they built roads. they sewed clothes. they built roads is in san francisco. this one, i have seen them on sidewalks in san francisco. this is on a retains wall in crocket. they are very seldom markers. cw a doesn't. pw a, almost never. not nearly commiserate with what they were doing. that's one of the restrooms in golden gate park. that's a plaque, carefully hidden. the gardeners prune the vine so you can have a chance of finding it. here's one at park and mont clar. they are using a facility that was built by that. finally, the public works is not well known, but should be. they gave grants and loans for dams and sewage. sewage treatment. airports et cetera. hopkins couldn't stand each other. and were constantly battling. they kicked the construction industry back to good health. the upper right one is the alameda park station. they could not aid the private agencies. alameda had its own electrical system. these are various projects. los angeles storm drain system. they raised the dam. your water is a product of pw a. they built the sacramento water reservo

the south one was bigger and the murphy mill built in 1908. the largest wind mill outside of hol land and recently taken apart and shipped back to hlollhol land and they called me other day and the sprinkler and the building and it's constantly moving and it vibrates and you have to isolate them. sutro bath was the largest swimming area in the world and it was - it had 20,000 bathing suits for rent just to give you an idea of the size of this thing. it had restaurants and -- >> different pools and different hot water pools, different cold water pools. this was for the poor. the rich it their own pipe from sutro that pumped water all the way down to the private clubs like the elk club, the metropolitan club and marines memmal and they had silent watesaltwater swimming pd everyone else went to the baths and the thing to do was go swimming in a salt water pool particularly heated. >> healthy. >> i remember going out there as a kid and by the time i was there before it was burned down and converted to a ice skating rink and egyptian museum. >> her

much of it is things that were built during the new deal. fortunately, they built them very well. so the stuff was really built to last. but, if you don't have taxes to run a state. i expect we will see more of that stuff. i will give you a brief tour that we take for granted. the commitment to public education in all its manifestations. public schools from kindergarten to higher education. there are thousand of new deal schools built within less than ten years. many have art work in or on them. this is berkeley high school. you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. the schools are always telling you that public education can make you better. it should be free. now, public education was fortunatate in california. just in time for them to move in. they build hundreds of schools. seismically safe schools. when you enter it, you go under a copper marquee. enter to learn. we are all this in together. the public service is a noble thing. this is a san francisco school that might be attractive to so eyes. it was a fire trap. they tore these down and replaced them. geor

these are track homes, mostly built to speck homes. built the way they always built. they have a degree of earthquake resistance. >> they have a tendency to pound together and the buildings in the middle survive because the earthquake isn't long enough. the individual at the end of the block is like the book at the end of shelf. they fall over and the next one falls over. >> in the marina. we saw corner believes collapse. >> there are 2 ways to look at earthquakes. i think each one of us wants to know how our house, where we live is going to perform. we also need to look at how the city is going to perform. pat makes a good point, most the newer buildings will perform better. keep in mind, the studies we have done certainly show is that most the vulnerable buildings will be residential. half of the residential units were built before world war ii. we have a very old housing stock. we have the oldest housing stock this side of mississippi. and that's where our problems are most likely to be. >> i going to test the microphone and ask people how you expect your home to p

that were built here.ery few people know that we also had c-119 flying box cars built here. roughly 200 of them were built here in the early 1950s. after kaiser frazer was done with their automobiles and aircraft production, general motors bought the plant. they had lost one of their transmission facilities to a fire. and they saw this plant. it was empty at the time they purchased it. and have owned it ever since then until 2010 when it became vacant after the general motors bankruptcy. right now if you look inside the facility, there's not much in there. there's a lot of the manufacturing equipment left from general motors on the floor. that is slowly being cleared out. once it's cleared out and the power is restored to it again, you'll be able to see that it looks just like it did in 1942. this end of the building was never restored. the other end of the bomber plant was restored a number of years ago, and modernized by general motors. but this end hasn't. the original plant was 3.5 million square feet.

