adolph sutro donated the land. >> he had a lot of land. >> did. he bought a rancho in '82, and it was a huge chunk of land in a little peninsula. it took decades for it to fill in with housing. >> when he died, he leapt 1,100 acres to widows and orphans, and his children that truck. they comprise the woods, sherwood forest, forestville. it was a contentious thing. it took about 13, 15 years in public. >> this is actually in golden gate park, the casino. it was a controversy at the time to have a place that serve liquor and had card games in golden gate park. eventually, it moved to 24th ave. >> we still have the newly recently refurbished stop along the great highway. the beach shall i -- chalet. i always find it ironic that these federal highway funds were used to refurbish this place for drivers to get a drink. terrific. [laughter] >> there were farms, and there were dairies, as these houses are starting to be built, and they are more conventional residents is, and they are still a farm. in the distance, you can see it is still sand dunes. >> an

-- the dedicated land has to be 35% the size of the land of the project. so, the affordable housing project. >> yeah, to clarify. so, the project site is roughly 50,000 square feet. considering just the development which is excluding the new mission theater. this is the development portion of the residential unit. >> you take 35% of that which is roughly 15,000, and that's the size of the new lot for the land dedication. that land dedication lot has to be a minimum of 40 units. moh has determined that it can be 46. they can also -- there's some language that allowseses them to go as low as 25 in certain circumstances, but they determined they can do 46. * allows >> is this based on [speaker not understood] are we talking about the economics, 12 affordable units in the projects? >> this is strictly from eastern neighborhoods. >> is that originally based on some economic calculation or it's not clear? >> i don't remember. there was some analysis looking at comparables. i can't remember the details. if i had ken rich here, we could ask him that question. i ho

this was land observe the land was renamed and hushed. what was left for me, generations gone. purfume of smoke freshened my nostrils. pastures reached to the head of the bay. thick roads where locals greeted with slowly raised hands or a nod of a cap to my car the postcard my eye framed in it's longing. moony's pub where i stopped for a pint and slipped my quest. so, you are a to bein accomodating my english. they're all about here. she showed the photograph with dark hair and features unlike my own but a resemblance of an uncle. what was the ring happened on my chance or grace. why not trace through lost norman crests or track dna to tribes 6,000 years gone from the banks. or further back through each human cell to african eve her grunts are tuning savannahs. i felt the gift shared from the bones later that night in the crowded room when all the instruments had gone silent and a man rose up shyly alone and sang sean moss one of the singer's songs. beautiful country, i take you to by the black water screens of the beast the thrush and the black bird sings sweetly and the wild

on the land dedication we're thrilled to be supportive of the land dedication. we spent nine months through a community process. we listened to the community, and we are fully behind this approach. we will be available for questions. look forward to talking to you more about the parking issue. but let me close by saying that we respectfully request your approval of our proposal as recommended with staff with special conditions and only ask that you amend staff recommendations to allow for .75 parking. now i'd like to bring up ms. sandra dibanco. >>> good afternoon. before we get started, can we please turn on the [speaker not understood] and coordinated with the computer here? my name is sandra vivanco. i'm an architect, educator and community advocate. i'm going to tell you a very little bit about me. since 1994 i have led a community-based architectural practice with a very strong focus on the san francisco latino community. [speaker not understood] enabled the community to sign processes neighborhoods, visitacion valley, bayview hunters point, more specifical

we are all nations connected and tied to this land. i have no doubt this change is coming and they cannot stop it. >> we appreciate you talking in lending your viewpoints. thank you. that is all from our team in washington d.c. for now. thank you for watching "inside story america."

and then there is the question of land dedication. so, i think even though the commission cannot force the developer to do a cba, i think this is only the public forum really to talk about it and i think that that's important. i am supportive of local hire. i am supportive of this fund for small businesses to think about really how do we -- how do we invite new business into the neighborhood, but still make it so that it doesn't raise the rent of those around them. and maybe that's impossible in this world. i don't know. but i think we have to, as a community, as nonprofits in the neighborhood to think about what are creative ways that we can think to really help these small businesses. i heard legal services suggested today. i heard marketing. maybe it's things like that. i think at the base of it is how much rent do these small businesses need to be paying. i have a question about what kind of retail is going to be in the three store fronts. maybe a developer or representative could speak to that. >>> good afternoon, commissioners,

