-- middle-income housing.r lee set his housing unit goal in 2013, we are going to meet that by 2020, and we thank you for your support and your ongoing allocation of resources to make that happen. unfortunately, the 5,000 unit middle-income goal that he charged us with, we are not anywhere close. as of today, since 2014, the city has produced 710 middle -- affordable middle-income units, 710. and we were striving to hit 5,000, so we have a -- we have a need to think differently about how to build middle-income housing. when mohcd includes middle-income housing in our developments, it costs us about $100,000 more per unit because we can't access federal and state funds for those apartments, and so we have those cost constraints that really are important to consider. if we're putting $100,000 extra to put an apartment that is affordable to somebody at 100% of a.m.i. or 120% of a.m.i. then that means less affordable housing to other groups of people who are desperately in need, like people experiencing homelessne

so whether it's educator housing, housing for city employees, housing for low-income communities, of course it's our job to fund that housing, and it should not be the burden of those people to provide those jobs. it's our job. i hope we're not saying that because the educators or school district did not put up any money for housing, that it's their fault, because it's our job to put up money for housing. my first question -- and thank you, director hartley, for the presentation. where's the bulk of all housing being built in san francisco. >> well, the bulk of housing being built in san francisco is d-6 and d-10. since 2008, there was about 28,000 homes added, so that's about 2800 homes a year. the bulk of all housing is d-6, d-10. >> supervisor walton: my last question is just who holds up the rezoning timeline for francis scott key? >> it's -- who holds it up? it's the e.i.r., it's the environmental review. >> supervisor walton: thank you. >> cha >> and in the interests of time, to let the public respond, i'll be very, very brief. when we first introduced this charter amendment, w

housing out there.m just really happy right now that with all the combinations, everyone in this room has been fighting to make sure that we have a right partnership when we are looking at the $600 million, and moving forward, i think it will be a lot easier for us because i think we see a pathway , and i just want to thank everyone. >> thank you. supervisor fewer? >> thank you. i just want to say, in the words of my legislative aide, this is a good thing. i think this is a really good thing for all of san francisco and long-overdue. i respectfully ask that pain -- that my name be added as a cosponsor. thank you for your leadership. it doesn't happen often, but when it does, democracy is a wonderful, wonderful thing that we have heard from everybody, that all of us have come together to work for a problem that has been hanging over us in san francisco and we are finally putting money where our mouth is i want to say congratulations to everyone. thank you for your leadership and thank you all, colleagues

and educator housing and family housing initiative. teachers have been working with several board members since the beginning of this year on legislation to build on, if you recall, last fall's very successful legislation with the south market sally district, industrial area and legislation specifically to allow affordable housing on the sites. overlay zoning approach. we wanted to build on that, and the density bonus programs and apply the policies city-wide to all residential districts, neighborhood commercial districts and importantly, our public sites, public lands. for 100% affordable housing. this is baseline zoning. rezone all up front, don't have to go by one by one, that's the biggest time delay, zoning and the e.i.r.s triggered. a huge boost in what's called geographic balance. everybody says let's build housing on the left side, let's do it, a goal we believe in. money now in the housing bond this november. we all agreed on that. but an entry level question. where, and what sites? we don't have those sites. the fundamental v

housing. in fact, several projects eliminated the sound, reasonably sized units on the ground floor and substituted monstrous two-story pent houses. because the result was the name number of units in the building, we were told that this not considered a loss of rent-controlled units. when obviously it is. [bell ringing] anyone can look at the plans and see that that small unit disappeared. this kind of speculation does not benefit our city. it just increases the potential value of destroying sound housing. on our d.r.s, the planning staff always recommended approval, even after we pointed out that tenants living there now would be displaced. and the commission would say no. so you can see where we'd be without a commission process. the legislation will benefit us all in this room. it will reduce my workload and your workload. [bell ringing] we need clear -- >> thank you. thank you. thank you for your comments. thank you. next speaker. >> hello, good afternoon. eye name is kathy and i work with

whose priority is housing and affordable housing. truly, truly united and we have two extremely strong organizations. affordable housing developers right here in the mission district. mission housing and economic economic development agency. [applause] anja emphasize how important these organizations are. the executive director of one of those organizations because there was a decade, a decade when we didn't build a unit of affordable housing in this neighborhood. and part of that reason was because we didn't have affordable housing developer organizations who were at a stage that they could build housing. now we don't even have one. we have two. we have two and we have a community that is not going to stop for a second fighting for more affordable housing. and i just -- before i hand it over to roberto hernandez, i wanted tos also thank the former supervisor of district nine, david campos. because part of the funding to acquire the site, $5 million, was the first time ever david campos got that money from the m.t.c. it's a regional

