while the federal government doesn't break down those numbers for big cities, the feds do keep records of fatalities by city. and despite a string of deaths like this one involving a 17 year old driver, the reality is these kinds of incidents are relatively rare here compared to other places. of the largest cities in the u.s. only new york has a lower fatality rate of 3.2 people than san jose's rate. the transportation director says there's still much ram for improvement. >> we're extremely concerned that this last year we had more fatalities on our streets than the year before. and that is something that other cities like san francisco and new york city have also experienced. >> and san jose says between vehicles, bikes and pedestrians, 43 people died in 2013. that is up 30 from the year before. authorities are attributing it to drunk and distracted driving. they are still doing a better job in nearly all of their big city counterparts. back to you. >>> good information. thanks. they were once on the verge of extinction, but now they're making a big come back. three peregrine chicks n

no big city except washington, d.c. gets more than 10% of their budget from the federal government, and hud really maybe is trying to do too many things. and in housing it has not necessarily been favorable to cities. we have all these requirements that you can't have mixed use buildings. they're considered risky, and the fha, fannie mae, freddie mac, the programs that are financing most of the multi housing in america has restrictions. for instance, one that says you can't have more than 10% of the building's floor space be retail. that means you need to have a 10 story building to have a mixed use building. that wipes out most of main street america. so those kinds of anti-urban rules i hope julian castro will take a look at those rules. the current secretary shaun donovan did raise the rule on fha condo financing from 25% non-residential allowed it to go up to 35 in terms of value. that was a step forward. i think they realize it's a problem. but there are a whole punch of stuff like that in hud. hud really isn't a b

now in north america, the vast majority of people live in big cities. and in a big city, it's easy to think, well, as long as we have parks out there, somewhere where we can camp and fish and play, who needs nature? in -- you know, in a city my most highest priority is my job. and you know, the average child in canada today spends eight minutes a day outside and over six hours a day in front of a television, computer or a cell phone screen. so when you're living that way, who needs nature? who even worries about the weather unless there's a tornado or some kind of a freak event? and so we act as if these things are really not relevant to the way we live. i remember when william nordhaus, one of the giants in economics at yale said, the impact of global warming is trivial economically. and i think that it's -- >> we now know that's not the case. >> of course, of course. see, young kids often ask me, mr. suzuki, how can i save the world? and i say to them, well, look, the world's not in trouble. we're in trouble, but the world's not in trouble. so don't w

iran has poor areas and has wealthy areas, it has big cities and it has small villages, and the big citiesthe ones who have the best program, and in particular, it's -- i was very, very impressed with the programs there. there is horrible data from karamansha, the doctor did interviews 20 years ago when iran hadn't really started regulating it yet. so it was kind of what they call a gray market at the time, and those donors felt horrible about what they had again through. the money they were given hadn't solved their problems, they were still poor. there was no control of their aftercare. well, iran learn from its early mistakes and so over 30 years, while we were improving our deceased organ donation program, they were experimenting from region to region and over time with how to improve their living donor program. so, i suggest that there's a lot more we can learn from places tehran and nothing to learn from -- but that's not unexpected. if you want to see a shining, efficient, cancer hospital, you good to sloan-kettering in new york you. don't go to some county in mississippi. and -- bu

in big cities like new york, you have got these layers of underground pipeline from water mains to phonen, that all make for a very expensive process of removing and replacing. here in manhattan it costs about $2,000 a foot. but when you get out to rural areas the price drops to about $300. replacing it all could take decades and cost around $10 million. at the current place efforts to replace all leak prone pipelines in philadelphia could take as much as 80 years. and without upgrades soon, analysts say the emphasis on gas may bring more incidents like what happened in east harlem where a gas leek leveled two apartment buildings. the gas main was 125 years old. >>> joining us now to discuss just how sustainable the energy boom is here in the united states, giving the aging infrastructure is michael weber from the university of texas. he is a professor of mechanical engineering. he is also the executive producer and host of the pbs series. there seems to be a conflict between our appetite for energy and our infrastructure. how great a problem is this? >> yeah, there is a gap. our boom is
