so the soils get squashed and the cities think this is how much for major asian cities are falling by each year. it may not look like a lot, but it quickly adds up. over the last century, bangkok has sunk by more than one point. shanghai by more than 2 meters, by more than 3 meters and eastern tokyo by more than 4 meters. parts of california have dropped by the height of a house. in the indonesian capital jakarta house at the west imagine a baby born today. by the time a child and the higher coastal area of the city will be under water. why is dakota thinking so? well, indonesia's groundwater problems are worse than most like the car in bangladesh. jakarta's river, the full of plastic and whites. well, government can only produce 60 percent of what that are. you know, what we've got banking. so 58 percent of people still rely undergird. what i add to that, the fact that you cannot assert some swampland is home to 13 rivets and is among the most densely populated cities in the world. but to cotter's intellect, calcutta is also sinking, even if it's just a few millimeters each year. the

there is no longer the thing in the city it is city administrator. there is cleanup work in addition to what i talked about. we think this will discourage contractors from continues to try to give gifts to city officials and if they continue to do so it will be easier to take them off the books while the criminal process plays out. i am happy to answer any questions that the committee has. >> thank you for the presentation and all of your work. this is a necessary and crucial step to root out corruption and restore the faith of the public. as you mentioned, you have introduced an amendment and i am happy to make the motion on this amendment. they appear on page 9. again they would require officers who preside over department and suspension hearings be an attorney licensed to practice in california with at least five years of experience. before we go to public comment, colleagues, do you have any questions or remarks you would like to make? >> chair mar, i would like to be added as a proud co-sponsor. >> i will make you primary sponsor of the item. >>

at the city's ability to pay.we can structure those items in details, both sides do this in preparation for bargaining. we'll present it in negotiations. we'll present it in the mediation process. and then if we're forced into arbitration, because we really can't agree, we present the data to the arbitrator who makes a decision. we know that and we consider that when we look at how we do this. you know, it's -- 3% is probably, as i say, consistent with projected cost-of-living and the first number is -- we we set it lower than the miscellaneous number. both parties agreed. >> supervisor haney: so in what is included in the m.o.u., the police are getting less in the out years, in this renegotiated " the news hour" tha--m.o.u. than the other city workers are? >> if the first year. in the second year, we don't know yet, because the miscellaneous m.o.u.s will be expiring and we'll be renegotiating them. so that 3%, you know, becomes a factor in miscellaneous negotiations as well. >> supervisor haney: oh, you're saying

the city is such a fraud hoax. residents living, breathing barmen, clemens talk about some staple here. joke that you're only a fry burger when your hobby is separating your garbage. that's definitely important. here. the city at the edge of the black forest shows how the past can be combined and that brings us to the end of this special edition. but don't forget to check out our website for our latest draw where this backpack is up for grabs from all of us here in berlin. thanks for watching some of them were child soldiers. now they're learning how to process trauma with yoga. just one of the many projects initiated by her illogic elmira current goal to better the lives of the somali people meet the 2020 sermon, africa prize winner 77 percent. and 30 minutes on d. w. 4 spectacular pictures. it's their passion for nature. it's their complete devotion that makes them the best wildlife photographer in the 5 adventurers. one goal, the preservation of our planet. passion for china. 75 minutes on d w. what do you think

it's time for new city leadership at city hall.upervisor who will put the richmond first. i'm the only candidate with extensive civil rights experience needed to effectively represent the richmond district. first, the richmond and san francisco more broadly must build more affordable housing. second, i will fight to expand healthy san francisco so that uninsured middle class residents will receive health care coverage. additionally, i am the only major candidate in this race to oppose any tax increases swoosh the covid-19 -- during the covid-19 pandemic. we should not kick people when we're down. let's first look at our current spending and fight government waste before we increase teaks. we net better environmentally friendly options to help getting citizens to and from the richmond. that's why i'm for bringing b.a.r.t. to the richmond. lastly, our current homeless policies have been ineffective. i support caring for our homeless without turning our neighborhoods and our parks into homeless encampments. i believe my policies will

