commissioner dooley, i think has some experience in that. and, you know, disputes among partnerships, hopefully something like what they are talking about today, some of those folks being kicked into action as well. landlords not willing to improve the property. landlords waiting for a particular type of tenant. let's be realistic about what we are offering spaces for in terms of rent and to the extent work needs to be done. let's find ways to encourage that work to be done. existing tools to address vacancy very briefly, we have been thinking about this for a long time in san francisco in 2,009 for the board of supervisors passed a vacant or abandoned building registration ordinance. attached to that is a $711 registration fee for businesses who are on that register. interestingly, while the united states postal service reported almost 3500 commercial vacant addresses based on businesses not receiving mail for 90 plus days. certainly an implementation and problem there. which brings us to the 2019 vacant storefront ordinance that the board

>> commissioner dooley. >> i have a couple questions. can you just run me through -- i assume this is in place on the van ness corridor. i drive down there a lot. it seems like no access at all for any of the businesses. i no longer shop on van ness. for van ness specifically, that project we did the open for business campaign. there's an ad campaign on our buses quarterly that speaks to coming to the corridor and highlighting if it's entertainment, the nightlife. we did have signage up to point people to where the businesses are. and we can even have banners that say this business is open. and so this project is unique in that it's constantly moving. there's different sequencing happening on both sides of the street. where parking can open and there are times that construction is not going on. signs are up saying no parking. once we see there's no construction, we're able to place a call and within an hour we can have those parking spaces reopened. >> thank you. i think you're speaking to the actual conditions on the ground and how our

and this is when samam asked me, he said, "dooley, do you think i'm goining to live?"aid, "sam, yoyou're going toe all right buddy." , and the next time i look over there, he was dead. i took my hand and put it over his face like this to close his eyes, because he died with his eyes open. amy: survivors of the orangeburg massacre in south carolina. the nine officers who opened fire that day were all acquitted. the only person convicted was cleveland sellers, member of the student nonviolent creating committee known as sncc. he was one of the organizers of the protest, convicted of a riot charge, spent seven months behind bars. he was pardoned in 1993. he would later go on to be president of the south carolina college. ononhe 40th ananniversarary of e orangeburg massacre, dememocracy now! spoke with clevelandd sellers. >>on the 40th it was a clear cae popolice opepening fire withouty provocation. there was no exchange of gunfire. the students were unarmed. it -- what precipitated it was the fact the students on that monday night went down to the bowling alley to try to

greater proportion of whom according to the polls don't support the cause like business owner river dooley or societies in order to to grow to develop they need stability stability is the main ground for confidence when this confidence and the companies investors consumers spend money sell everything into whole everything it's at this moment in stable so at this moment we're out we can say that we are society on whole it looks as if one so again a divided catalonia will not find comfort in the ballot box it's true that the session is to question is the big issue in this election but that's mainly because the big parties are competing against one another over who takes the hardest line against catalan independence at the landing and its role has come to all these events another then another level because it falls like. silence of the status quo on the stability of the of the state and it's a challenge that nobody seems to have any answer for you know not so far i would say. my impression is that this is going to be enough sort of like us they made their situation for a few years the polls p

dooley convinced him to get his votes to eisenhower. eisenhower appoints warren. warren court is history which would not have occurred if not for those political maneuvers. >> her member, the nation is in the middle of the vietnam war. let's look at what was happening at the podium at the democratic convention. >> i proudly accept the nomination of our party. [cheers and applause] >> we have heard hard and sometimes bitter debate, but i submit that this is the debate and this is the work of a free people. the work of an open convention and a political party responsive to the needs of this nation. >> why was 1968 a crisis? dr. brown: because it was not really an open convention. president lyndon johnson had worked very hard in the background after he had stepped down from running to manage those delegates and ensure his vice president, hubert humphrey, would garner the nomination. those individuals running in the primaries and those antiwar candidates in particular, mccarthy and mcgovern, their supporters were enraged that they did not have a way to be important on

>>dooley and it says that when the wtory. >>goes act. ok, so let me quickly zoom in and show you are. all the turkey. the ham look at that they will have a warrant out elbow. those in the fingers and joints today becse there's so much cutting that needs to be done. and you can see they have salad as well so is all about balance here. coming up at 8.30 we understand that san francisco mayor london breed. she will show up and she will start carving as well so let's see how good how well she carved the turkey. that everybody's gifted i'm if i had to carve your turkey daria ease some people would give more than others some look at to turkey yet. it's go back to the 80's to find but you don't use >>republicans who no one uses against a knife. advertising look it up if you want some more continuing coverage of what's happening out there glide memorial and the thanksgiving meals and the silicon valley, turkey trot throughout the morning check it out on kron 4 dot com. we are now ongoing coverage throughout the day and also check in with john tr

commissioner dooley. >> i have two things to report that should be of interest to our audience. and to the commission. after posting i think it was about 38 vacancies last year in north beach. i'm happy to announce that we now have 22 new businesses. >> that's great. >> open or will be open or in the process of opening. four of them are restaurants and 18 are shops and services. and i wanted to run down just to give an example to other neighborhoods how this came out. we still have 28 vacancies, seven of them vacanted a not for lease and one lease but vacant. of the ones that there's two reasons why half of the for-lease buildings are the way they are. first is five of them have exorbitantly high rent, crazy rent. and those are put out there by the two really bad landlords in our neighborhood, that hold their business -- their sites open for years and years and years on end. so that is half of our for-lease vacancies. so it's a good report. and it just shows we can get out there and hustle for some new businesses. they're all unique and interesting businesses. the other part is

. >> while i'm up here if i could respond to commissioner dooley. i hear your idea about trying to give a break to smaller businesses. unfortunately there is a prohibition and state law against commercial rent control. while the city has the power to set, within reason, to say things about residential rents or the city has no power to tell any business with they can rent space bar. which means the best thing we can do when we are looking, is try to look at a particular project and say, okay, those are the development projects that are likely to have small businesses in them. we can say we have the legal ability to have different size developments. we cannot go to the company and say, you can charge this one that rent and that when this rent. we have to hit it from eight less of a direct way. try turning. what do you feel is the purpose of this ordinance? in other words, i would imagine that every legislation that is drafted has some, you know, ultimate goal. what do you feel is the purpose of this ordinance? >> thank you for the question. the jobs h

that dooley said when you do look at the research and literature that does address national service programs in particular the findings are very positive. there was a landmark literature review done in 2004. nothing has quite been done at that level of sophistication. i looked at 139 pretty good studies and the bottom line conclusion of that literature review on national service programs was in the vast majority of cases you have national service program exceeding now or negative affected by 6-7-1. many of the benefits and most of the studies if you say what benefits are documented, the servers skill development, so direct benefits to beneficiaries of the programs, service expansion and harder to measure improvements in quality. it is all there. we have made a promising start with respect to benefit cost analyses of national service programs. there was a wonderful study done in 2013 by clive bellfield, a study done for the franklin project and civic enterprises invoices for national service which found the benefit cost ratio of federal national service programs of 4-1 and that is a gargantua
