we agreed to pursue revenue measures to build more housing or protect housing and the housing bond which discussions are under way for the ballot and we passed unanimously thanks to the board of supervisors the interim controls to make sure we're not losing manufacturer and art spaces to commercial office and while we plan parts of south of market. the executive director directive was memorialized by the voters with the passage of proposition k last year and part of the commitment to the voters. this legislation ensures that we the city have the tools and data to understands if we're reaching the goals or how much we are from reaching the goals. how much affordable housing are we building? how much luxury? how many rent control units are we losing and are we staying in balance? this provides the planning department to provide a report to the board of supervisors and calculates the new board of supervisors defined as housing affordable for housing making between zero and 120% of the median income within the 10 year rolling time frame and require that we calculate how many rent controlled

she also housed the truck overnight in the anderson carriage house.but isabell took her tense of responsibility a step further and a lot further than most washington society women did. in 1917, isabell left for europe and spent eight months in service on the front the american red cross servicing a canteen. and working in hospitals in both belgium and france on the fronts. she was later awarded the french, the royal belgian medal of elizabeth with the red cross and the american red cross canteen medal. it was funny because i had read presidents and pies and i was rereading it again a few days ago. i said she barely mentions going abroad. and then a very careful read every once in awhile she'll mention the front or on the front but never a description of any of the horrible experiences and sights she must have seen there. so i think for this book she just wanted to focus on pleasant life in washington. after the war, the andersons were barely in washington. hardly at all. they rented the house out to foreign dignitaries ambassadors and their staff. lar

housing thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> calvin san francisco clearing house speaking in support of the legislation it is critical to get this legislation passes it is critical to move on a resolution of this issue it took us almost 35 years to recognize that market rate housing as an impact on the transit system and we will today or very soon see a study or nexus study to propose means an actual fee on market rate housing to pay for the transit impacts 6 years ago kaiser did a nexus study for the inclusionary zoning has a more affordable housing and the construction of market rate housing that for every one hundred units of market rate housing the kaiser marston study found a demand was generated for the workforce that provided services to the overwhelmingly condominium associations that represents one hundred percent of all market rate construction in san francisco and the demand was created for 20 units i unions a units of affordable housing to house this workforce that housed the workforce there'

and this balance will be calculated based on a metric the ratio of affordable housing and all housing development bans the 10 year period and also the bio manual report the breakdown of the affordable housing and the income and thank supervisor kim for accepting the planning commission recommendations for modification and first was the change of dates by which the reports will be published which is march to september 1st, i noticed you mentioned august 1st, you modesty want to maintain the six months september either one will work and the second to modify the requirement for visitation of the report to all geographic bodies all that have geographic per data the recommendation will work if adding upon request and the modification plan areas as the geography to report the housing balance thank you i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> do you have any other. >> no, i don't have questions for the comments any comments from the committee members. >> seeing none why not go to public comment and we'll accept the legislation. >> i'd like to open up for public comment we moved quickly for

and encouraging housing activity. we are do you see the more recent turning point in this development? >> guest: well i think the key turning point here at least from my perspective, was 1992 when congress adopted something called the affordable housing goals. they were under a great deal of pressure at the time to make sure that the borrowers who were below the median income or low income borrowers had credit for mortgages, and many activists in support of those borrowers in those communities pressured congress to do something that would provide much more credit to those groups. congress adopted the affordable housing goals which required fannie mae and freddie mac the schools were old applicable to any and pretty and require them when they buy mortgages from frank's -- banks and other originators to make sure of the mortgages they bought, 30% have been made to people at or below the median income. the authority to require a certain quota was given to the department of housing and urban development at that point, and

housing projects? >> you're speak egg about 2012 when the housing trust fund was created through proposition c, we designed it in a way that it would be used quite significantly for hope sf and that was expected along with other traditional affordable housing. what has changed since then is the so called rad envisioning program which was not anticipated until 2012, it was created about a year and a half ago and it has a heavy price tag to it and that was then programmed into the housing trust fund because of the available funds and that -- there's no other way to do it when the pie is shifted, it comes from another program and those use of funds, that's specifically what we've been speak tog and i think frankly this is a time to increase revenue televising's other revenues out there, we may be able to carry the envisioning program without it coming with a tradeoff with our other affordable housing but the hope sf program was always envisioned under prop g. >> the way i see seat 2 is a position to advoc

