i like square cash i like square capital.iar to focus more on business there is a lot to like at square. >> guy. >> ubs initiated $81 price target yes expensive. but to karen's point this was a, sr. 100 item not it matters. it had a move to the townside. i'm with her i don't think this in and of itself is a big deal but giving them a entre into businesses i do think $60 you can own it. >> if you are td, schwab, any of the other -- e trade are you worried. >> they have different concerns we talked about them the last couple weeks with the issues with essentially zero cost commissions or no commissions. but the dynamic i think for those companies is about balance sheet retention. and where they get their online traders into loans and other services that i think are higher marj with regard to square, as karen pointed out, first of all square cash and the ability to have the stickiness of the flafrmt and cross selling is ray really part of the story there i think part of where we continue to see the guys surprise, the stock is on

they use numbers up to $200 square foot. what's the basis for that? >> i think i understand the basis for that. i mean i think it's not a complex methodology. they are looking at what are the types of jobs that are in offices or different types of land use. what level of income are the households those workers are in, what do they have. how do they slot in terms of low moderate very low income. what's the city's funding gap for a housing unit per household for that. and that's sort of the logic. for every job or every thousand square feet of space, you are going to have this many worker households in each income level to produce that level of housing units per thousand feet of jobs, this is the city's current funding gap. and the totals come from there. >> okay. what about the part about you had -- you did some samples and even without the increase some of these office developments were not feasible. and then you talk about that once market conditions improve, that there would be room for modest fee level increase? >> that was the eps study. that was

we dare not poison the public square. and restoring community from politics and culture for the constitution and patriotism and because of that moment i had in a very large public school i was privileged and afterwards there was a wonderful teacher who said to me in a going away fashio fashion, if you could add one thing to your classroom for what you have seen today what? and i said i would put a portrait in each classroom of washington and lincoln and have an american flag in every classroom. quite innocently she said why would you do that cracks and i thought to myself that should be in a book. restoring the constitution and sacrifice and finally the united states of america. last week there was one particular review and we are humbled by that. that reminds us of a program is your book a program? i was very clear to say that was not the goal. we hope that these 15 ideas are worthy and contribute to what we all seek we are very clear to say that these are ideas and real world possibilities but the united states of ameri

we currently have however many million. 70 million square feet of office. presumably none of that is going away. >> right. >> but we would have had 70.5 million next year. and we are projecting instead you'll have maybe 70.35. and each year going forward you'll have 125,000 to 140,000 square feet less than you otherwise would have. because on the margin, that share of the new projects would be rendered infeasible by the cost increase. >> got it. i am old and i am slow. but what you are saying is we are going to have new office but less of it. >> that's right. >> thank you. >> the other thing that would make it more complex and i'm not getting into it is this is an average number. of course, at the moment, we are ten years into a very strong economic cycle. there's a great deal of office demand. we are not projecting the business cycle. so this is a model that looked at over a long period of time, we are intending this to be a long term projection. we are not saying every year you should never expect more than 125,000 to 140,000. but that is a useful number

i'm a renter, not in this neighborhood but in the square. there are a lot of vacant storefronts in my neighborhood. i know the blight that is on the neighborhood so if i saw a new shop coming in, why would that be a problem? i see the problem firsthand about vacant storefronts and this is exciting to get more restaurants in. the person who spoke in favor of the dr said it's an issue that deserves our attention. i think he's wrong. a business, opening a business doesn't deserve a discretionary review. he said that he was supporting the dr because it's about what's best for the neighborhood. no, he is supporting the dr because it's what's best for geoexpress. it's not best for the neighborhood to protect legacy business owners over new business owners. we should allow businesses to open. whoever has the best falafel should win. it's not about all american boy. i'm assuming they're out of business. there's no proposal to bring them back. it's about whether gyro express is going to have business. i don't see why your time should be wasted over t

at least 400 square feet. and then not in these areas -- we're still evaluating it, which is any area required for a nursery operation, if we wanted to have that on the island and it wasn't incorporated into the urban farm area, but there is a potential partnership or leveraging of the urban farm, as we expect the maintenance arm will be located on the edge of the urban farm. and then satellite facilities and a potential y.b.i. annex, and locations for temporary storage of trash as it is collected from individual cans, before it is hauled back to the central location for processing. as well as small tools and other equipment that you wouldn't want to have to run back and forth to the main yard on a frequent basis. so as we go forward towards january, again, really focusing on producing the draft treasure island parks code, so we have initiate a public outreach and comment period before eventually taking that to the board of supervisors. the development of maintenance standards, you know, having that draft main

