this house is known as a greek revival house. it was built in 1838 and you see them all throughout concord. quite a common architectural style for this area. we are here in the par lore. and behind me is one of three tenney in 1852 when he was running for president. he is quite a handsome gentleman and he was known by handsome frank and other one was young hickory of the granite hills since he had the same politics as apped drew jackson. over here on the wall is a copy of a letter that is owned by the college and this is franklin and writing to a friend in the let are arer, they are trying to find a job for nathaniel haw thorn. he was an author and liked to write books and had to support a family. this is an ongoing theme. they were always try to find work for nathaniel so he could support his family. over here on the wall is an order of cincinnati certificate and franklin pierce is one of three presidents that belongs to this organization. this is the first veterans' organization in our country and it was formed by the officers

, low-income housing, and middle class housing is basically a housing issue, per se. i talked with a member of the german parliament the other day. i was asked to have lunch with them and helping the planning department bridge the gap for time they didn't have. and this gentleman told me that housing is a basic constitutional right. that is not quite the case here, and he tried to talk to me and i was a little bit chill about what we are doing with low-income evictions, what we are doing with ellis act housing, and what we are doing with middle-income housing. for example, leaving a unit empty for more than three months in their definition is an intent of change of use. and it's a very kind of heavy weighted decision because that allows, in their environment, people to basically be fined and be fined to the extent that people are really serious trying to stay away from having empty units. if we have a housing shortage for all lower and middle-income housing, then i think we need to start a serious look at the large amount of vacancy that we have in the area of 35 or 4

housing.hank you all so much for being here today. [applause] >> all right. she brought it home, but i want some noise especially because sometimes it gets not acknowledged, the staff of chinatown c.d.c. and board members. wave your hands, jump up and down. i can't name you because we don't have no time. i don't know, man, i love this guy. he causes trouble a lot, but that's normal. sometimes, i, too, but you know, he's home grown, part of chinatown north beach collaboratives in so many different ways, our own supervisor, the one and only, the bearded guy, supervisor aaron peskin, come on. you be nice today, though, right? this is a happy occasion. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, reverend fong. i think today is actually proof positive that r.a.d. is actually pretty dang rad. let me start with just some words of profound thanks. starting with mayor ed lee who had this vision and really went to the right person in the right department, and that is our recently retired head of the mayor's office

and then i had surgery so i am in a special housing but i am looking for housing myself. my entire family are well-to-do but they live all across the bay all of my family. i'm the only one here of my immediate family. i am 64 years old and i don't look it but i am 64. i am a senior. but i am here to tell the city and county about the bay, which i call city hall. i call it silly hall. but i think they will change it back to city hall. i am from the fillmore. they call it the fill no more because we don't have anything. we can't talk about housing and none of that. >> hello. my name -- my name is sarah. i'm with the housing rights committee. this shouldn't be something that has had proposition ten. it only lets the city pass local law. all it is doing is giving you all permission to debate whether you have a better rent control law or a stronger one. it does nothing to mandate anything. in san francisco, this is a clear case of you are either for rent control or you aren't. you can't pretend to be for tenants and against evictions and not vote for this. we know katy tang, y

that house cost in the. one thousand euros to build he paid half unself the rest came from his family he's been living in the tiny house for ten months the utility goes on though he pays just forty two year as a monthly electricity the insulation is would find it's environmentally friendly and keeps the interior cool and some of. our practice but what i found is totally practical about my house is that my fridge is just two steps away from step to the stove about one and a half back to the sofa for lazy people like me it's incredibly practical. so practice. the tony house concept originated in the united states nearly a century ago people started building little houses on wheels to be more mobile now the tiny house movement has spread around the world its fans reduce their material needs to the minimum making a personal philosophy of efficient use of space. what i see is beneficial about the tiny house movement is that it creates a general awareness for the issues that are behind those big sustainability eco

the first african-american elected to the house and seated in the house is joseph rainey in 1870. following him are another 19 african-american members throughout the course of the 19th century. he wasn't actually the first african-american in congress. that went to the representative from mississippi, who was elected by the state legislature. he came in to congress in late 1870. when you think about the revolution that occurs, within less than a decade. so, joseph rainey had been born into slavery. during the civil war he was conscripted into the army to dig trenches around charleston, where he was from. he escaped to bermuda during the war. comes back after the war. plays a political role, locally. within a decade, he is holding a seat of a former confederate slaveholder. the rebel story is the same. he was born as a free man. never was a slave, but he comes into the senate and occupies a seat held by a slaveholder less than a decade before. when you think about the great paradoxes in american history, that is one of them. that they can come to the capital and represent african-