you can also see there was no front house yet, however the house that is discussed here was aurd there. i lived there for 17 years. i'm 70 years old and i'm a writer and take care of my grand daughter who is 2 years old 2 day as week and do a little bit of [inaudible] to make ends meet. this life of mine will be gone once this major coninstruction starts next door. i have to say i'm not gaens renovation. i think the house needs to be renovated. there should be a garage and old and new combined, but inway it is done here is still tripling the size of the foot print and basically digging 25 feet into the ground. i think that is not what should happen. i grew up in a 500 year old farm in germany where lots of renovation was done always thinking about the old and new and how it fits together. this historic context and history was always prevailing. you always want to preserve the old somehow with adding the new. i wish that this would be done here in this case too, but i don't see it. there are 2 huge boxes in the back especially the one that i will have to look at and it will stair back a

i wish someone would make it easier for more people to build houses so we wouldn't run out of houses. now is the time to take action to make it easy to build houses and not stand in the way of us expanding our capacity for people. another consideration is neighborhood character so for people that have housing security neighborhood character means a cute neighborhood but for the rest of us, for 70% of san franciscans who rent instead of own neighborhood character means fear of eviction, crowding, living in substandard conditions, living hand to mouth and the associated strain on personal lives. that is the character of san francisco neighborhoods right now and yes, you could oppose the project and preserve the neighborhood character if that's how you want 70% of us without housing security to live. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. a translator is on the way so anyone else that wants to speak that doesn't need a translator please come forward. >> hi. i think that sonia touched on i lot of important issues and one of the core things to remember this was over a million dol

house. not a small thing. people can feel good about coming to the white house correspondents dinner every year. in buying those tickets they are saying to the white house and other government officials we back these people. we support them. that helps us. we deal with the white house every day. we have a duty officer on call always ready to take a call from a journalist who is having a hard time getting access or member of the pool who can't get the full pool into a event with the president and the fundraiser. we only stand ready to do that job. it does make a difference when people come and show their support. that is what i love. announcer: that was christie parsons of the tribune company. margaret carlson, he used to watch frequently on cnn, she was with time magazine for a long time, and now is a columnist with bloomberg view, she spoke to c-span about how she feels about hollywood and the white house correspondents dinner. >> bringing in these people, it brings attention to them outsid

and then housing prices.plaining when housing prices around here broke $100,000 for a suburban ranche1 house. >> stillq the growth of silicon valley hasn't always been conqrstent. east palo alto is down thex# @&hc& street from facebook's headquarters but feels its residents work there.de >> east palo alto was always an anomaly because it never really developed the samei] kind of infrastructure that we saw in the rest of the towns of the south bay. it neverok participated in the boom. >> east palo altoe1 may be one of the last few affordable places in the valley. >> that's changing. it has to ch9n9ñt( first of all, there's too many people trying to get into this town. all you have to do is go out on 680 in th-lp morning and lookjf at the traffic trying to get intoÑ.' silicon w3valley. >> already the median home price in east palo alto is nearl?á qok $550,000, up 16% in the last year. inçó unnyvale and mountain view it's double, at $1.2 million. in cupertino the median home price $1.6 million. the valley has at

and four of those families ended up in permanent housing at mercy housing at 84th street. since i have work with the families for over a year, and i have been in discussion with the teachers and how this has affected their behavior. and able to do well in school. to focus. they show up on time. they come to school ready, prepared, fed, awake. so the impact is really, really significant of housing. even in comparison to the shelter, that is oftentimes stressful and temporary environment. i want to add that the impact on kids is significant and it shows and a lot of providers see that. thank you. >> thank you. >> buenos dis on -- dios, and good morning and grits, yesterday was earth day and we know that a million people were killed in rumania, and that's what you call homeless. it was ronald reagan in 1986 that let out the napa valley people and went to the government and started this word what we call homeless. you know what? no one was born homeless. homeless is a state that our government and people want to incarnate as something as terror. today i heard you talk about se