this is 4,000 square feet. as you can see from this picture , as it exists now, this is a picture taken from my bedroom window, and it exists now with significant privacy concerns. i'm sure that the proposed additions oh, further exacerbates privacy concerns so i am opposed to the proposal to expand with a roof deck and more windows. i think that is all the questions i have. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comment in support of the d.r. requester? come on up. >> come on up. >> this is your time. [reading names] >> thank you to the members of the plan commission. my name is joseph and my family has been at this location since 1962. it is still the family home and the house a grove been. unfortunately, are lies have been change for the worse a buildout of the 240 monstrosity. we have lost our privacy, sunlight, and our quality of life. from day one, of a conversation plan for the architect and developers has been geared towards maximizing profit without regard to the quality of life of the surrounding n

before this squares. all political parties all decision makers and evident to the demonstrators the the memories the bad 'd memories of stephen was still alive and conscious and subconscious so no one going to repeat this mistake again according to all these parties and demonstrators so all the. parties in the been trying their best to avoid this thing that saying that best they said that they're going to cheat the old they demand. this their right decision they are very. they didn't use the lights they didn't achieve it since 30 years since the civil war that years ago. all the bodies people asking for the thing demands electricity but he couldn't shoot it and so on good talking to you thank you for joining us. in beirut thank you. authorities in iraq to show restraint in the face of ongoing antti government protests saying it has multiple reports of security forces using excessive force demonstrations calling for an end to corruption and inequality erupted this month and at least $250.00 people have die

our suite is about 180 square feet and the town studio averages 127 square feet. according toly, our bedroom suites are less expensive to produce and can be rented for let's. so we've considered this a test case for middle-income workforce housing and a potential model for low-income or homeless transitional housing in the future. >> here is the diagram of the waivers that were discussed earlier. >> we can't see it, but your time is up. >> ok, thanthank you so much ane have questions, we'll call you again. >> thank you. >> we will now take public comment on this item. i have two speaker cards. paul dalley and david hieman and anyone else h who wishes to comment, come on up. >> this is a 1 16,000 square fot building adding new residents on what was winner onc once a park. this shadows the eagle bar in 1981, san francisco's iconic and lg btq bar. the proposed structure has no community or meeting space used by our groups, for example. the loss of these spaces increases the demand for remaining -- pardon me, for the residential spaces, pushing up prices and making it

it is the largest ones in -- 50,000 square feet up to larger than 500,000 square feet. there is not that many of those buildings. they are responsible for 73% of electricity emissions. that is only 9% of those buildings. that is a total of 156,000 tons of co2 each year. they may not be that many, but those large buildings are our primary emitters. we are going to phase in this ordinance, the requirements for 100 renewable electricity purchase starting in 2022. with the buildings that are 500,000 square feet or higher. we are going to phase in the next category of buildings, 250,000 square feet to 500,000 square feet in 2024. by 2030, it will be the buildings -- we did that to make sure they're clean power program can procure the right amount of electricity to meet the right amount of customer demand. and today, if they were to do that, they would find out a little more challenging, because the market is a little bit more can -- everyone wants cleaner electricity in california. making sure there is adequate supply to meet customer demand. if large buildings switched to h

square as well as being in the square itself the pictures of very powerful you can see a lot of people injured you can see. the security forces using water cannon tanks and driving in to the crowd it's concerned a lot of people hate particularly amongst the government that this was able to escalate so quickly within the space of a few hours they were able to get thousands of people out onto the street now that is one of the most influential player x. in iraq he's a shia cleric he's also his party is also a member of the ruling class in iraq he actually tweeted saying that the government needed to mount and investigate. into the events of takara square so there's been a lot of reaction coming through from political figures as to what this happened to the protesters are very clear they say the government hasn't given them enough jobs as and created enough opportunities for sickly amongst the poor of iraq and this isn't just happening here in baghdad it's happening in just as well where people are out on the streets and the fear now is that this could escalate into a nation wide movement

