the reason why we choose college it career already is because san francisco is an expensive city. you cannot live in this city on a high-school diploma. you can barely survive as a city college student to get an associate's degree in the city. somehow, in some way, what we are asking you to do is not simple, but it is important. we are asking you to set aside and to find the funds to make to promises that you said to the students and thousands of other students. we want you to be college ready. but if you fail, you cannot make those courses up. if they get too 12th grade in four years, good for them. that does not set up students for success. that does not set of parents for success when they do not have someone at their school site or the district office to talk to one concerns that we know exist because we have a system that has not addressed all of the structure or racist issues -- we have a system right now we are trying to reform. we are pushing you to make that reform possible.

again, we are in an expensive city. however, what we can do at the board is in sure that we promote and provide for both affordable and middle-class housing in the city. i think it is so important that we maintain our diversity in san francisco and who we are as a people and we really stay true to those values. the large part, insuring something that we want to focus on and i want to focus on, making sure that there are housing opportunities for our first responders to be here in san francisco and living here, police officers, firefighters, sheriffs, teachers -- people that provide such essential services for our community, to make sure they have opportunities in san francisco to buy homes, set up groups as a family and really be integrated into our neighborhoods. to me, that is what we should be doing and, again, something we should be doing. >> let's talk again about transportation in your district. is there adequate service? let's talk about parking and traffic. tell us a little bit about district 2. >> district 2 de

city. now missing storm drain covers. christin ayers in vallejo with an expense the city certainly doesn't need. it's also a safety problem. >> reporter: that's right. and the vallejo sanitation officials that i spoke to told me this is a real head scratcher for them. if you take a look down here, these are the storm drain covers that we're talking about. it's relatively cheap metal that doesn't fetch much at the scrapyard but for some criminals it's enough. >> this is a new twist on an old problem. >>> reporter: one day the metal grates storm drains were there in vallejo. the next? >> in the past couple of weeks we have noticed a whole lot of storm drain grate covers that have gone missing. >> reporter: it's happened at least 20 times in 30 days. five times last friday alone. thieves grabbing grates, sometimes as heavy as 100 pounds, then possibly selling them as scrap metal, leaving behind dangerous gaping holes. at this site, it appears that the thief made off with maybe 30 feet of metal, but stopped short before taking anything else. >> unique. we haven't experienced this before. we have had

civil war but before the rebels made made it to the central square in tripoli to celebrate the city's expensive nato bombing it's obvious to everyone that the regime is falling apart with enormous help and their air strikes we've seen the rebels cheering all night that they are much reminded of what we saw in cairo when hosni mubarak was ousted but let's not forget that up until now the people in egypt are not governed by those they chose as their leaders egypt's just one example of a revolution that ended up with people not getting what they were fighting for and then leave you know those who took over and that is the transitional national council of now being chosen by the levy and people get that council is being recognized as legitimate power in the view of by all the allies that it's been helping. many libyans are outraged by the fact that foreign powers of the century made those very important choices for them nato has been in there. with the mission over the last six months the strike strikes a lot of criticism they killed many innocent civilians while the goal of the mission was to prot

city. it's expensive to be here. i think it's extremely important we remain sensitive to strategy and implementation of making sure the city retains its class diversity. there's always a lot of discussion about diversity in terms of culture and race. class diversity is something that shouldn't be subordinate to that discussion. i want to make sure that san francisco has a working class population. i want to make sure we do not take for granted because we are seen as more cosmopolitan, that that excuses us from not tackling issues of poverty, which there are still substantial pockets of it in san francisco. just by what others may argue. that to me obligates our requirement to make sure this city, being in its reputation of being forward thinking and progressive, learn to -- learn to make sure that that translates into economics so that this isn't a city just for those who could afford it. >> what do you feel like are some of the biggest issues facing your district? >> well, when i came into office in january 2005, a n

storm surge hits and it's a direct hit and the storm surge comes into the city, it's going to be a very damaging and expensive storm to the city. >> part of the problem, i would imagine, scott, is because this is a part of the countryj that is not used to these kinds of storms and destruction. so a lot of these residential homes, a lot of homeowners might not have the kind of insurance that they need, the coverage they need to file claims to rebuild? , that's exactly right. there are some areas, obviously on the gulf coast that see more hurricanes on a yearly basis. but on the east coast, obviously, there is a lot less storms. i think you can see that people are maybe less prepared. and don't necessarily have the flood insurance that will be needed to help them take care of any damages after the storm comes through. >> we are going to have significant damages and we have to wait and see exactly whether they come close to the amount that you have estimated. but against again, scott little, a spokesman for core logic, a data analysis company, estimating losses of $35 billion in the new york metro area alone to