like lincoln park built by the wpa. think of the experiences that people have had and the history which is embodied in them. there is daves tennis stadium. here it is, this was a tournament for inner-city youth. archery at golden gate park. our play grounds. here it is in use today. this is bernal heights park. you can still see the gutters they put in there. this is buena vista parks. this is quezar park. this is mount davidson. look out for the rock. this is on telegraph park. this is stern grove. this is a little known park above candle stick. here's my friend jake, standing by a wall. this was rosy play ground. they turned it into a park and it was also restored by wpa. i believe they torn down the house, which was unforgivable and the zoo is wpa. and here's the murals inside the mother's building. the marina sea walls and great aquatic park. the palace of fine arts. we wouldn't have and a little further in, lake merit, this pier. alva rado park and then, some of you my recognize this. the berkeley rose garden. did

it's what code allowed when it was built. it gets more complicated if it wasn't built with a permit. so it's a lot of resource to try to figure this out. that one sense, would take an inspector two or three hours of research. to sort it all out. there would have to be hearings and meetings. it would be a big utilization of resources. okay. this is an interesting slide. i just was in north beach. there are all sorts of issues in this one little tiny alley. i'm sorry i don't recall the name of the alley. anyone know where this is in north beach? >> water street. >> water street perhaps? there are all sorts of things going on here. there is aye case -- >> (speaker not understood) across the property line and that is a big no-no. >> the building inspection in our office, we have copies of all the historic building codes to go back to. i think we started in 1904 is the earliest one i have in my office. >> there are no plans pre-'06, no permits pre-'06. >> most of the permits were destroyed in the fire after the earthquake in 1906.

roughly 200 were built in the early 1950s. after kaiser fraser was done with the automobiles and their aircraft production, general motors bought the plant. they lost one of their transmission facilities to a fire and they saw this plant. it was empty at the time they purchased it. ever since then until 2010 when it became vacant after the general motors bankruptcy. right now if you look inside the facility there is not much in there. there is a lot of the manufacturing equipment left from general motors on the floor that's slowly being cleared out. once it is cleared out and the power is restored to it again, you can see that it looks just like it did in 1942. this end of the building was never restored. the other end of the bomber plant was restore add number of years ago. and modernized by general motor. this end hasn'tment. >> the original plant was 300,000 square feet. it's now 5 million square feet with the general motors additions. we intend to save 175,000 square feet. so it really is an insignificant piece of the enti

we need an obligation of 5800 units that still need to be built. so with a dissolution of the redevelopment agency, the successor agency was aware of the importance of obligations in this scheme of continuing our activities and almost from day one the successor agency asserted in documented submitted to the state that one of its enforceable obligation in addition to the mission bay and the shipyard and transbay was a replacement housing obligation. indeed of april of 2012 the oversight board in one of its first meeting approved the first rock and adopted a resolution that found that the redevelopment agency and successor agency had a housing replacement obligation to the 6800 units that were destroyed and replaces. indeed the broad statement of these enforceable obligations and the number of units and the amount of money it would cost to replace these units hand about on every rock that has been submitted to the department of finance since this solution. and the department of finance hasn't objected to those broad statements of the enforceable obli

honor folks that built this bridge on this labor day. i want to tip my hat to my predecessors and there is one more and i welcome him but i stand on the shoulder of my predecessors. there are so many people who invested in this bridge and i couldn't possiblyly name all of those involved but i will at risk try to identify some of the key figures. t y end and dennis changing - (calling names) (clapping) i've got 3 more don mcdonald, herb roth man, and clooif. (clapping). those individuals and a many others are responsible for the iconic structure. i'll tip my hat to the contracting forces that built this bridge and 34 are mentioned by mr. flowers but i'll also acknowledge because we're eternal indebted to them the many contractors and subcontractors that made this happen. please give them another round of applause. i'm going to take the risk of naming a few individuals i'll end up leaving some folks out. the toll bridge program is mr. tony (clapping) tony your help along the way was much appreciated. brian has been mentioned engineer extra

the a lot of fences, the retaining wall is built into the building itself. and here over somewhere, top of market is a billion that's been demolished. we can see it's been used as a retaining wall and look up close and we can see the -- so in many cases it's in use. i have a question right here. >>> (inaudible). >> the question was is there a limitation of what kind of material you can use for a property line retaining wall? >> under the building code, i don't think there is a limitation that you would have to use something permanent al volume 2 says it has to be designed in such a way that it has to meet the demand for requirements. there is nothing about durability. so basically any settlement material here's another case where there is an old foundation or an old wall that is being used as a retaining wall. in the san francisco building code it says when you're demolishing buildings, you have to remove everything on the site except those portions of the building which are used to retain other property. that may be the case. (speaker not understood) are of