the thrill of life in the big city is dwindling. in fact, that life in general is changing in a big way. it's coated 19, redefining cities as we know them. well, besides getting people to accept that mosques, good hygiene and social distancing do actually help in preventing the spread of diseases like cove. it is just one thing i'd like to ask my workmates, friends, family and everyone else out there. let's make this work. this is a once in a lifetime chance to change our working world for the better. lots of us probably never thought we could do our jobs from home. what a great opportunity to free up more time instead of commuting, be more creative and productive. it can take a lot of discipline, though not to get into lazy habits. this is a totally new way of working and is also a lot more that could change besides ever returned to normal cities teeming with traffic. people moving freely with no fear of covert 19. how will this pandemic shape the future of our cities? since the corona virus outbreak up to 40 percent of people have

i was fortunate to work with the city hall preservation advisory committee when i was the city clerk. there's a little room off the hall called the marriage ceremony room, and i was able to work with the commission to redo this room in a way that's worthy of city hall. i want to thank miss schumer for her guidance during this process, and i agree everything that you said, supervisor ronen, about her style. i miss everybody so much, and i want to thank mr. vergara. your job sounds amazing. even though my son is at sacred heart, but we are all wildcats, as well. for mr. haas to write the book that he has, thank you. and there are so many people who come to our beautiful building, the people's palace, to experience what that building means to so much of us. so thank you for your willness willness -- willingness to worserve. it means so much. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. so supervisors -- >> supervisor mar: chair ronen, can i also just add my words? >> chair ronen: yes, absolutely. please go on. >> supervisor mar: i want to thank everyone for their willingness to serve and especiall

in our city. there's also been growing frustration that i've heard from my constituents, that there's things that aren't being scheduled -- and even small business owners, for small projects, and the extremely long delays in getting their permit considered, and it's causing hardship, particularly for the business owners that need to make changes to their storefronts. i think when they read about and hear about the favortism that happens and continues to happen at d.b.i., i think that just erodes confidence in our city government, so thanks so much, supervisor ronen, for your calling for this hearing, and yeah, i would turn it back to you. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. next in this hearing, we're going to hear from d.b.i., and i don't know who we're going to hear from, but whoever is here, go ahead. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is christine [inaudible] and i am the assistant director of the department of building inspector. i'm here with our chief building inspector, joe duffy. joe has b

however, the city and e.c.s. are hopeful that this space will be included in the final purchase price. that will increase the acquisition cost by about $2 million, or a total acquisition price of $50 million. however, that cost will be predominantly offset by projected revenue from that cafe space lease, which will be approximately $1.6 million to $1.7 million. again all of those details will be back to the board for final approval when a final purchase and sale agreement is negotiated. and the city completes its due diligence in a final loan amount to the project. in addition, the standard agreement requires the city to provide operating subsidies for at least five years. the estimated cost of these subsidies is approximately $13.3 million. however, the city and its partner were also awarded about $3.12 million in state funds to cover the first two years of operating costs. although the homekey grant requires the city to maintain an operating subsidy for five years, as all of you know, the department is committe

the city is doing.the taxi ranks are full and the shops are empty. gary's customers are few and far between — now liverpool's under tight restrictions. on a normal day, even, you know, late october, this area would be absolutely full of people. a sort of hive of activity. yeah. so, it's dead. it's absolutely dead at the moment. it's all come as the city — once a great port — has reinvented itself as a cultural and tourist destination. so this is the baltic area of liverpool. it's been redeveloped over the last ten years, really exciting area. one of the crownjewels of the baltic is 24 kitchin street. don't watch what it looks like, wait until you get inside you'll realise the magic. yeah, looks intriguing. yaw runs some of liverpool's music festivals. this is a key venue. you've got to put this in context with what the cavern was maybe doing in the late '50s, early '60s. but it's silent now. it's a bit dusty, a bit sad. for yaw, it's not just a struggle for survival — but for the soul of the city. we've

for you, it's the city. it's the city's responsibility. that's where i'm going to work with my colleagues to try and figure it out. >> one last thing, this is in general. this is actually -- i'm getting lot of feedback. the rodent population. it's just like crazy. restaurants and other businesses tell me this have to have strategies. there's a call to mitigate this. i don't know if you can opine on this. what are you seeing and any thoughts or comments? >> we're seeing certainly as rodent problem in the areas where we have the encampment with trash building up. i don't have much visibility into that. i can tell you that we have seen it in the public spaces lot more issues as regarding rodents. i don't know if it's because people going out much. rodents are feeling more brave to do their thing. we have seen some areas where that's been a problem and the tenderloin for sure. in candlestick, they are throwing garbage over the fence you can see the garbage moving. it's not the wind that's moving it, it's the rodents. they are doing that. we're

