it has equity applicant. they are required to meet in our offices reviewing applicants and determining whether or not they do meet that criteria. there's an as set test and one of the most interesting components is the criteria they must met. three of the six before you having household that earns no more than 80% a.m.i., having some involvement with a criminal-justice system between 71 and 2016 for cannabis relate reasons. same with a member of your immediate family, number four right there. housing insecurity post 1995. attendance at the san francisco unified school district for no less than five years between 1971 and 2016. and or living in a census tract where 17% of the households had incomes at or below federal poverty from 1971 to 2016. it's one of the main components of the equity program for applicants. what we are looking at now is the ownership criteria. which is the last component of the being an equity applicant ex it's ensuring that you have an ownership stake in that operation in a very real ow

we don't just adjudicate positions, benefit applications or requests. if someone is not eligible for a benefit and they appear before us and they are denied and they have no status, they should receive a notice to appear. that is the correct and natural consequence. it is the appropriate place of uscis to complete that role in the enforcement process. ms. vaughan: that's why the officers have that authority. dir. cissna: of course, they do. for whatever reason, that authority has not been fully exercised. now it will be. that is appropriate and correct and proper for the agency to do its part and enforce the cycle. there are other things -- we are talking about just generally restoring the integrity of the immigration system. it's kind of a bigger issue but it does affect everything that we do -- i want the agency to always act lawfully, to always act within the law. that is why i put this book here. ..this is the most important thing we have, the law. everything we do at the agency should be guided by that. not by any other thing. that's our bible. if

have one applicant. that's commissioner steven lee, unless i'm misinformed. commissioner lee, please come forward. thank you for your patience. this is like being in a planning commission meeting. >> i am steven lee, i have not missed a meeting in six years. i actually learned a lot over the years, and with some of the new tools we have to help keep night life vibrant is working. and i enjoy making comments and doing -- my focus is about public safety. even though i'm not a public safety seat, but i do want to have a voice for the capacity clubs of over 300 that draw a lot of attention to this city. and things are changing now because of economics, as you know, you know, with affordable housing, not enough housing, people moving out of the city. it is happening for the business owners, as well. i'm very -- i own small businesses in -- in the city, and there's a lot of empty storefronts in each of your districts that i noticed. and i know that even for myself, even trying to start-up new businesses in the

but it was used as the bulk of information for the fisa court applications.ow if he understood that, and i guess his wife understood it, why was he still trying to reach 65 pages of the notes, texts, emails, messages, "hope the firewalls hold, i hope we don't get exposed," it is now beginning to come together that this was a broad conspiracy to defraud the fisa court and to really take down donald trump. this is not a game anymore. >> essentially the title of my book and everything that came out today corroborates what's in my book. in fact, it's worse. we learned today that james comey is fbi was far more corrupt than we ever knew. we already knew they use to fake document from a liar they fired. today we knew that bruce ohr told comey and its confederates this is a guy, christopher steele, who said he was desperate to stop donald trump, he was virulently anti-trump, they should have stopped right there in their tracks, said goodbye to steele, thrown his dossier in the garbage, but they didn't care. they moved ahead to launch this investigation of trump's in

so far germany has been slow to process asylum applications or these new centers are the answer to speeding up this process well it is at least the goal and it is the goal of interior minister as a whole for whether they will actually speed up the whole process that's obviously something that we still have to wait for because they have only just started as we saw in our report and this is only seen as a test phase which if it is successful could then be may be applied in other parts of germany but it's important to stress that this is only one pot of the whole asylum procedure in germany that may decide the case of a specific individuals in germany but then if for example their side of application is approved then you have the big challenge of integrating them into german society on the other hand if their asylum application is rejected you then have to return them to their countries of origin and that is obviously another big problem because in most cases you have to have an agreement with those specific countries so yes it may speed up the process but the challenge still remains a big one

up to oppose a particular applicant that is before you. thank you very much. >> thank you. any other speakers for public comment? with that, oh, one more. >> good afternoon, president hillis, fellow commissioners. i'm speaking about number 2. i live up in hunters point. i'm a carpenter. and i'm in support of this project. >> i'm sorry, are you speaking to an item that's on the agenda? >> the continuance. >> we've already had public comment on the continuance. >> oh, did you? >> yes. >> sorry. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner richards: so i think in the housing affordability strategy, having another look at the vacant units given it's been four years would be a really interesting thing. i don't recall whether it was legal units or in-law units we don't know about. so it could be different. but rents have gone up significantly since 2014 so maybe some of those 9,000 or 10,000 have been rented out. i would love to see that. thanks. >> to the gentleman that wanted to speak under public comment, that project will be considered later on the a