what he meant to say was 60 to 70% is built and it's at 30 to 40% that is unbuilt. and he said among those, the key things that remain up built are the payment system. he didn't say how much of that payment system and collection system is actually at the heart of this. we hope to get an update from cms during their conference call coming up in just a couple of minutes. one industry official, brian, tells me that's like setting up an on-line bank without a way for someone to make deposits. it is troubling to him. >> it certainly is. thank you very much. another slip up there. all right. if you know the royal palm hotel in south beach or the westin boston waterfront you've got our next two guests to thank. two of the most successful real estate developers in america.

roughly 200 of them built here in the early 1950s. general motors lot of to a fire and saw the plant was empty at the time they performed it and owned it since then in 2010 when it became vacant after the bankruptcy. right now if you look inside the facility, there is not much in there. there was a lot of the manufacturing equipment left from general motors on the floor. this end of the building is never restored. the other end was restored a number of years ago and modernized by general motors. this end hasn't. the original plant was 3.5 million square feet. now it is 5 million square feet. we intend to save about 175,000 square feet. it really is a very insignificant piece of the plant. as they said early, it represents the most significant piece of democracy where the bombers rolled out. we intend to move the museum into it some day. we use it for a hangar for the airplanes that they have in this hangar. initially we are looking at raising about $8

this is the old built line engine house and built at this time and served san francisco waterfront and freight on to the fearies and operating throughout the 90's. >> i remember seeing it when there was a turn around in front. >> and chucking up and down the embark dareo and now converted to offices and in beautifully restored condition. it was restored in the mid80's and a city landmark. it points out the fact that these buildings at some point went on into disrepair and people wanted to tear them down and later generations have a different talk on it so when we think how much buildings are today and even today they might not meet our needs or utility they might have great value in the future. another one and enormous billboard over this and this is at samuel at la contan cont ande cost of construction of $3,000 and joseph nevelo and the department has a tremendous record collection so i can actually pickup up the records for most of the buildings and here is the original building permit for this building, and it's an interesting and unusual fairy tale building which is also another o

the building is built as a palace. not for a king or queen. it's built for all people. this building is beautiful art. those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, san francisco had an enormous french population. therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual. >> jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that san francisco had to regain it's place in the world. he decided to have the tallest dome built in the united states. it's now stands 307 feet 6 inches from the ground 40 feet taller than the united states capital. >> you could spend days going around the building and finding something new. the embellishment, the carvings, it represents commerce, navigation, all of the things that san francisco is famous for. >> the wood you see in the board of supervisor's chambers is oak and all hand carved on site. interesting thing about the oak is there isn't anymore in the entire world. the floors in china was cleard and never replanted. if you look up at the seceiling you would believe that's hand kof carved out of wood and it is a cast plas

trail blazing that the city required a backup heating system to be built with the homes in case the solar system didn't work. it does work very well. it has two systems. one is solar panels on the roof that heat the water. that will not be affected by this addition. the other system we believe is properly characterized as an active solar system and my neighbor mr. ward will expound upon that for you, but it involves collecting hot air, storing it, super heating it, putting it in what we call a thermal box and then redistributing it to the home in the evening hours. when this addition was first proposed we met with the rk architects and they explained to us the shade that would be created and we explained to them and gave them the articles how our solar homes work. they did a shade study that showed in the winter when we most rely upon this heat the two lower units would lose 50% of our sunlight in the winter. this represented a loss of heat and a financial burden to us. a subsequent study by the 1040 broderick street owner confirmed that we would lose heat and actually made us a fin

community and built a relationship. and i know supervisor gonzales knows that because all those years we were building community. and therefore the cultureal component to the mexican museum will be worth over $20 million in core contributions from our core partners. who else would put up $20 million for a core museum that's the kind of relationship we're building. and they didn't stop that. you thought that was exciting how about the $5 million of endowment at no cost to the city and county that's an ongoing reflection. i'm excited to see this stack shape in that 2014 and watch the wonderful work of the 10 architects and i'd like to see all of you the incredible supporters be part of watching in come to being with all of us. and first and foremost i give my great, great honor to thank the entire community of san francisco. the entire board of supervisors and every one of them voted in favor of this. i'm very proud to say that amongst all those mayors that continued this 20-year effort to do so i'm proud to say that one