the city does not own the outside lands or any outside lands is owned by another planet entertainment. the festival has not sold out until the last two years. and that's sort of the industry standard, that it takes 3 to 5 years for these festivals to begin selling out. to begin building awareness, to get the national recognition. and the city feels that if we put this out to bid and another respondent were to operate the festival, that despite whatever projections they may have, it would not be realistic to expect the festival would begin selling out and attracting the number of ticketed patrons that we experience now and we'd see a decrease in revenue to the city. so, for those reasons we have put a permanent extension to the board of supervisors for your approval. there is the appropriate language i believe within the resolution waiving the required administrative code provisions me to take this action. but we feel strongly that at this time a contract extension is in the best interest of the city rather than beginning a competitive solicitation process. >> okay, thank you for that.

some vacant land was snapped up illegally. the cases are going to court, but in the meantime they hope the government intervention. >> government ministers came to the village to find out what the problem is. it is possible the government might buy the land and give it to the sea gypsies. >> they claim to have a special connection with the ocean. their main source of income is from fishing. some still use the traditional method of free diving. they worry that if they lose

to summarize quickly, the outside lands attendees were mostly nonresidents. so, this was not just a locals only party. two and three nonresidents were in san francisco strictly because of the outside lands festival. there was one reason why the vast majority were visiting san francisco. nonresidents spend an average of three days in san francisco. so, they made it really a mini vacation for the event rather than a one-day event. significant spending in all sectors, many sectors of the san francisco economy. so, i feel very strongly that the outside lands festival economic benefits were city-wide. average trip spending seen at about 4 70. $27 million in direct spending. * indirect induced and direct, about $60 million impact. >> thank you. supervisor mar, there are other individuals that you'd like to bring up? >> no. >> okay. why don't we go to public comment. we'll take the first member. >>> good afternoon, my name is alan valenski. i work for another planet year round. i'm also the artist transportation manager [speaker not understood]. and i live at lincol

the alaska lands act would prevent further exploration.ithin those borders, there's the potential of providing for this nation the 31 minerals which we're importing from the third world. why weren't they developed before this? because the need wasn't there. because it's expensive. if there was debating room on alaska's minerals, there was no debate on the wilderness. it was vast, and it was america's last wilderness, the last wild home for many plants and animals. we could import minerals but not wilderness. we couldn't have both. we'd have to choose. doug scott was the chief lobbyist for the environmentalists. people in future generations will be outraged if we destroy everything natural about this planet in our shortsighted rush to develop everything for short-run economic gain. almost everybody in this country agrees with that. that's why we said to the american people, "write your congressman. "he's about to make a decision of extraordinary importance. "you may never be able to go to that national park. "it's a part of our culture. tel

government land, san francisco land, and then you had these squatters.these were rich men who decided maybe they could make some money. >> you put up a fence and you owned the land. >> it can to a compromise. squatters get some. you have certain military things reserved, government. we will create a public park. everyone donated a certain amount to create golden gate park. they also created smaller parks. there were all part of the deal. >> a lot of people got moved closer to downtown as part of the deal. if you are out in the middle of nowhere land and had a couple of acres, they would trade you a better acres somewhere else. >> how was it decided to put it where it is? >> it was controversial. people thought they could not put a park there because it was all sand dunes. people were pushing for a large city park in other places. it was a political compromise. >> between lincoln and fulton and the beach. >> you're saying, why did they decide that exact plot? they brought someone from new york to come up with a park plan. they eventually made it a rectang

we're having landing gear problems. we're going to crash land. emergency landing, crash land at l.a.x., but thought i'd leave you a message just in case, which is i love you and everything is going to be groovy. love to my mom and family, let them know that i love them. that's it. >> meanwhile, the flight attendants are busy preparing the passengers. >> at this time, remove all high-heeled shoes and sharp objects. >> i think the scariest moments for me, it was when they're explaining to us, you need to decide how you want to brace yourself for this emergency landing. >> if you want to assume the alternate brace position -- >> you have a choice. you can either go, put your arms up there and lean against the thing, or you can put -- lean down and put your head between your knees. but just the fact that i'm considering what position do i want to crash in, was very scary for me. >> luckily, barbara is spared the horror of watching the ordeal on live television, but the news manages to reach her. >> i made a phone call to a friend of mine, and he abru