pipeline is there would be an annual 300,000 square feet of new office space. so that's a lot of job growth. >> that's right. >> way above the number that you are saying of 1,500 jobs lost. so it's a net job loss over what the expected, very large amount of growth. >> that's right. the only thing i'm saying is we are not saying the city is going to add jobs every year, because we are going to have a recession at some point. but your point is absolutely right. the amount of office space we are projecting the city to grow, even if this legislation passes is more than what that difference between that's a result of the legislation. so the city would continue to add office space with this legislation. >> so with the projected development, this is done on models that are based on past office growth. it's not at all connected to or analyzing the pipeline that we already have. because we know that there are very large projects that are jumping all over each other to try to take what's available under prop m which is expected to at least in the next few years, in the n

aircraft thunder through the skies above beijing armored vehicles rumble through chan in the square a display of china's military strength as president xi jinping calls for economic and political confidence and sends a message to hong kong. we have to maintain their peaceful united one country to assist them. to keep hong kong and macau is a long term prosperity and stability 70 years ago when john and square communist party chairman mao tse dong announced the founding of the people's republic of china. in the following 27 years mao so-called great leap forward plan to boost farming and industrial production led to famine and the deaths of an estimated 30000000 people his cultural revolution clamped down dissent a year after mao's death in 1986 new leader dense helping declared china would open up internally and to the outside world. the china of today bears little resemblance to the china of chairman mao the new middle class is getting wealthier and the country's transformed itself into an economic global power but one of the central messages of the celebrations today seems to be a c

almost 7,000 square foot home. that is like a phoenix reincarnating into godzilla. with my five minutes, i would like the commission to not only consider whether this proposal is compliant, but take into account the developer's history of deception towards the neighbors and the true profiteering motives. i did not object to this project initially because i'm not one of those people. i support densification of san francisco to maintain some sense of affordability in this beautiful city. for full disclosure, the construction company and i entered into an agreement in 2016 where for my compliance for the development, they will construct my remodel for favorable place of $300 a square foot. this remodel would mitigate most of the negative effects of the development of the neighboring house. as you can see in the graphics, there is a huge difference via the solar study and the before and after shadowing effects on my property on the left. it was away for both of us to works and by optically for mutual benefit, not antag

tenement square saw bloodshed when pro-democracy demonstrators stood up against tanks in 29 china is determined to show that its military is stronger than ever but the success of president xi jinping whose leadership may depend on how he handles china's newfound respect pretty rock matters algis in beijing. a little earlier i spoke to vaudrey why he's a former diplomat at the british embassy in china and now an associate fellow at chatham house here in london he says violence has been escalating for so long in hong kong that tuesday's shooting was almost inevitable i don't think it's a huge turning point it is a sad escalation and it is really sad that this young man has been so badly injured it was sort of coming because the demonstrations were getting more violent and the police reactions were getting more violent and sooner or later something horrible had to happen and it has now happened what the demonstrators want i think and the people of hong kong want is some kind of reaction from their government to show that their government is sort of on their side and pushing for democrac

it's very empty but we were here from the early morning and people were cleaning up the square picking up garbage they recycle lot of the activists here making sure that they recycle. some people are sitting around this was the scene yesterday when you saw that crowd you're mentioning there are supporters of a model and hezbollah came here smashed the tents down but soon after that people were erecting them back up and you can see over here ali. what was left of those tents that they destroyed they put at the bottom of this sign just outside the mosque as a sort of symbol of resistance if you will in terms of the protesters coming back onto the streets so today the main news is this they have opened most of the make just. main beirut highways that's the gentleman who's a place to myself right at the foot of this makeshift monument they open the roads this is easing a lot of pressure on the people also we're expecting schools and banks to open this is something we were hearing it hasn't been officially confirmed at the moment but certainly some kind of normalcy i think you can call it o

city council so the protests are going to remain in the squares but what we think what's. demanded you know all the politicians and some of the political parties the professors to go out of the seats since they are one main demands which is taking down the government. the specter of civil war is never far from people's minds. is this going to stay at this level do you think on is the country headed for more violent confrontations. even today and into. last couple of days. before this squares got to all political parties all decision makers and i didn't even say to be the memories of the bad memories stephen was still alive. conscious and subconscious so no one going to repeat this mistake again according to all these parties and demonstrators so all the. parties in the been trying their best to avoid this thing that saying that at best they said that they're going to cheat the old they demand. their right decision they are very. they do but it's like they didn't achieve it since 30 years since the civil war that years ago. all the bodies people asking for the thing demands

