for weeks now i've been active with hudson on how to get off the treadmill off the backlogs that won't get fullly funded. last year, i meet with others who said they are commented to us having new housing. so effective immediately i've asked the director of housing authority to develop a set of recommendations to help and building a model of s f f. senator who grew up in this area has agreed to join this effort. we will engage residents, community leaders, number one housing leaders and i'm open to every one of their recommendations up to and including replacing the housing authority as we know it with a new million dollar >> every san franciscan deserves a clean safe place to call home. i believe we can improve the condition of public you housing and live up to our lowest income residents if we collaborator with hudson and others in private session terrors. and on our streets there are still too much people who don't have a place to call home. like you, i see them everyday people who came in here to escape discretion and there are too. homeless families. last thursday i joined the man

the hudson's cleaner. was young, you couldn't open windows in the city because there was so much soot in the air. there was black garbage coming in. now you can. the irony is though they were spending $700 million when they imlished all of that. they set some rules. they funded some sewage treatment plants. now they spend ten billion. the job's done. stick it fork in it. it's done. >> government jobs are never done. >> no, they always spend more. >> fixing 48th street for the last 20 years. it's a slap happy job, never done. >> our mayor wants to ban the foam containers, which, of course, means you'll use paper, and i double cup because -- >> double cup that, but jumped into the hudson. okay, confused on that. i would not jump in the hudson and use a single cup for that, but there's a point then. the main point is that you say these -- there's good things from government regulations at times, but don't they go too far and all go too far, becoming giant bureaucratic monsters and just consume money and punch

"don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep be

there are some beautiful maps of the hudson river. he was going to work on the canal was filling up and it was making it difficult. there was a canal proposed to run alongside the hudson the most exquisite maps that he did is a series of 16 following a the river. they are beautiful and fit together like the format does. the commissioners were called and to help devise a plan this is post critic but we had suffered so much from pestilence and felt the evil that we have the widening of the narrow passages for open places and squares of the first magnitude and importance. so to circulate by its separation the city is well ventilated. some of the causes for needing a good plan had to do is crowding, and narrow streets, fires, a trash, and a lack of breezes. [laughter] it was past eight to seven commissioners appointed, and there is one record of the summer being hawked but also a letter from the philadelphia complaining about the quality of the survey. it turned out to that the old maps are erroneous and they must be done over talk about

called the miracle on the hudson.s was the plane that was loaded with passengers that was guided to safety on the hudson river after the engines were damaged. look at that. just laying there. absolutely incredible, people called it a miracle. the captain of the plane, captain chesley sullenberger, known as sully, he was the one who saved all of the passengers' lives. and he has a mission, if you will, a goal, takes him beyond flying. captain, always good to see you. before that happened a lot of us never even realized you could do something like that land the plane in the water. you are a hero 0 to many of us. i want to talk about your cause. we've got a lot of things to do. primarily let's talk about what we've seen with the tsa, controversy, a couple of things have changed here. small pocket knives allowed on the planes. how do you weigh in on this? is that a good or bad idea? >> well, two thoughts come to me. first, i think that the tsa is trying to go generally in the right direction which is to do a better job of

host: let's get a response from congressman hudson.uest: i think to say one party is always wrong is a little extreme. i do not think democrats are always wrong. i do not think you can bring -- blame one party or another for what happened on 9/11. the 9/11 commission report showed that all parties had some culpability's. that we as a nation could and should have been doing things better. i think we have learned those lessons, it and that is why we have instituted policies like a secure cockpit, training for flight crews, adding air marshals on planes, and having tsa screeners at airports. are we perfect? no. but we have gotten better. there is room for improvement. i will continue to push for improvement every day. improvements in security capabilities and the things we are doing, also improvements and efficiencies and access for passengers getting through security checkpoints, and the privacy of individuals in this country. those are all principles that we have to have to look out for and continue to get better. the cost of this burea

there are some beautiful maps of the hudson river. he was going to work on a canal. the hudson river kept silting up, and it was making it very difficult around albany to get boats into the port. so-a canal proposed to run alongside the hudson to albany, and some of the absolutely most exquisite maps is a series of 16 sort of following the river. again, we can't get a sense here of the color, but they're very beautiful, and there's 16, and they fit together very much like the farm maps do to create this long, long -- one long map. well, the >> with a lack of saw lube rouse breezes. [laughter] so the act was passed in 1807, the three commissioners were appointed, and as i said, 1807 not much was happening. there is one record of the summer being beastly hot, but there's also this really interesting letter that was in archives in philadelphia of governor morris to zimm monodewitt -- simeon dewitt chaining about the quality of the survey. and he says it turned out that the old maps are erroneous and that his work from them must be done over. he's talking about a city su

if i can, our recidivism stats at hudson county jail are now 22% against a national average of 66. >>essive. >> our old stats were 55. wave come down to 22%. that means almost 4 out of 5 women don't come back. that's because we don't wait until they walk out of the door before we start giving them treatment, we give them star treatment in jail and start changing behavior and requiring work in jail and outside in terms of work and also social housing. we make sure that people are committed to sober housing and, alex, every one works. the simple dignity of work is so profound, i have women that have criminal jackets with 26 convictions, never worked a day in their lives and now they have a whole new

[laughter] no palm trees. the only palm trees in washington, d.c. are in the hotel lobbies, okay? right? but we have palm trees in san francisco, and why is that? same latitude, same amount of sunshine per unit area, see? but it turns out, what? we got the gulf stream-- not the gulf stream-- we've got the ocean out here. now that ocean, if that ocean in the wintertime cools down a little bit, what's the air do? you wu. - warm up. - warm up, okay? and if it blows this way, what's it hit? begin with a cal f-o-r-n-i-- so california is a much warmer place in the winter than east coast communities of the same latitude. ain't that neat, okay? in fact, any place that's surrounded by water has just abo
