-- [inaudible] and the guideline for outdoor balcony. those are the buildings. the open space is the next broad category. i will go through this fairly quickly. the idea in general is that every resident is within a short walk of some open space. i am pretty sure there is not point in the project where you are not more than a block away from some form of open space. what we have done is try to take a series of spaces that are in roadways and roundabout circles to try to collect those left over spaces to gather them up with one concentrated area, so that they become usable for people. it really isn't necessary where families -- will start to gather up spaces and create open spaces and it becomes the kind of place. there are six neighborhood commons. there are four on the west side. it becomes particularly important because it becomes places for residents to live a little bit further from the retail street. the requirement is about 0.35 acres. it can be designed for there to be a minimum size. each one of these six, pretty much every resid

today they were hanging out of balconies, watching from windows. we watched people cheer as young people tried to climb trees, as a matter of fact, along market street to get a better view. once people had successfully reached the limb they were clinging to, people were so anxious to cheer, that these wild cheers would ring out once they had reached their destination. it was just a fun, fun day in the city of san francisco. >> it was. >> that's for sure. >> and some of those people had the best seats in the house from the balconies. it was tough to even get your special space on the ground with an estimated 1 million people coming to see the celebration. >> what was it like to be a fan? joe tells us about that. >> reporter: it was a perfect day for a parade. the kind of celebration that comes along maybe once in a lifetime. >> it was amazing, man. how many people do you think are out here? like a million? 2 million? >> reporter: enough people they climbed every available perch for a glimpse of their giants heroes. >> like in their normal clothing,

. >> from this balcony, it is a 50-foot drop. this is the extraordinary story of a little boy who defied certain death. bouncing from this awning and into the grateful arms of a total stranger. the man who saved him is a doctor. he is a keen sportsman. imagine the pressure of making this catch. >> at that moment, you don't have time to think. i'd just had enough time to check was in the right position. this was just a reflex. >> the story is more remarkable than it might first appear. not only was the doctor in exactly the right position but ordinarily this awning would have been folded away. it was a bank holiday and the cafe was closed. it was only left open because the mechanism had jammed. the child's parents had left the boy with his sister alone in the family apartment. it was only the quick action of a neighbor that prevented the little girl from following. >> my brother clambered over the balcony. you can imagine the horror of the parents when they finally returned. the parents have since been detained on suspicion of chi

for a balcony, what you would expect to see is half inch tempered glass. and that's really not very expensive. and but the thing there is, you're going to have to probably do it in pieces so that, in case one of those pieces broke, you'd still have that handrail that goes across the top of that, keeping you back so that you aren't falling over with the broken glass. >> right. and the code talks about other types of protection. you can't just have a single piece of glass, without some other type of protection, and it's in this handout that you have here. >> that code may change with the advent of special materials. eventually, we will come and say -- and it's been supplied in different cities, where we take a century -- it's called century guard, whereas there is this piece of plastic in between a couple of pieces of one eneeled, and one heat treated and the other tempered, so that even if it broke it stays together and stays rigid. so there really isn't reason then for that top handrail. >> the building code in san francisco says that we can approve produc
