louis were demolished, sometimes for housing, middle-class housing or lower middle class housing, sometimes for universities, sometimes for big highway exchanges, african-americans had to go to the only places where there vouchers were accepted and it turned out st. louis, the town of ferguson, jennings, a couple of towns that would accept these vouchers and these became new segregated communities on the inner ring and this is happening everywhere in the country. we get gentrification and historically, we got urban renewal, which in the 60's was characterized as negro league. everywhere we got these kinds of programs, it displaced segregated communities in suburbs. talk aboutple gentrification because it creates diverse communities. it's only transitional diversity. transitional integration because gradually, those communities become unaffordable to the people who used to live there. they can't pay property taxes anymore. move toare forced to these new segregated communities. the program is fine except is not part of the plan of integration. it helps a few people who get those rent to own h

affordable housing doesn't just support itself affordable housing needs to be supported by the government if we if we get you know come to things and think that magically the market is going to fix this you wind up seeing what we see in the united states that members don't have and so out we have a minimum wage that hasn't kept up with the cost of living we have had a traumatic disinvestment in in housing supports in most parts of the world housing is something that is supported by governments and we don't really have that to the extent that we need that so i guess i would counter that that the market has failed here that you know the living wage in the bay area where i live right now is that what we call the housing range where people could actually afford very modest housing would be $40.00 to $50.00 an hour we're fighting like heck to get the minimum wage up to $15.00 an hour something has to give and that i think i'm afraid to say is gonna need to federal investment or investment in housing investment in increase in our minimum wage that we pay people the job that they do and the reco

intellectuals in the white house as well as emergency preparedness at the white house and the use of social media by presidents. so i hope you will take the time to listen, but also to think about buying this book. the fourth of july coming up we have presidents birthdays in the summer, anytime is a great time for loved ones learn more about the white house. karen skinner is in verse of action and scholarly repute she's worked most recently in the white house or the state department of director of policy and planning is served as another of white house or administration advisory and other roles as well as presidential campaign she is also the toby professor and director of the institute of strategy carnegie melon university. there she studies presidency she's written books on ronald ragan in foreign policy as well. we have a great lineup today what were going to do is jump into the meats of the book we want you to get a little sense of what's in the book part of the key points that i want to hear some of her thoughts will have conversation and then we will turn to you prudhomme menti

down in a great friends house that he was going to tear down and build a house. he built next door, next property -- it was his old house. we moved in there and the neighbors all planted the guard and so he came home to a garden. it was wonderful. it just was very nice. we unpacked the boxes all perfect. >> mrs. bush, how important will camp david -- especially during the white house years? camp david made such a difference, because they're the president could really meet with people without a lot of fanfare. a lot of people came up, businessmen, cabinet makers. i remember a big education group coming up and talking to george. i just remember that every weekend. we had meetings and then the afternoons, he would take an out and we might watch a movie or go bowling. they would play a game called volleyball when they wear their, no which they played against the marines, and it's a game sort of like squash and light volley, but a great competition and then of course horseshoes, but it was there that george entertained president gorbachev and many other leaders. john

they are living in the house. he is writing to bess us. 30 years i hoped to make you a happy wife and mother. did i? i don't know. all i can say is i have tried. there is no one in the world anyway, who can look down on you or your daughter. there is no one in the world who can look down on you or your daughter. that means much to me, but i have never cared for social position or rank for myself except to see that those dear to me were not made to suffer for my shortcomings. this is the president of the united states still feeling that way. it comes through his letters to her. almost an apology of -- >> he never felt good enough? >> i think part of that, keep in mind, even when he writes this letter, her mother is still living with them. that is her mother's house that they moved into. they never had their own marital -- then her mother lives in the white house a lot of the time. so it's -- her mother did not the approve. >> and never really thought well of her son-in-law even when he became president. >> apparent

and the things that she was adding to the house.ally have the dichotomy in our collection today. we still refer to the old collection, which was the stuff that mrs. kennedy found that had survived the 19th century auctions and the giving away of official furnishings and then the new collection was everything she was collecting. but, in fact, those things, to a large extent, were older than the things that she already had in the so-called old collection. but she had lots of people coming to the white house because she made the public aware that she was making it into a museum. it increased nationwide the interest in historic preservation and old houses and the contents of old houses and so one of her early acquisitions was this little engraving. well, i'm not advancing after all of our conversations. there we go. sorry. wrong button. this 1840 engraving was acquired as an archival object for the white house collection in 1961. and the engraver entitled the piece all creation going to the white house. because even as early as 1840 the

owned housing. i believe article xxxiv should be, and in fact must be repealed at the state level. while a broad coalition has supported such efforts, including the entire san francisco state delegation, they have not seen success to date. in fact, article xxxiv repeal bill offered by senator scott and senator of santa monica is not moving forward for this november's ballot. we cannot sit by and wait indefinitely for this law to be repealed. i'm proposing with this ballot measure that san francisco lead the way with a powerful statement that we are in effect standing up locally against the structures that have upheld housing injustice for decades. the measure seeks to authorize 10,000 units of municipally owned social housing, where the city buys up land or constructs new housing that is equitable, affordable, and sustainable. to be clear, it does not compel the city to pursue this model. instead, it clears the way for municipal housing, without requiring voter approval for each municipal housing pr

