the house survived all those years, just sort of the house, like the house of a banker in an americancity somewhere. in 1902, president theodore roosevelt, looking for a new image, mckinley was assassinated. this young man came to office, a young and vigorous man, living publicity and loving to be around. he ordered the house restored. it wasn't really restored. but the stone walls were not harmed. there was a lot of damage to the basement. basement to the vaulting which was beautiful. it was repaired. 50 years later, president harry truman and the secret service faced the problem of danger, the floors squeaked, and the architect in the enlargement of the state dining room in 1902 used tire rods -- a enlarged the room, and he used them to screw the ceiling into the wooden timbers of the attic. in 1925, the attic was torn off and replaced and not much attention was given to that. so the ceiling sank. i took -- i talked to an engineer, and he said the east room ceiling had dropped in the middle almost 30 inches and the dining room more. it could have fallen at any time. they were faced

white house visit. the first time i got to the white house was when i was working as an advisor for dav cameron. guess for golfers, it is winning an open championship, for actors, it is appearing on broadway, but for diplomats, it is walking across the threshold into the white house and even more into the oval office. you feel if you do that, you can die happy. anyway, the british prime minister who i suspect would approve this, who spent the most time in the white house was i think winston churchill, because in 1941, he pd a 24 day visit to the white house. it is impossible and modern diplomacy to imagine a 24 day visit anywhere. a 24-hour visit is hard enough. indeed, churchill thought of the white house as a second home. here as a bigive family in the greatest intimacy and informality, and i have formed the highest regard and admiration for the president." looking carefully at the record, i am not sure every element of that was entirely reciprocated. [laughter] >> i imagine you have heard the story o

from everything that happened recently from puerto rico to mexico this house this type of house is very good because it's resistant to hurricanes and as well as quakes also if we think of california on the wildfires that they have because you have the. the tires are protected it's all covered with a berm this house could also protect you know from fires in the future. so here's a simple survival it's the first one that we've built ever and since then we have built several all over the world. come on in you're welcome. so these houses are called simple survivals because the systems themselves and also the way that they can be built should be easy for anyone in the world with a set of plans and basic training to be able to build the systems themselves are sustainable the same as in all other us ships but they're very basic and they have a lower cost in terms of disaster relief the electrical system in this house is also very good for traveling because this is our storage system which consists of a car battery and then it has different fuses which can be found anywhere in the world and als

you know you need to take care of your house for your house to take care of you properly house to take care of you properly. we just close. with just close the skylights which are bases the skylights which are basically the hut during the day cleaning the hut during the day if vacuum i.q. weights three of these the sky lights and it's the sky lights and beacon because it's no night time we just want to hear this now nighttime we just want the heat at this time at this time to stay to stay inside inside the house to house them. every night every night which is close to just giving the first of the clues it's really close it's retaining the opening to retaining the open it really really. we we . use touch tires ayers. for they are they struck the structure of of the building with the building we call them. call them. radio radially reinforce in force ram morse rammed earth bricks and earth bricks is what this is what they really really are they are the tire the tires are radially reinforced with stairs are radially reinforced with steel feel for being for being tires but in tires but tha

at our permanent housing sites. this includes $15 million to continue our nav fact center pipeline, helping to secure the creation of four new facilities right here in our city, including the first one dedicated specifically to women and expectant mothers. these resource heavy centers are critical to breaking the cycle of homelessness, poverty and addiction on our streets. we will fund programs that support families, we will fund program that's support the youth that are homeless on our streets, and i will continue to support funding for operations that clear our streets of unsafe and unhealthy tent encampments. again, no one's life is getting better by sleeping in tents on our streets. we must also address the core roots of the issue of homelessness. we must offer help to those on our streets struggling with addiction, mental illness and other behavioral health challenges. last month, i announced the creation of a new street medicine street which will deliver opioid treatments directly to people living on our stree

san francisco is in a huge housing crisis and we desperately need more house, especially affordable housing. i think anything we can do to make 100% affordable housing projects go faster is going to be in the best interest of the city and in the best interest of those who can't afford to take time off of work and come and voice their support for this today. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. coalition for san francisco neighborhoods. we support the planning commission's recommendations and i want to point out that these were hammered out after a -- i believe it was a five-hour meeting and there were a lot of compromises involved. so i hope that you will incorporate them. in particular, we'd like you to keep noticing for the rear yard pop outs. as one member of the commission pointed out, he would not want to make up one more when the cement mixer pulls up at his next door neighbor's backyard and finds that the time that a two-story building is going up right next to his home. so this is something that is very important to people and they just need to be notifi

the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the house will come to order.

