, they are, there has not yet been presented to the council, month to month figures, either on the ellis or the regular rentals for the senior and the disable and that comprehensive report, probably lacks data for more, like, for instance, the number of legal entities that defend the right to end the evictions and the tender loin, housing and the legal assistance for the elderly and i am not sure that all of the cases have been collated together, into, the big picture, and as you know, from the newspapers there is a lot about the 96-year-old woman the victim, and under ellis act from her unit and that data, probably will be compiled if there is going to be funding for eviction, or a defense, or can i, and i would recommend that, that that be, an item for the coordinating council, and they will look at the big picture and because i think that no one is really looking at it as it effects each individual, and it is pretty critical, whether they are evicted because of ellis act and the real estate values going up or evicted because they leave the sink on or the bathtub running and that i thi

middle a a eviction crisis in san francisco we know that landlords and homeowners are abusing the ellis act to rid tenants and make more money through airbnb we recently discovered the new condo owners don't live in san francisco they're indeed renting their unit as short term vacation rentals and now $11,000 one nor over $12,000 on an airbnb true the data we've been collecting we're finding a number of evictions are take place in the mission and castro neighbors they're being hard hit we need stricter regulations on enforcement already on the table we know that tenants don't know their rights and the city needs to enforce the regulations better and allow organizations like the tenant union to sue the landlords if their abusing their rentals and we need to look at other subletting it's not going to solve our crisis. >> i'm with the san francisco tenants union one of the things i want to echo my concerns about enforcement there should be a measure to include the right of action for the nonprofits and citizens to enforce those laws it's clear that dbi and planning will not have the resour

ellis didn't say.o, establishing religious freedom, establishing religious freedom explores the lived experience of the statute in the old dominion and its prolonged and exhausting arguments -- and they were exhausting -- for church-state separation. 19th century virginians were largely evangelical protestants who wanted their society to maintain a christian culture in areas such as marriage and education. so should the state permit divorce? the bible forbids it. to allow divorce and remarriage places the state in opposition to the express command of christ's in the new testament. and certainly at violated the anglican tradition embedded in virginia's colonial history. it required this explosive issue of interracial sex before the legislature finally approved a single divorce, its first divorce, and the beginning of the 19th century. and not until the 1850's did the state constitution make provisions for the courts to handle divorce. church-state? or even more explosive, the area of education. educatio

by the time that immigrants came through ellis island, there were more rules.t be sick or noticeably sick, doctors were supposed to check for 60 symptoms of disease but they had only a few seconds to decide. so they asked children their names to the if they were deaf or dumb. but you can't order limped, you might be turned away or quarantine. 3000 immigrants died on ellis island while they were quarantined. in all, many were sent back. most got in. but racism still prevails. but if you are white and from europe, you probably got in because my parents got in. germany in 1930. today, we have many more rules. you can come legally only if you're related to someone already here and you have a rare job skill or if you come from the country that spends almost no people to america. there is no rule that allows the 10 million immigrants who are already here illegally now to bring their kids in. and that leads us to the current crisis. thousands of kids pouring across our border. fewer now than it has been at the peak of you will months ago. what should america do about
