they don't tell you not to get permits for an illegal unit. in fact the notice of violation for the building department for illegal units. and some of you commissioners know that. it is a legalized unit. or get permits to remove it. now, if it is, you know, or the three district where the two district and they are asking to legalize a third, obviously they would not say, legalize because you cannot legalize a third unit in the rh2 district. but it is wrong to think that the opponents were asked to clarify the record to make this into a single family home. they can get a permit for a second unit. and the second unit can be made large enough by removal of the illegal third one that both the owner and my client can have a bigger place to live or my client can stay where he and have what he has and the owner can stay where he is merely by merging an illegal unit into his unit. we don't need to go destroy the whole building. destroying the whole building, however, let me state a lot of the misrepresentations have to be looked at. for example, look a

an illegal development of dwellings on an rh-1 zoned lot. the reasons we oppose this is we think approving this project creates the opportunity for future conversion of one of the buildings into a dwelling unit and the structures are detached from one another. the use of accessory building to describe a plan to construct a three bedroom, three bath, three story building seems out of sync with any definitionses we've been able to discover from the sf planning department general planning information. for example storage room home office, recreation room with a bathroom. the proposed remodel of the existing dwelling will result in a two-bedroom one bath with kitchen and play room and this would be the primary residence versus the three story three bedroom three bath new dwelling. this one doesn't make sense to us. it seems the concerns to the neighbors of the north are reflected in the change of plans, but our concerns don't seem to be taken into account after -- other than promises by mr. crock and the nsr placing an nsr on a property does nothing to prevent illegal building and places a burden of reporting on neighbors. we feel the residential design guidelines should be established before ap

an error in it. i have done three cfcs where i have corrected. the last one i did is someone got a notice of violation for illegal construction and the contractor put down one unit and the city signed off and novs they issued a cfc for a single family house, two units in it. we corrected the record. and said that was a mistake. beyond that, cfcs are never corrected. they are never over turned. now, i went out is and visited the building, you have three kitchens, two meters, and one address. something is wrong. i pulled all of the records. that is a house. okay? i live in the neighborhood. i can walk to the house. it is a house. i pulled all of the records. i went to talk to the person in charge of microfilm repeated times, she is in charge of the issue ans of cfcs i invited her out. do you want to come out come out. the record is so clear. it is a legal family single house and they declined and said we don't need to come out, that cfc is so crystal clear it is a legal house. i pulled and then i asked for a three-r report which is required for planning. and i finished and i took the seismic drawings that i was working on and deleted the frame there is a complete

an amicus brief in the supreme court arguing that the national labor relations board should have the legal authority to grant back pay to illegal aliens. federal law, however, prohibits illegal aliens from working in the unitedstates in the first place. fortunately the court sided with the law and disagreed with miss halligan on that novel legal theory as well. the point here is that even in cases where the law is clear or the courts have already spoken, including the supreme court, miss halligan chose to get involved anyway, using arguments that had already been rejected either by the courts, the legislature, or in the case of frivolous claims against the gun manufacturers, by both. in other words, miss halligan has time and again sought to push her views over and above those of the courts or those of the people as reflected in the law. miss halligan's record strongly suggests that she wouldn't view a seat on the u.s. appeals court as an opportunity to adjudicate evenhandedly disputes between parties based on the law but instead as an opportunity to put her thumb on the scale in favor of whatever individual or group or cause she happened to believe in. i have nothing against the nominee personally. i just b