in 2014 the city funded housing subsidies to help long-term survivors to remain in their current housing. while i agree with my wonderful executive director, this is a great start, but the city must do more. preventing homelessness for all individuals living and aging with hiv/aids is really the best strategy in our current housing crisis. i am here to pledge right there with bill, pledge my support of immediate subsidized financial assistance to more individuals living with hiv/aids who are facing imminent and dramatic loss of income resulting from the loss of their private ltd income. thank you. >> thank you very much. okay, colleagues, at this point we will move to public comment. mr. chairman, may we do that? >> yes, let's open public comment. >> i have a few public comment cards. public comment will be two minutes. paul followed by richard goldman, newton butler, momte hill and ryan basinger. >> thank you, supervisors, for this opportunity to speak on this issue and for everybody who has done so much work in bringing it to our attention. i am a long-term survivor, i was diagnosed in

in 144 for $250 what is that house worth today it maintenance to sell the house and go somewhere else. >> thanks. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm chris from the equality center supervisor kim i urge you to support in legislation i think that so bill housing program we provide access to housing citywide for low income and middle-income residents our growing population is actually it is very diverse in terms of the different types of persons not only the people are qualify at the ami it is different restrictions e.r. restrictions and the types of resources in terms of finding assisted living as well as having caregivers notify in with them we need more data it is fair to assess for different reasons and for access to hours for us we would like to be part of the hope when people come to our doors to provide ways to show them what's happening over time and what happens in the future so they have at least some assurances they're part of - they couldn't lose hopeful e hope essentially it is important to have data something you and your offices can bring to the table when people come

senior housing i'd like to thank mercy housing for giving me an affordable place to live a wonderful place thank you (clapping) and especially thanks to vera haile housing (clapping). >> all right. thank you very much jackie and so by way of of closure we're going to have a brief encounter for some of the folks for the speakers on the deck there's going to be tours and a little bit of a buffet lunch we hope you'll stick around i'm scanning to make sure i'm sure i forgot someone i'm going to have a will with the fact i'm sure i forgot someone i want to (calling names) are the staff that will be running the building for mercy and going a wonderful job marissa grew up in this neighbor the mercy staff are incredibly dedicated and incredible strpdz and for the residents i'm happy this opportunity is here i hope you'll share your steroids with that i want to thank everyone for your time and keep yourselves part of the movement and hopefully st. anthony's and mercy are good stewards as well have a great day i'm derek, i'm hyungry, and ready to eat. wthese vendors offer a variety of the stre

not have to be this white house but any white house where there is retaliation command he was seen on television. and then afterward i was fuming that day. i said in my seat. i could not believe it. i could not believe what had happened. i sat there. the next thing i see the doors to the press office open kind it was bill burton as robert gibbs deputy press secretary said come here. i said no. he was shocked. but i said okay. i'm coming. i just did not believe it. what did i do wrong. i asked i asked a legitimate question. and what happened in my mind -- and relatives and i have come to an understanding and have a decent relationship now but to my understanding of his loyalty there. i supported one another. they were very loyal. there was a faux pas that cause a security breach of the white house. >> host: did you go up and see robert gibbs at that time? >> guest: i did. there were other people in the room. i remember telling me i owed i owed an apology and i said for what. if i did anything to offend the first lady i apologize the people are telling me and i'm getting e-mails and tex

amount of housing production isn't a impact on housing prices because we never produced enough housing to keep up with the population grouth have so if you look that population growth over the last decade and the amount of housing we are producing it doesn't come close to keep up. to make a argument that you can't say supply doesn't matter, i don't know how you support that because we never tested that by producing enough housing. i also have to say and have a respectful disagreement with supervisor compose, when one argues supply z kmd actually is a factor that impacts housing prices to then switch it to if you advocate supply z demand is a factor that means you advocate for supply side economics or trickle down economics, that is i believe a very cynical argument. supply economic and supply z dmentd are different things. just because they have the word supply in them don't mean they are the same thing. supply z demand is a factor inl housing prices. even though some in san francisco contend ortwise. even though you say housing matters and prices that means you advocate for a differen

