the years, so -- to bus lines, like along the outer richmond district area that have led many seniors without a bus route to get up the hill or to get down the hill to go either grocery shopping -- so we are looking at how the system might not be closely enough based on the needs of people like, especially seniors, or disabled people. there's also some bustlines that are less used in the richmond district that we are now working with the muni system to think about continuing but maybe reduce its frequency, but continue its access for many people that live in isolated parts of the city. i strongly support stronger youth discount passes and supporting the bus system so that younger people have strong access. we are trying to work with the school district right now and city agencies to ensure that young people get more support. we want them to be lifelong transit riders as well, so we are trying to look at different issues of transit equity for younger people in our population as well. >> what is happening with crime in your district, and how do you think our police department is doing? supervisor mar: we are extremely lucky to have a great police captain with great officers wit

shop. it all looked so good on paper. >> we didn't know what the hell we were doing. >> truth is, they had no clue how much it would cost to open the first shop. they gathered some spare cash, took out a family loan, and a credit card owned by robin's mother-in-law, which they promptly overextended. >> it's laughable now. we originally talked about $5,000, and then we thought maybe even $7,000 or $10,000. and so we ended up spending about $30,000 to open the first restaurant. >> the sandwiches? >> welcome to firehouse. >> welcome to firehouse. >> well, the brothers dream up the combos firehouse is known for. >> mmm! mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm! >> turkey, meatballs, pastrami -- always piled high, plus dozens of hot sauces. >> we were having the best time of our entire life. i don't think we were smart enough to probably realize what a risk we were, the fact that we opened the first week and we had like $80 left in our checking account. >> once they got cooking, it took discipline to reinvest and grow the business. >> they used to call me "dr. no" back then. i'd be like, "no. no." >> stephen joo

schools and shooting young kids, a demented shooter could still go to a shopping mall, a movie theatre or playground or down the street. so really stopping the problem if you just harden one target? >> well, you are protecting children and that is a huge objective in life. certainly, whether you are a shopping mall -- and they already are having off-duty police officers protecting shopping malls, should we not provide and have the greatest responsibility for protecting our children as they go to school for education? so, to me it is a common-sense approach that is really happening, whether the federal government gets engaged or not. every school district in america is looking at ways to better protect the students at school, just like the private sector from shopping malls to movie theatres are considering the same thing. >> chris: let's talk about the broader ideas that the obama administration is pushing. the nra opposes the president's plan to expand background checks. but, since that went into effect, in 1994, 1.9 million gun sales have been blocked because the person trying to make the sales showed up on a record as

so we comprise a large block of homes. we view sloat boulevard as one of the neighborhood streets for us. there are three major schools right off of sloat. there is a major park. there's a shopping center there so it's a heavy traveled area, not just for people transiting through the area but for people living there. i am currently the president of the organization, and we're very concerned about safety. 20 years ago with the help of senator cobb at the time we were able to have caltrans look at the area. the traffic engineer said at the time there is nothing wrong with this. now take a look. slope boulevard is one stretch in san francisco that is a mile long with no stop light or controls of any kind. even brotherhood way has lights now. they didn't before. sloat is a speed way period. and tragedyically a lot of the focus is because of the young lady that was killed a few months ago and it was an unnecessary death and what is going on sloat is unnecessary. caltrans came in in 2011-2012 to repave or restripe sloat boulevard thinking this would calm things down. by their own admission, their own statistics show that the traffic pattern has been slowed by 2 miles per hour on avera

shops in amsterdam you would be able to buy 5 grams. they have an official policy of not enforcing the law against small transactions so you think about it being legal in the front door of a coffee shop. but it's still illegal to produce and to sell the marijuana to those coffee shops so it's actually illegal. so what that does is it in place the price. so where was passed in washington and colorado it would allow for-profit companies to come produce and it's very different. it's just very different from other terms that gets thrown around like decriminalization. a lot of people use legalization and decriminalization interchangeably in that's incorrect. that just means lowering the penalties for possession, taking it from being a misdemeanor to a citation. when people talk about decriminalization that has nothing to do with production and distribution. that is why legalization and what happened in colorado and washington is so significant. >> host: what does it cost government, the federal government to having marijuana be illegal, enforcement and incarceration? >> guest: that's a great question. i don't know what it is for the federal g

the neighbors have a right to define their neighborhoods and we do that with coffee shops, retail, restaurants. so i don't think we can discount the neighborhood wanting to help define what their neighborhood looks like in what it feels like. so i'm supportive, i think 500 feet in kind of banning them within 500 feet is somewhat clun key. where we have a hearing where it being clustered. maybe you increase that 500 feet to a thousand feet. but having this process. i think it's sound policy. can m cd's be allowed on the second floor? >> excellent question. i don't think they are allowed. it should be in the packet. i don't think there is a great excuse for only ground floor. if there is accessibility to a second floor. if they need the other code requirements much like a doctors office or dental office. second floor space is appropriate for them. they are not classic retail. it's more medical oriented and that's where we tend to have medical uses. so again, i'm sicht of some control that would look at clustering for 500 or thousand foot radius. and i would leak to see if we can encourage of them lo
