k north. before getting into the details of the parcel k north transaction, i'll start off with just a brief overview of the larger pier 70 project. in the fall of 2017, the board approved several pieces of legislation authorizing the pier 70 mixed use district project, including approval of the 35 acre pier 70 special use district and a disposition and development agreement with four city covering 28 out of the 35 acres in the special use district. last fall, the board also authorized a financing district for pier 70. just a reminder, the pier 70 s.u.d. covers 35 acres adjacent to the dogpatch neighborhood. it provides for approximately 1600 to 3,000 residential units of which 30% must be affordable, up to 1.5 million square feet of office space, and nine acres of open space. the project also has a robust public benefits package. it includes more than 470 affordable housing units, sea level rise protections, nine acres of new parks and open space, the historic rehabilitation of buildings 2, 12, and 21, and a new arts building just to name a few. now i will turn to specifics of parcel k north. parcel k north or p.k.n. is a parcel at the corner of illinois and 20th street. it is subject to the s.u.d. which provides us to 260,000 gross square feet of residential and 13,000 gross square feet of commercial and residential, 240 to 270 residential units ranging from studios to three-bedroom units and.6 parking spaces per housing units. p.k.n. is not one of the options however, the d.d.a. does require the port to sell parcel k for condo development by february 19, 2019 and then to use the proceeds from the sale to pay down entitlement costs for the larger pier 70 project. consistent with all market rate condo projects in the pier 70 s.u.d., the project will be required to a pay 28% in lieu fee rather than provide on-site inclusionary housing units. i'll now turn to the buyer selection process. in 2017, the port approved the broker approved sale at or behalf fair market value. five buyers ultimately responded to the solicitation, and the port in consultation with the real es

k-12 is outdated. it's pre-k to college. you're going to have to start earlier, go longer, full stop. when i became mayor, we did not have universal kindergarten. with had no universal pre-k. we now have universal full-day kindergarten for every child. we are embarking in the first of four-year phase-in of full day pre-k for every child. we added an hour and fifteen minutes for every day for every child, two weeks to every year. four years more educational time than a decade earlier. second, through the chicago star scholarship, dual credit, dual enrollment in our high schools. 50% of our kids now graduate with college credit out of high school. and we've made community college free so we've made 14th grade universal. starting next year, to get your walking papers at high school, and this -- first school system to do it. you must produce a letter -- and we'll support you and help you starting freshman year -- a letter from either college, community college, vocational school or branch of the armed services. every child, not just the emmanuel and daniels children, will have a post high school education plan on high school graduation day. and that is a requirement that -- a

k through 14 rather than k-12. how does that play out and what does the policy look like on a federal level? i think he is right in saying more and more people need to have the extra years what you call community college but integrate it k through 14 and how does that play out in terms of federal on this? number two is regarding stem i was an engineer and the idea of graduate engineering programs if you look at them as you probably know more than half of the graduates are not u.s. citizens or permanent residents and without them these graduate engineering programs will struggle for students. is there any push to get some kind of funding for american or u.s. students into graduate engineering programs? thank you. >> thank you. yes i think the k through 14 or k through 16 frame is generally right and it is meeting families where they know they are. they want more education for their kids and i think that what can happen in a federal free college system is it doesn't use what chicago is trying to do, it doesn't change what different districts are offering. what it says is states and institutions can experiment with the types of programs they offer and with majors they are offering and generally how they are running their b

k. we know from study after study, kids who go to high-quality pre-k do better in school. are more likely to graduate from high school, more likely to get a good job, and less likely to commit a crime. so i think investments in pre-k are actually gonna save us money in the long run, because you'll have more people enjoying the benefits of a good job and high-quality life. in my first term, working in collaboration with the general assembly in your support, we tripled the number of pre-k classrooms in rhode island. and we brought about all-day kindergarten for every kid in the state and every district. you know what that means? we gave a chance to our littlest learners to get off on the right foot, to have the right start, so they're not behind when they get to first or second grade. tonight i pledge to you to bring the governor that brings about universal pre-k to the state of rhode island. by the time i leave office, there's going to be a pre-k spot for every 4-year-old in this state whose parents want it, and the budget i submit to you on thursday sets us on a path to do this, and i say let's get going and let's make it happen for our kids. during the last there is nothing more important to the future of our sta

