so -- i understand he's wanting to legalize after the fact. it really negatively impacts our -- our property or family and -- it is nothing to do with the neighbors. so thank you. >> thank you. project sponsor, two minutes. good evening. i'm winston montgomery, the owner of 5 seymour street. i heek to introduce more letters -- i like to introduce more letters on seymour street supporting my attempt to legalize the work that was done. i have done work in 1992. we did a kitchen addition with all full permits. i think i learned my lesson in 1987. so i don't think -- i don't think you know -- i'm a serial criminal that will here for this project. here's a copy of the alamo square newsletter. i was a previous board peb and we -- we -- my wife and i lived on the streets since 1987. we loved seymour street and we devoted a full addition of the alamo square newsletter to the houses, is the house history, actually -- my house was built this -- in 19 -- i mean, 1873. the lynn nahrs house this 1875. they're not really twin houses. i interviewed neighbors

it was -- it was also ill legally built by the current owner. the original roof trellis overhangs our property line. it has a lot of epoxy plastic over lattice and solid wall ralingeralinge which makes it a room, no the a deck. the whole structure is six inches away from our property line. and the trell hiss obstructs the -- the trellis on instructs the sunlight to our home. it is explained we're at the north 150eud. we're positioned north in comparison with the subject property. it definitely obstructs direct light and sunlight to our home and rear cottage and the rear yard. it is an invasion of privacy, its -- it is a monstrous -- it is a monstrous addition. so, thank you. i don't know what else to say. yes. i have another picture, can i show it? yes? it is not a picture. it is a drawing. it does show this -- this is the property at five seymour. this is the actual trellis where it is located on top of the -- of the rear deck. this is the impact it lan they -- it has on our property. i want to add we're very impacted by this. >> thank you. >>

that is the measure to legalize and tax marijuana. a local school board has taken a stand.n mateo voted to officially oppose proposition 19. to as lisa amin gulezian reported in august, they hope the action con villages school officials across the state to do the same. >> i want to have something that says this is a bad idea. >> this trustee feels that proposition 19 which tends to legalize marijuana will hurt schools and students. he urged board members to take a stand against it. >> it's bad for kids, it's bad for our employees. >> peter is worried if prop 19 passes. people can start growing pot inside their homes which may be near a school, unlike alcohol there is no way the measure how high someone is at work. anyone over 21 could legally have an ounce of pot in their possession. >> proposition 19 only prohibits adult consumption. so it allows adults to have marijuana on our school campuses? >> that's right. >> that is significant. >> we don't think this proposition in any way endangers school kids. >> dave hodges is the founder of the cannibis buyers collective. he agr

i would not say that in many instances, legalizing -- "legal" is a strong term. in our business and sales business, we try to avoid that term. it has many implications. to say something illegal is -- to say something is legal or illegal has a lot of implications. we cannot really say. we can say it does permit it or not permit it. what is or is not authorized is a different statement. we have to be mindful. one thing i wanted to say about jeremy pose a question was, there are quite a few very good people in san francisco to go to if you want to legalize something that had been done without a permit in the past, or you want to get a permit for every model that was done or a bathroom that was added downstairs without a permit, and you feel like your uncle maybe was -- may have done it properly. oftentimes, it is no big deal. it is a good thing to do. there are many companies that specialize in doing just that. you can do that. it depends on your goal. if your goal is to sell the property or to avoid neighbor complete -- there could be two different goals with two d

me no you have to come in legally you don't come in illegally and then say i don't care not going to hear you know i don't really buy or do you disagree with a judge a could go ahead jump in so all right so you know what a couple of points here up until nine hundred twenty there was no illegal immigration to the united states because the united states had an open borders policy so that's it with the exception of chinese which we excluded until the fifty's right so we have to remember that that the whole notion of an illegal immigrant is is historically speaking it's a new thing michel asked me earlier how do i know what people were thinking in one nine hundred ten well it turns out that they wrote some things down and so if you just look through the historical record on this you can see and you know i know i have a grandfather who came over knows a great great grandfather who came over from germany in the eight hundred fifty s. but the germans were not a welcome with open arms they receive the same kind of reception that today's immigrants are receiving benjamin franklin wrote about

one, legal immigration vs illegal immigration. legal workers versus illegal. i think that the problem is the illegal workers. if the country needs more legal immigrants to work, that is an issue that needs to be solved to the answer is not just to allow more illegals into the country. the answer is to solve the legal process to come here as a migrant worker. that seems to be the problem that should be solved. the other issue is wages. based on your written testimony, a person that works in the field can make up to $3 or $360 per week -- $300 or three in a $60 per week. a person can draw unemployment as a citizen of up to $390 per week. if americans are not employed and receiving unemployment and the wages are so low in the farm industry, they lose the motivation to work because people in the farm industry are underpaid, whether they are legal or illegal. as far as jobs that americans won't do -- i represent southeast texas. i represent people that work off shore. talk about hard jobs. those jobs are very tough for americans to do, but they do that because they