i'm at the plateau which is a central square year in barcelona, dozens central square year in barcelona barcelona, dozens of people have been gathering this area for the last couple of hours. and the roads next to me leads down to the headquarters of the spanish national police which has been very much a focus of demonstrations over the last week or so. demonstrations over the last week or so. as you can see there is a very heavy police presence here guarding it, stopping demonstrators from going down that road to the national police headquarters. so far, things have been relatively peaceful. there have been relatively peaceful. there have been relatively peaceful. there have been a few incidents but as you can tell there is a certain amount of tension in the air and thousands of tension in the air and thousands of people here, they seem to be arriving in large numbers still. the mayor has described the situation as chaotic, more than a0 metro stations were vandalised overnight and many buses were set on fire. after the government announced a hike in the price of public transport ticket

it's another tense day here entire career square in baghdad you might be hearing. any time now one just when are stun grenades that are being used to disperse crowds again it looks like it's the same scenario people are trying to reach a barricade with a bridge that would lead to the green zone where there are officers of top officials and the united states embassy but people here are furious they are showing the canisters of tear gas canisters of tear gas and what looks like the remnants of these stun grenades saying that this is really the iranian government shooting at us and that we're peaceful then they continue to say that they want the government to go there was a sit in overnight here in times square i don't know if you can see the tents behind me you can see the ambulances which are headed to the hospital fearing people are pretty consistently by the way for the last several hours but in any event several 100 people spent the night here and there were other citizens across the country in iraq overnight but protests were of violence particularly in the town

we so in the process squares oldish with us today would have beat. the movement and they are that it's the 1st step then one of the main demands. governs ignition 2nd you have to. know you want. to hold you want to take down the hole. so the 1st step that is the government achieved no the i'll be putting you formation of a new government based on technocratic with difficulty can members so they can achieve the other the money. and it is not likely to happen. nothing really because you know 3 lebanon is. you know the old region of. let's say. violence or any event that took place in the middle east region will have its impact on lebanon so this moment we are waiting for a press release from the presidential palace which is going to be released in the next few minutes. i received some few minutes ago so waiting for the loonies what is normal call didn't do i was sources in bed with a close look to all sources that we talked today. should the parliament we're going to rename side how do you do for the new government. so it sounds like this crisis is far

the transit center project is about a million square feet.he entire floor is for commuter buses to come in and drop off, there will be five and a half acre city park accessible to everyone. it has an amputheater and water marsh that will filter it through to use it for landscaping. bay area council is big here in the area, and they have a gender equity group. i love going to the workshops. it's where i met jessica. >> we hit it off, we were both in the same field and the only two women in the same. >> through that friendship did we discover that our projects are interrelated. >> the projects provide the power from san jose to san francisco and end in the trans bay terminal where amanda was in charge of construction. >> without her project basically i have a fancy bus stop. she has headed up the women's network and i do, too. we have exchanged a lot of ideas on how to get groups to work together. it's been a good partnership for us. >> women can play leadership role in this field. >> i tell him that the schedule is behind, his work is crappy.

this is phase one of the revitalization of liberty square. this complex includes public housing, affordable housing, and even units at market rate. ble developer believes this model is one possolution to the housing crisis. >> we want to make sure that it's a true mixed-income community, and, you kn, the units are all the same. >> reporter: albert milo is the r.esident of related urban, the project's develo uben it's completed, the public units, which aredized by the federal departdent of housing anurban development, will grow from about 700 to 750 and be intermixed with more than 800 additional units. there will also be retail space and a large grocery store. when you first heard about what they wanted to do in liberty >> they lying.as your response? they not fittingino build no >> reporter: despite that initial skepticism, sharon r gregory saysed has kept up its end of the bargain. first person to move into a renovated unit. she's been a liberty square resident for 17 years. >> look how big this kitchen isy 17ears and never had an iceic mak

from trafalgar square, back to you.ales. there will be very gusty winds today. temperatures a little bit lower than yesterday. through tonight, more showers and those most frequent again across scotla nd those most frequent again across scotland and into north—western areas of england. temperatures into single figures but then as we go through thursday, seeing again a bit more cloud around, showers but more persistent rain in northern ireland and scotland. this is worklife from bbc news, with sally bundock and karin giannone. counting the cost of caring for the elderly to relatives and economies around the world. live from london, that's our top story today wednesday the 9th of october. a new report puts the cost of workers leaving the uk economy to care for a relative at nearly $1 billion dollars a year and that doesn't account for the physical and mental cost. also in the programme.