of those applications? if they withhold information, aren't they -- isn't this pre-meditated fraud on a court? everybody that signed them? did they commit fraud on a court? >> my opinion on this, sean, there is a guy named john huber who is the u.s. attorney for utah who was tasked by jeff sessions to investigate. my recommendation to mr. huber would be for him to contact my office and ask for a copy of the transcript of bruce ohr. i will make his job a lot easier. >> sean: could i have a copy of it? >> [laughing]. not yet. >> sean: thank you, congressman. we will stay on this. first we have a fox news alert. another race to call. tonight on this busy night. big night in florida for the president. two for two down there. ron desantis and governor rick scott both won their primaries. ed henry, what have you got? >> this is a huge upset. fox projecting right now an upset win in florida's gubernatorial primary. based on the latest vote return fox projects that andrew gillum won the democratic nomination. he is

have known everything contained in the fisa applications.he previous fisa applications. this is really incredible. and he wrote the letter, remember, wrote the letter for president trump to jesusita fire -- trump to fire comey. so isn't he co-conspirator? where is jeff sessions in all of this? and the inspector general report could come out next year there. needs to be a special counsel according to a number of sources. there needs to be a special counsel for this not to be a two-tier justice system. >> sean: so well said. >> there is a reason rod rosenstein has been obstructing congress and in my judgment obstructing justice. he is knee deep in all of this. he signed off ofen the renewal without -- off on the renewal without the evidence. rod rosenstein is engaged in what i suspect is a deliberate cover-up. not only covering up the wrongdoing of the f.b.i. and the department of justice -- by the way, taking no action against bruce ohr for what he did but he is also covering up his own role. >> sean: you have 25 people, top people between th

but the point is the applications adjusted the capacity. they gobble it up. what happens is we always think we are getting ahead of the game and some dimensions to expand our efficient use of spectrum. and we are. but then, innovative figure out a way to use the spaces we have created. so on the one hand, there is no limit to the value we can get. on the other hand, there are sharp limits into how much we can do it at one point in time in terms of promoting conflicting uses. and so there are trade-offs to make in terms of if we have more wireless mobile, more competition between say verizon comment t-mobile, sprint and at&t. airwaves set-aside 1939 to 1953 for over the air broadcast television. that is still for the most part with us. we have 49 channels, television, reserves for doing exactly what they're supposed to do in 1952 for i love lucy to american households. those days are gone. these cable and satellite and the value of the bandwidth is enormously higher to do these mobile applications. in fact, if you say i've got teenage daughters and i say to th

both applicants you have been provided a staff report, a draft resolution, the application, a case report from planning department staff, and a resolution from the historic preservation commission. there are copies on the table for the public. item 3-a is balance owe acafe. the business is a restaurant -- balboa cafe. the business is a restaurant that opened in 1913 despite a sign above the door that says 193. originally a working man's saloon with a saw defendant floor serving sandwiches in the corner. it's been operating continuously for 105 years in the cow hollow neighborhood. the business has become more sophisticated over the years. in 1980, famous chef dangjerem tower came on for years helping to establish a proper bar menu. in 1986, gavin newsom's group being required the calf eye. the menuwas overhauled but still features the balboa burger. behind the mahogany bar, the bartenders still mix the featured like manhattans and martinis but still feature classic cocktails. the second is hayes street grill. it was established in 1979 in hayes valley whi hayes valley while davies hall wa

the purple dots are application not approved locations. so there is anna proved one over here but this is the location where they are proposing. >> they're proposing where the star is located, is that correct? >> a little bit to the south on the market street front age. the stars up a little bit. >> ok, and so according to your department there's no other food cart within a block or two? is that what you are saying? >> i'm sorry, sir. >> there are illegal vendors but from the maps it did not show a permanent food cart across the street. >> i guess that's my only question because they're going to come up and say something different and they don't have another question. >> you may know there are unpermitted food facilities in the city. >> i think that -- >> i'm so frustrated by this because i believe that d.p.w. sets us up to get tortured every week. now, under served. under served to say that this area -- how do you filter under served. i am as upset as the poor woman who operates the restaurant. how do you filter under served? do you, mr.

