the house survived all those years, just sort of the house, like the house of a banker in an american city somewhere. in 1902, president theodore roosevelt, looking for a new image, mckinley was assassinated. this young man came to office, a young and vigorous man, living publicity and loving to be around. he ordered the house restored. it wasn't really restored. but the stone walls were not harmed. there was a lot of damage to the basement. it was repaired. 50 years later, president harry truman and the secret service faced the problem of danger, the floors squeaked, and the architect in the enlargement of the state dining room in 1902 used tire rods -- a enlarged the room, and he used them to screw the ceiling into the wooden timbers of the attic. in 1925, the attic was torn off and replaced and not much attention was given to that. so the ceiling sank. i took -- i talked to an engineer, and he said the east room ceiling had dropped in the middle almost 30 inches and the dining room more. it could have fallen at any time. hi they were faced with that. and the security issue. preside

housing. he has fault -- brought a halt to fair housing, and taken sustainable communities out of h.u.d.'s mission statement . to address these actions i have introduced legislation to restore the fair housing protections that secretary carson and the trump administration have eliminated. hr 6220, in restoring for housing, protections, in lynden -- eliminated by h.u.d. 2018. response to each act that secretary carson has taken to undermine fair housing. congress should not stand by while the agency charged with ensuring fair housing transit back on the commission, and takes action that rolls back critical protection, and ensure that all americans have fair access to housing. thank you, i look forward to hearing the testimony on these issues. as to the chairman's comments about stability, and about what he would do if he owned a restaurant, let me to say that i think every reasonable person has concluded that the president of the united states of america has advocated violence, he has been divi

white house visit. the first time i got to the white house was when i was working as an advisor for dav cameron. guess for golfers, it is winning an open championship, for actors, it is appearing on broadway, but for diplomats, it is walking across the threshold into the white house and even more into the oval office. you feel if you do that, you can die happy. anyway, the british prime minister who i suspect would approve this, who spent the most time in the white house was i think winston churchill, because in 1941, he pd a 24 day visit to the white house. it is impossible and modern diplomacy to imagine a 24 day visit anywhere. a 24-hour visit is hard enough. indeed, churchill thought of the white house as a second home. here as a bigive family in the greatest intimacy and informality, and i have formed the highest regard and admiration for the president." looking carefully at the record, i am not sure every element of that was entirely reciprocated. [laughter] >> i imagine you have heard the story o

the aread break into viewing the house and then the guests would walk through the house and come out on the window's view on the west side, and that view, which was the first event vanderbilt saw before he even purchased the property, that you would be the culmination of that experience. i think it is interesting. that was done in the 1890's, and even today in this decade, a president, mr. obama and his wife, and some friends, visited the estate on vacation. and they came up the approach road and they suddenly came to the house and saw everything about it. and then walked through the house and were standing on the , anda -- and standing president obama said, this is why we came. back in 1880's, george vanderbilt came and saw this wonderful view in western north carolina. andy saw this view of the french broad river valley, and it captivated him, so he started purchasing some land and built this home here on the property for him and his guests. the estate at one time, with all of the lands had grown to 125,000 acres. we are standing in the middle of a four acre walled garden, which is

house house needs power lines coming in and gas lines coming in and so we had lines going out and water lines coming in. a nurse ship is a bessel on the shame that provides all of these things there are six things that humans meet on this planet they need water they need comfortable shelter that doesn't use fossil fuel they need electricity they need to treat their sewage and someway and they need to treat their garbage in some way and they need food these housing units called earth ships address all of these things all over the world and these are the same six things that humans all over the world need to have addressed . so living in the ship community here in the greater worlds is about those more than seventy houses about one hundred forty people with families living here well. what. i used to feel like some kind of like little affair you know i've been there because you know it's so very. very organic very like you need a something like like i was a woodland fairy living man a secret castle. it feels really good feels really solid and there's this sense of solidity living inside an