paris is a city with lots of enthusiasm for and the city administration has launched several projects as part of the program. on about one quarter of the space, over 20 minutes of the unimpressive planting some 30 cartons of mainly regional fruit vegetables. and of course, without resorting to pesticides or other chemicals, they relied on 2 special growing message that the 1st method is using vertical columns. the roots are completely out in the open air, sprayed with nutrients in a closed system. and system is hydroponics. we have horizontal cutters, along with the coconut pine substrate. as an arrow panix, the nutrients reach the plants water cycle. during the peak growing season, the roof the fresh fruit and vegetables this week reset to increase project completion in 2022. in order to supply this is already the case in iraq today several times a week. and electric vehicles used to deliver hundreds of liters of milk. but milk isn't on the agenda, so we are designing and the fella paying the next farm on the water next to this one. and that will be a farm with fur to go farming, but

in our city. there's also been growing frustration that i've heard from my constituents, that there's things that aren't being scheduled -- and even small business owners, for small projects, and the extremely long delays in getting their permit considered, and it's causing hardship, particularly for the business owners that need to make changes to their storefronts. i think when they read about and hear about the favortism that happens and continues to happen at d.b.i., i think that just erodes confidence in our city government, so thanks so much, supervisor ronen, for your calling for this hearing, and yeah, i would turn it back to you. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. next in this hearing, we're going to hear from d.b.i., and i don't know who we're going to hear from, but whoever is here, go ahead. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is christine [inaudible] and i am the assistant director of the department of building inspector. i'm here with our chief building inspector, joe duffy. joe has b

cities. you can see late february and early march. things were slowing down and then by the 3rd week of march, different cities have recovered two different extents. of these cities, san francisco's restaurant industry is doing the worst, at least by the standards of having seated desks. and all of all the cities that we have a tract on this, -- [indiscernible] -- that is partly due to our continuing limitation of indoor restaurant dining. next slide, please. another data source that we are looking at is data from mastercard, which is tracking small businesses in particular that use mastercard to process transactions. they work on a business by business basis and they know who was doing transactions and who is not. this is a map showing the percentage of accounts that were not showing any transactions in the last couple of weeks of july unfortunately, we don't have updated data on this. we're trying to get this from a third-party source. it's showing you that when things were quite bad in the

in our city.o again, starting to think about, what could we deliver for our communities as this economic benefit comes to our city? we created an affordable housing trust fund in addition to developing that economic development deal. knowing that there would be challenges on the west side of atlanta with affordable housing, but as the city began to grow in different corners, the entire city is impacted. so we wanted some flexibility with this antidisplacement zone, the same way we created it on the west side. we created affordable housing trust fund. it will be about $5 million that goes into that trust fund to allow us to create these displacement free zones throughout the city. it is just a drop in the bucket. $5 million sounds like a lot, but it is not. it can go very quickly. the challenges that we have, the one that we have to do a better job on is the estate planning. i'm seeing this in my family. i see it with my grandparents' homes, that nobody bothered to establish a will. the kids are re

like this across the city. i'm happy to have this opportunity to present to you today. what i will do is share with you the current statistics on how the city is doing and also a perspective on where we are in this particular economic moment. this is not just a public health crisis. we are six months into the shutdown. we are also six months into an severe economic recession that will be with us after the public health emergency is over. it is also no ordinary recession because of covid. it's really the interaction between those things and the issues. i think they will shape the city 's recovery and one of its major priorities coming out. katie, if you can show the first slide. in april, when the economic statistics came out, it became clear that the united states had lost 10 years of job growth in one month. this is the san francisco metro division equivalent of that. you could see we lost 175,000 jobs between march of a -- march and april of this year. that was really businesses being forced to shut down, peo

city in the country. thanks to solar panels, car free zones and creative urban planning. well, freiburg has become a leader in sustainable living. so we went there to find out more and yet extremely modern and progressive tribal elders, a 6 year old, it's europe's largest public service for placing from the middle ages, traditions, and a view to the future. a combined in the city of 230000 inhabitants, and ecological thinking is almost a matter of course. the sustainability manager of the university of fraud. she shows us the so-called james bond tunnel. the 250 meter long on the ground system cools the university buildings using ground. it's a simple system that saves the results of the cyclical system, uses the groundwater for cooling, it gets warm and then it's pumped back into the ground. groundwater is running here, for example. it saves a lot of electricity and steam for the cooling. nor was she came to for environmental management for the university library. there's a huge university's focus on sus

