everything from monument to golden gate park to market street, other works in the collection, from the wpa era, the quite tower, the works from the george washington high school. we have the contemporary education, where they depict some of the vocational arts that were taught at george washington high school. what is interesting is the artist's and corp. of some of the -- incorporation of some of the architectural elements. they used the speaker from the p a system as part of the design. on the opposite side of the library, we have a large fresco which depicts the academic subjects that were taught at the time. it serves as a foil to the other fresco in the library, we have academic subjects on one side, vocational subjects on the other, and result is the concept of a well-rounded education. additionally, what we plan to do is the academy of hospitality and tourism will be part of, so the students can share with other students, faculty, the neighborhood, and others to come by and what to look to the artwork we have. >> by working with the students, we hope to raise awareness of the collec

. >> again, another example of the wpa. the streets, they wanted to get to the top of the hill, said the duties beautiful walls and stairways. they are doing well. >> all of these hillsides have catalyzed the design and construction of the interesting foundations and sub framing. >> up there, you'll find quite often, because it is rock, they have dug holes, filled it with concrete, put pulls up, and built their buildings. they have been there actually now 67 years. >> some of these are significant earthquake hazard? >> many of them, because they're not properly braced, because the foundations are not deep enough. the consequences could be significant during an earthquake. >> the tunnel opened that whole section up to development. did that lead to park side? >> west portal is right here. it this slope. westport open up this whole area down here, with the reservoir. the tunnel was built and two different ways. one of them was cut and cover, the other was a tunneling machine. as they came close to the side of the hill, they du

the lower walls was actually billed as part of the wpa. the upper wall was built in 1991-'92. this is a concrete wall and it has rocked going through the wall that extends the distance of 80 feet beyond the wall. the next earthquake occurs, the wall is designed to resist and the movement of the sand and allowed it to move down hill. this is a classic example of the creek and degree flow and exists all the way the area. we might see the other evidence. we have done nothing to improve the quality and the strength of the dam. >> one of the things that has come up in the policy issue over and over is that people are concerned that construction of a new building or the upper story might exacerbate these kinds of soil problems. we have extra review where we might have extra problems. it does that construction have an impact? it is a good idea to come to a peer review or a geotechnical review process as part of determining. >> in january of this year, the california building code requires almost all of san francisco that we get geologist and a geotechnical engineer. it was a state bu

i would also notes very briefly on the content, i recently saw a talk about the wpa and the project's steering the depression and the important art component to construction projects. give me a new appreciation of the importance of connecting art to public construction projects. i think that continues to fall into that. i think this will work. commissioner moran: thank you. president vietor: i think that would hava great to better infom the public. i think that would be quite helpful. other questions or comments? yes, please come forward. >> we met with juliette a couple times. we understand this is a great opportunity for a continued partnership. i'm one of the few that ventures out throughout san francisco and i understand how a lot of money is put into the arts. art galleries up and down downtown. we would like to see some of that here in this part of the community. we have to continue saying it. win-win and equity to we have some very talented artists. we have filmmakers. we want to see more of that stuff here. we want to be part of the leadership in developing it. keep in mind th

the wpa helped get us out of the great depression. couldn't we take a page out of that? now we have 9.2% unemployment, declining wages, and the unemployment is much higher than that, and stagnant home values. we need government spending to help boost the economy, the same way it did during world war ii afterwards. all right? so instead we have two political parties fighting over who can cut more spending from the budget, and put the country's financial future at risk. that's where we are. oh, by the way, the president asked the american people to engage tonight. there are reports of republicans saying that the house servers, they're crashing. congressional websites are crashing tonight, they're getting hit so hard by the american people. i thought tonight was a great night for america. isn't every night? i mean, i love the debate. in fact, i think round two should be president obama and speaker boehner going at it on live tv. hell, let's just negotiate out in public. joining me tonight is former labor secretary, robert reich, also professor of public policy and author of

you said the wpa, the ccc, civilian conservation corps.create jobs now. >> so the democrats, if they were to get the reid plan, they of course would protect the big three which is big for the base, big for people on fixed incomes, and it would not increase reven revenue. and it would cut what you're talking about, the possibility of job creation, because we're taking too much out of the economy. how could this be viewed as a win for the president? >> well, i don't think it would be a win. i mean it's win only relative to what the republicans are proposing. but if you save social security and medicare and medicaid, that's great. but if you take $2.7 trillion out of the economy, and if you do it soon, unfortunately, then you're going to have a tremendous problem. if you don't raise taxes on the rich, where are those cuts going to come from? they're going to come from education, from infrastructure, from basic r&d. from all of the things that you need to grow the economy and create jobs. >> and, of course, if we go back to the old tax rates,

i think the wpa art work is characterized by stylized robustness and a pervasive occupation with a historical. in this panel, we have a depiction of george washington moving west. what is interesting about it is the image of lewis and clark here is in black and white, something that is occurring in the future, painted as though it was in the past. what is interesting about it is the very obvious conclusion of slavery. the number of students were expressing unease around some of the themes. the additional mural would be placed in the school, one with more positive representation of the student body. in 1974, they completed three panels that were placed in the library -- in the lobby. they depict native, latino, asian american, and african- american heritage and culture. >> that artist was talking about the history coming alive. that is what we want for the students here. i also think they might share that with past alumni and the community, so they could no the treasure that we have here in the schools. many people have the same experience i did when i first walked into this building three yea

they call the wpa back then. there is something to be said about working to get a paycheck.re are too many people that are third, fourth generation on welfare, and not really because of their own fault, but now they do not know how to get a job. they do not know how to work. and there is a satisfaction of getting a paycheck. way back in the 1960's when a president retired, he did not get the kind of money that he is. our congressmen did not get the paychecks and benefits that they get. would we have as many running for congress if they did not get the benefits, lifetime benefits? no one gets lifetime benefits anymore. host: we had an earlier caller that suggested we might do a program to determine just what members of congress receive in terms of salary, benefits. the gym, travel expenses, and the like. guest: they are very well taken care of, no denying it. we heard back when we were having the debate over obamacare, why don't they pass through the same type of health care for us that they get? it is obamacare so good, why don't they go on it themselves? there is no denying