house of representatives. the chair lays before the house a -- a commaun case from the speaker. the clerk: the speaker's rooms, washington, d.c. june 25, 2018. i hereby appoint the honorable jody c. arrington to act as speaker pro tempore on this day. signed, paul d. ryan, speaker of the house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the order of the house of january 8, 2018, the chair will now recognize members from lists submitted by the majority and

those are your housing services. they are things that -- you have access to your storage, your garage, as well as laundry. so when you remove laundry services in approxima multiuni building at the same time we're demolishing or closing laundromats, that's a huge problem. so we need to have the big picture in there? i want adu just a minute. all right. now, let's get to a building that's a new construction with an adu added. you're upzoning without an impact assessment and environmental study. one fellow said it's only going to be -- affect, you know, 120 units in the whole city? no, this is upzoning of every single neighborhood in this city without an environmental study. this is needed, folks. okay. now onto rent board issues. yeah, you're taking away space from tenants, their storage, their garage, and in the executive summary, it says we are working development -- to develop some kinds of procedures about it. no, these are rights in your tenant contract, and now, they're being taken away, given away to developers

from everything that happened recently from puerto rico to mexico this house this type of house is very good because it's resistant to hurricanes and as well as quakes also if we think of california on the wildfires that they have because you have the. the tires are protected it's all covered with a berm this house could also protect you know from fires in the future. so here's a simple survival it's the first one that we've built ever and since then we have built several all over the world. come on in you're welcome. so these houses are called simple survivals because the systems themselves and also the way that they can be built should be easy for anyone in the world with a set of plans and basic training to be able to build the systems themselves are sustainable the same as in all other us ships but they're very basic and they have a lower cost in terms of disaster relief the electrical system in this house is also very good for traveling because this is our storage system which consists of a car battery and then it has different fuses which can be found anywhere in the world and als

as their vision grew, the house grew. they traveled in france and in england, visiting chateau's and country estates. they took components from each of those. they got excited about the ideas and the possibilities. the house from the exterior is very much an american expression of the french renaissance. it has grand, sweeping views, framed by the architecture in itself. the deep roof lines and drama. most of the architecture is adapted from the french renaissance. we are in the entry hall, the heart of the home. you come through these oak doors and you are struck by the size of the estate d the quality of the workmanship. there is beautiful marble, limestone, the construction is exquisite. the entry hall is the center of this home, flanked by the winter garden, a glassed in space that brings in sunlight. also these spaces radiate the library, one of the favorite rooms, a salon, the breakfast room, all sorts of spaces for entertaining. we will proceed into the banquet hall. this was a space where the vanderbilts and their

you know you need to take care of your house for your house to take care of you properly house to take care of you properly. we just close. with just close the skylights which are bases the skylights which are basically the hut during the day cleaning the hut during the day if vacuum i.q. weights three of these the sky lights and it's the sky lights and beacon because it's no night time we just want to hear this now nighttime we just want the heat at this time at this time to stay to stay inside inside the house to house them. every night every night which is close to just giving the first of the clues it's really close it's retaining the opening to retaining the open it really really. we we . use touch tires ayers. for they are they struck the structure of of the building with the building we call them. call them. radio radially reinforce in force ram morse rammed earth bricks and earth bricks is what this is what they really really are they are the tire the tires are radially reinforced with stairs are radially reinforced with steel feel for being for being tires but in tires but tha

revert, housing disappears, office moves in. recapture, using the amount of office space dedicated to housing and adding additional office space not counting against prop m. i would think that would be a more conducive strategy because we do not want to lose housing. >> as we understand it, the ordinance would not result in a direct physical change to the environment in that fashion. it would simply recapture the square footage for proposition m, accounting purposes, if you will. >> commissioner moore: that's great. glad you are saying that. it wn't clear with your talk and offices of housing and now back to offices. great idea. thank you. >> seeing nothing further, commissioners, we can move on to general public comment. at this time, members of the public can address the commission on items that are in the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission, with the exception of agenda items. with agenda items, you can comment when we reach that portion of the meeting. you can address for up to 3 minutes. i have no speaker cards. >

