and i'm one of the co- directors of the new berg association. we're often get asked to help negotiate between neighbors and, you know, a house that's coming in for development. this is our first discretionary review. the firgsz first two we were able to negotiate but we weren't able to work with the developer at all he was pretty much unbe available. you know, a lot of times we get bilaterals who hate developed but we have it constantly going on we're only against people trying to get as much as they can and not consider what's going on in the neighborhood. in this case, the developer is putting a lot of square footage in heel sell it and leave and we're stuck with this big building. and then the next lot and others around. we're just trying to contain in this case a 5 story building is so outrageous and to start with a 6 story and come down to 5 we're not dealing with someone 0 who is wanting to have this building fit in. we looked at the plans with bruce but the whole neighborhood has been in support because those things are going to work w in

hanover ended box berg winning streak. won at home. sunday, they face berlin and stuttgart takes on frank for it. all of that leaves the soccer table looking interesting. they capitalized on a poor week to draw even with the league leaders, with an ace in the point of the pace in first. wolfsburg is on the up as well. the managers of hamburg have drop into the bottom three, the only two clubs still without a win this season. freiberg has a chance to change that sunday. the defending formula one champion sebastian will start from the pole position in sunday singapore grand prix. the red bull pilot navigated the marine based circuit in just under one minute, 43 seconds. he waited anxiously at the his magic,iver did crossing the finish line a mere 10th of a second slower. germans complete the first row on the grid. lotus qualified third, followed by the red bull teammate. and the 2013 america's cup is still alive after team oracle won race 13 on friday. a rival team new zealand only needs one more victory to win the world's oldest interna

one indication of this in 1986 i think it is, 76 and early 80s, both justice berg and robert ward discuss their skeptical views about the argument that control is unconstitutional and both of them were at the time quite conservative. but it developed afterwards and conservative jurisprudence on this issue shift. and then there's a series that's a very complicated story, which i don't want to get into here, but read it in the book, a series of moves by interest groups to generate litigation. that is a tradition that goes back even to thurgood marshall, maybe before that hundred years in which interest try to joke that begins it will try to push their ideological positions forward. there is a lot of interesting maneuvering about that and illustrates something about the sort of modern state of interest group litigation and eventually gets in the supreme court and five justices accept the individual rights. that had been developed over the prior generation. >> host: in this context, do you talk about original public meaning, original as some, which is not a very catchy name. but can you expla

the duncan new berg association has worked hand in hand with almost every developer in our neighborhood to work with us to put up things that are appropriate, where people have bought and lived as original owners, people have been living in this neighborhood and i have been there almost 40 years, across the street from me was empty space we worked with the developer to make the building, where susan ku lives set back and keep one of them as r1 so it does not obstruct a single family next door, we met the developer that built the person who is requesting the dr. this is the first developer that has just turned a blind eye to us. five stories and the building is taller than his. on a 25-foot lot is just not right for our neighborhood. it belongs in south of market and it will set a precedent to change the neighborhood to what it is to a concrete jungle and so i urge and and i don't know in the old days, 1987, the planning commission would do a site visit on the houses across the street from this one where the developer wanted a 12 unit condo, and discretion review allowed three single fam