he changed it to the white house. david: linda, what is the fondest memory of your father being president? when you think back on those years, what do you enjoy the most, or what is the best memory you have about it? linda: i think when he went to the congress and asked them, it was bipartisan, he went and asked them to pass massive civil rights legislation. and i'm -- [applause] david: that wasn't easy for somebody whose best friends in the senate were not in favor of it, and had come from texas. why did he decide he wanted to do that? linda: he knew it was the right thing. before he represented texas, he represented his constituency. time had changed. and he personally knew of discrimination. he'd seen it, not just with people who were african-american, but for instance, when he was the senator, our phone number was in the regular phone book, and he got a call, a hispanic in texas, has been killed -- i believe he was killed in korea. the local funeral home in texas, refused to take his body. they said, that if they

he'd get out of town. >> and she was back at the house in alexandria. >> she was back at the house inlexandria. she said she realized for the first time in her life, she had to be on time. that was a life long issue. she was not the most punctual of people. there are those who think that it was a passive aggressive -- it was one of the few things in their marriage that she could control. but in any event, all that changed once she became the vice president's wife. she also had -- she had caused that she was involved with. she had been involved from an early age with disabled children. the washington children's hospital was something she was involved with. but in addition to that, she also had a vice presidential residence that had never been occupied before that had to be decorated. >> and they never got to it. >> two days -- what was it? a few days before richard nixon resigned, the vice president agreed to accompany his wife to the house that he, by then, knew they were never going to live in. but because, if he didn't, the press would have sensed that we're in the end game. and he

the plan before you would allow housing, additional housing and additional affordable housing. about a 20% increase compared to what is already allowed today. the plan provides for almost a billion dollars in public benefits including a new fee for community facilities and it responds for a desire to have input on how buildings will look and what groundfloor uses would be allowed. it provides an alternative. it grants more height on 18 sites but the new sites are not automatic and can only come through discretionary approval by the planning commission. it changes the rules for more two and three bedroom units to support families and restrictions on retail sides to support more neighborhood using and less parking. the plan would ensure height requires payments of all area plan fees cree you see the steps for an equity assessment. thank you a new tool the city is using. this is the first land use protect the department applied this tool too and we're still learning how to apply an equity lens to all of our work. there is not a professional standard yet on how to do this work. the

you say the full house needs to authorize the subpoenas, the house argues that resolution 507 did so. what is your response to that? >> 507, if you look at its terms it as a rubber stamp and a blank , check. it purports to authorize anything and everything that has or will be done by the committee. it falls short of the need -- wronglyin wrongly romley and watkins which at least describes general purposes, general legislative topics. here we are talking about the president. i know three committee chairman understood what they were doing. i don't think 218 members of the house have understood that they understand the gravity of the constitutional question they are teeing up. the court requires a clear statement from congress on separate debts on separation of powers and we say the same thing here. that's in the narrowest way to dispose of this case. >> second question, history in practice matter in separation of power cases, as you know. justice ginsburg earlier cited precedent from watergate and whitewater as did justice breyer. those dealt with legislative subpoenas. can you respond

we absolutely need more housing and we node more housing of every income level. it's easy to say let's not move during covid, let's pump the breaks or slow down, but who needs places to raise our families, we need this housing now. on the equity side, i want to ask why are we only talking about projects in large being built in soma and the mission. supervisor preston, we live a couple blocks from each other and i want to know the wealthy part of district 5 places like alamo square, i live in an apartment building in this area built in the 1920s but we don't build those and why not? isn't that the equity view is that we should be building more housing on the western parts of the city and central parts of the city not just move all that development into soma and the mission. let's get more housing built. let's do it in our neighborhoods. and i ask supervisor preston to show us you can say yes to housing and demolish the ways to zoning we only allow apartment buildings in soma and the mission. district five say great neighborhood to live in and we can have a lot mor

housing. they know that affordable housing at 3000 square feet will not be built. this is a practical experience for people who built affordable housing. that's why we're changing in the legislation today from 10,000 square feet to 8000 square feet. i wanted to add that with this other amendment is making the threshold at 50 feet, that they can also add three stories of density or height to their development on top of the 50-foot baseline height. i think i was very remiss in not thanking my outstanding legislative aid and your outstanding aid. kudos for all their help on this. i think it is something that the west side supervisors are looking at the lack of affordable housing in our district and looking for ways to build. there are 100% affordable housing. some people said it's the thing of the past. we have proven it's not true. thank you chair and thank you colleagues. i hope you will support this legislation today. >> supervisor peskin: thank you supervisor fewer. before i call on superviso

she went out there to paint her in the house and it came to the white house. but i have a note that she sent to julie about her impression of her mother while she was painting this portrait and i would like to read a little bit because i think it is so beautifully captures who mrs. nixon was. she says her mother has eyes that are like no one elses. the eyes reveal an unusual spirit. they are the eyes of the 16-year-old girl with great sweetness and in that expression, occasionally the doors closed and the lights go out. but there is a wistful and missed your mother's beauty. always the feeling of something beyond, desire for the unobtainable. she has maintained a fragile beauty about her life. when she looked out the window, at the humingbird, i liked the -- expression then in her eyes, she still will be despite injustice. i thought that was a beautiful tribute. >> ladies and gentlemen, let's hear from you. we have a microphone. can we break in -- bring a microphone? >> you talked about mrs. nixon's support of women's rights. back in 1972 at the republican nat