-year-old affordable housing developer that currently houses and serves over 3,000 tenants in the san francisco area, mainly in the mission district. we focus on energy efficiency and sustainability in all things that we do. most currently in the 10 year program of which we're in the third year is a preservation project. we're going through approximately 1,000 of our units to rehab them with a focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, and the long-term preservation of affordable housing. i believe that my role as executive director of mission housing and before that the director of asaid management over the portfolio will provide valuable insight to the committee, mainly on using funds as efficiently and intelligently as possible in order to make sure that any upgrades or efficiency standards that are completed also last for decades to come. >> great, thank you. mr. moss, it's been a number of years that mission housing has been actively in the role of developing housing. i think the last project was the valencia gardens that had been started in a previous man manifestation of missi

house. this is a relic of 19th century civil war boardinghouse culture. once upon a time, everybody lived in boarding houses senators and even vice presidents lived in group homes. this house is an important part of and development -- antebellum and the civil war history. aside from this being the lincoln death house, this is a great museum of immigrant culture in washington and boardinghouse life in washington. i have been coming here for years, making pilgrimages. i started coming here in 1986 when i joined to the reagan administration and i have been coming here for years. and i am very excited that there is going to be a big commemoration for abraham lincoln because in past years i am usually here alone. no one comes to the house on the night of the assassination. no one comes to honor lincoln. i might find one or two people when i sit on the steps of the petersen house and contemplate what happened. couple of years ago, the parks service almost arrested me sitting on the steps because t

discussion and build on the housing element i know that supervisors you've adapted the housing element for and against in the first reading or second reading this is a main document for the city this provides a regular process report on how we're achieving our goals and lastly has wide support i know that today people have a lot on their plates and supervisor it is earlier than accepted we saw a showing for the planning commission to show how useful this will be in the various neighborhood in the western edition or south of market different neighborhood struggling it is clear whether you're looking for middle-income or whatever it is important so thank you very much. >> thank you very much are there any other members please step forward. >> hi, i'm erica i've lived in the admission for 40 years as a renter and retired nurse and i'm old i've seen a lot of things change in the city and in the mission we fought against genocide indication but i've not seen anything has devastating as new i support the housing balance and send it forward to the full board i'll support a moratorium on evict

i started working the white house, my white house sources.nd trying to find out what stage they were in. at first, i remember a very high up source in the national security council telling me that something was percolating. and that was about two months before the release. it is interesting where it happened. i will say that one of the things that we are getting away from are the networks, some magazines and newspapers are getting away from traveling with the president all of the time. we keep pushing back to our bosses about, at least at the network level that there may not be a huge story that we are breaking when we are with the president, but we have unusual access to the people who normally do not return your calls when you're in washington. when you are in china, or in burma, or in higher -- four in hawaii for two weeks with the president, there is a lot of time to talk in formally with people who are your sources. it was on one of these trips that a very high a person told me, before the end of the year. we had, we focused on that. all

i mean, there's a 15-foot drop from the gonzalez house to this new house. one way you could deal with both the relative affordability and the design guidelines is to sort of push that off to the side and create a setback. the house up the hill has a setback, way up the hill, that has a flat roof. it's set back on the side. it creates the effect of a peaked roof in a modern way. i mean i can understand why people would want a peaked roof, that would be nice, i know that's never going to fly because it doesn't fly with the planning department or the designers today. the important thing is the surrounding housing and that's all about protecting the relative affordability. if you want to, i mean we could sit here and i could go through those 16 criteria and say, well, this isn't applicable and this isn't met and this is met but i think that, to me, i think that i really really hope that you consider the protection of the relative affordability. and i struggled with what is that? and i think that's, it's very problematic because everyone talks about affordabilit

by all of the housing providers, i mean not just the bmr's which are a very small set of affordable housing and not really affordable to folks that we are talking about, but public housing certainly the non-profit housing brian as you mentioned the affordable housing that has a for profit developer that manages it but also a lot of the city run houses is only accessed by some internal referral mechanism. so the department of public health has access to the housing programs and you can only be referred through the department of public health. so all of that is really an important part of the process, all the residential care, facilities that are really part of the whole fabric of housing. so just want to stress that. >> thanks. >> i have a comment coming from the bridge line. >> hello. >> hi, this is jessica layman from senior and disability action. can you hear me? >> yes. >> wonderful. i'm sorry i couldn't be here with you but thank you for this important discussion on this important issue. i'm sorry. the issues that i wanted to raise was about training and on going assistance with using t