hmda's goal is to make sure all applicants are treated fairly. but when roberts received her loan application in the mail, it stated she didn't wish to provide her race. liz: there was no possible way the person on the other end of the phone could have misinterpreted that. meghan: i don't know how he possibly could have. if they change all the white people to "does not report," their percentages for everybody else looks better, so that just really bothered me. liz: quicken loans assured roberts it was an honest mistake and fixed it. still, we wanted to know how often lenders are reporting, "race unspecified" data to regulators. we analyzed all hmda data in california from 2012 to the most recent year on record, 2016. during that time, around 14% of all applicants provided no race information. at wells fargo, the biggest lender in california, it hovered around 10%. but we found quicken loans' numbers are much higher, and they spiked in recent years. in 2016, more than 40% of the applications contained no race data. that's nearly three times the st

the applications are moved but we are blocking it. we need to come up with better mechanisms talking about things the regulators can do to unleash more of what we have already showed to come in without the micromanagement of the federal communications commission. >> host: so regulatory framework is sometimes used? >> guest: is hard not to be a little bit facetious in the answer. it's been known to happen and the origins of the system really date and initiative that was not just regulators like hoover and members of congress and the senate who wanted more political discretion in what he comes the political spectrum but it was also the radio broadcasters that literally poured into the broadcasters in 1925. they passed a resolution saying we want a public interest standard to have a license. not just we are going to compete and play fair and the baby antitrust laws. we want an actual exclusion of those companies that do not meet the public interest test in the major companies that have lots of market shares to wide audiences and other co

, those previous fisa applications, this is really incredible.nd he wrote the letter, remember, wrote the letter to president trump to fire comey. so if this is an obstruction case, isn't he a witness or a coconspirator? weisbrod rosenstein in charge of this?id wears attorney general jeff sessions? when is he going to stand up and do something about this? we don't even know what's happened with huber. as far as the inspector general's report, that could come out next year. there needs to be a special counsel according to a number of sources that i've spoken with, there needs to be special counsel in order for this not to be a two tiered justice system. >> sean: so well said. >> there's a reason weisbrod rosenstein has been obstruction congress and in my judgment obstructing justice because he's knee-deepp in all of this. he signed off on the renewal without -- >> sean: of the fourth buys fisa. >> that's right. speaker brad rosenstein is engaged in a row i think is a very deliberate cover-up. he's not on the covering of the wrongdoing at the fbi a

call up the next applicant. we will come back for questions. >> good afternoon, supervisor yee and stephanie. i want to thank you for having me here today. i know you have a tough decision to make. cathy is an amazing leader. i want to share mytor story. at 16 i got pregnant. got connected to the institute to provide the two generational approach. internship and early care and education. i have been connected to the institutedtor 23 years as you client and now as chief operations officer of the organization. i have been committed to early childhood education. i saw the need for innovative approach between ece and k-12 system. ism advocate for system change to use my voice to represent those that don't get the opportunity to express what is working but what is not working in the system. as being a representative and advocate we have made it a point the ensure we offer services to different communities within san francisco. we serve about 350 children in san francisco, two sites. in the bayview valley and one in t

there are pending applications on the other side of kearny in the downtown. pending applications to the south of bush street. so, geography has been served. there is no question about that. if the conversation around access should really be a conversation around the price point, which is none of this cannabis, whether recreational or medical in nature, is affordable to actually people who want to get it. that's where this conversation should be going. but relative to physical geographical access, i can stand here in good conscience as somebody who has supported and voted for and made clear that i would come back for the needs and wants of chinatown, which is not only a physical place, which it indeed is, it is also the spiritual, psychological, headquarters of the chinese american community, not only in san francisco, but beyond. this has had chinatown support from the community tenants association, from the chinese chamber of commerce, chinese consolidated association, development center across all walks of life. i want to show that community that this city,

opens controversial new processing centers for asylum seekers they will fax to track refugees applications and deport those who are rejected critics say it is a death knell for integration and to europe's welters in record temperatures we take to the streets of berlin to see how people are keeping cool. news. i'm sarah kelly welcome to the program we begin with reports of unrest in zimbabwe where two days after historic elections the country's electoral commission says that the ruling zanu p.f. party has won the majority of seats in parliament possibly as much as two thirds but the main opposition party the movement for democratic change has said that it will dispute the official results now riot police used water cannon and tear gas to disperse opposition supporters on the streets of the capital harare troops also out in force and one report says that a man has been shot dead election observers from the european union and the united states have called for the results of the presidential election to be released as soon as possible to avoid further volatility. and our correspondent melanie