many of you know me as my work as a housing rights advocate as tenderloin housing clinic. i'm here on my nonwork lunchtime, very important to state that, to speak in favor of the board's affordable homes for educators and families now initiative ordinance. thank you very much for this initiative ordinance. as a resident of district 5 now, myself, a low income tenants rights advocate and having been low income myself for most of my life, i have seen individuals attempt to corrupt the definition of affordable housing for low income individuals. i am pleased the board's initiative was initiated in collaborators with educators, a.f.t. and others in san francisco and does not attempt to corrupt affordable housing to increase income levels. thank you very much, supervisors. >> good morning, supervisors, james tracy, adjunct instructor at city college of san francisco and also serve as a political director for a.f.t.2121. thank you both the supervisors and the mayor for pushing forward this vital issue around housing. not just for teachers because we really believe that every sin

senior housing. two, the rent needs to be affordable. none of is dispensable in the housing crisis our second demand, which is affordable represent, needs s.o.s. program to make it happen. if the s.o.s. program can only house 30 senior household, it will not help by how much housing you invest in developing senior housing. it is also disrespectful to seniors, it's not solving the seniors' housing cries is. we need both quality and quantity. the money cannot be put on one project, but multiple projects to maximize solving the seniors' housing crisis. [speaking cantonese] [bell ringing] >> voice of translator: i'd like to ask -- do you still remember the community forum on may 8th, where there were over 100 seniors telling you that difficulties in the city. kay hartley said they will bring this back to the mayor and the supervisors. [bell ringing] bell -- i must listen to your opinion and i must do what you ask for. please fulfill your promise and our 1800 seniors' members are now ask. the s.o.s. progr

of the white house. the place where the public can get the closest to the home of the american public. this is even more true throughout the 19th century, when the public was allowed ready access to the north grounds. people weren't shy about coming for a visit, as we can see from this fantastic photo of these rather dapper gentleman lounging on the north grounds, fittingly in the shadow of the jefferson statue, that was a centerpiece of the north grounds. all of this was good so long as they respected the right to privacy, and stayed out of what was supposed to be the private south grounds. what do you think happened? before very long, folks started making themselves quite at home in the president's backyard. this trend really started with a bang during andrew jackson's first inaugural reception in 1829. more than 20,000 boisterous supporters descended on the white house, and ran through before spilling outdoors and continuing the party outside on the south grounds. to be fair, washington was still a yo

but that has been derailed after dramatic moment on the house floor after the house speaker took to the floor, condemned the president's remarks, called them racist, called them crit -- criticized them but the republicans said they were out of bounds because they violate the rules of the house decore um which said you cannot impun the integrity of the president and cannot con tend that he is racist and saying those are out of bounds so as a result behind the scenes the house went into debate on the house floor with top aides and the people in charge of governing the floor debate and ultimately the house parliamentarian sided against the speaker and with the republicans and said her words should be stricken from the house record. so at the moment the house is voting on a motion to allow her words to be kept in the record. we expect that to pass but all part of this effort to move forward to have a vote tonight to strike down, to condemn the president's words but it is clear here, wolf, there was a dramatic moment in which the person presiding over the chamber, emanuel cleaver, stormed of

the whole of the house. to celebrate the 100th anniversary of house passage of the 19th amendment giving all women the right to vote. >>> this is a special place. in this very room sat eight presidents, including john quincy adams and abraham lincoln. over 100 years ago, jeannette rankin of montana walk through these hallways as the first woman ever elected to congress even before the ratification of the ninth 10th amendment. at her swearing-in, she remarked, i may be the first woman member of congress but i won't be the last. [ applause ] >>> we are proof that she was right. since then, a total of 365 women have served in the united states congress. this year as we celebrate the centennial of women's suffrage, we also celebrate the most women to ever serve in congress. [ applause ] >>> we make history today because these women forged the path for us right here in these hallowed halls. the 131 of us women serving here today stand on the shoulders of all who came before us. this centennial is one of the most

only 12% of the housing in the pipeline for affordable housing was dedicated for seniors.have 150 million in this bond to reverse this trend. in addition, this bond measure emphasizes that while we must invest in public housing units and build more extremely affordable units for our low income residents, there is still a growing need for our middle income households. if we want to keep our workforce and new families in san francisco, we must do more to support these residents, too. the need will continue to be there after this bond, but we will be bringing 2800 units online. this is not a small feet. it shows that we can -- it shows what we can do when we roll up our sleeves and put our brains together. that is what we intend to do. after this board approves this bond measure, it will be in the hands of the voters in san francisco. i hope we can keep this momentum going strong. the mayor and the board of supervisors, who don't always agree on everything, but for this one, this one particular issue, we're coming together to make sure this bond passes overwhelmingly and i wa

