joel koppel: s in this neighborhood.am okay overlooking that today. i agree with commissioner richards in the fact that this house could use an a.d.u. is there something we can do today to help guarantee that from happening now later? i am just talking to the staff here. >> mr. winslow. >> the question is could the commission take an action to approve the house with the condition that the a.d.u. be added assuming the legislation passes? >> i think the condition would be a sign-off or issue of the building permit contingent on this legislation passing. i don't know who would craft that condition now if that is appropriate. >> it is taking the project that requires re-zoning that you do that in other situations. i look to you for a little bit of help here. >> i guess the question is, is the commission concerned about whether they can impose an a.d.u. requirement based on the fact that that legislation has not passed yet? is that the question. >> because the project sponsor offered it. >> my understanding the project sponso

commissioner koppel. >> vice president joel koppel: . i would like to copy the words that came out of lee hepner's mouth. he summed it up amazingly well. this is a tremendous opportunity to double the amount of units on the lot. i fully support this today. >> commissioner moore. >> commissioner moore: picking up on what commissioner koppel said, mr. hepner qualified that also saying with a nonreduction in open space it retains the leverage for the units to stay rent controlled. that is a very important aspect. we are not looking for linear increases in units we are concerned about the lack of affort ability or diminishing of rent control. i would like to support with the further explanation of what was to be said here. >> commissioner richards. >> commissioner richards: i guess a couple folks brought up unintended consequences. i for the life of me wouldn't want to it is here and approve or take dr and a.d.u.s. i went on record with that. the question for the city attorney. the valley is a hot market right now. if i roll down the street

i've had my history with ted koppel.2017 i called it edited fake news, and he literally interviewed me for an hour. he cut it down to about 1:07. but he told me that i am bad for america. ouch. take a look. >> honestly i think that liberalism has to be defeated. socialism must be defeated in a political sense. this is not, we do not want a revolution. >> what more do you want, you have the white house, the house, the senate? >> sean: and then we have angry snowflakes and a democratic establishment. i say that the press in this country is out to destroy this president. we have to give some credit to the american people that they are somewhat intelligent and they know the difference between opinion show in a news show. you are cynical. >> i am cynical. >> sean: do you think we are bad for america? do you think i am bad for america? >> yeah. in the long haul i think that you and all of these opinion shows -- >> sean: that is sad, ted appeared >> because you are very good at what you do and you have a attracted a significant

. >> commissioner koppel. >> vice president joel koppel: i support commissioner hillis' comments. question for staff as the roof deck that serves as open space for the upper levels, the deck on the actual top. >> the deck on the top serves as open space for the upper unit. there is enough open space in the rear yard so if both units have access to the rear yard it would be code complying. the upper unit has the third floor deck. >> that was my only concern was how do the other commissioners feel about this? you have almost two roof decks. one you can walk on to and one to walk up to. i don't have a problem with the roof deck in general. when i see two of them, i might give it a second look. >> commissioner moore. >> commissioner moore: i am struggling with the architect giving a 5-foot set back to the north and leaving the light well as small on the south side as it is because i think the impact is significant. we would never today even consider something like a light well of that depth, assuming that is a small building to the north. that problem will repeat itself when the 826 b

i did work with ted koppel for many years. school, much as i am, we came out of the same tradition, wages neutrality in news coverage, opinions reserved for columnists to editorial writers and broadcast journalism, certain commentators, and you have correspondence to cover the new news. those lines of separation have become increasingly blurred, and in the age of trump, as he suggested, they've gone completely out the window, because of the sense among journalists that the election of donald trump constituted a national emergency, and it was their duty as patriots to resist it and to do all they could to undo this presidency. which they have tried to do and we see it affected constantly. >> tucker: what i find so infuriating about it is how indirect and dishonest it is. opinion people are pretty straightforward about her. we are in this show. rachel maddow, i'm not mad atct her. she says exactly who she is, there's no misleading anybody about being an opinion person. why shouldn't news people who decide to become activists jus