at our permanent housing sites. this includes $15 million to continue our nav fact center pipeline, helping to secure the creation of four new facilities right here in our city, including the first one dedicated specifically to women and expectant mothers. these resource heavy centers are critical to breaking the cycle of homelessness, poverty and addiction on our streets. we will fund programs that support families, we will fund program that's support the youth that are homeless on our streets, and i will continue to support funding for operations that clear our streets of unsafe and unhealthy tent encampments. again, no one's life is getting better by sleeping in tents on our streets. we must also address the core roots of the issue of homelessness. we must offer help to those on our streets struggling with addiction, mental illness and other behavioral health challenges. last month, i announced the creation of a new street medicine street which will deliver opioid treatments directly to people living on our stree

in the meantime briefings today from the house speaker, paul d. ryan, and nancy pelosi, the democratic leader, we'll show you what we can until the white house briefing starts. mr. ryan: good morning. take a look at this. this is a epidemic in the true sense of the word. i want to paint a picture of just the urgency we're facing in his country. this chart shows you the national death rate, 13.3 opioid overdose force every 100,000 americans. as you can see there's been a huge spike. this goes from 19 the 9 -- 1999 to 2016. we had a 28% spike in the opioid eath rate from 2015 to 2016. 28% increase in death -- in the death rate of opioids in one ear in this country. this is an alarming scale. this spike represents so many families who are grappling with the loss of a loved one. so much potential squashed and squandered in this life. people at the peak of their lives losing their lives. all told, an estimated 2.7 million people across the country are struggling with opioid dependence or addiction. you heard those heartwrenching stories yesterday. this

because you housed 26. so when you house -- when they get housed, en, they get off the c.o.p. list, right? >> sometimes. >> oh, sometimes, because they get to use it twice. >> they get to use it twice. >> to rent and to buy. >> you know, a lot of it -- i just signed a bunch of certificates this morning, and a lot of it is siblings. like, like, one sibling who is in a house, and folks had kids, like, back in the day. there wasn't one or two kids, there was a lot of kids. so one -- one sibling gets a certificate, and then, the next thing you know, we're getting applications from all the other people that are in the household. so that -- that -- that that -- i think that speaks to the outreach. >> so these siblings, if they have kids, they get to apply, to? >> no, the siblings -- >> it stops there. >> it stops there. unless they were born at that time. >> okay. >> i signed one today for a four-year-old baby who's now 50 -- no, i guess he's not 50, but a grownup. >> i see, so that's why there's the increase because the c.o.p. holders now realize that their siblings, you know, thei

san francisco is in a huge housing crisis and we desperately need more house, especially affordable housing. i think anything we can do to make 100% affordable housing projects go faster is going to be in the best interest of the city and in the best interest of those who can't afford to take time off of work and come and voice their support for this today. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. coalition for san francisco neighborhoods. we support the planning commission's recommendations and i want to point out that these were hammered out after a -- i believe it was a five-hour meeting and there were a lot of compromises involved. so i hope that you will incorporate them. in particular, we'd like you to keep noticing for the rear yard pop outs. as one member of the commission pointed out, he would not want to make up one more when the cement mixer pulls up at his next door neighbor's backyard and finds that the time that a two-story building is going up right next to his home. so this is something that is very important to people and they just need to be notifi

we begin with breaking news out of the white house.rces tell cnn that the white house has assembled the paperwork to pardon dozens of people. the president is poised to exert his constitutional power to intervene in some cases where he believes the department of justice has overstepped. brianna? >> this is a very big deal, poppy. >> let's bring in kaitlan collins at the white house to catch us up on this. kaitlan? >> that's right, brianna. >> reporter: we saw this last week the president pardoned the conservative author, and the white house is prepared to pardon dozens more people when president trump makes the decision on that. sources tell cnn that the president has prepared the paperwork for at least 30 people to pardon so far, ready to move forward. one of those people is alice johnson, that woman who was imprisoned inlabama onrges related to drugs and money laundering. as you'll recall kim kardashian visited the oval office last week with jared kushner to lobby president trump to pardon this woman. the paperwork is prepared to par