housing. this is a $600 million bond and it's supposed to be targeted for senior citizens in order to make sure they have permanent housing. you've got re-development rules that's in the city charter that says 15% of all apartment building complexes that comes through the mayor's office on housing is supposed to be for very low and low income and moderate income bracket people and then you come up with a $600 million bond in order to get the type of housing for the people who i've been demonstrating for years under this rule 702 pertaining to redevelopment and housing opportunities, 15% of all buildings is supposed to be for very low and low-income bracket people. if you're to follow your own rules and regulations, you wouldn't have this type of problem and you wouldn't need this bond because those people would be included in the housing opportunity and you wouldn't have this problem in the first place. for example, 15% of the total amount of apartment buildings at mission is 1,500 units. if y

housing. the costs of housing are too high. we know these challenges did not develop overnight. it won't be fixed overnight. it is going to take fundamental change. let's start increasing funding for affordable housing. i am proud to be working with so many members of the board of supervisors to place a $6 million affordable housing bond on this year's -- $600 million affordable housing. thank you, president yee, for working with me on this. it will be on this year's ballot. this is the largest affordable housing bond in the city's history without raising property taxes. [applause.] we are providing support not just for low income households and seniors but also for middle income residents. we are increasing investments in the budget to add over $140 million for the production and preservation of affordable housing so we can buy moreland, fully fund more projects and preserve our much greater rent control housing stock. [applause.] all land through this bond our current budget, our previous sp

the amount of affordable housing is dependent on a toward their housing elements, regional housing needs allocations arena. this bill is applicable statewide. with the only section being those jurisdictions that are already meeting the arena goals. the bill contained two programs, one for jurisdictions that were under producing in the above moderate income category which is 120% ami and above. which is under 80% ami. for those producing, under producing above moderate income housing. a minimum of 10% of the units must be restricted as as affordable. for those under producing in low income housing, a minimum of 50% of the units must be restricted as affordable to take advantage of the benefits of sb-35. san francisco is exceeding our minimum target but is not for low income production. therefore the second program is applicable to san francisco. what is sb-35 in one of the benefits, first and foremost, first there is no discretionary entitlements. this can ten years conditional use authorization. last, there is a timelines for review. there is 60-90 days for completeness and eligibility d

of the house. they really started an effort to bring back in items that would have been there throughout the many centuries. >> i think it is one of those things where the historical consciousness of the residence is something that slowly grew over time. i would say more, in the late 19th century, that is when carolanne harrison was very interested in the china service at the white house. she came up with a plan to display some of the china but passed away before it could take place. allen and edith wilson followed up on the project and made sure the china room was created and that people could see different pieces of various presidential state services. as you move forward, you get to coolidge, hoover, both of which are very interested in the collection of antiques but also cataloging what the white house already had. by the time you get to jacqueline kennedy that is when there is a question about should the white house have a museum standard. that means having a full curatorial staff on board and

i meant the house, the entire powers of the house. investor corridor -- investigatory powers into oversight matters. he answered very early on congress could investigate the president. >> can you point to any historical examples where congress has investigated the president or subpoenaed without a full vote of either the house or senate? or resolution? >> i don't have off the top of my head -- >> a single example where a house has investigated the president without a full vote? i can give you an example. my understanding during the civil war, there was a committee to investigate the conduct of the war. not surprisingly, one of the things it was investigating was how president lincoln -- >> there was no subpoena issued to the president. was that done by the full house? it was a committee of the house. remember the house has changed , considerably. considerably. the house now largely operates by committees. the committees do investigations. >> >> even in the case of committee issues, they have been specifically authorized by the house.

, which is a transitional house. getting the fiscal year, we are going to have to cut that program down to 23, losing 12 beds. gary house is not just the house, it is a safe haven for those clients coming in off the street from being homeless. it is a place where they come in their community. my staff and i work very diligently to assist these clients with all of the barriers. employment, housing, wellness, and education. when you think about it, some people may say 12 beds, that's not a lot. tell that to those who are living on the streets. those who are about to lose the shelter because they are running out of beds, or those that are coming out of incarceration. i am here to plead with you to give us the additional funds to run gary house, because what we have been funding, we cannot hold capacity of 35 youth. i am asking today, if you would definitely please consider giving those additional funds to keep our program running at its capacity. thank you. >> good afternoon. i am also with larkin street youth services.