because the army and police forces have sealed off to a square now the protesters say they won't need to buy this and they are going to try and push into the square the harder they push the harder the security services fight back they are using live rounds they are using water cannon tankers and they are using at a gas to push these people back it's all on going on tuesday at last for about 6 or 7 hours we're expecting more and more people to try and come into the square from the surrounding neighborhoods however on tuesday we saw the protests take place in niger and we're not hearing of the protests are taking place in those areas of yet it seems to be confined to baghdad and it's a it seems to be rather spend taney is this said because as broken down so quickly and got so violent you talk there about why you've ammunition being used to control the protesters that that's going to flame the situation surely. it will inflame the situation but you ask a very good question that these protests seemingly came out of nowhere a lot of iraqis themselves are saying who are the leaders of these

now over the last 5 days what's been happening is they've been pushed back from the square there was a ring of around the square and nobody was allowed to come it whether the protesters will manage to make it here or not remains to be same but the protesters demands are also actually changing they started off you know protesting about the lack of jobs lack of opportunities they talked about corruption within the government and also religious discrimination while now they're talking about the heavy handed army presence that you can see behind me the heavy handed police presence and the people that have died they say that the more people that die the more they'll try and come out on the street so by no means does it feel like this it looks like this protest movement is over more protests are being held in hong kong on saturday but smaller than we've seen of late thousands of people demonstrating against a ban on face mosques despite the march being cancelled by its organizes it was called off to hong kong's rail network was closed down due to what authorities called malicious friendles

feet of office use, 79,000 floor, 9,000 square feet of retail space and 20,000 square feet of open space for residential and office use. project includes 177 class 1 and 39 class 2 bike parking spaces in the garage levels and 183, 183 vehicle parking spaces. project would conduct a pedestrian bridge providing public access to the sales force park located on the roof of the adjacent sales force transit centre which is a unique element that serves as a public benefit. it would revice figure 1 of the plan subarea map and maps 1 and 5 to the land use and height designations for the parcel f project site thus facilitating the project. it would achieve two goals. effectively resulting in a height and bulb swap between lot 16 and 136 with lots 138 on a sensor block 3721 and rezone 135 and 138 on the block 3721 which is an area of 2,000 square feet from p to c30 i30sd. in addition, the project would require additional commission action to be considered at a future hearing date scheduled for november 21st of this year. the department has received one letter in opposition to the proposed project b

so how do you square that circle? the circles of what boris johnson difficult actually to square the circles of what borisjohnson is saying publicly, what the law in the legislation sides, and actually what borisjohnson legislation sides, and actually what boris johnson and the legislation sides, and actually what borisjohnson and the government's lawyers told the court in scotland earlier this week, that they would be looking to seek an extension. so, you know there are plenty of rumours going around at a possible trapdoor through this piece of legislation. no one has found one, no one can point to what it would be, and so i think it very much looks like we are heading to the uk government having to ask for an extension at the back end of next week. but if that happens, very briefly, it wouldn't be much beyond january, right? well, that's with the legislation sides. it says end ofjanuary, and then general election territory. all right, we will leave it there. joe, programme director at the institute of brexit. good t

or 650 square feet flat near the city center and i want to look at in particular the top 3 of these cities because in these top 3 cities since 2009 this. little dark circle on the left for hong kong paris and london is where cost how many years it took to afford a average 65 meter square property in the city center and hong kong it was 10 years in paris it was about 12 years london it was maybe 9 or 8 or 9 years back in 2009 now look at the jump since then hong kong is now over 20 years it was 10 years before an ounce over 20 years it takes to afford just an average property in the city center paris oh about 15 years now and london has jumped to just under 15 years so what do you think of especially hong kong and paris you think of all the protests going on the very very very similar they both look exactly alike you have police shooting out people's eyes and you have. all sorts of people not just young but like a whole range of classes those who are outside who do not own already a 65 meter squared or 60 meter square property in the city center versus the rest right and it's not a c
