miss hester? >> we're microphone. >> it lost the thing. >> i have a -- i'm going to show a schedule fof us, andr u have copies for you, but i'm going to do that on the overhead. >> all right. you've got five minutes. >> sue hester, sfrg. projects in the tenderloin, especially residential hotels, don't get the notice that people in the residential neighborhoods get. the first hearing, the first notice on this hotel was in coordination with the hpc hearing, and at that point, because i got one -- i get weird notices. i got that, and it asked for d.r. -- asked for review, a hearing by the hpc. and after they acted, i filed for d.r. as part of our team. this is a residential hotel, and the tenants were all eliminated by the owner, and -- to do rehabilitation, and there's a provision in the residential hotel ordinance that allows for temporary relocation while you're doing work. he emptied the hotel out. my schedule has the wrong date. it was the -- it was emptied out by the end of 2012, so they emptie

hester flicked her tail. on the way out i checked the mailbox one last time. inside was a book a friended had recently mentioned to me, "wall flower at the orgy" with a sticky note on the front that said take good care. i put the book on top of one of the boxes and made a final run to campus to return my student papers, and then hester and i headed south. for hours we wrote past snow-covered fields until finally the ground became wavy again, then rocky and jagged. twelve hours later, we hit the smokies. it was dark outside, a misting rain as we zigzagged through the gorge outside of knoxville. fog hovered over the highway. i turned on the defaster -- defroster, and as we crossed into north carolina, i could hear my grandmother naming each community along the way; jonathan creek, crabtree, newfound gap. they were places she had known her entire life, places she understood in relation to her own life and the people she had known. she had cousins who lived in crabtree, in-laws on newfound. she could tell you the weather simply by looking out her living room windo

miss hester. >> sue hester. at 870 market, the flood building. this is the second project within a block and a half of my office. i was here on 56 mason two weeks ago, and i approved it. the buildings and the block -- the 900 block of market street was full of nonprofits on the south side of the street as well as the north side of the street. because the planning department had a vision of market being turned over to the tech industry, there was a lot of change that happened on there. i don't have any objection to this being changed to office above, because it'll be hypocritical because my office is above retail in the flood building, but i do have a couple concerns. one is that all the building permits for the build out be explicitly routed to the planning department. there's a lot of gamesmanship that happens in the city between projects that do permits that only go to the building department, and this one, everything needs to go to the planning department to make sure that it will what was told you by developer in 2010 is followed in 2018. we

miss hester, what would we do? >> to the planning department. not to us. >> but over the counter, miss hester, they come in, what do you think they should do? >> part of it is figuring out how much of the scaling is going on. for this permit, probably not for this permit, but for this building. they add in the residential hotel, a karaoke lounge with all kinds of karaoke in the basement. that's not a normal residential hotel amenity. it's a tourist hotel amenity, quite frankly, so how much upscale planning is being done? the planning department should know how much. >> i think that's something we should talk with dbi about. >> if we could just add that back to the motio-- report bac motion. >> upon occupancy? >> yeah. >> upon occupancy. >> is that all right, commissioner koppel? >> very good. shall i call that question? >> please. >> so commissioners, there's a motion that has been seconded to take d.r. and approve the project, recognizing and conditioning the voluntary offer for rent rates for those reoccupying and a required report back update

. >> sue hester. i would like to thank espanola's family for speaking out today. the planning commission needs to hear from communities that are being run out of the city and the flower mart vendors need to be heard, as well. i want to talk to you about the mission. on -- 11:00 on monday, on mission local, the issue exploded about 1266 hampshire, and i couldn't hear what you were discussing prior to me coming in because i was out in the hallway. but this is the oldest house in san francisco, and displacement of families that are non-english families or latino families that have lived there for 30 years. that is what is happening week by week on the mission. that is why you have arrested people from the mission. i along with a lot of people from the mission participate in the eastern neighborhood's planning process. no one was talking about this level of massive displacement happening as part of the eastern neighborhood's plan. the planning department changes the industrial areas of the mission, and the process we have right now has broken-down. the planning depart