the eola factor it is built from wetlands. all the generates of frog legs that led to life forms is the california four-legged frog and the san francisco garden snakes when you take the frogs that hatch in the water when all the water is being pumped out when all this water leaves the eggs dry up and die. thank you. >> thank you. any additional public comment? looks like i got it >> with that, the meeting is

it was built in 1963. it's steel and concrete >> there's a difference between structural steel and rebarb. >> it's steel columns. thank you goodness. >> 19 stories and i live across the street in a building that was built i believe in 1920 and i brought my staff here because we want to, as a team, be prepared with our building and the owners who live there. >> so her question is, how can someone find out what they should be prepared for? >> the first thing is to see if the there are original plans for their building >> should they hire someone >> someone need to verify if you are structural steel frame. there's a high likelihood there's a plan. if you are a concrete frame, you have a set of concerns. >> the first thing, i recommend everybody do this. get a complete set of documents for your building from accessor's office and other office in a city and put them in a notebook and you have all your documents. here, you can ask to get all the permits, plans, job cards, sign off sheets. special inspection. get

phase one and phase two are already built. phase three is pretty much done. phase four is the people that -- is the face that people are arguing about. -- the phase that people are arguing about. >> i want to show both of you something. 30% oppose. a vast majority of americans are for it. i still, who wasas responsible for stopping this project? >> you cannot pin point a single person. >> how about an entity? >> there are issues. there are things that are valid concerns. we know the obama administration would like to be -- would like to leave a positive -- a positive environmental legacy. >> i have to ask you. why are the first three phases done? what is the difference? >> it is the increase in production. the additional 830,000 barrels per day. when you have an industrial project, it is not the same thing as being able to see the great wall of china from space. the magnitude of this project is monumental and there are environmental issues that need to be dressed. instead of trying to completely stop this project, i would hope that they would make sure the in

i built family housing in san francisco for over 20 years. i remember the first time i came to the city and i realized it was going to be my home and i feel extremely fortunate i have been doing this until today without appearing before your commission in this process. i always sought to achieve a balance between neighbors and neighborhoods and the city and if my role is done right it have a positive effect on the city, on the neighborhood by allowing new families to be welcomed with quality housing. i work hard to build consensus around the properties in the area. i received support for my neighbors -- concerned neighbors of perine place and california and from the neighborhood association and the department. in order to do so i have cut sections of the building beyond the envelope and have improved design. i have unable to appease the dr requester but nonetheless i design the building with fashion smaller than what is allowed and meet his needs for light and air and given more than the code requires in order to be a good neighbor. i believe

service layer built on top of the protocol yet the infrastructure to support consumer adoption in a in a mass way yet i think the precedent thing to mass consumer adoptions would which will eventually settle out the prize is building a solid foundation infrastructure for the system so that big point exchanges that are functional in countries around the world. world merchant acquirers like who's testifying in the senate as well and of course secure storage for big clients for consumers who can't take the security risk on themselves. things like that so that's the infrastructure that needs to be built out first and i think is the infrastructure is built out and the new service layers for consumer services business to business services things like that that was what will level out the prize now one of the issues that was raised to be hearing over and over again is a question of what is required of whether it is a digital currency or a commodity how do you yourself answer this question it's both which is a little bit of a tricky answer i suppose what big coin is is it's a protocol for movi

that email is built off of being regulated directly rather the service providers and how do you. use those protocols are are regulated now it may be that as we go through this wait and see process which i think is the right approach for the government right now that there are gaps that develop or specific rules or laws that need to be changed to accommodate a new distributed global economy. the best thing that we can do in that scenario is create an open dialogue between the big coin community and the federal regulators in the states and also globally to discuss the issues as they come up and work collaboratively to come up with the right solutions while i this is a very politically correct answer i will push here a little bit on that question i was surprised to learn earlier bad the year is federal election commission sad that big quiet could now be legally accepted as political donations and the question i would like to ask is whether you see any potential for using bitcoin. as a political instrument for example for x. expanding the uterus influence around a wild and a fashion