at the request of the land owner the project was added to the land mark work program in 2011. at both the june and july hearing the historic commission voted unanimously in favor of the building based on its historical significance. to summarize, the build is significant for its association with the life of a person significant in our past. it is a physical location and geographic locus of the life work of sam jordan. jordan was a prominent business, political, social and cultural leader in the bayview neighborhood through the middle decades of the 20th century. sam jordan's support of african american entrepreneurship, civil rights and political involvement began before 1958 when he took ownership of the bar and remained constant until his death in 2003. his influence extended far beyond the neighborhood to include the larger sphere of san francisco. in 1963, jordan became the first african american to campaign for mayor of san francisco, running on a progressive platform of social justice and racial equality. the bar was a centerpiece of jordan's neighborhood community build

so, between the presidio and the head lands, we now have wonderful park lands that have been converted. we call it converting from post to park. repurposing those lands from national defense to environmental defense. and i believe it is probably the most accessful base conversion in the united states. if you haven't been to the presidio, i think you should try and make that. if you're from out of town, it's a spectacular transition there. so, these golden gate national parks that i happen to be the superintendent of has now become after 40 years the second most visited national park in our country. we get 14 million people a year that come to our parks. it has spectacular coastline, includes muir wood, alcatraz, we get to tell the stories, stories about essentially what you and your predecessors did this this area. our headquarters, fort mason, was the fisherman's wharf area was the port of embarkation for the wars in the pacific. just this week we brought in a world war ii 16-inch bottle ship gun to the marine head lands to put it up at battery townsly which would have been the pinnac

sites in cases where there are multiple parcels being dedicated under the land dedication model. also under the land dedication model, we make clear that the approval letter that moe issues can change, but only under situations based on new information. but approval by the mayor and the board of supervisors is of course final. and finally, important insertion under our bmr rental to ownership conversion rule. where the right of first refusal for the existing resident includes pricing at the original bmr rental rate. or the actual income level of the renter, in cases where the existing occupant or tenant, their income has increased above the rental level. the pricing of the unit under that first right of first refusal scenario would be priced per their actual income level. so those are the highlight modifications that i wanted to bring forth. and i too will be here for any questions. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> why don't we take a few clarifying questions first or public comment? >> public comment. >> let's take public comment on this item. seeing none, public comment is closed

then the land dedication option, i have seen one project coming in future that will use that. it is a little bit disturbing because if you have an ownership project, and you are trying to do something that is similar to that land dedication doesn't have requirements. you could take the dedicated land and the mayor's office of housing could put as many units as it wants on there at any income level they want to do, as opposed to something that mirrors the project for which the land dedication is being done. i think that is really not consistent, if we're trying to get a cross-section of incomes, a cross-section of opportunities, it would seem that the project should have similar income levels and if it's for-sale, on the project, it should be for-sale on land dedication. i know you can get more, smaller units on the land dedication, but that might not always be the best thing for the city, where we don't have enough larger units. so just some of my reflections on this. finally the pricing of bmr units to ownership. i know it's a tricky subject. what you are trying to do is allo

he goes and he's what you call a "land man." these guys go in and they lease land for natural gas drilling. talking to some of these land men, times are pretty tough out in these rural areas, so they go in there with all these promises of what can happen, and they're injecting money in these local communities. oftentimes, they're giving a lifeline to a farm that might be about to go under. so in steve's mind, he grew up in a farming town with the industry, the factory closed down and the town was all hollowed out. so in his mind he's helping them hold on to a way of life. then the story happens and he was kind of at a different tavis: yeah, and i was going to say, and then the magic starts to happen, where the town starts to change him a little bit and he starts to change the town a little bit. >> exactly, yeah, exactly. yeah, really, in thematic terms the character gets fracked. [laughter] so that's kind of what happens to the town through these interactions with these people. he starts to reorient his thinking a little bit. ta

one way or the other you will land. then when i touched the light thatblue says shut the engine down because if you landed with the jenin burning it is possible a back pressure could have exploded the engine. of course, it ruins your day. >> yeah. >> and you press the button and boom. then you feel positive gravity. the first thing i remember is looking out at this mountainous valley and realize that i am now where no human being haous ever been before. >> that's beautiful. it has to be one of the most proud moments of my life, i guarantee you.an >> the total time we were outside thtae spacecraft was 22 hours. that's the longest of any crew outside the spacecraft. >> you wanted to be out there on the moon all the time. >> jack schmidt and ron evans had never flown before. i said you only come this way once. >> n strolling on the moon one day ♪ >> enjoy. they did. i did. we bounced around, but it was a natural response to our environment. >>po hippity-hoppity. >> and going out longer and staying out longer left them expo