i'm from hospitality house. i want to thank you for this opportunity for public comment again today, and i thank you for your recommendations. i am asking for the 2.84 workforce development for the most vulnerable populations in the city. approximately 250 folks without homes were affected last year. i also ask for 300 continued subsidies for those who are in need to keep people housed and not on the streets. $250,000 for mental health services for single adults. than.thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. i was an immigrant and i live my life as a novelist. i'm part of the hospitality house program. i believe that art is healing and it really helped me as an addict. i see many homeless go to the studio and make art. i believe art is healing for everybody and helps us to discover our inner skill. it really helps. also, the sales of the artwork can go 100% -- it really helps everybody, especially in this community. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. again, focus everyone's -- i

and housed san franciscans. when we support individuals whole experience and homelessness, instead of criminalizing them, we strengthen our communities. by providing shelter housing and mental health civil service -- services, we will give people the foundation to escape route -- poverty. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. i'm an intern for the coalition of homelessness. homelessness among children has been found to have a negative impact on education. with half meetings state proficiency requirements and being sick four times as much as housed children. there is no full-service -- full-service shelter in the bay view. it has limited shower access and the one drop and is packed with primary african-american sleeping in the chairs. the providence shelters should be replaced with a full-service shelter. today we are asking for $14.9 million and -- out of an 11 billion-dollar budget. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. i am with coalition -- coalition of homelessness. one ye

house passed last month. mr. speaker, additional legislative items are possible in the house including two bills from natural resources, the strengthening fishing communities and increasing flexibility in fisheries act. the bill would re-authorize replace one size fits all regulations with an approach for vibrant species. the endangered fisheries prevention act. this bill will allow state and tribal authorities to respond more quickly to predators of the native samon population. the house is expected to consider legislation relating to border security and as soon as our schedule is finalized. i will inform our members and yield back. mr. hoyer: i thank the gentleman for the information. i note that the bill that was supposed to be on the floor either yesterday or today dling with daca and with the children who are an object of great concern by all the country is not mentioned in the gentleman's remarks for legislation to be considered next week. the daca bill that was supposed to be voted in the second immigr

because you housed 26. so when you house -- when they get housed, en, they get off the c.o.p. list, right? >> sometimes. >> oh, sometimes, because they get to use it twice. >> they get to use it twice. >> to rent and to buy. >> you know, a lot of it -- i just signed a bunch of certificates this morning, and a lot of it is siblings. like, like, one sibling who is in a house, and folks had kids, like, back in the day. there wasn't one or two kids, there was a lot of kids. so one -- one sibling gets a certificate, and then, the next thing you know, we're getting applications from all the other people that are in the household. so that -- that -- that that -- i think that speaks to the outreach. >> so these siblings, if they have kids, they get to apply, to? >> no, the siblings -- >> it stops there. >> it stops there. unless they were born at that time. >> okay. >> i signed one today for a four-year-old baby who's now 50 -- no, i guess he's not 50, but a grownup. >> i see, so that's why there's the increase because the c.o.p. holders now realize that their siblings, you know, thei

to the housing trust fund. the trust fund goes up by $2.8 million each year. in 1819, we'll be using that increase for our community partners. additional investment in new housing development and continuation of work on the online affordable housing portal. the budget in 18-19 has a reduction of one time $3.1 million in the current year due to the elimination of revenues sent over from dbi in the current year. the 18-19 budget also has some good news for the general fund in that there's a reduction of $5.3 million in los subsidy required. we've been able to move those units over to project based vouchers funded by the federal government instead of the city. the biggest change is this last item, one time appropriation of the downtown neighborhood's preservation fund. this was adopted by the board in 2016. this was a project commonly known as the ocean life center being built at 51st street. $40 million of dedicated revenue to affordable housing that has specific uses defined. and we're appropriating those funds

and the white house is not exactly perfect. there were certain unfortunate events in 1814 which i think were largely down to overenthusiasm. [laughter] is. darroch: so i think it extraordinarily generous of you to be holding an event which effectively celebrates u.k. links with that iconic building. [laughter] extraordinarily generous. we have all of the appropriate gratitude for the generosity of spirit. moving swiftly on from the events of 1814, i thought i might say a couple of words about british visitors to the white house. there have been hundreds of them, from her majesty the queen to the beatles, and every british prime minister looks forward to his or her first white house visit. the first time i myself went to the white house was when i worked as an advisor for david cameron. for golfers, i guess it is winning an open championship, for actors, it is appearing on the west end or broadway, but for diplomats, it is walking across the threshold into the white house and even more into the oval office. you feel as you do th