so we of a housing practice crisis. a housing crisis. the city of toronto projects $65 million for their cost. a large portion of which is going into hotels. instead of actually putting our money into a hotel which will be gone after people leave, why don't we invest that money into a permanent building, redirect the money, purchase a building and make that available for asylum-seekers when the influx this year. when they are not here, you can make that available for local people in terms of a transition to permanent housing or even regularize the refugee program as we have seen with the syrian refugees. many of them are put into hotels, instead of actually doing that, get a permanent building or series of permanent buildings which you can house refugees coming through. persuadeeen trying to members. i agree with you. >> my question to you, is that something you are advancing within your own government? and if so, have you offer that solution in purchasing a permanent building for inland asylum-seekers? >> yes. the national housing strat

we are always looking at below market rate housing and affordable housing and middle income housing. we are always trying to promote affordable housing when we can. at all times. but what i don't want to do is hold up this plan any longer and insert things that will have to make us take steps backwards when we have heard this enough and there are so many substantive amendments already, that i think will handle a lot of the problems. i did want to acknowledge supervisor kim for her addressing us today and all the planning and environmental staff involved. it is a long process. we are still talking about steve , right? i also wanted to acknowledge david chiu for his leadership and crafting assembly bill 73. it is very fitting that this housing sustainability district and his assembly bill will be implemented for the first time, not only in california, but in san francisco and in his actual assembly district. that is something to not forget. and thank him for leading the way and giving us the tools to give people what they want. extreme delight -- streamlined housing. how many years hav

kennedy had been to the white house. he reportedly believed himself that he had been picked for the court. but then at the very last minute, conservative staffers in the reagan white house intervened and said no, no. we have a different guy we would prefer for the seat. better choice. somebody we like more. and so this man, who you see here with reagan, douglas ginsburg, he jumped to the head of the line and he got the nomination. and then it all fell apart. reagan didn't get him on to the court. and immediately everybody started to try -- everybody started trying to figure out who they were going to blame in the reagan white house for this political disaster. >> president reagan today suffered his second defeat in trying to fill a seat on the u.s. supreme court when the man he nominated only nine days ago, douglas ginsburg, asked that his name be withdrawn. it was an embarrassing admission of marijuana use that doomed ginsburg. white house officials knew he could never win confirmation. the front-runner to become the ne

very tiny house. we had no electricity, no running water in the house. but, trust me, when we were told to do something, we did not forget, because if we did, we would -- bay major, to put it in your head, that you never forget. today, everything is oh, who cares, enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, what if you -- do not worry -- i will not -- i like to spend -- but also expect something in return. and, people are not focusing, not focusing at home. mostly on the job, you know why? hello darling, did you enjoy last night, yes -- goodbye, i cannot talk about -- now. then, you know, when i was at the white house, i was very -- and, when i hire somebody, i want you to listen, and listen good, because i am only going to say it once. if i have to say it again, you will be taking -- i said, you start at 8 o'clock, to work, i do not want you to come in with a can of coke in your hands, or talk about the other guy, about what you did last night, there is no importantly, if we work, if we are here to produce the best we can, and i need you to -- to do that. to remind

through the white house. and so mrs. bush had made sure that any of the resident's staff that were still working in the white house that had been there in the johnson time were there to greet mrs. johnson at the diplomatic reception room door when she stepped in. and in addition, one of the butlers that had worked for the johnsons, mr. german, was now a part-time elevator operator, operated the president's elevator in the white house, just a few days a week, mrs. bush made sure that he was there and that he was the one that greeted mrs. johnson when the door was opened of the car for her to get out. and the way that mrs. johnson reached up in recognition to embrace mr. german and how he embraced her, is really would just make you weep. but would also, the two last things that i'll just say about mrs. johnson's visit, her last visit to the white house, is, mrs. bush wheeled her into the vermeil room on the ground floor, which had just been repainted under one of the restoration projects that mrs. bush did, tha