for more than 100 years now, they've taken care of the land and the countless number of dairy cows they've had on the farm, all in an effort to supply healthy, wholesome milk to people across the nation. >> it is my responsibility as a dairy farmer to not only produce a very-high-quality product that has amazing nutritional value, but also to do it in a responsible way. animals as part of our family in addition to being part of our business, and so our values require us to treat them with respect and make sure they're taken care of. >> in addition to caring for his animals, dino has won numerous environmental awards for his conservation efforts at the farm. he says for him, being a dairy farmer isn't a job or a career, it's a lifestyle, and as a multigenerational d@iry farmer, it's a lifestyle he hopes to continue well into the future. >> well, i think i have somewhat of a responsibility to my family's legacy. i'm the fourth generation, and we've been doing this now 117 years in the same place, and i'm not gonna be the one to blow it, right? i mean, i have to at least make it work and make

and this land dedication accomplishes that. i think that one of the advantages of the land dedication, is that we are partially entitled through this process, and that, entitlement in terms of the number of units, speeds approval process and relative to all other sites. so, in terms of looking in my pipeline, and seeing, what parcels i have, this affordable housing and land dedication has created an entitled parcel and this will come or could conceivablely come on line sooner, provided that we have the funds to do so. i think that in terms of the question that the context and how, the affordable housing would relate to this surrounding buildings. i think that we have a wonderful tract record of utilizing very talented architects who take that into consideration, including the architect of record on the 801 brannan site and really hope, and not hope, but we really do expect that anything that is designed on the affordable housing parcel will be in context with this, with what is being designed, for the not only for these other t

she said wait a minute, that's my land. that resonated with me. we have had the land for 250 years. that farmers and occupy it by invading armies twice. we defended it with firearms and blood twice. to say that land is not protected as offensive to me. there have been two major environmental damage is on that farm in my lifetime. one when i was five years old and the federal government built an interstate highway through our prime habitat. we hunted deer and endangered species. i probably couldn't happen today. when i was a teenager there was a flood, camille and the federal government ran its bulldozers right on the trout stream river that runs through our farm. we now have the blue ribbon chub river fishery, a blue ribbon trout stream fishery. that made me think that maybe we need to think about how we empower environment outcomes differently and one of the things we have done is we have said thou shall not pollute. it's a great thing to do but we haven't embedded those kinds of opportunities. we produce apples on our farm. we really like apples and do lots of things with apples a

they made a covenant with this land. conceived in justice, written in liberty, bound in union, it was meant one day to inspire the hopes of all mankind. and it binds us still. if we keep its terms we shall flourish. first, justice was the promise that all who made the journey would share in the fruits of the land. in a land of great wealth, families must not live in hopeless poverty. in a land rich in harvest, children just must not go hungry. in a land of healing miracles, neighbors must not suffer and die untended. in a great land of learning and scholars, young people must be taught to read and write. for more than 30 years that i have served this nation i have believed that this injustice to our people, this waste of our resources, was our real enemy. for 30 years or more, with the resources i have had, i have vigilantly fought against it. it is the excitement of becoming always becoming, trying, probing, falling, resting, and trying again -- but always trying and always gaining. in each generation, with toil and tea

and water we have laws older than this colonial government about how to live with the land. well put and now although it's been years since protests of those kind of taken place in canada or the us tens of thousands of people are supporting the movement and holding demonstrations in solidarity across both countries so i hope you learn more about idle no more and why it transcends us and canadians policy canada's policy sorry i'm joined by racial justice and native rights blogger at the nation or a god oh thank you so much for coming on ora i have a thanks for having me so i wanted to first ask about this piece of legislation bill c. forty five which many believe is a challenge to indigenous sovereignty talk about who benefits from the bill and who stands to lose the most. it's really corporations that are going to benefit the most. these protests have really started up because this huge huge piece of legislation we're talking about four hundred fifty pages worth of legislation and huge omnibus bill. includes changes to the indian asked which is something that shouldn't be pa