the point is the applications adjust the capacity. they gobble it up. what happens is we always think were getting headed again in some dimension to expand our sufficient use spectrum, and we are, but then innovators to get out a way to use those spaces that we've created. and so on the one hand, there's no limit for the value we could get. on the other hand, there are sharp limits and how much we can do at any one point in time in terms of promoting conflict and uses of the same radio space. there are trade-offs to make in terms of if we have more of wireless mobile and more competition between say, verizon and t-mobile, sprint and at&t in that space, or we preserve airwaves, literally set aside 1939-1953 for over the air broadcast television. that allocation is so for the most part with us. as we stated today we have 49 over the air channels, television, reserved for doing exactly what they're supposed to do in 1952 to deliver i love lucy to american households. those days are gone. we use cable and satellite and, in fact, over the top, and the valley

they compete with each other to , new systemsvices and new applications. the example used in the book is in the mid-2000, a very animated company -- innovative company is coming up with what they think is a better cell phone. that thes has a vision mobile devices we are using our they don't dousy, anything, and he comes up with something that costs a lot more, but it is beautiful. it is weak, efficient -- sleek, efficient, and does a million things that the old phones do not do, because he put a phone together that literally has today, over one million apps in the app store. he gets competitors from google heading off the apple version of this, and this all comes into the market. you can see it in the tech sector today, the great ecosystems that are developed for all of these new products, whether the mobile phones are the applications that right over them, -- ride over them, it comes because there is not a central authority, but because it is a mother may i of what misses are used and technologies are offered. you get entrepreneurs being able iftest their

things like requiring interviews or additional evidence to support an application. do you think that's fair? >> no, i mean, i think-- well, there's two points. first, the -- what these employers and these organizations are saying and i want to address the merit of their complaint and then i want to talk about what we are doing. first, with respect to what they're saying. i don't disagree. i think that it is almost certainly the case that employers who -- i mean, i was an undergraduate at mit, so i'm a stem guy and i know what these employers want and what they're looking for. i remember they would come on campus, interview all of these people and interview 50 or 60 people and identify 20 or 30 that they want to offer jobs to. many of those, specially there foreign nationals. it was the case in my day and it's the case now and i can totally understand if an employer interviewed a person on campus and want to give the job to that person and the person does a pt to start working for them and they can't get a hn h 1, and the mean getting a work visa. i can understanding

they compete with eachte wi otho come up with new devices with new applications so the example in the book in the mid- 2,000 is very innovative and is coming up with a better cell phone. and then but homeschool, lousy, they don't do anything then hegt comes up with something it's beautiful it is sleek and it does a million things the other phones don't do literally because he puts together a phone that has today over 1 million mobile apps and gets competitors in the global space to head offn of the apple competition with its own version and you can see it here in the whole tech sector oday. the today the great ecosystems developed while the new product products or the applications or those networks they come in because there is the authority with the mother may i mandate because there is the authority with the mother may i mandatehnd or wh can determine exactly what technology is used or services marketplace. offered competition in the marketplace entrepreneurs to test ideas if they can raise the capital to ca convince so the ls answer to your question isn't mt efficient t it is a lot

we would expect the application and deployment of blockchains will take some time. we continue to see really positive signs in terms of the number of -- over 20 million accounts, blockchain. in terms of the number of transactions, the number of active wallets. those are positive signs but it will take years. emily: what you think has been the biggest risk? you are both optimistic but what you think the biggest hurdles are? >> i don't see actually massive risk. the overall time is the biggest tailwind here. over time, dealing with crypto assets means open financial networks is very difficult. it took a long time to adopt open information networks like the internet. ch, it is going to be reserved, most of this market will be reserved for start up disruptors. black rock are saying that zero percent of their clients

having them move together through the process is beneficial to tractor-trailer equity applicant as well. it allows for their financial assistance or the location at which they could potentially be incubated to move at the same time. when we approach this, we think of it as sort of equity program participants. >> ok. >> so i move to include equity participants in the cb3p program. >> i second. >> second. >> so we have a motion by commissioner ortiz-cartagena and second by commissioner zouzounis. >> adams. >> yes. >> corvi. >> yes. >> dooley has recused. >> dwight. >> yes. >> ortiz-cartagena. >> yes. >> riley. >> yes. >> commissioner zouzounis. >> yes. >> motion passes 6-0. with one recused. [applause] >> thank you all for coming out and never get off that soap box. seriously. you have to stay on that soap box and speak out. because if you don't, the other side will come out and right now we're at a war with the people in washington so stand on that soap box and keep screaming to the top of your lungs. >> next item, please. >> item 4. presentation on the gary bus rapid transit brt and i w