there is a housing sustainability district to accelerate housing production. it will incentive to get those sooner. finally, i want to highlight what it is doing to support community development. 60% or $1.3 billion will go directly to support affordable housing, social services, cultural preservation and pr businesses. central soma is providing funding for a broader range of community uses and benefits. the amount of funding in these categories have grown in regard to feedback. for all of these reasons it is a necessary step forward to bring premtuesday environmental and social benefits to the city. we are available four questions. thank you. >> thank you very much for your presentation. i want a brief announcement. you i would like to make a motion to continue our second hearing on the agenda. this is a hearing for 43 for 46. the hearing now on the central soma plan will be another 45 minutes to an hour. i thought in order to be fair to the folks here for the following hearing we not keep them and we move the hearing to be october 2nd. we have no hearing at

and housing being stream lined. we believe that san francisco, including this body, was serious about increasing the housing in other areas. if we were able to negotiate with the condo owners, it would call into question that belief. i'm not here to negate the concerns of community groups who were concerned about displacement. we were concerned about the impact from building office space and not enough housing. i'm not here to negate that. if you continue this, let it not be so you can just negotiate with a penthouse condo owner, who doesn't want his view blocked. >> next speaker. >> this is going to be short. i represent san francisco housing coalition. i want to say the number of units that this project represents is important that it moves forward as quickly as possible. also recognizing we're in a housing shortage. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i want to caution you, i believe this is a trick device to time delay to further give people away and don't giffin put. like it did with the mission rock by the building

he was house minority leader and also vice president.ut did you find from the time that he became president to all of a sudden, people laughed at your jokes more, did people invite you to more things and did you find your life changed dramatically? >> it really didn't for me. i already had my set of friends. and so when there were other girls in my class who tried to become friends with me after me going to school with them for three years, i said i know that story. so i really felt very lucky that i didn't have to change schools or do anything else. and i had a very close knit group of girls that i ran around with. and they really protected me both through my senior high school and freshman in college years. >> so linda, your father became president obviously after a tragedy. and completely unexpected, of course. how did your life change? where were you when your father was vice president? were you living in washington and then did you move to the white house? >> no. i was at the university of texas. in a dorm with 300, 400 girls. in th

and the white house's credibility from the white house. both are under siege today. there's very little trust in the press and there's very little trust among some, anyway, in the information that's coming from the white house. i certainly remember when i was at the white house and when i was bureau chief at cnn, if the president said something or a press secretary would say something that was mistaken or a misstatement there was an effort to quickly correct the record. i remember marlin fitzwater would walk around with his big cigar that he wouldn't light and he would actually walk through the press office and say, what i said or what the president said, let me just tweak that. there was a very good relationship there and he got a lot of credit for that. but we are not at that place now. i mean -- and now there is a very particular and personal and some would say grandstanding environment around this. where do you see this question of credibility now in terms of, again, plugging this into all the technology that we've got and the cameras

the project provides for a range of housing needs including s.r.o. housing. the demolition of the existing building and the construction of the new s.r.o. building brings the site into greater compliance and conformance with the planning code. the existing industrial building is not currently permitted within the zoning district, so it is currently not conforming, and its demolition would include a code compliant project. the overall architecture expression of the project is in keep with the neighborhood's character. the proposed massing will be compatible with the proposed mass,scaping, and form. the imagine meets the requirements of the san francisco planning code and does not seek any additional entitlements or exceptions. a request was received to further clarify the distinctions between what the planning code defines as an s.r.o. unit and what the city administrative code defines as a residential unit guest room. staff has prepared a powerpoint presentation to assist with that, if staff can please get the computer projected. and we -- i have printed some

the house that we live in.we don't find it very harmonious with the house next door. we found that it potentially could be further revised in terms of scale. as josephine pointed out, as well, the fact that we would be removing vegetation and trees that are close to a century old, is a significant change. and lastly, you will probably be aware of this area, there are massive hills. having such a large house could build on the steep hill and rains -- raises concerns. thank you very much for taking consideration of these points. >> president hillis: thank you any additional public comment? in support of the d.r.? >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is i.v. i have lived in our family house for the past 25 years. it is adjacent to the proposed project. right across from the aerial stairway. as the neighborhood group more then divides us, we are extremely concerned about the safety and environmental issues. not just for us before the public. the aerial staircase attracts many, many visitors because it is the lo

