the reform of housing and community services has not yet been completed the sector affects literally every citizen and there is much to be done yet that's also about giving more independent power to the regions the financial sector needs more transparency in stability as well as more monitoring of private deposits. such reforms need to be carried out pension reform as i mentioned is a priority and some cases we spend too much of public money without proper effect in health care and education where higher standards are required and the money spent should be probably commensurate with the quality expected we may not always do this properly all the second such no more benefits be a better education or medical treatment or providing better services as a result of such reforms consequently it's necessary but the need for such new services does not mean more taxes should be proper a balance. let's talk about the debt crisis that advanced economy space now russia keeps a big part of its savings bonds but nevertheless right here has reportedly cut in half its investment in the u.s. treasury b

years on a board of a non-profit service at risk teenagers, so i can say that edward ii not be the bridge motel. it is owned and professional operated by community housing partnership, whose reputation is beyond reproach, and services will be provided by larkin street, one of the best in the nation. additionally, those financing the project will be regulating and monitoring. it is their prerogative. i have to wonder how many of my neighbors signed a petition because they are against the bridge hotel and not because they are against the quality project that edward ii will be. being poor does not necessarily make you a bad neighbor or bad human being, and i think the vast majority believe in that. [bell] supervisor mar: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. joel lipske. community partnership. you have heard and will hear plenty of people talking about the merits of the project and the competence and track level of community housing partnership, and larkin street, it is because of that record that i chose to join the board of chp. i only want to make one short point about the sud self and its importance to the project. the point was made that density

>> the pushback and the neighborhood and subsequent conversations with community housing partnership and youth services we believe has netted a much better project. it is my understanding that your decision today will be to forward this to the full board without recommendation, but i hope that you have heard about the flaws in the process and the unwillingness to hear the neighborhood suggestions and optic steps to remedy this in the future. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you, miss barack's. thank you. >> supervisors, i am a resident. this project costs probably, it could be anywhere between 900 -- $9 million, a $11 million, or $12 million, and an important thing it looks like 100% of the residents will be people emerging from foster care. that is not suffocates -- not that -- that is not the case. the other will be funded by mental-health funds in the city. the other important point i must bring to your attention is the project is disqualified for hud dancing. what happened was, in the city's zeal to acquire this property, it advanced money to the developer to close the purchase transaction, and thi

city of san francisco and also improving the lives of our low-income communities by providing and stretching every single public dollar we give them to provide housing and other services. i am also dismayed by the disregard that several folks have for the decades of community planning and meetings that our marriage -- residents have been involved with. 10 years ago i started attending meetings in support of central subway and watched as seniors and used demanded to see this type of improvement come to their neighborhood. 90% of residents in chinatown do not own cars and depend on muni to get around the city. i am happy to co-sponsor this legislation with president chiu: and supervisor cohen and other supervisors. thank you. >> thank you. supervisor farrell? >> ." i am asking the budget and legislative advisers to conduct a study to compare and analyze how a number of other cities and states provide incentives for local film production either by rebates or other incentives offered to encourage local production. asking to review these incentives that are being offered, the law enforcement costs, permitting fees, how much -- how many television shows feature films -- and

other district, and there is a brand new senior complex and wraparound community services complex called the institution on aging bridge housing complex, but it is going to concentrate a lot of the senior services and nonprofits. about 180 units of affordable senior housing in our district. i am actually a baby boomer, at the edge of the baby boomer, and i know that baby boomer era. there's this huge boom in a population of seniors in our city that will grow. i think by 2020, 60% of the population will be seniors, and i think some people are now defining 60 and over, but i think generally, people looking at 65 and over. that is a huge population. i'm trying to look at issues of senior nutrition programs, alzheimer's research, but even housing policies that allow our buildings to become more senior- friendly. i guess we are calling it developing an aging-friendly city. we are also looking at how to support senior services and unique neighborhood by neighborhood programs called aging in place or village models that allow people who are older or seniors getting older to be able to support each other and to stay in their homes and

air force one so that we could leave sarasota and make sure that he had lines of communication open back to the white house. i made sure the secret service was doing their job. i was looking for a place to go where the president could meet his responsibilities and be safe. he wanted to go back to washington, d.c. i said the secret service could not let you go there. even the pilot of air force one was reluctant to go to andrews air force base. we got to washington and he addressed the american people. he taped a message in louisiana and went to a meeting in omaha, nebraska. he went to a bunker under ground and the secret service said he could go back to washington. it was a tough day and i was impressed with how he met his response abilities. >> you can hear the scene that is being prepared now. >> i cannot help but think of tall buildings with people jumping out of them. that is what we witnessed that day. >> thank you for joining us. we will return to our coverage of the 9/11 anniversary later in the broadcast. let's get some other news from around the world. in libya, there is growing concern about the disappearance of highly sophisti

health reviewing the proposal, also with the housing, also with the tenderloin community for the impact on their community, and of course, muni, mta, the human services group. they are reviewing it in detail. i will be scheduling a meeting with cpm see to go over that to see how -- cpmc to see how that translates over into the impact we want. i do not have an immediate response except to say we are discussing this in detail. i am trying to help cpmc be successful at the board of supervisors and planning commission. as we get closer and closer to an agreement, i believe they need to listen to my advice. i work with the board every day. i know how they think. they want to have a successful vote at the board. i am guiding them there with the conditions -- it was not conditioned that i made up out of thin air. it was to deal with all of the impacts of a hospital decide they want -- they want a big hospital and want to have to take care of everything else. i am very careful to know how each supervisor feels about the impact on the project. i would like cpmc to be successful because they do not have a lot of time. we would do the best we can and review eve

of visitation valley, we created its service provider coalition, and we facilitated it for quite some time and passed it over to mercy housing, and other community partners where it was more than a community entity would lead a community meeting. we provide a capacity-building on that. we try to eat -- a jindal events and community gatherings. we are invested in making sure that we're there the ground level. we also communicate with our police partners. the police department, ongoing. most of the time when there is a critical incident like a homicide, which recently occurred in the mission, a couple of homicide, we're often communicating with our crn's and case managers. we talk to the police. we try to provide any kind of linkage is necessary in order to be responsive to the homicide. those are a couple of areas on what we do ongoing. >> there is a great model for this work. dph, jcpp, and jpf me monthly with all of our providers. it allows us to see whether the expectations, requirements, and policies are actually aligned with what our front line workers are doing. there's a continuous feedback loop, which is very helpful. supervisor campos: i