to construct in the city. you know that the city just recently put forward a capital project, the infrastructure bond. that did get passed by the voters this november, and so we see funding coming in from that. that will also help a funding and investment in our infrastructure that will also put people to work. there was some questioning around can we redesign our programs. of course, we want to make sure that we continue to advocate for federal and state funding, and with the election just recently called, we might have some more opportunities in that sense, but i do think there's going to be a challenge there, especially because we still have a divided house, that's right, so we potentially have a senate that we're not sure whether will be democrat or not, so we'll see what a democrat president can continue to do with that. we'll continue to look at business and philanthropic efforts. one of our ballot measures this november, there was a ballot measure that opened up quite a bit of funding for child care, as

where we are today in the city. very happy to be here with you. was civil rights in new york. the story of police totality they are clearly by the 1930s and 40s. they will deal with the police violence that is in state violence. african americans wer targeted right from the beginningf policing. it is an important part of that story. how they organize to confront police brutality. 1930s and 40s. and so on. one of the stories that comes to my mind it is is the one in 1964 where you have the rebellion. after a 15-year-old james howell a junior high school student was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer the police officer of course says that the young man have a weapon it was much heavier to confront this child. people began to organize the killing. and eventually there was conversation with the police a few days after the killing which did not take place in harlem. they begino organize and they have the upper right. they were frustrated with t way that they were treating him. it was a vicus event on part of t

minor flight out of the major cities. we're seeing more and more people moving to suburbs outside urban landscapes. and i think that is a real concern on the other side. of this virus, this spiraling economy spans across the u.s. as once for low jobs are gone for good. each day, the pandemics losses mount in lives and livelihoods. the latest here is central camera. the chicago institution opened it 899 closed in 2020, and hoping to reopen again. john hendren, al-jazeera, chicago. it's a shopping mall like no other in america. it's got the shops more than $350.00 retail stores under one roof. but it also has slides, a full water park feeding in a giant pools and also slopes the ski and snowboard type. it's all part of more than 20 entertainment at tractions. at the newly opened american dream shopping mall near new york, the largest shopping center in the united states, 20 years and 5000000000 dollars after its inception. he was supposed to open in march, but couldn't do covert lockdowns as crews put on final touches for t

the southern german city of freiburg is 900 years old, but it's still the most ecologically event city in the car. thanks to solar panels, car free zones and creative urban planning. well, freiburg has become a leader in sustainable living. so we went there to find out more impressive is a 6 year. it's europe's largest public. net 0. placing from the middle ages, traditions and a view to the future, a combined in the city of 30000 inhabitants. and ecological thinking is almost a matter of the sustainability manager of the university of fraud ball. she shows us the 250 meter long on the ground system, cools the university buildings using ground. it's a simple system. that saves the cyclical system, uses the groundwater for cooling, it gets warm and then it's pumped back into the ground groundwater as running here, for example, it saves a lot of electricity at steam for the cool that she came to study environmental management for the university library there's a huge university's focus on sustainability in the next and, you know, in recent years there have been really committed students

however, the city and e.c.s. are hopeful that this space will be included in the final purchase price. that will increase the acquisition cost by about $2 million, or a total acquisition price of $50 million. however, that cost will be predominantly offset by projected revenue from that cafe space lease, which will be approximately $1.6 million to $1.7 million. again all of those details will be back to the board for final approval when a final purchase and sale agreement is negotiated. and the city completes its due diligence in a final loan amount to the project. in addition, the standard agreement requires the city to provide operating subsidies for at least five years. the estimated cost of these subsidies is approximately $13.3 million. however, the city and its partner were also awarded about $3.12 million in state funds to cover the first two years of operating costs. although the homekey grant requires the city to maintain an operating subsidy for five years, as all of you know, the department is committe

so the soils get squashed and the cities think this is how much for major asian cities are falling by each year. it may not look like a lot, but it quickly adds up. over the last century, bangkok has sunk by more than one meter. shanghai by more than 2 meters, at least codell to by more than 3 meters and eastern tokyo by more than for me to parts of california have dropped by the height of the house. the indonesian capital jakarta has at the worst imagine a baby born today. by the time that child having only think high of cosplay or in the city will be under water. why is dakota thinking so? well, indonesia's groundwater problems are worse than most like the car in bangladesh to cut of river to full of plastic and whites. our government can only use 60 percent of the supply of what that is. what we got by doing. so 58 percent of people relate undergird. what are add to that? the fact that kata sits on swampland is home to 13 rivets and is among the most densely populated cities in the world. but reason to learn. calcutta is also sinking, even if it's just a few millimeters each year.