commissioner koppel, and commissioner president melgar. so moved, that motion passes unanimously, 6-0. and the administrator could act on 5b. >> closed public hearing for grant or variance. >> commissioners that place this under item 8, the consider of adoption draft minutes for february 21, 2018. >> does anyone have public comment on the draft minutes? okay, public comment is closed. >> move to approve minutes. >> second. >> on that motion to adopt the minutes for february 21, 2019, that should be 2019, commissioner hillis. commissioner johnson. commissioner moore. commissioner richards. commissione koppel. and commissioner president melgar. passes 6-0. comments and questions. >> commissioner moore. >> this is due to the late-night news yesterday. i heard the unfortunate story that the golden gate fortune cookie company on ross street is most likely going to be forced to be closed. and its rent was raised from $1,600 a month to $6,000 a month. and i'm asking the commissioner and i'm asking anybody who is listening to what i say for the ci

rowe commissioner koppel? just a comment to express how glad we are to see this in front of us today. housing and homelessness are probably the two h's that the biggest concerns that we're looking at every day. and glad to see that the department of homelessness and supportive housing, along with planning are really handling their stuff. thank you. >> president melgar: commissione r moore. >> commissioner moore: i have a question. and i am not quite sure as what i read applies to this. i saw a lot of negative comments on next door. somebody saying the city is legalizing homeless tent cities. i'm not sure where this comes from. i hope it does not apply to. i would be very disappointed if there is, indeed, this type of communication in the public to really push back on something, which i believe is constructive, forward-looking and well, well within the city's way of doing things. you seem to have heard about it. i was pretty disturbed by it. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm the director of the department o

it hardly gets covered. >> emily: ted koppel said great journalism versus they are not neutral.s a bias on every front page. >> juan: it is so different covering this president. he is unique. i think evelyn can agree he's different. the way he uses twitter, though he goes after people, but what he bullies people. the way he has transformed the republican party, the way that he uses media as an echo chamber. it's different. if you are a newspaper reporter, you -- bob woodward, widely respected. he said he pushes the fear button at every opportunity. >> greg: okay, wait. there are two things going on right now. yes, the consensus media is after trump. i remember, i am old enough to remember how ronald reagan was treated and george w. bush. they were demonized too. it's no longer right versus left. it's the resistance versus anyone else. they have demonized. they have expanded the target of demonization so it's not just trump. it's the voter parodies people who don't join the resistance. they have damned an entire population because that is the profit model. cnn, "the washington po

i think ted koppel hit the nail on the head. >> they are actively cheering for this man's impeachmente media has never liked republicans. they attacked ronald reagan. walter cronkite went after ronald reagan when he retired. and he went after george w. bush. they created trump. they pregrit. they feel guilty about it and now they want take him down. jesse: to show you how villains and heroes are framed. some prankster, some new zealand senator said nasty things about muslims and he cracks an egg on him. >> people are getting attacked in their own. so egg boy is famous. the media loves this guy. showering him with love and affection. i remember the covington kid close to the same age. did nothing, just stood there in the face of somebody very aggressive, and he was vilified as some sort of racist. >> remember when the iraqi reporter threw two shoes at george w. bush and they laughed. they cheered the egg boy because he said something that was anti-immigrant. they assumed the kid from the school, covington, was a racist so they were mocking him. jesse: they choose side before they even

commissioner koppel? >> i know the area very well. instances where on one side of the street, it goes uphill, the other side of the street it goes downhill, so the way to add onto the house is on the rear. we do think the front should match the existing houses as much as possible, so i would highly recommend that discussion continue, but i am in favor of the work in the rear as proposed >> commissioner moore? >> i personally do not have a problem with the scale of how the building expressed itself on the front because change and having a flat faÇade still is really keeping the scale. mr. winslow, when you hear the d.r. requester's are there other thoughts in your mind when you talk about scale? i personally i am not interested in actually lowering hides and accommodating something that i don't think will be resolved by doing that. >> if i can define the question in the form of an answer, to respond to the d.r. requester's issues, there is two things. it is the mass. you're adding three talk to 5 feet based on the proposal, but as you

i believe ted koppel is right. >> i do agree with ted koppel.t that story. "the new york times," oh, then it was believable and that's sad. the way i learned is you report the facts, you never inject yourself into story and make yourself part of the story and you would never know the person reporting the story whether in print, radio, or television's opinion. when you dislike the president or you love the president, if you are a journalist and not owe pining for a living as talk show hosts and others do, then you should just be reporting the facts. otherwise it does a disservice to journalism. >> sandra: quoting, my job is to not know what i think. journalists don't live by that. >> in the trump era you had i believe it's "the new york times" their slogan, the truth matters now more than ever. my first thought is didn't the truth always matter? there does seem to be i think this notion that we are in this moment where journalists do they have a unique responsibility to really treat this president differently than past presidents because the pres

