i thought it was interesting, though, that they did not let him so kim jong il or kim jong-un. he ended up meeting sort of the top tier of the foreign ministry and the military but did not see the nation's leaders. and when president carder went to visit just a few months ago kim jong-ill was out of town. he was in china. so he also didn't see the leadership. and i thought that was striking because if the north koreans wanted to send a message back to president obama i would have thought that they would have had governor richardson meet kim jong il. so whatever message was sent was sent at a lower level. in the end i suspect governor richardson probably accomplished something significant by bringing the inspectors back in if they actually get back in. how long-lasting it is is the big question and i think ian is exactly right when he says, you know, we can expect there's going to be another strike at a time and place at the north koreans choosing. >> we probably is a bit of a recipes here. look, lord knows i don't want to be on record as saying i know what the north koreans are

so thank you so much, president kim. >> yes. so i -- just want to also echo this, that particular concern was discussed at the budget committee in depth. that's eighty the whereas has been included. mention the resolution that we have for teacher housing. i thought it was important. i was the commissioner that suggested we added a formal family housing considering we serve main lilo and moderate income families. there are 39,000 families in san francisco with the needs. as 9 largest owner of land in the city, that we have an obligation to also serve our familys by no means does that curtail already pans -- plans we have in motion about teacher housing. i think that's very, very clear. so -- but what i really particularly like about this resolution is that it reinforces the fact that the lapped that is -- that the san francisco unified school district opens is public land. it belongs to the public. it doesn't belong to principles or teachers or even board members but actually, this is public land. san francisco unified school dis
