ed also was the attorney who represented the opinion resident improvement association in the first affordable public housing rent strike, to really drive for safer conditions. he won that one, too, and that had a lasting imprint on ed, which led to his work around affordable housing. lastly, i just want to say, i am really glad that this book was pulled together, as an airport commissioner. we do have an aviation library, we typically don't really put anything in it that doesn't include aviation, but, you know, in about a week, we hope that we will be able to make another great announcement regarding ed 's legacy. i can't vote on it, but i believe that this coming tuesday , the international terminal is going to be named after mayor ed lee. it is the culmination of about a year, year and a half of work by a joint, you know, community efforts with contributions from everybody, and i don't know if naomi wants to also say she contributed, too, but i think it would be appropriate to have this publication in the airport 's library as well, and we commit to buying a million copies. >> i think we wi

improvement demonstration. i'm not part of a merchant association or part of a government agency. i try to shop on hate street as well. i wanted to comment on two aspects of this legislation. when it comes to the zoning restrictions on hate street, there is a large, i would argue, a very large portion of the population that although they live within blocks of hate street choose not to shop there because they don't have businesses that attract the residents who live there now. for example, the lower hate according to a san francisco chronicle article has 6.29 residents and the other has 1.9. the legislation would make it easier for retail businesses to maybe have some limited food options, would help provide more food options on hate street and get people on hate street more, add more foot traffic and help the vacancies. haighs street recommends two different choices. i think many residents are excited to see what could happen if he decided to pursue this comedy club routine. >> my name is eric raymond. i'm a 15-year resident of cole valley. this has been a huge boon for right ther

air quality is now worsening after a prolonged period of improvement, according to statistics from the american lung association is this administration in flat-out denial about climate crisis? >> yeah, i think there are two things going on. one is that, you know, our clean air and clean water laws are really a model for the world and we should be very proud of them. the problem is this administration is not doing anything to try to use them. and the second thing i'd say is that the administration has made a point of unraveling every piece of the obama administration's climate agenda and replacing it with absolutely nothing. so what's clear here is they want to freeze everything the obama administration did. they want to freeze fuel efficiency standards which was a landmark policy the obama administration put in place. now they're proposing a so-called clean power replacement plan that actually doesn't clean up the electricity sector and they've announced a withdrawal from the international climate agreement, the paris accord. so you couldn't do more to unravel what the obama folks did to put us on a pathway to