the result of all those years of dedication to the land and animals is beef with extraordinary flavor's almost as memorable as the surrounding landqcape. the once-niche product has become a staple among chefs looking for the newest and greatest product, especially when it comes from a local legend. >> it is funny to say. you hear the words "up-and-coming company," but people are like, "hearst? he's been around for a long time." but yet their beef and their ranch is relatively new, their product on the market. and so far, it's just a wonderful product, so they're slowly growing that. and it's a great concept because they're very unique in what they do. they start from finish to the end. >> and this historic working cattle ranch and landscape will be preserved forever thanks to one of the largest land conservation easements in california history. it's just one more way that the hearst legacy is living on through the land and agriculture that have been part of this famous family for generations. >> i thought it might ruin it for me when i took over running the properties and--you know, b

we had landed. we noticed. maybe we can make it. in this imaginative projection, the scientists become the rover, and this experience on mars is essential to the success of the mission. it enables them to hatch new field science. to know what rocks and soils are nearby, and what they can reach or how long it might take to get somewhere, they use a combination of 3-d images, computer graphics and simulations often overlaying them. these visualizations allowed them to point to places, give them names and control precisely where new photographs are taken and where the instruments are placed. so for example, they would draw a yellow bounding box to specify where a camera should zoom in for a more detailed image. each photograph can be used like a map of an area on mars because its location relative to the rover is precisely registered in the planning program. as we move in from panoramas used for navigating to images of outcrops to the microphone of graphs, we can see and mark off the details. even small rocks and patches of soil might

all the landing craft for headed in the wrong direction, at the time they were supposed to land at 6:30 a.m. the air force bombed pointe du hoc, if the rangers had landed at the time they were allocated, they were all have been killed by their own bombers, at the wrong that and the going to point to place. the official assigned to pointe du hoc because of the mission to a thousand men, could not get in contact with the second ranger battalion at that time. everyone of the radios didn't work. they went to their secondary objective and landed on omaha beach at exactly the right time and place they were supposed to. they were the only reserve force at the time. meanwhile, force a which was the second ranger battalion and dog co. at pointe du hoc, they were outnumbered by the germans on top of the point in the power attack. this was the scene in immortalized in president reagan's speech, the voice of pointe du hoc, they got out of their landing craft, some -- the main character of my book, landed in a shell hole and went under water completely, completely submerged under water, a massive

very wealthy land owner. owned at one point i think they say 1/12 of san francisco in land. most of it was in the west side of the city. robert fitzgerald was called the king of carville. he was an early settler to carville. jacob heyman that realtor, started being called the father of carville. we'll see why in a second. and this guy on the left, colonel daley, was often called the pioneer father of carville. he really gets a lot of the credit. here's colonel daley in his little shed. how do we describe him? he's sort of a 1890's bohemian, a bit of a herm yit. most importantly, he was a friend of adolph sutro's. and sutro had a real estate shack on the northwest corner of the sunset. he let colonel daley squat in there essentially. he went out every morning, walked along the beach. whatever washed up he brought back to his shed and created quite a large little compound of old bottles, shoes, anything that washed up. a ship wreck. provided a bunch of lumber. he made a sleeping loft in his cabin. for a while he had a wife. she didn't wash up in the waves. but she did eventual

you mean, her breasts are actually landing gear? >> yes. >> silicone implants, so that she would roll along the ground and do graceful landings. >> reporter: while the males have to resort of to sort of sticking their landings, she's shapelier than a speeding bullet. jeanne moos, cnn -- hey, get your hands off her, gary! >> is my wife going to see this? >> reporter: -- new york.

growth and is comprised of land that includes undeveloped, developed, and developed land.so different owners and different developmental time frames. essential corridor has been identified as a type two pilot. and our third ecodistrict, the living neighborhood, which is going into areas of the city that aren't necessarily accommodating growth, and through tactical urbanism, finding ways that will alter patterns of behavior to more sustainable ways. so if you live in a neighborhood and you typically drive your car to costco, what would make you reconsider, and cross the street and visit your local grocer. we haven't identified a neighborhood yet. we're in the process. we're working with the invest in it neighborhoods initiative, through the office of economic and workforce development, and the neighborhood empowerment network, also through the mayor's office, and we have a grant to help us do outreach into neighborhoods, and work with neighborhoods and finding what that would mean to them. lastly, our fourth ecodistrict type four type is the industrial network. this is actu