new york city mayor, bill de blasio, announced that the city schools are closing to in-person learning in the wake of increase in coronavirus cases. the mayor was joined by the chancellor of new york city schools and medical advisers. this runs 15 minutes. >> i want to emphasize to parents, educators, staff, kids, that we intend to come, back and come back as quickly as possible. we are working right now with the state of new york and that's a lot of what we talked about this morning. i had a number of conversations with the governor, we're talking throughout the morning on exactly what it would take to come back and bring our schools back quickly in that would be a higher standard. i want that to be clear. we have a strange and health and safety standard right now we have to raise that up even higher to be able to bring our schools back. but that's exactly will be intend to do. we are going to have to focus even more on testing. and i want to emphasize, testing is going to be crucial to the successful reopening of our schools. and everyone has got to get engaged even more on testing.

sustainability is the city a city, so residents live and breathe environmental awareness. people here joke that you're only a fry burger when your hobby is separating your garbage. that's definitely important here. the city at the edge of the black forest shows how the past can be combined with an ecological and that brings us to the end of this special edition. but don't forget to check out our web site for our latest draw where this backpack is up for grabs from all of us here in berlin. thanks for watching closely again. see what's going on here? oh, no. house of your for me only from a printer. computer games that are healing my dog needs electricity. just explains, delivers facts and shows what the future holds. yet, living in the digital world. shift 15 minutes on d, w. sustainable trouble. how does it work? and what can you discover when you're away from the popular sites? lucas stated, except to explore a brilliant by bicycle and swollen, innovative, green meadows monday. because there they have a university that's completely focused on the topic of sustainability.

this is by far the largest number of mail-in ballots in the city's history. i am very proud of the work our staff did. they have been working around the clock since tuesday and before. here is what you can expect in the upcoming days. afternoon, wethis will report another updated mail in ballot results. i expect it to be between 2000 and 3000. after that, the remaining ballots generally fall into one of three categories -- those that require a review, provisionals, u.s. military, overseas ballots. i would estimate there are approximately 40,000 remaining to be counted. we can also tell you that it may take several days to complete the reporting of that. as you know, election results are not officially certified until 40 days after the election. thank you again, thank you to the citizens of philadelphia and now, i would like to invite commissioner omar sabir to the podium. >> good afternoon. i would like to thank the county board of alexion staff, i would like to thank the taxpaying citizens of philadelphia and across america. i think it is safe to say democra

the city needs to -- it will not stop. the city needs to open their own nonprofit. they have the opportunity, and they have everything to do it. >> john? >> thank you. affordable housing, to me, is where our housing costs no more than what a household of 120% area median income can afford, where they're paying no more than 30% of their income for housing. i also believe that we need to be building housing no more than that, that rate, but also a large -- the largest amount of housing that is deeply affordable. here in district 11, we have a lot of households that are bundled up into single homes and need relief. a lot of them are very low-income and would benefit from having deeply affordable housing. for me, i've been working for years to expand finances for housing, affordable housing in san francisco, looking at various sources from our general fund to housing bond. i actually wrote the housing bond on 2015, and i wrote with the mayor of san francisco the housing trust fund in 2012. i'm excited about propositions i and propositions k that are on the ballot that a

so a mega city or across the magazine. there is always some risk remaining in case of failure, defense failure. and so this is something that is considered in the design, and we should be prepared for the barrier will need to be updated. sea levels are rising faster than anticipated, and london is at the forefront of planning for an uncertain future. definitely london is setting the example for course that megacities, i think something like 4 cities that can be affected by cause some flooding. but there are other examples worldwide. and for example, the most body were invented in venice. and of course, different solutions will fit in different places. but few coastal regions have a huge barrier like this to protect them from storm surges. if sea levels keep rising, many communities could be left to make difficult decisions. it often all starts munging than some areas may simply have to be abandoned. in parts of wales, for example, communities are realising, they're living on borrowed time from the local governments don't h