live to the house floor. o tempo house will be in order. the prayer will be offered by our guest chaplain, rabbi gershon avtzon, from cincinnati, ohio. the chaplain: almighty god, master of the universe, i invoke your blessings today on the members of the honorable institution, the house of representatives of the united states of america. may they humbly serve their constituencies, aware that creating just legislation is one of the seven laws that you, almighty god, gave all humanity through noah as detailed in genesis. almighty god, as a descendant of hasidic jews who fled the stalin regime who persecuted religious observance, i'm especially grateful an blessed to be in america, the country called the nation of kindness by the great spiritual leader of our generation. we thank you for the freedom we have here to practice our faith and we pray for those who still suffer persecution around the world. while legislating, by definition, includes differences of opinion and rigorous debate, i pray that we nevertheless anticipate our shared bright

going to save affordable housing? the fact of the matter is nothing is affordable in san francisco. the average cost of $1.4 million for a derelict house. the premise or the concept of preserving or saving is not going to solve this problem. i agree demolition needs to be redefined. we're struggling to make sure that our projects fit within the definition of non-de facto demolition. in fact, the planning department uses our drawings as an example of how to do demolition drawings. to show that's not a demolition. i still don't understand why this demolition discussion morphed into an f.a.r. restriction. [bell ringing] how does it happen? and why is monster homes somehow related to the concept of illegal demolition? it's really curious. we currently have 31 projects in our office. my colleague michael morrison, an architect, in my office, will show you some statistics that will show you how our project load will be affected. and basically the f.a.r. restrictions is a very suburban concept. i don't think it applies and i

unfortunately, the market does not produce housing for middle income housings -- houses. we are also -- we don't see funding sources to meet the need for building middle income housing. the city is a critical source of funding. we provide a critical source of funding for building middle income housing. providing first-time homeownership opportunities for low income households to be able to purchase a home and stay in san francisco. we have an affordability gap in the bond would be helping with that. the $30 million for the middle income housing category would go towards the creation of new affordable housing opportunities for middle income households with assistance loans, purchases for building or land for new construction that would serve middle income households. we would prioritize down payment systems, loans for first-time homebuyers and also we have a teacher next door grant program that serves the san francisco unified school district educators. this would be serving households between the 80-175% and 200% of the ami. this new category of funding under the bond is

chairman cummings asked the white house to produce emails of white house officials july 1st, 2019. three weeks ago. the white house, and abby wolf, attorney for ivanka trump and jared kushner are cooperating with requests from the chairman. he briefed the committee twice. chairman cummings is rushing to subpoena for headlines before august recess, choosing confrontation over cooperation. here are the facts. here are the facts. jared kushner's attorney told us he preserved all records as required by law and does not use personal email or other platforms to conduct official business. following the law. imagine that. ivanka trump inadvertently used unofficial email for official business on a few occasions but corrected her actions exactly as the law directs and provided all, every single one of those emails, to the white house for preservation. furthermore, contrary to chairman cummings' assertion, her attorney explained she forwards all emails relating official business to her official white house account. again, as you're supposed to do according to law. despite this, the chairman i

and i believe we will get more housing in the ground because we need nor housing in the city. [applause] >> so with that, i'm not going to steal the thunder. we have a lot of speakers here today, and with that, what i do want to do is invite our lovely mayor to come up. she has the values and tgumptin to make affordable housing in the city. i invite you to come up to say a few words. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, cynthia. it's so great to be here with you because john, we know this project was a long time coming. we work hard in this city to try to repurpose this whole waterfront. some of you were around during this '89 earthquake. i certainly was. i remember when this used to be a water way, and look at how beautiful our waterfront has become with a lot of businesses, a lot of housing, and here is an opportunity to provide 178 units of affordable housing for families and seniors. this is absolutely amazing.

what coast that mean with house rules? that means within two legislative days the house has to take up the resolution of impeachment. what are the option sns necked have up and down vote on the impeachment of president trump. try and table the impeachment -- those impeachment articles or they can try and refer them to the judiciary committee. the bottom line is this. house democratic leadership does not approve of what al green is doing right now. they want to go through their own process. speaker pelosi made clear she is not in favor of impeachment up to this point. what any will attempt to do is remember it to the committee. or table the resolution. they have tabled past rlss of al green. ner likely considering this are referring this to the judiciary committee. however they will be a vote on that. it's procedural not up or down vote on kbeep are impeachment. up or down vote on whether to table or move to the judiciary committee. this is not up or down vote on impeachment. what al green did right now is not what the demo