housing. i do think they percentage is quite high, to be honest, particularly given the district that this development is going into and the a.m.i. percentages in this neighbourhood. not meeting 110% of rental home homeownership. i understand a higher a.m.i. is very concerned -- i am very concerned about the fact there is an in lieu option when they only committed to 25%. the goal is always that if you fee out to you have to do 33% and the way i calculated it, it looks like back at base, the project sponsor has only committed, at minimum, to do 20% on site. which means the remaining five%, if it is feed out, should be higher off site. while the requirement is no more than 75 units off site, and this is my very rough mathematics, this is not my area of expertise , it should be no less than 110 units off site and we should have a mandate on what level of a.m.i. those off site units are. i have always supported off site but when we do off site, they have to be deeply subsidized. with the giants a

i am from the housing program. we stand on the decision that the central soma plan and supports the appeal filed by the south of market community action network. we are aware that the plan is in accordance or following the plans according to the plan bay area at which, a flawed plan. the area itself is based on a supply and demand solution that we know will not solve the housing at affordability crisis. we are concerned that this will create a second financial district and that much of the growth will be very much concentrated in a small area plan. we are also concerned that the e.i.r. does not address the prop m. and we request the board of supervisors address how the area affects the prop m. we are also concerned that the e.i.r. fails to include analyses of state density bonus program which will allow for developments without guaranteeing additional affordable housing units will be built on site. and one of the development that has gone away with the bonus program is 33312 street which only put 13.5% of affordabl

a senate committee or house committee that calls in white house staff members to testify and ask them questions? >> absolutely. what's going on, is this true, are these things happening? this is the kind of thing that when you have checks and balances and oversight you have the opportunity to have those kinds of inquiries. the people's house need to understand the people's business. the idea that no republican said i am concerned about this and i want to ask a single question of a single white house staff is shocking that no one wants to ask that question. >> i would disagree. i don't think it's the purr vvi of the united states congress to oversee the management style of the president of the united states. >> isn't there an oversight committee. >> i don't think that's their job. >> what is the oversight committee? >> well, the oversight -- to look at policies and what's happening if there are things that are going on -- >> and the administration of those policies. corruption. oversight committees look into a ton of things. >> how a decision process works is -- i don't think it's with

houses. it is a two house compound and one of the houses is divided into two units. not only are these historical houses but they are executed by the family in exactly the way that the family wanted them. the same family is on both sides of this issue looking at this historically. i remodelled one of those homes and it is a tremendous example. i want to point that out as well as the fact that there is a significant magnolia in that backyard. the canopy would be severely or severely impacted by any proposals that would move into the backyard. we want to retain rear yard open space and that is why we are not sliding the building into the back because that would be in direct violation of rear yard open space. our proposal is for a 1,690 --dash 1,695 square foot unit with a creative floorplan floor plan that anticipates the needs of many different potential occupants. the house, and these are new renderings for you. this is a planning commission -- the house achieved and natural which. it is mean

you have a very great house. another house here with mr. pearlman did a great job adding another building. we weren't concerned about the density, we were concerned about the fact that you were taking this building down. interesting enough, this also belies the fact, for lack of a better term, we heard positions on sb 827, local jurisdictions have all the control over demolitions. according we don't, according to what you're saying, so that was, i think, absolutely false. when we have that come back with us, we have to make sure this city at least acknowledges that, that every single-family home, if it's upzoned, is possible for elimination. i think that we can -- you know, we did ask for -- and the other question was, how did -- were the tenants bought out? we had five tenants get here -- i think it was five. most of them were nonprofit buildings. the sign appeared on the building you were going to demolish your building while you're living in here. what happened to all the tenants? they just magically left? >> this is to the best of my kn

and then one time, they call me, december '79, they call me at my house, the white house called my house and said, roland, i'm going to bring an employment sheet and i want you to fill it in, if you don't mind. and also, mrs. carter, wish for you to come to the white house. that was a trick! so anyway, i accepted. and those days, i drove all the way from virginia to downtown d.c. to visit the white house. now, i was driving in a 1965 dodge dart, avocado green. not the prettiest thing to bring down to d.c., let me tell you. but, you know, the nicest thing, those days, they let me drive on pennsylvania avenue. they opened the big gate to drive right in, and they asked me to park my avocado under the colonnade. is that beautiful or what? i say, i start to like this place, you know? if i get a job here, i get to park here every day. no, that didn't last that long. well, anyway, took a tour of the white house, and you should be on the tour welcoming me, mrs. carter, with opening arm, she was so nice. gave me a hug and she said, come with me, we need to talk. so she pulled me on the side over
