general fund money not being collected. i mean, it is truly an unfathomable to me that we are turning this into something that it really is not. what we have here is an opportunity without redevelopment, which, by the way, takes away more general fund money than is ever would, to revitalize an area that by all definitions is blighted. i also want to emphasize things that i do not think have been hit yet. which is that we have the potential to attract a grocery store to the taylor and eddy area. we have the potential to turn the original joe's into a more usable space. this is much more than just market street. in the tenderloin, if you walk the streets, you will see there is very limited store fronts, contrary a popular belief. because it is so limited, those storefronts are so much more important because they really anchor the areas to the neighbors. this is a public safety issue. this is an opportunity to turn something -- [bell rings] supervisor chu: 90. >> m

exceptional extraordinary circumstances and the expansion of the new owner of 2709 market is to take the unused roof service and create usable open space for the occupational use of the young children and this property and the limited dimensions set the landscape atten an elevation that makes it difficult to use especially for young children. by comparison t proposed deck area outside the interior play room is more useful and practical for young children under supervision. and to occupy the proposed deck with landscape planters up to the deck level. the proposal is entirely code compliant and meets the residential guidelines and the d.r. requester misinterpreted the code requirements as well as the planning code section he cited. planning staff has found compliance and confirm with the interpretations as well and were carefully considered and the distance between structures and in particular the window he is concerned about are over 6 feet at the closest point and the limited use period and mutual desire for privacy and although there is limited sharing, they have offered additional screening t

if your line gets cut or becomes unusable, as some in the city are now, you cannot just walk or model through it. you are potentially in trouble. i could also foresee a situation where when muni does a periodic analysis of ridership, we have no idea what it will be. good seeing lower than other lines, but the impact on treasure island would be so much more devastating than cuts in other neighborhoods. i'm just wondering what you are thinking about that. >> there is a few indicators they give me confidence, especially working with the service planning team, to use the model and the data -- remember that pre-tep, there was not the wealth of data that we have, real-time ridership and transfer data activity. that told us how much service would be needed before the buses came -- became overcrowded, or the risk that the bus became rigid the bus was overcharging. the other risk is that we run too much service that is way ahead of demand. we have to make sure to tailor the service we are providing. how accurate demand is a tale of out with everything we have worked on, but i can tell you that

i ask you to support the ordinance to reduce the environmental and financial impact of unused yellow pages in san francisco, even though there are only about 800,000 residents in the city, like joe mail and spam, many of the phone books are on wanted and never get used. please consider the but -- the benefit of this ordinance and send it to the full board of supervisors with our recommendations. seniors and persons with disabilities would benefit. thank you very much. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i am with chinese yellow pages. i am the general manager. first of all, i would like to say it is not fair to say that our company is in favor to the ordinance. even though we have been doing door-to-door distribution, we have been doing that not because we are in favor but because we have no choice because we have no way of knowing the person behind the door reads chinese. in past years, we have been building and send it to small businesses or chinese markets, and most of the time, when it comes to publication, a lot of chinese residents have to actually call our office to a

. >> host: are the broadcasters hoarding or sitting on unused spectrum? >> guest: well, the broadcasters were given what we have left and what is being proposed to take an additional 40% of our spectrum. if that is done, in that amount, we are very concerned and what your viewers need to understand is the difference between broadcast spectrum the way we utilize it and the way wireless uses it is that when we use it, our transmission is one to everyone and a demographic area. it is very efficiently use when you look at the way wifi does it. if i sent you a video on my iphone, it is me to you. it is one-to-one. it takes a tremendous amount of bandwidth. the truth is we are in the video business. they want to be in the video business. video is what creates the congestion. no one does it more efficiently than we do and there is probably, if you took all of broadcast spectrum, there probably isn't enough spectrum in the universe to manage one-to-one video on every mobile device and the wifi broadband world. so, we think that our transmission is efficient and i
