let them intertwine because you are asking for problems. >> a surprise contraband raid turns one housing unit upside down. >> inmates are very crafty, and there are thousands of places where narcotics can be hidden within the units. >> anyone accused of a crime in san antonio will most likely pass through the bexar county jail. >> got to spread out on the wall right here. remove your shoes and socks and put them on the floor behind you. >> some will make bond and leave, but on any given day, about 3,500 men and women are housed here awaiting trial or resolution of their cases. deciding in which of jail's 84 housing units to place each inmate is a complex process known as classification. >> every inmate that comes into our facility is interviewed by a classification officer. so our class officer are trained to try to figure out where do we house this person where we will have the least amount of problems. so they're looking for things like is he mentally ill? does he have any medical issues? >> any problem with seizures? >> no, ma'am. >> suicidal? >> no, ma'am. >> gang related? >> no, ma'am. >

because what i see with the numbers, 33,000 more jobs, 8300 housing units, doesn't seem to address myuestion which is how do we rebalance our housing stock versus our job creation? so i don't know who could answer that, but -- >> i'm happy to take a stab and then planning department can come up and kind of talk about the larger picture. so, when this plan was originally studied, now almost ten years ago, in fact one of the first briefings i got from the planning department when i started in 2011 was the central soma area plan. it was really conceived of as up-zoning area for office and commercial, because this is the part of the city that we can build large scale commercial and offices. and it's really not possible to do this anywhere else in the city. now over the last eight years, i think it would have been hard to conceive them the immense housing crisis that would approach us that we're all thinking about today. a couple of things, restriction, the eir studied a number of housing units in the central soma plan. for us to dramatically change the housing units that could be built wi

and 8,000 units of housing. that growth will be leveraged with $2.2 billion public benefit package, to create an inclusive neighborhood. it will fund many needs, walkable, bikable streets, social services, and half of the public benefit package is for affordable housing, which is the first time we've been able to say that within one of our plan areas, i think. the process has in earnest been seven years. in addition to the smaller community meetings, there's been 10 open houses and other events and, of course, dozens of meetings with neighborhood groups. we do believe, and i know there's been a lot of discussion in the last couple of years, the city's economy has changed dramatically in the time we've been doing this plan. as i walked over here today, i thought about the fact that we approved, you approved, six years ago this month, transit center plan. when you approved that plan and what would be the sales force power, there was serious concern that it would never be built because no one would lease that much

. >> gang members disrupt the housing unit. >> they all feed off each other. one kicks in the door and they all join in and start screaming. >> when inmates fled their cells, the search team takes action. >> you must comply. >> and they place one in special restraints. >> [ bleep ] drop you first [ bleep ]. >> [ bleep ]. >> i told them in the hallway i could feel an attack was coming on. i feel like i'm going to hurt somebody. >> a female inmate poses a dangerous threat to staff. >> she took a swing at me, scratched my face and it was on. >> she's like, uh-huh, uh-huh. >> we went toe-to-toe. >> bam. >> when somebody disrespects me or something, we're going to take care of business. >> already facing 16 charges, a gang member picks up five more inside the jail. >> you know, everybody thinks that this job that we have is such a gravy job and such an easy job, i challenge anybody to come in here and work this job for a week and see if we're overpaid. >> from the alamo to its famous riverwalk, san antonio is one of the most popular tourist destinations in texas. b

housing production. especially affordable units. we heard we should streamline the production process and the review process as much as possible. and that we should protect and produce affordable housing early on in the plan through aggressive site acquisition. in response, we've made changes to the plan. we have modified the zoning to add 20% more units up to the maximum allowed in the e.i.r. of 8300 and we have explored room on top of that as will be discussed later. we have developed the housing sustainability district to streamline housing production. we've worked with some of the key sites that are planning to dedicate land for affordable housing and we are working with to develop a strategy to accelerate affordable housing acquisition and development. amy chan is here if you have any questions about that. the next set of feedback we heard was related to the public benefits package. the request were at follows. affordable housing was already mentioned. provide funding for social and cultural programming. plan for future capitol

of housing will be developed with 32% of those below market rate units. this will be done through a combination of hope sf housing like alice griffith, 100% of affordable housing, and then a mix of market rate and conclusionary housing. all of this will be delivered. the project is also providing community benefits across multiple sectors and includes financial contributions for health and wellness, education, and other programs, realistic contributions, workforce and economic development programs. i should also note that as of today, phases one through three of the alice griffith program have been completed and are currently occupied. next, here's a visual to show you how the project was contemplated back in 2010. on the left side is the stadium plan. you can see how the stadium took up the bulk of the southern portion of the site, and then, there 's a commercia framing it, with residential development, the yellow, mainly in the north. the nonstadium really just fills in where the stadium was with mainly low to middensity housing along with more commercia