the cj k would be -- the role of cj k is clearly there. >> thank you. i have a question for the expansion of tpp. you wrote in the presentation that we have a question whether it's appropriate to call china or uk or eu to be part of the membership. i would like to know your answer and secondly can you say, i'm curious how would be the case that the eu after the brexit to be a member of tpp and eu?. thank you. what percentage? >> i answered on taiwan. taiwan should come after china so that would be a very long- term project. china, this is a difficult issue but we can openly invite china to start negotiation on tpp 11. i think that would give a good indication about china's willingness to change. we should have many ways to induce china to change through wto reform, through unilateral pressure from the u.s., multilateral process through the lateral process. i think in many ways would be useful using many ways. inviting china to tpp 11 would be one of them. the u.s. may not be happy and enough that poison bill clause, no market economy. the u.s. may be co

k-12 is outdated. it's pre-k to college. you will have to start earlier and go longer, full stop. we will not have mayor or universal pre-k. we now have universal pulled the kindergarten and we are embarking on the first of a for your phase in a pre-k universal. we added an hour and 15 minutes every day for every child two weeks every year, four years of more educational time than a decade earlier. i think through the chicago start scholarship dual credit and dual enrollment high schools 50% of the kids not graduate with college got out of high school and we've made community college free, 14th grade is universal. next year, get your walking papers at high school in this first school system to do it, you must produce a letter and we will support you and help you starting freshman year. a letter, from either college, community college, vocational school our branch of the armed services. every child not just hours will have a post high school education plan on high school graduation day and that's a requirement. we will give support. one thing i'm of proud of his 81% of kids that are taking it have no family member that's eve

k-pop fans outside. oh, man, you have never truly heard disappointment until you pull up in a large black car, hear the screams of excitable k- pop fans, get out, not as a member of a k band. and hear "aaa---oh, next one. maybe next one." >> stephen: you could do it. it's never too late. >> thank you. it's all about confidence, isn't it? >> stephen: it is. >> success in a k-pop band is 90% confidence. >> stephen: the rest is knowing how to sing in korean. >> that's right. ( laughter ) >> stephen: that part's easy. >> they feel like jumpable hurdles. >> stephen: sure. well, nice to have you back. thank you for being here for your annual checkup. ( laughter ) >> thank you for having me. >> stephen: exactly. we'll get there, we'll get there. i put the gloves away, unfortunately. ( laughter ) you're about to start season six. >> yes. >> stephen: you probably already started, but it launches-- ( cheers and applause ) >> thank you. we're starting on sunday. we have been prepping some things. >> stephen: confidence is high? feel good? think you're going to squeeze out the shows this time? >> confidence high? no. my confidence is never high. >> stephen: oh, okay. >> self-loa

k. when it finally came, it still got held up at multiple intersections, red lights at multiple intersections for trivial minor streets. when we get to where the k turns from ocean, the signals let the cars go through the intersection first. the k has to wait until after that. a violation of the most literal sense of the charter transit first mandate. that is one example of chronic ongoing problems that muni is facing. they've identified solutions to that, but they are not getting implemented. why does it matter? [bell ringing] in san francisco and elsewhere, transit is losing ridership. the resources board is saying unless it's reduced, they have no hope of meeting greenhouse gas emission targets. i implore you in the coming year to swiftly and systemically address these chronic ongoing problems. >> chair heinicke: thank you very much. next speaker. welcome back. >> congratulations, sir. mr. heinicke. i'm here to address this whole question of the debt of all these new medallion holders. and we had a town hall meeting in this room about three or four weeks ago. and a suggestion was made by me that possibly there could be a settlement. and the settlement would be that the mta would pay down the purchase of these medallions by $