. >> thank you, commissioner koppel. >> commissioner koppel: thank you to everyone who came out todayand sent in written comments. this is definitely an improvement from 827. there still is work to be done. i want to see the protections strengthened. a lot of you weren't here for the later hours of the thursday hearings and we see that tenants are being evicted due to renovations, alterations. and if these state laws are going to continue to control us, we're going to have even less control in protecting those innocent tenants. i'd like to see that addressed. i would like to see more worker protections. i'm going to reference a bill that actually went through and was implemented in san francisco already by chiu. it seems that labor is excluded from the conversations and they're often blamed later on for holding things up or killing bills when they weren't even invited to the table in the first place. ab73 has those protections in there. there is prevailing wage language, skill and training language. it's just the right thing do for this middle class. the middle class sees 20% displace

listen to ted koppel.mp is bad for the united states, but the notion that most of us look upon donald trump as being an absolute fiasco, he is not mistaken in that perception, he is not mistaken when so many of the liberal media, for example, describe themselves as the belonging to the resistance? jedediah: koppel not a right-wing loyalist, this is just a guy who has been the in industry a long time. like any sane person with eyes and ears, listen, this is an agenda driven media now. >> it absolutely is. read "the washington post" on any given day. read "the new york times" on any given day. you know, watch chris cuomo or one much these guys on cnn any night, just the hatred, you can see hatred in peoples ice. the hatred comes through, guys. the worst part about all of this, if it was confined to the u.s. it is one thing. when you see some anchors on cnn being broadcast to the entire world, every single night they're undermining undermining. brian: they're watching in hong kong and china. >> it hurts our c

howie: ted koppel came out this week and said donald trump is right, the establishment press is out tohis. trump's problems are far from over. will we see when the special report comes out, any reflection, soul searching or mea culpa? ben: i will be waiting to see the first person saying i went too far, i believed sources i shouldn't have trusted. i spun a story with a narrative behind it that this report does not live up. i will be curious who does say that. richard: there are other investigation. there is in the michael cohen investigation. in that investigation donald trump is person number one who engaged in paying off a porn star. howie: so much of the media was focused on mueller and indictments. richard fowler great to see you. ben, stick around. when we come back we'll talk about what happened this week between president trump and john mccain. stay with us. bookers book now and ask their boss later..

i was swayed by public testimony and lack of public testimony as commissioner koppel said going the other way. we don't see building owners saying we can't rent spaces because of these vacancies. they don't come forward to say they are not making it. we do hear about the jobs and we heard more the last time we heard this which are compelling. they are good jobs. these hours seem to be ones that employees prefer, and they seem generally better than other food service jobs. i think things we learned at the last one. it took down the stereo tops of the businesses and where they were, what they were actually doing. my trouble would be if we had a c.u. resolution for employee cafeteria tomorrow how would be decide that? if you look at what is here under conditional use and what we are to look at, i think it is. if we are honest we should stay no. it doesn't tell us we can require them to have well paying jobs or union jobs. some of these have organized labor and some don't. this doesn't give us the ability to say you have got to provide granola or cookies. if things we are discussions it scent

koppel, what state do you think has most right? >> i think vermont sets a good model in terms of the ex parte proceeding. >> i wouldn't pick that one. but that's good. >> okay. in vermont, ex parte confiscation can only be ordered when there is a -- the judge find that there is an extreme and imminent risk. and vermont also has -- and confiscation can be ordered later after a due process hearing. >> do most of the states have a clear and convincing evidence standard for a final disposition? >> for final disposition, that's correct. but the one problem is the ex parte standards hearings can be on such low standards. >> i gotcha. when it comes time to kind of help people like sheriff bradshaw, if we pass any legislation, incentivizing states to create a protective order system, how much is the mental health professional part of it? how should we focus our attention there? >> well, senator graham, there's no question that our mental health resources are inadequate. pretty much across the country. but i agree that if, in fact, the remo