let's begin with cnn pamela brown at the white house. and just minutes ago, president trump wrapped up his alternate programming at the white house during which he boasted a larger turnout than anticipated. >> reporter: no surprise there. the president references thecro today. while there were a number of eagles fans, also a number of administration officials there as well. we're pointing that out. and it is clear the white house is trying to accuse the philadelphia eagles of a political stunt but it appears the president is engaged in a political stunt of his own by making this about an issue he knows will play well with his base. accusing the philadelphia eagles of orchestrating a, quote, political stunt, the white house super bowl champions into a culture w about patriotism. >> we love our country. we respect our flag. and we always proudly stand for the national anthem. we always will stand for the national anthem. >> reporter: t canceled the eagles victory event after learning the player turnout would be low. >> there were 80 member

fair housing. according to news reports, he has brought a halt to fair housing investigations and enforcement actions, even proposed taking the phrase, inclusive and sustainable communities, free from discrimination, out of hud's mission statement. so address these harmful actions, i have introduced the restoring for housing, protection, elimed by hud act of 2018. in respond to each action that second carson has taken to undermine fair housing. congress should not stand by while the agency charged with ensuring fair housing turns its back on the mission and takes actions that roll back critical protections that ensure that all americans have fair access to housing. so i thank the secretary for coming today and i look forward to hearing his testimony on these important issues. and as to the chairman's comments about civility, and about what he would do if he owned a restaurant, let me just say that i think every reasonable person has concluded that the president of the united states of america has h

let me be clear to the house. i think what he's trying to talk about is the backdoor arrangement we have agreed. let me be very clear what this is. this is an arrangement that will be put in place in the circumstances in which it is not possible to put the future new customs arrangement in place by the third of january 2021, and it is there to ensure that if that is, if those arrangements are not in place that we are able to continue on the basis that there is no hard border between ireland and northern ireland. we are working to make sure future custom arrangement deal with no hard border. we don't want to backstop to be necessary. we are working to ensure we can have future customs arrangement in place on the first of januar. >> mr. speaker not sure if this is a back stop for a back slide that she is talking about. >> last week i asked the prime minister, i said to bring the subject up again, it'srobabl quite painful, but when is the brexit paper going to be published? is it safe it would be published before the

unlike housing -- housing goes like this. office does -- it's not a constant upward trajectory. it does dip down more dramatically. we can bring you back some of that information, though it does not directly address your question. >> commissioner richards: it would be interesting. thank you. >> commissioner fong: i'm supportive of this and applaud the flexibility of a lot of people in this city and hope we do that in the future and make a motion to approve. >> president hillis: second. >> clerk: commissioners, there's a motion to approve. on that motion -- [roll call] so moved, commissioners. motion passes, 7-0. item 10, 2018-006910pca, home-sf and 100% affordable housing bonus programs, planning code amendment. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm paulo ikezoe, citywide commission. before you today, we have a piece of legislation we had embarked upon creating more family-sized units, with a very high requirement of 40% of the bedrooms need to be either 2 or more bedrooms. and so those are all great components of the legislation as well as additional support and notification fo

it is to preserve existing affordable housing and prevent the creation of new garages in new housing in order to preserve the existing affordable housing stock. so, you know, kind of designed around preserving the existing affordable housing, and just while i'm up here, if i may, commissioner fong's point, separate from the rationale about existing residence and converting to nonresidential use, the other goal which i hope came out in my original speech, identifying the possible sites for new development in the district and really prioritizing residential use for those new developments. it's not just about the conversion, but prioritizing that use for new development. >> president hillis: just, sorry, clarifying question. in the rh district, you can't get a c.u. for a hotel, can you? >> you can, but it's more like a bed and breakfast type use you can do. >> commissioner johnson: so, it is really interesting these two have, the last two items have been next to each other, just looking at one, how do you protect the character of a neighborhood and find a balance, and i think on this on

live to the house floor here on c-span. the speaker: the house will be in order. the prayer will be offered by our chaplain, father conroy. chaplain conroy: let us pray. we give you thanks for giving us another day and our creatures can come before you and ask for guidance for the men and women of the people's house. there are many issues facing congress. some are quite contentious. all are of importance to so many of our citizens and residents. bless each member with wisdom and insight into the implications of their legislative actions so that your spirit is at work in the business of the people's house. bless us this day and every day. may all that is done here be for your debater honor and glory, amen. the speaker: the chair has examined the journal of the last day's proceedings and announces to the house his approval thereof. pursuant to clause 1 of rule 1, thejournal stands approved. pledge of allegiance will be led by the gentlewoman from matsui. a, ms. ms. matsui: i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which