misse miss hester. >> sue hester. i will go back to 1979 to 19 # wi# -- 1985, when she was mayor. we spent about five years in a planning process that the planning department led, talking about how to expand jobs downtown. what is the need associated for transportation, what is the need associated for housing? and there were two papers that had full-time people at the planning commission covering it every week, and we had the progress, which was weekly. and we had a very livly, put it mildly, planning discussion from the public forcing the planning commission to do more than they were doing. and out of that came an expansion that was substantial of office corps and commission development south of market, and over the opposition of the may yosh, a housing fee, child care fee, and a transit fee, all of which came from the committee on this side of the aisle. some of the planning commissioners went along with it. but they couldn't expand the demand for housing and for transit and accommodate only the developers. they had to do both, and that eventually resulted in prop m on the novem

robertson from northern trust asset management, and jim cielinski from janus henderson ndersonce hesterors. through the week, one of the big stories over the last month has been the drift higher, real aggressive rip higher in libor. what are your thoughts? -- what are your thoughts on what is happening with short-term borrowing cost and libor more specifically? ms. aronov: libor moved up to about 2.3% and we have seen a floating rate product perform well on the back of that. floating-rate loans have run a dutch are one of the few sectors here today that posted positive -- are one of the few sectors here today that posted positive returns. credit expansion security is another pocket, and securitized market has also got floating-rate, probably a bit lesser-known because it's a new market but the idea the basically the transfer risk directly to investor from fannie and freddie's balance sheet, and it's not entirely surprising that libor is moving up. there are some murmurs out there about this eventually signaling some sort of risk in the financial sector, perhaps related to european banks

plus senator john hester. why is he promoting president trump in his latest campaign ad? >> washington's a mess, but that's not stopping me from getting bills signed into law by president trump. prudential asked these couples: how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. big thinking in the finger lakes is pushing the new new york forward. we're the number one dairy and apple producers in the eastern united states supported by innovative packaging that extends the shelf life of foods and infrastructure upgrades that help us share our produce with the world. all across new york state, we're building the new new york. to gro

before hester modi was prime minister, , , , , , ,t of a governor here, of the state of a western state where there was a massacre of muslims in 2002. he was chief minister of the state at the timimimimimimimimio prevent the massacre. there were various accusations, various court cases that later came out with different decisions around it. 20, he was005-t not allowed in the united states. one thing that changed his diplomatic isolation, but the fact he was doing well in the polls and he would later be elected prime minister in 2014, but also modii is widely seen as a pro-business leader. he's a right-wing leader, but also very pro-business. as seen as someone who is going to drain the swamp, as it were. but one of the people who were key in turning around modi's diplomatic isolation was the man who organized the delegation in 2013 just before modi became prprprprprprprprprprprprprprprp? >> there were several hundred muslims killed in 2002. it is a long, complicated story, but the tragic part about it is that many of the survivors and those -- the families of those who were killed are s

hester talked about this the last couple of weeks. you know, what's that relationship?the buses come first and then the houses. the houses come first. the buses. you know all that stuff. but i just thought it was a very important article in terms of raising the issues of raising inequality in there. i didn't go to any of those. oh, my time didn't start. my husband told me an interesting fact. it costs $12,000 per employee to ride on those google buses, which i think most of us can agree are not always full. so, 12,000. for his point of view, it was like gosh, these people are geting this tax-free benefit. but it's also to think about the $12,000 per employee that these companies are paying that -- how could they somehow benefit the public, overall public more given that the buses have so many issues and so many neighbourhoods. not just noe valley but they're everywhere. and now the chariot will be everywhere. so, there's a little article in yesterday's examiner in the op-ed and that is all i have to say. thank you. >> thank you. ms. clark. >> if we want to see less cong