unit? >> i would have to follow up with you on that. we do permanent affordable housing which is studio type units. it could be 350 square feet. family projects often have 30% three bedrooms. you're looking at the 1100 square foot units. i don't have a portfolio average unit size. we do have a range. some of our family sites because of site configurations will have more studios. it depends on the site. i can follow up with you on that. i don't have a average per square foot per unit. >> director lai: that's important. if you're saying per unit which could be studio or three bedroom it's a large site. i would be curious to find out what the dollar per square foot cost for construction. i know that in the private sector. costs are up. to acquire lots cost lot of money. i would really be curious if you can come back to us with a number as to what that is. we're looking at modular housing to bring down the cost per square foot. once i know that number, i would like to know why that number is that way and what efficiencies can be done in the process to bring that number down?

so it's shared by city departments and now public housing units. that is a different program that fiber f.s. which would deliver 1 gig service to all residents and businesses in san francisco. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you for clarifying that and making that distinction. do we have any additional proposals on how we might bridge that digital divide? >> i think this is what we really need to understand and the revenue structures and to talk with our qualified vendors and is incredibly important. verizon is going to be coming in to talk to us. and you would find that many large cities are partnering in unique way ways with their pe and industry providers to share the cost and that is important to the city. and cellular service is changing. and changing right now. putting this infrastructure in place is really preparing us for what's coming in the next five to 10 years. it is significant. it is significant. >> supervisor cohen: you're yee? >> supervisor yee: i have a question for b.l.a. in regards to the recommended savings, one-time savin

preservation of existing housing may be even more important than meeting a goal of 5,000 units a year in a city and nation in a world that has the extreme income inequality that we're living through. existing housing is affordable housing. let's have a bureaucracy that works to preserve the housing we have and then reach for loftier goals." i didn't want to use bureaucracy as a perjorative in there. last sunday in the real estate, two residences remodeled to one smart home in pac heights, but $6.45 million. the thing that was interesting to me was the plan in the packet called a laundry room, but in the marketing, an office. so, you know, i don't know how you deal with that. and then glen park, something that you had in september '16, approved for a demo, but three neighbors filed a d.r. that just hit the market in april in glen park, rh-1. they were asking $7.7. they got $7.4 million. so that's kind of why i wrote that letter. i'm glad -- i thank the "the chronicle" and ms. cooper for printing it. just to show you on the overhead, that's the rear of that $7.4 million house in glen pa

authorization of these six contracts would provide $43.4 million for 172 supportive housing units over a period of 15 years, or average of $16,825 per unit per year. in conclusion all of the existing supportive housing developments among these projects are effective in valued units within the supportive housing portfolio. as outlined in the bla report, there may be a future opportunity for projects to apply for federal based voucher subsidies if it's issued by the san francisco housing authority. we're in agreement with the bla recommendations in their report. i am happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor kim: thank you. and before we go to the budget legislative analyst, i did have a few questions on these items. so, i know that we lost the federal continuum of care grant, or it was not renewed by hud and the explanation was that because the cost of housing is so much more that they reduced the number of units they renewed. is the overall contract with hud the same amount? but with less units? or i just want -- >> so, structurally, the amount we've been getting from hud through th

we currently have over 1,100 units of affordable housing in predevelopment, all 100% affordable, and some of these units will provide supportive housing for homeless families and individuals. we need to be all hands on deck on producing more housing, but it's just as important that we do so cost effectively. we think it's terrific what puc is doing. we're encountering difficulties in connecting power to our affordable housing projects. as you were made aware today, the primary equipment that's being required can take up to 800 square feet. this equipment is estimated to cost over $500,000 and is so large that we are looking at getting rid of leasable commercial space in several of our projects. the budgets of our projects are really tight. every delay and cost makes a big difference. it's upsetting that this equipment is being required when there's no engineering or operational reason for it being required. essentially, our affordable housing projects are being expected to install and pay for power substations within the building to accommodate the switch which is far more than these

development project on 35 acres of land that will result in between 1,600 and 3,000 residential housing units, including 30% affordable units. between one and two million square feet of industrial and 500,000 retail along with 9 acres of open space. so it's a brand-new neighborhood in an area of the waterfront that's been closed off for a century. many public benefits of the project, some of which the i.f.d. and irfd proceeds will help fund -- affordable housing, sea level rise protection, historic rehabilitation, new parks, and an arts building. all in all, we expect $260 million worth of public improvements at the site, streets, utility, infrastructure and parks. the i.f.d. is available under state law, both local and state share property tax growth. this works a rot like former redevelopment law, where we're able to project the growth in property tax collected and issue bonds to -- >> president cohen: just for the folks at home or in the chamber that are wondering, what is the difference between i.f.d., infrastructure financing district, versus an irfd, which is infrastructure revitalizati

