a programmatic component and it will be legislation we will pursue outside the charter, but it was part of our conversation in the working group. the charter amendment will do a couple of things that we talked about -- it will reduce the on- site obligation by 20%, and it will also stabilize the affordable housing obligations for 30 years. the reduction is calibrated both in the percentage of units that are required, but also to an ami or affordability level. for ownership, our current program requires that 50% of on- site units be affordable to residents who make 90% of median income. but we also want the flexibility to, where appropriate, increase the ami level. rather than sell units at 90% ami, in some cases, it might make sense to sell units at 110% ami, a higher rate. because that higher income targeting will increase the sales price and reduced the gap between the sales price and production cost, this program will allow us to require a developer to provide more units, more than 12%. conversely, when it is appropriate to provide deeper availability -- let's say, 70% ami -- they wo

we have done some calls for projects, part one and part two. part two is open now.s provides an opportunity for sponsors for inclusion in the strategic plan, including those who intend to(lcu seek allocatin for funds in the current fiscal year 2012-2013. over the summer, we will continue to evaluate the project would have received during part one and those we anticipate receiving during part two. we will prepare the draft strategic plan, including the draft program of projects that will include programming for 50 years. we anticipate presenting that draft strategic plan to the cac in the timber and adoption in fall of 2012, concurrent -- in september and adoption in fall of 2012. with that, i am more than happy to take any questions on prop aa and the policies and prioritization criteria. supervisor avalos: colleagues, any comments or questions? thank you very much. we will go into public comment. >> good morning again, commissioners. having served on this committee to draft this plan, i strongly approve what is being put before you, and i strongly urge you to pass

i wanted to be a part of this history. some parts i wouldn't want to be. this part was really wonderful and a joyous occasion and a long time coming. it's absolutely the right thing to do. to bring 2 loving people together, in helping acknowledge and certify that relationship, i find really wonderful and a joy and one of the most pleasurable things i have ever done in the city in my life. i will be continuing this afterwards >> when i was conducting the ceremony. some of the friends said, now it's real, now it's legal. in other words, they had gotten married before. this time, it's legal. you know, a sanctioned. it was hard for me to get to the end. i was starting to get emotional too. >> it's really one of the most extraordinary gifts to be given in life and that's to participate in a ceremony where you can celebrate the ultimate gift in life and that was falling in love. i say this because it's important to remind people. doesn't matter what position you have in life. you can't buy it and you can't force it upon anything. love just happens. when it happe

that is part of the story of asia. fast economic growth that has translated into a better quality of life for hundreds of millions of people, sustainable economic growth, and sophistication that is not fully visible to everyone in what we used to describe as the west. our single most -- our single largest operation in the asia- pacific. we have 9700 employees here. we are the largest employer of financial services in singapore. we employ more people here even than the big domestic banks because we have a collection of businesses. big businesses domestically, corporate banking, private banking, consumer banking. we have 1 million credit cards in singapore. on top of these domestic businesses, we have regional businesses that serve all of asia. our global markets which would be foreign exchange, interest- rate derivatives, commodity business is based here in singapore. a lot of our transaction services for our multinational clients are based in singapore. private banking from asia, this is a part of the world generating

it is part as it stands. it really is. and we've cleaned up everything, the neighborhood, in hopes that guys will see that. this particular property with this perfectly. it would be such an asset to our community. it would also enhance all parts of the community. all these other areas are doing very, very well. we've had very little crime since the last four or five years. it's been just a great place to live and a great place to be. so i really appreciate your assistance in this endeavor. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. >> i do not see valley. moving on. >> good morning. i am peter strauss from the lower haight and district 5 and district 8. it looks like i will be staying in district 8. we have reached the bottom of the night. i am. -- i am sure it feels more like the bottom of the 54th. baseball analogies aside, there are a bunch of us here to make one last pitch. in 55 laguna into district 5. we have talked about community and compromise. we have gusty to recognize haight is the spine of the community and shoul