k) >> so, the 401(k) is largely for employees of big companies what about everybody else? i mean, is part of the issue that more people need access to a product like this? because states and all these different -- there's lots of initiatives to make sure that, hey, the problem is just that you need access to something like this. >> right. >> and then even if you have access, then still the issue of not having enough in there. >> well, fewer than 70% of people in the private sector are covered by a retirement plan at work, so there's clearly a lot of effort that has to be put in to getting more people covered and there are various proposals to do that you know, some involve just making plans, kind of universally portable it would follow you through all your labor income, whether you have self-employment income, whether you've worked a bunch of odd jobs, whether you've stayed at one employer for a long time and then left. the money would follow with you wherever you went. >> we all know the difficulty when you change jobs itself of trying to roll it over or combine everything so, some have said lately, especially, in order to fund other types of things, it should be easier to tap the money in your 401(k). do you adhere to that school of thought or no? >> i think that behaviorally, this is a really good idea it really matches the way real people think about money one of these proposals calls for what's called a rainy day account, which would sort of subdivide your retirement savings into a short-term pool and a long-term pool and if you had a legitimate urgent need for the money, you could tap the rainy day account, which would keep you from busting into the long-term money, which would get replenished while you spent down the rainy day account. >> so, of all the things you looked at, before i change topics, what do you think is the most important change that needs to be made to the 401(k) >> well, i think the single most important thing we need to do is we need to make it easier for people to withdraw money over time after they retire in stable, monthly increments and various longevity annuity proposals would help with that, and there are companies that are starting to implement thos

k. we put adp numbers together. that showed 213,000. that was strong but 300-k is strong. no ostensible effect of the shutdown on the real economy. neil: are there anything, fear about delayed effects? workers come back, you will see it in other numbers, retail, and consumer activity, manufacturing activity, that just hasn't evidenced itself is yet in these reports. that it has a delay report? >> it hit sentiment. consumer sentiment numbers. business sentiment. i do think if the shut down went on much longer, sentiment is undermined to the point we would see more broader effect on the job market. business would pull back. here is the other thing, neil, if we see it anywhere, it will be in business investment. because the labor market is so tight, business's number one problem is finding workers, holding on to workers. the last thing they will pull back on, is their hiring. first thing they pull back on, if they're nervous is their invests. we'll have to wait and see what the investment numbers look like neil: we were mentioning at outset, this is 100 months of job gains covering two administrations, just a sheer number, 100 mons -- months in gains, not all consistent but gains nevertheless is getting long in the tooth. what worries you? bullish economies don't die of their own accord, other factors come into play but what do you worry about? >> well, look, businesses are saying i can't find works earns. we have a record number of open job positions which is a high-class problem but at some point businesses just are not going to find people they need and job growth will slow. i mean the underlying growth rate in the labor force, number of people coming in looking for work is closer to 100,000 per month. we'll, a year from now, if something doesn't change, we'll be closer to 100 k than 200-k. unemployment will likely go lower, and at some point that puts pressure on inflation and interest rates. once unemployment starts to rise even from a low level. something could go wrong. this is great news and good news but i don't think it is sustainable for very long. neil: talk about the next fear, in the two weeks they don't cobble together that is this conference committee and president, some sort of a deal acceptable to both sides, we could be revisiting this. do you think that is the case, that where the president declares an emergency and that will at least prevent another government shutdown, whether people buy that, kind of middle ground or not? >> yeah, just as long as they don't shut the government down. if the lawmakers shut the government down, that would completely undermine confident. in this shutdown, this last shutdown, i think everyone thought, okay there will be a lot of brinksmanship but at the end of the day, they will agree, before it does real damag