i don't know what the white house expected. if they're going to crack down on china, china is going to crack down on us and it's just going to keep going until the economy straightens out. >> kim jong-un is meeting with president xi in china. the u.s. needs china's help with north korea. everything is linked. >> the president thinks -- again, he trusts his instincts -- he thinks china is the bully. the only way to get the bully's attention is to hit the bully. you can't talk to the bully, you have to hit the bully. the cost that some americans will pay because of the president's zero tolerance policy, coming up. ♪ i love you applebee's 2 for $20, now with steak. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. liberty mutual saved us almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance. liberty did what? yeah, they saved us a ton, which gave us a little wiggle room in our budget. i wish our insurance did that. then we could get a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey, welcome back. this guy, right? (laughs) yes. ellen. th

the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the house will come to order.

i would remind people, republicans are in control of the house, senate, and the white house. let's not lose track of that. yes -- >> it's hard -- >> you need more than a simple majority in the senate on many of these issues. but republicans are in charge. >> and the president keeps on throwing roadblocks up. if he wants congress to pass something he has to lay off the tweets that obstruct the process every third day. >> he has given no guidance to the republican party, shown no desire to actually solve the problem, but rather grandstand on it. look, the last republican president to put forward immigration reform was george w. bush and it got derailed by the tea party, that now has taken the figure of donald trump. so the president provided leadership. i think he could pull it off. he has shown no desire or willingness. >> something you were talking about, wes, democrats are learning the lesson that the out party doesn't have to actually do anything. the republicans, you know, they understood that during the obama administration, just stop progress, get in the way and they ben

look, this is a bad situation of creation by the white house.he white house now is trying to backtrack away from it so that it's the politics of it don't impinge upon what it hopes to accomplish in the mid-terms. seems to be getting more confusing and worse as time goes on only because the white house because the white house has not articulated how they will reunite the kids with their parents. seems to be confused and uncertain. >> trace: really, a.b. a good point. you're talking about the facilities all over the united states. we went to one in texas and one in the northeast. how do you catalog the kids and make sure the parents get back to them in a shortened amount of time? >> i can tell you unlike when we grew up, every time our bags were at the airport, somebody has a bar code and they scan it tell us. maybe it won't be back for a few days but they know where our bags are. costco and all the stores know where the cans of food and crates of stores are. so there's no excuse in 2018 for the fact that these kids can't be accounted for. that's

and housed san franciscans. when we support individuals whole experience and homelessness, instead of criminalizing them, we strengthen our communities. by providing shelter housing and mental health civil service -- services, we will give people the foundation to escape route -- poverty. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. i'm an intern for the coalition of homelessness. homelessness among children has been found to have a negative impact on education. with half meetings state proficiency requirements and being sick four times as much as housed children. there is no full-service -- full-service shelter in the bay view. it has limited shower access and the one drop and is packed with primary african-american sleeping in the chairs. the providence shelters should be replaced with a full-service shelter. today we are asking for $14.9 million and -- out of an 11 billion-dollar budget. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. i am with coalition -- coalition of homelessness. one ye

recognizing the role of house ng this country. % of single family housing is is manufactured housing. 22 million families. the regulatory burden has been ridiculous. it prevents like in new mexico, the oil moworkers. they can't you know, use a manufactured house because of some of those regulations. we're looking at those. getting rid of those so that it makes sense to we can use them. because manufacturing housing has made so much progress. you wouldn't be able to tell a manufactureded house from a site built home anymore. they stand up to hurricanes much better. >> when we talk empowering low income american to help them achieve that dream of home ownership, we need to unleash manufactured housing. not just in rural areas, but in all countries as an opportunity. >> one of the solutions. >> absolutely, sir. final ly, we hear this refrain from many of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that the tax bill was tax cuts for the rich. you hear that a lot. evenugh acrding to the hoeholds in the top 20% will pay more in 2018 compares to last year in term os the total income taxes