you have part a, part b, part c, part d. part a is the hospital insurance fund. part c, medicare advantage. it is not part d. these are complicated issues. and the romney campaign is taking advantage of this to confuse people, and that is shameful. >> a few weeks ago, a commissioner testified before the committee for the affordable care act. essentially, and i do not claim to have all of the details. he postulates in a somewhat unusual an unconventional role, and it is not certain. i think we would all agree that it is a 2000 page bill that is complex. are there ways that you can envision that the act may be made simpler or less complex? and what is the likelihood of that occurring after the november election? >> he is hoping that any constructive suggestion, this will fully kicked in in 2014. the reason the irs is part of this program is because you want to make sure that people can afford health care. it provides tax credits based on your income, so you go into these exchanges, these markets for health care insurance, very much like what federal employees and m

one part attack the incumbent, one part red meat, one part personal biography and one part defend theop of the ticket. romney offered a stinging indictment of the president. >> these past four years we have suffered no shortage of words in the white house. what is missing is leadership in the white house! [ cheers and applause ] >> it was also about talking to the base, firing up the conservative crowd with a bunch of red meat applause lines. >> that's freedom and i'll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners. [ applause ] >> there were cameras capturing governor scott walker tearing up as ryan talked about his roots in wisconsin. he defended the ticket on medicare by talking about his grandmother and mother who was in the audience. >> my thoughts go back to a house on garfield street in janesville. my wonderful grandma janet had alzheimer's. we had help from medicare. it was there just like it's there for my mom today. medicare is a promise. we will honor it. >> ryan's job was also to try to inoculate romney against perceived political weaknesses, i

the zoo feels it has to be part of the solution and dialogue. we have to conserve wildlife and wild things. this has to be one of our highest priorities. thank you all for coming together on this. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much. next, we're going to hear from a couple community partners. on the issue of this not being the end, but rather, the end of the first chapter and the wanted to mention that as a result of this amazing collaborative work, and it is really this group of people and men -- many of the folks in the public as well,; been awarded over';#í funding to pursue a implementation studies and carry these ideas forward to the next level, do that technical work, doing the challenging effort of converting the big ideas into real projects that can be implemented on the ground. with that, i want to bring up laura, 2 has been working on this in bringing these issues to the attention of -- who has been working on this and bringing these issues to the attention of the city. she was there from the beginning of the process, having a

you are a huge part of the san francisco giants.not arrived until you have your own bobblehead. [laughter] last year, we created a created abobblehea -- a tony bennett bobblehead for tony bennett night. it has a voice chip, and when you push the head, it sings "i left my heart in san francisco." tony painted a heart, part of the heroes with hart's program, and it is permanently on display at union square. next time you are at union square, check it out. it is really quite beautiful. it is only fitting that on this 50th anniversary, we create a permanent place in honor of tony at our ball park. we are going to rename suite 1, the most majestic in the park, sweeping views of the day and the city -- it is now going to be the tony bennett suite. come by for a visit. [applause] we love you, tony. [applause] >> thank you, larry. i have to find a way to make it down to that sweet this season -- suite this season. i think we know the most popular place to watch a giant game is going to be this city. our city is blessed with many wonderful o

there have to be connections to other parts of it. is the beauty and the investment that we make. as ed reiskin said, i am eternally grateful to president obama, leader pelosi, senator feinstein, boxer, others who are working so diligently with us to make these connections so that we/xo other regional transit system. so with that, please welcome our deputy administrator for the federal transit authority therese mcmillan. [applause] >> thank you so much, mayor lee. before we begin with my very good news for the region, the mayor mentioned how important connections are. i would like all of us to recall another connection we have as a human community and take a moment of silence out of respect for the victims and families of the aurora, colorado tragedy that happened yesterday. thanks very much. on behalf of transportation secretarys÷ [l$eÑ lahood, i am d to be here today to announce quality public transportation in the san francisco bayyya home region, about to take another step forward. for the third year in a row, we are announcing fu