and community development to apply for bonds financing on behalf of 14 public housing projects that are slated to convert to the rental system demonstration project 14 projects represent the first phase out of two-phase and comprise one thousand plus public housing another 14 projects are on track in mid-2016 and will be back early next year to present resolutions on those projects that second phase of projects comprise of 2 thousand public housing units today is a milestone in the city's effort to revitalizes approximately 45 hundred units of public housing they've suffered the reduced federal funding while their capital needs have increased program allows now owners for access of funding tax credits and the bond financing we're considering today as well as city debt to insure those sites have a minimum of 20 are year use of life conversion to rad provides us with the opportunity to preserve and improve public housing as said the projects are the low income residents those are the folks that have the greatest risk of displacement they're related to in the of our lovingly supervisor

i can personally empathize because even though i don't live in san francisco my house flooded in december and i put in a new floor and had to rip it out because of the size of the storm in december. we agree with a lot of the things that the residents said. we agree with the expansion of the grant program. that was the first time the city ever did something like this and went through one year and wide open to changing it so we agree with expansion of the program. we will work with the city attorney's office on how to expand that. one of the gentleman said for 15 years it was fine and now it's gotten bad. that really is not a change in our system as i said earlier. that's a change in the rain patterns and we again agree with that and trying to deal with that but have to stress that whatever we do and even if we were to spend billions of dollars when a 25 year storm hits we will flood. we cannot as a city ever invest enough money to deal with that storm. it's just not an effective use of public funds. i understand the frustration when you look at the parking lot and it's not flooding and ev

of the housing and the relative affordability of the housing. i also suggest that to reduce the square footage, it could be simply done, i'm thinking, by moving into the house from the light well that's in the center. so as you start on the ground level you bring the light well down to the ground. it doesn't go to the ground now. and you push it into the garage. there's a bonus room and a bedroom. there's certainly space that could be facilitated to enlarge the light well at that level and then work your way up from there and still have a reasonable size house, reducing it by four to five hundred square feet, that's my suggestion. that would bring it more in line with the existing housing. the site, the different square footage on each level, the garage level is 713 square feet according to the plans. on the first living level there's 1213 square feet. on the second living level there's 1060 square feet. let me talk now about another reason to do that and that relates to another part of section 317, which has to do with the design and the style

but where is the focus that housing is addressing the affordable housing addressing the crisis before us and is it anywhere? >> i was surprised we were going to get through more discussion on this without regard to the housing bond. i can't speak to the numbers i would allow kate howard to talk about that and the housing crisis. again when the capital plan was created i think it was in 2005. that timeframe where we added a similar crisis to let just let the capital plan focus on city owned infrastructure. it doesn't mean that we don't ignore the other critical and housing issues. i would think the housing crisis would contribute to that and whether the soft story proposal for geo bond for soft story and i think it's perfectly legitimate to talk about here. i don't know if you would talk about that. i know if the numbers go up, it will impact the other programs, the public health bond and i saw two other folks who just left but it will affect the critical projects that are in the line waiting to come forward. >> ms. howard? >> thank you, supervisor. kate howard, budget director. a coup

he did drink in the white house. he served alcohol. he did not drink to excess in the white house.an article came out in 1983 alleging grant was an alcoholic. he did not drink to function. neither was it the case he would go on binges. i think that that public miss the mark -- that probably misses the mark. again, we do not have grant's medical chart in front of us but i think if we did, we would see that grant have low tolerance for alcohol, and very little would have that effect on him. that might have appeared to be a binge. i think it is important to put the drinking charge into a wider context. in the mid-19th century, we witness a real upsurge in the sensitivity to the evils of drink. this is a time when the temperance movement is very strong. this is when the wctu was created. this is a time when the prohibition party came into being. it is this cultural sensitivity against alcohol that gave grant's enemies a weapon against him. the rumors from the war could blow up into a real charge against him. what is important here -- not that grant had a couple drinks in the white hous