house passed last month. mr. speaker, additional legislative items are possible in the house including two bills from natural resources, the strengthening fishing communities and increasing flexibility in fisheries act. the bill would re-authorize replace one size fits all regulations with an approach for vibrant species. the endangered fisheries prevention act. this bill will allow state and tribal authorities to respond more quickly to predators of the native samon population. the house is expected to consider legislation relating to border security and as soon as our schedule is finalized. i will inform our members and yield back. mr. hoyer: i thank the gentleman for the information. i note that the bill that was supposed to be on the floor either yesterday or today dling with daca and with the children who are an object of great concern by all the country is not mentioned in the gentleman's remarks for legislation to be considered next week. the daca bill that was supposed to be voted in the second immigr

to the housing trust fund. the trust fund goes up by $2.8 million each year. in 1819, we'll be using that increase for our community partners. additional investment in new housing development and continuation of work on the online affordable housing portal. the budget in 18-19 has a reduction of one time $3.1 million in the current year due to the elimination of revenues sent over from dbi in the current year. the 18-19 budget also has some good news for the general fund in that there's a reduction of $5.3 million in los subsidy required. we've been able to move those units over to project based vouchers funded by the federal government instead of the city. the biggest change is this last item, one time appropriation of the downtown neighborhood's preservation fund. this was adopted by the board in 2016. this was a project commonly known as the ocean life center being built at 51st street. $40 million of dedicated revenue to affordable housing that has specific uses defined. and we're appropriating those funds

if it was a white house event we were in charge of it. we also always had to do the united nations reception when the president would go speak at the united nations, he would host all of the leaders and so if we are the host country then we would have to be there and it was -- they realized and appreciate how much we enjoyed doing things at the white house. not that you really have control over anything, a lot more control -- in new york we had to deal with my first un trip there, we did at new york library which was beautiful but unfortunately because secret service had to block off so much the president and mrs. obama couldn't -- they could just be as an airport hanger and so you learn -- let's just do it at the hotel and you just kind of learned by mistake because it wasn't your fingerprint, your usual, being at the white house. >> so we have time for one more question out here. >> speaking of state dinners, it's my understanding now that when you have state dinners you serve only american wine and since we are in california, i'm reall

what kind of problems could that cause in the white house when you look at a white house dealing withurse, i mean, this is just something that clearly the white house has decided is a risk worth taking with bill shine. i mean, we understand that it is from people who work there that it is difficult to work in this white house. and bill shine, maybe they see as somebody who can take on this position. this is definitely going to be opening themselves up to a lot of criticism because of how he handled it. he stepped down because of all of these allegations of sexual harassment at the network and settlements they may have paid out as a result. and as you noted, he was never himself accused of sexual harassment, but he was named in several lawsuits regarding how they treated these allegations. but clearly for this white house, this just doesn't seem to matter as much as the benefits they think bill shine can bring. i have spoken to a few former and current fox news employees and they say that he would do a good job running a shop like that. the question is whether president trump will list

it is to preserve existing affordable housing and prevent the creation of new garages in new housing in order to preserve the existing affordable housing stock. so, you know, kind of designed around preserving the existing affordable housing, and just while i'm up here, if i may, commissioner fong's point, separate from the rationale about existing residence and converting to nonresidential use, the other goal which i hope came out in my original speech, identifying the possible sites for new development in the district and really prioritizing residential use for those new developments. it's not just about the conversion, but prioritizing that use for new development. >> president hillis: just, sorry, clarifying question. in the rh district, you can't get a c.u. for a hotel, can you? >> you can, but it's more like a bed and breakfast type use you can do. >> commissioner johnson: so, it is really interesting these two have, the last two items have been next to each other, just looking at one, how do you protect the character of a neighborhood and find a balance, and i think on this on