within neighborhoods and informs the housing process for new housing development. just to remind the commissioners here are three affordable housing projects cited in the mandates. the housing balance report gives context to these three different housing production goal. the housing mandated by the state to be updated periodically set as production goal of about 28,000 units built between 2015 and 2022 this is commonly called brina. 57% should be affordable to low and moderate income household. the planning departments submitted annual report on the city's progress in leading this goal to the state department of housing and community development. the department prepares a quarterly report to the planning commissioner. prop k passed by san francisco voters in 2017 set a goal of that 57% of new communities be affordable. the late mayor set a goal of -- affordable unit. i would like to add this has been more or less consistent in the last two decades or more. [ please stand by] >>> the net affordable housing stock totalled about 10,282 units. this net affordable housi

and housing is a basic human right. with this act, i ask for $14.8 million increase in funding for homeless families and i thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i work in the coalition of homelessness. today, came to speak on behalf of the group. today we are demanding $14.8 million for funding. services, families. we are asking for a 3.8 million for new subsidies. we are asking for replacing the family shelter. 1.9 million. 2.6 million in the bay view. so the only thing i want to share with you is you are spending $20 million in criminalizing homeless people. besides using this money to criminalize homelessness -- >> supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you. next speaker. [applause] hi. i'm from the st. anthony foundation. we don't run and the -- any of our programs that help provide food and shelter and clothing and basic needs with any city money. but we are part of a family in the city that is helping to make sure that our safety net cannot lift people up and help prevent poverty

to the extent that lower density housing, lower density older housing units respond to the specific housing need without requiring public subsidy and they should be preserved. it seems like that is tailor-made for a.d.u. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> you are welcome. >> good afternoon commissioners. quickly, after a two year struggle which subverted the wishes of the neighborhood and the planning commission and scott weiner calling your commission an advisory body, the newly appointed a uc chair finally passed her own s.f. legislation with no further input from your commission or the neighborhoods. but this has led to, what this has led to is what we see as the attempt to build cottages, more units, all over the city. everywhere you can put one pack we will put one. so, i think home s.f. so far has only attracted four projects in the last 1.5 years, and to these developers are lucky. they were coerced into adopting a home s.f. in fact, they even begged not to use the program the way it was meant to be used. so, i think what we have to look at carefully with this is the preapplicatio

the house will be in order. the house will be in order. members, take your conversations off the floor. the speaker pro tempore: members, take your conversations off the floor. and also clear the aisles. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition? mr. barletta: mr. speaker, i move to suspend the rules and pass h.r. 5294. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. e clerk: union calendar 583, h.r. 5 94, to address the impact of drug apuse in appalachia and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. barr leta, and the gentlewoman from from the virgin islands, ms. plaskett each will control 20 minutes. mr. barletta: i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to resize and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h.r. 5294 the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. barletta: i yield myself such time as i

housing. he has fault -- brought a halt to fair housing, and taken sustainable communities out of h.u.d.'s mission statement . to address these actions i have introduced legislation to restore the fair housing protections that secretary carson and the trump administration have eliminated. hr 6220, in restoring for housing, protections, in lynden -- eliminated by h.u.d. 2018. response to each act that secretary carson has taken to undermine fair housing. congress should not stand by while the agency charged with ensuring fair housing transit back on the commission, and takes action that rolls back critical protection, and ensure that all americans have fair access to housing. thank you, i look forward to hearing the testimony on these issues. as to the chairman's comments about stability, and about what he would do if he owned a restaurant, let me to say that i think every reasonable person has concluded that the president of the united states of america has advocated violence, he has been divi

let's start the white house north lawn tonight. what is the white house think about the events that have unfolded over the past several hours? >> good to see you. tonight president trump it's trying to frame this as a victory saying he can both be tough on illegal immigration while also showing a heart. but let's be clear about what really happened today, which is a he saw something very rare for this president. he gave in to political pressure in the short term in order to try to play the long game and try to get funding for the wall and other measures to crack on illegal immigration in the long term. it was just yesterday that the president dug in and said only congress can fix this and declared he would not back down because he charged illegal immigrants want to quote unquote invest the u.s. and democrats are letting him. the inclination is strong because of he looks weak, the border will be overrun. but he also wants to show compassion. he acknowledged house republicans last night and that urgent meeting after knowing the party

the house faces south west. huge windows capture the sun's rays and fill the living space with the light the office living room and dining room and here is that that was the south the door if it so that means we get sun flooding the valley even in winter no doubt lots of parts of iceland especially in the west are your odds don't see any sun for two months by morning but it's sunny here until the eleventh of december and then the sun comes back on the first of january but between those two days the sun is only there for thirty seconds. and we know winters in iceland are not only jocks they can also be harsh with strong winds and heavy snow. and then. these are photographs of the house completely snowed under focal length including the top windows i had to climb up two metres from the ground to dig them out to let light in and. given the often inhospitable climate the house is built from weather resistant material it's completely made out of concrete covered with launch of dolly minium and has a blanket of cross