part of the american dream is to prosper, to climb the ladder, and at cheap. in the construction industry, people start out working for someone else on a job site. after winning their trade or skills, might move on to remodeling jobs. the five to nine projects are a crucial part of this latter, and by impacting this category, you are taking a critical wrong out of the latter, thereby prohibiting advancement in the construction field -- you're taking a critical rung out of the ladder. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am kevin birmingham. i am a realtor, but more importantly, i am a native san franciscan. i have watched many of my friends and people in my family moved out of san francisco because there is an affordable housing problem in this city. i am getting on the board of realtors, and i am on the housing authority board committee, and we are bringing money to groups such as home ownership sf because i do believe in it. i think you need to look at -- the way to keep families in san francisco is what your building, and what we are see

one part is economic, which i'll get to in the second, but the other part that is missing is what it does for the city of san francisco to bring us together as a community, as a city. what happened when the 49ers won those super bowls year after year? that was a huge deal for our city and our community in san francisco. what happened with the world series this year when the giants won for the first time in over 50 years? incredible. everybody was celebrating. and that is a huge deal for our community in san francisco, but i think, economically, not only jobs in terms of construction of stadiums and what have you. economically, you know, for those people who do not believe or do not really fully appreciate what type of economic drivers the sporting events and teams are, go down to soma during a giants game. come to the marina when the blue angels fly in town. what it does to the local streets and bridges. come to district 3 and district two and districts 6 and 10 when the america's cup comes to town and see what type of influx of economic activity these events drive to us. i think tha

the eagle is part of our history, and establishment that has been an integral part in san francisco for so many years, and not just the lgbt community in san francisco, but abroad. so in light of that, i was really shocked that you would come here and say this is going to be neither a gay or straight bar. again, i think there are some cases where that is appropriate, many cases of beer that is appropriate, but when you're talking about taking over a clear landmarked and establishment that mean so much to this community, can you explain that? neither a gay or starighstraigh. what does that mean/ >> i was under the impression that any business owner could purchase of the establishment. have you been through the eagle tavern after it closed? supervisor campos: appointee you my point to you is -- >> my point is the previous owners were from the lgbt community, and they trashed it. i have some photographs. if you could bring those up. so as you can see, the place was destroyed and nearly unrecognizable. in some ways it is a clean slate, because obviously a considerable amount of work has to

i'm like any other part of the -- unlike any other part of the city. what other part of the city do you have these impact residential enclaves in the middle of blocks that have warehouses and very wide streets? it's a very unusual kind of setup. but i think we should embrace. and i have to say it's not all small scale patterns. south of the freeway, there are huge lots. that are in fact have always been huge lots. and so -- and we do have that challenge of if we are going to accommodate any kind of reasonable growth in the city, we are going to have to grapple with this issue that in some of these places, large lots are inevitable. and i -- and we are -- i completely agree that the issue of lot aggregation is an issue. and i don't disagree that we should try to figure out a way, and we are -- we are taking small steps in that. but i also think that we have to figure out a way to deal with large footprint development. it's going to happen without us if we don't figure out a way to do it. and anyway, again, he would be great to have a dialogue somehow in

of the ballot measure, but i believe i heard a figure of $13 million is the part that would have to come out of the gross receipts. at least i guess that is the initial figure. is that a figure that would grow as time went on? >> that is correct. it is not linked to the housing trust fund, the gross receipts tax measure. the general fund revenues at the discretion of the board through the budgetary process, but for the purposes of our sizing of the housing trust fund, we use a figure of $13 million in year one that would be revenue generated from the gross receipts tax. >> -- commissioner antonini: ok. we do not need to do this today, but i think you had a very good presentation. i think it might have been instructive if we could in the future of the public or anyone what those figures are in today's dollars. i know it varies between whether there is one person, two persons -- the number of persons in the household, but it would be good to do that. >> to that point, i think that is agreed recommendation. a nice shorthand would be for a family of four, the income amount roughly corre