areas to bedouins so this is a way to push him out of here but israel has meanwhile approved more housing units in nearby jewish settlements human rights groups say that moving the bedouin population against their will amounts to forcible transfer contrary to international law. could totally reject the allegation that this is a transfer of people in the occupied territory. the fact that the territory is disputed that the status of this territory is not clear does not mean that people are allowed to settle with ever they want in a legal way to school financed with european funds will also be demolished during the summer it's open for children to play it's the only nearby school for most of them especially the girls of the bedouin communities scattered around the area. the residents will be relocated to a different site most villagers have already said they won't accept being forcibly resettled to a new location. you're watching d.w. news still to come new hopes for the european car industry as washington suggests a potential compromise in the transatlantic tariff dispute even chancellor merkel s

project status, section or 15 of the planning code does not require the provision of affordable housing in a four unit housing project. in an attempt to address this concern, the sponsor proposed to facilitate participation in the down payment assistance loan program for the two bedroom unit and providing cash assistance for people participating in a program to facilitate the purchase of the unit at fair market value. this option is proposed through a private agreement. the project sponsor will discuss their plans for the program during the presentation. in summary, as a project provides similar housing, it is fully compliant with the planning code with no request of balances. this concludes my presentation. >> president hillis: thank you. project sponsor? >> good evening commissioners, you know, this is my first project in the mission and my first project of this size and scale and i will be the first to admit, i came into it a bit naÏvely about the community impact the development was having. and, you know, i am a local guy raising kids in the cities and offices in the mission. and i do think i have

oakland. >> you just need to look out at our skyline to see we are building a record number of housing units right now. >> reporter: many of these projects are mixed income housing, some are low-income. >> the only way we're going to stop the loss of residets in oakland is build a lot of housing units. burni burning it down when we are trying to build up won't help that. >> reporter: at this moment, there are 6,650 units under construction in oakland. as you can see behind me, construction in front of me and also construction. lyanne melendez, abc7 news. thank you. >>> kent mather says they expect to open in time for a new session this sunday. they had to close after a come mack virus at camp mather. it decided it decided to close to sanitize the camp and keep the virus from spreading. campers who were supposed to be there this week will get a full refund. >>> good camping weather? the heat? >> i would say bring the fog back. good camping weather. if you like it clear to mild, i guess you call that good camping weather. here's a look at live doppler 7. sunny skies cover the entire area coast

with these units, san francisco will have more than 7,900 permanent supportive housing units in the city of san francisco, the most percapita of any city in our entire country. along with our new units, i will be investing $1.5 million additional funds to support additional housing 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

units, which is what the base zoning allowed. we asked them to explore a home-sf option that provided more housing and they developed a scheme with 121 units of which 36 would have been affordable. in the end, the project didn't need the extra two stories. they needed the extra density. it was entitled through an s.e.d. that gave it just that, density control and no height and it was 23% on-site affordability. so home-sf 2.0, we dubbed it, is to make it available for more people to use it. it seeks to offer greater certainty in the approval process, including by offering 100% affordable housing bonus projects and administrative approval. so here's the proposed changes. currently, home-sf is required for conditional use. they seek entitlement through a modified conditional use in section 328 of the planning code. so this entitlement would be similar to a large project authorization like you see in eastern neighborhoods. it would allow it to grant needed modifications. currently, conditional uses are appealable to the board of supervisors. so section 328 as proposed, it would be appealable to the board of appeals. so currently, we

states since the great recession, we only built 5 million housing unitse. we need to build more. that's not easy. in we don't, prices will continue to rise and people will not be able to afford homes. we already see that in some markets. san francisco is a classic market most people in san francisco cannot afford to buy the homes for sales. >> builders say they cannot build the affordable homes now because of the price for land, tariffs, canadian lumber, steel tariffs, aluminum tariffs, they claim all they can build is the move up and the luxury home. where do you get that entry level housing stock? >> that's a huge challenge the fixed costs going into homes are quite expensive. the higher production costs are there, too the home construction industry is on the verge of a potential increase we always built homes the same way. many larger home builders are look into modular, manufactured portions to reduce costs and help to make the micks work at the lower price points >> are they going to improve >> i hope so >> 88 million people at some point. >> once so

's said new construction, we should allow an a.d.u. in new construction. we could get two more units on this. i know they preclosed where there was an existing housing and being able to add an a.d.u. to its. if that legislation is amended, i think we made a mistake, and unfortunately i was opposed to it. not to have an a.d.u. in new construction. i think we should have encouraged. that is two more units. >> one of the things that the staff did ask us to look at is the possibility of a future a.d.u. in each of the buildings. it would add two units to the project and we did a feasibility study and that can be done in the project sponsor has been committed to do that for this project. >> president hillis: you would have to convert -- you would have to build nonlivable space and then kind of twisted a bit. >> correct. we were in discussions with the staff and we were close to finalizing an alternative design where we would take the space behind t