japanese companies are a part of the program as well. investing in scholarships and run internship programs. the program helps students find jobs at japanese companies. the program also aims to educate asian students to become the best in their field. waris has been focusing his research on chemical plants. he was offered a position at the largest construction equipment manufacturing company in japan and will start working there next spring. >> translator: raising asian talents here in japan will bring us benefits. they understand japanese well and will be our best supporters and help us in the business world. >> reporter: waris lives with two chinese roommates who are also studying in the same progr program. like waris, the chinese students say they were attracted to japan's advanced manufacturing technology. >> translator: i think what's expected of me is to come up with ideas japanese people cannot come up with. if i can do this, i'm sure i can make a great contribution. >> reporter: it's been five years since the program's launch and

he would say, son, you're either part of the problem or part of the solution. well, regrettably, president obama has become part of the problem and mitt romney is the solution. the other thing my dad would always say is that every generation of americans leaves their children better off. that's the american legacy. sadly for the first time in our history, we are on a path which will undo that legacy. that is why we need new leadership to become part of the solution, new leadership to restore prosperity, economic growth and jobs. it is our duty to save the american dream for our children and theirs. i believe -- i believe there is no person in america who is better prepared because of his experience, because of the principles he holds, and because of his achievements in excellence in so many different arenas to lead america at this point in our history. [ applause ] let me say a word about the man mitt romney is about to replace. no one disputes that president obama inherited a difficult situation. and in his first two years, with his party in complete control o

he had several wives which was part of the culture. when he moved from the area near where she grew up, and moved back to another homestead of the obama clan, around the bay of lake victoria, she had had enough. he had a new younger wife with him then so she ran away. she left the family when barack obama, the president's father, who was also named barack brachn obama. >> host: his parents died in 2006. did president obama ever meet them? >> guest: no. he never met his grandparents. he not there in the 1980s after his grandfather died. he only met -- aside from the very, very early days of his birth, opposite in his life, but he didn't get back to kenya until both of his grandparents were gone, and he lived with his white grandparents so it was a dramatic difference in that part of the story. >> for barack obama the story, how many interviews did you do over the course of the last four years? >> guest: i would say that almost 400. and i had a wonderful assistant, gabrielle banks, who helped with later interviews and specific parts of t

a big part of it will take part on the floor. go through the roll-call vote where each state will nominate mitt romney for president and paul ryan for vice president. that is 9 formal part. ann romney and then chris christie. he was mobbed supporters and cameras as he got a lay of the land to figure out what this venue is going to be like. he's expected to rip up the crowd. he is generally pretty good at whipping up crowds. we will hear from him and tomorrow we will hear from vice presidential nominee paul ryan. he was there for a big sendoff rally. >> this is not an ordinary election because it's not an ordinary time. we have a big choice to make. we are not just picking the next president for a few years. we are picking the pathway for america for a generation speaki. >> speaking of pathway, which pathway will isaac take? mitt romney was asked about hurricane isaac. >> i hope that they are spared naming destruction. >> that is the sentiment shared by everyone. it is certainly possible. we could see additional changes in the con

part of what i have heard is that in regards to the first responders, that the downpayment assistance would not be limited to those who are below the 120th percentile. i am not sure if that is -- >> that is correct. i am glad you brought that up. >-commissioner antonini: looking at the numbers, particularly if you had two members of a household, they would almost be by definition over the threshold. then a great question. supervisor -- >> great question. supervisor farrell offered an amendment. the programs are defined broadly in the housing trust fund as limited to households to make up to 120% ami, but includes the provision of a and first responders, and defines those as emergency personnel -- provision of "and first responders." >> there is an understanding that as the ami increases, the subsidy becomes less. you can ask more units produced at a higher ami level, which makes sense. >> exactly. tension is that the obligation would remain consistent, even as the percentages are diminishing. commissioner antonini: in terms of funding, i understand the sources of funds, but the one pa

or even another part of the same problem. i think it's all part and parcel i mean you know one of the things i saw in washington repeatedly was how much the treasury officials i was dealing with as well as officials of the federal reserve so it down a fide with the interests of the banks themselves so you know when we were pushing for different types of oversight provisions or conditions where we would identify ok here's a conflict of interest that might be a real problem here is an area of fraud that you really need to be concerned about a response was was really a roll of the eyes pat it had on the head and say like look you don't understand these are banks they would never do this they would never put their profit over over that of of you know that are of the public interest they would never and the quote was risk their reputation which is really an alan greenspan ian concept that we don't need to protect the market from fraud because the banks will just behave and you know i think you see that same attitude when you see w

or which part of the past to trust? because as you say history is story telling and we all tend to reach for the facts that confirm our story, confirm our narrative, our interpretation of the past. how do we learn to trust which part of the past? >> professional histor yns will be the first to admit that history is about interpretation and taking a fragmentary effort and making an argument. it is very little different from what lawyers try to do when they try to argue the merit of a case. >> when you hear somebody invoke thomas jefferson what image comes to mind? >> i think of jefferson's ideas that gave birth to this republic with a whole lot of contradiction. in that regard i don't think of thomas jefferson as exceptional. the fundamental conundrum developed in spite of thomas jefferson's ideas about independence was that resolved that slavery would exist after the revolution. >> i asked that question because it raises the argument, the story whether this reflected their hypocrisy or their humanity and therefore is an

this is part of a continuum, and so this is part of a change to advantage.i will be not answering a question, but answering the question with questions. this will balance the difference between architecture and the character of the neighborhood. rather than asking how the project looks, which ask how this performance. how this contributes to urban identity and legibility. how does this add up to being more than two, and contribute to the street, the neighborhood, and the city. i suggested a very quick and lovely, fun way, to evaluate projects that are not on the individual basis but also based on the context. last, how this change serve as the opportunity to build an urban heritage. one that is rooted in the past and stable with the future? thank you. i would be delighted to ask for any questions, or to open this up to discussion in either direction. >> commissioners? >> first, we will take public comments. and other in the members of the public who wish to comment on the presentation? seeing ninone, antonini? commissioner antonini: we have form following fu

the church, which is part of the tort normally reserved for the clergy -- part of the church normally reserved for the clergy, the part of that is normally reserved for reading this scripture or for giving sermons, and they, together with their accomplices, removed the other -- the upper part of their clothing, revealing the and appropriate clothing underneath it and, right in front of the altered doors, they revealed the clothing underneath that was brightly colored and showed the marks and appropriately. the masks were also considered inappropriate for a church. looking like this, standing in the holiest -- in a holy building, they carried out their criminal acts together with their accomplices who had an electrical guitar and they tried to play electric guitar, ring bells, and, at the same time, the front part of the altar, switched on a recording of a song, while holding a microphone, playing such music in a church is considered an act that is in amicable to everything the church stands for. and they had invited the media and representatives of the written press to photograph, to

the other part is there are certain parts of the world we just can't get much information out of bed with the social media we are getting it. i don't know if you saw the documentary about the burmese delude journalist capturing all of the oppression that he and others were facing on his video and applauding it on to the internet and then made a movie out of that and iran when doug green revolution was attempted and there were beatings people captured and included it on the internet, so there is an open window here because of the internet and the social media but then you've got the other side which is the misinformation that's getting on their own, and it's not getting vetted a perfectible data or the framing and some of it can be deficience come of it use getting sent around that what happened? we saw this in the u.s. and other places. how are we going to deal with all of this? the other thing i am hoping will occur more is the result of the new media from the cross border collaboration so people can actually learn from each other when they can't afford to fly over there or there wo

that's in part why you had this firestorm. there are a lot of dirty hands in this, and it goes above and beyond the atf. there's some fundamentally flawed actions here. but you can't ignore the senior people at the department of justice. peoplehat were signing off, for instance, on wiretaps and other types of things. they clearly had to know or should have known this was happening. >> your report does, though, seem to support at least part of that fortune article. that the atf were hamstrung by prosecutors. in arizona. >> hey, look everybody wanted to go get the drug cartels. the problem is, they put this ridiculous plan together. something was fundamentally flawed from the beginning. just look at it on the surface. we knowingly gave the drug cartels nearly 2,000 weapons. mostly a.k. 47s. there didn't seem to be an adult in the room that said, do we really do that? maybe this is a bad idea. it's just stunning this is continued to allow to go on for so long with so many weapon, anderson, that's what's so concerning. >> represen

it can be part of one motion. if you decide not to uphold the coastal zone permit, you do not need to take action on the ceqa findings. my recommendation is to make it part of one motion but you are free to do it either way. vice president fung: let's do it that way based on the director's recommendation. >> we now need a motion. >> if there is any deliberation , otherwise, a motion is in order. >> i have some comments on the second part which deals with the coastal permit. i have the following to say there. the general plan by nature are a very general. and from the discussions that have occurred not only in previous hearings, but also today, general plan to have a little bit of something for everybody. -- general plans have a little bit of something for everybody. the crucial portion as far as my thinking is relates to the and it was brought up by one of the appellants, the description of what is naturalistic in that particular policy. on a personal note, i find there are some elements of this project that i am

your life part. when does that start, exactly? something else, i look into the mirror and someone says what are you doing here? you have no right to live. >> why did you become a reporter in the first place? >> it was stamped in my dna. i was so lucky, cynthia. earlier we were talking about our shared mexican history. in my house, first of all i came from a house in san antonio, south texas of big opinions. my father was a kind of district attorney without portfolio. other jewish fathers play golf. >> this is a jewish district attorney. >> originally from mexico. his whole passion in life is corruption. the family own add discount store. that wasn't where his heart would you say. he was running this family business and his heart was exposing theing bad guy. for a reporter it became the most fantastic training ground. at dinner my father would talk non stop, the mayor is a crook, the senator is a crook, i am going to get that guy. he would have campaigns, whistle blowers, he had stocking bag stuffers.

the jet crashed in the eastern part of the country. [ gunfire ] an opposition member says they shot down the plane using weapons taken from the syrian army. state-run media said the jet crashed due to technical problems. rebels in the free syrian army are launching attacks using tanks and machine guns snatched from their opponents. the insurgents raided a military depot on monday in the southern city of daraa. government forces are using fighter jets to support troops attacking cities including the commercial capital aleppo. tens of thousands of aleppo residents are fleeing the attacks and heading toward turkey. they are living in shelters and hoping to cross the border.

his polish part of the trip was really the best part. it was a tremendous. >> will he swing over any latino voters? >> i don't know it goes with. >> he is going to lose latino vote somewhere between 60 and 70%. >> what is the role of the catholic voter in this election? >> first of all it is going to do all pat said it is going to do, if it is, mitt ought to make weekly trips back. >> what's wrong with that? >> nothing, maybe it is a good idea. >> are you knocking the catholic vote? >> the president has about a ten point edge over romney with u.s. catholics. and to the extent there is a catholic vote, it is a cafeteria catholic vote. and i think if romney was counting on the controversy over contraception to open up a wedge issue for him to win votes, i think being woman trumps being a catholic, frankly. i mean i think this is, this is such a minor event. >> really? >> that it is barely worth registering. >> really? what do you think? >> i hate to say it will help at the margins with polish americans, but you have the biggest population

contradiction is part of the human experience. we wrestle with it every single day, whether we admit it or not. thomas jefferson and half of the other slave holders who were presidents all lived daily contra dixes. they could literall look out theirindo and see in the land of the brave and the home of the free and so on and so forth. but the fact of the matter is they had a great responsibility for building what would become american democracy. and in that regard they failed miserably. >> it took me a long time, long past college and even graduate school to figure out that eight of the first ten of our president presidents were enriched by their own land or slaves. you ver were taught that they actuly create add government, a constitution designed to protect further acquisition of property for the privileged classes. that just didn't get discussed. >> well, it's also the difference between an individual living in contradiction in terms of enslaving another as a proponent of freedom, and the ways in which those same individuals hel
