a say that pittsburgh is such livable city et cetera i think is a farce. pittsburgh,i see in not enough minority hiring, development, the blight on the city. every time i come home to my parents i am so thankful that i'm no longer in that city. a lot of people need to know a lot of these cities aren't thriving especially under democratic rule because they will not be inclusive to certain minorities. that's the only comment i had to say. host: what your thoughts on baltimore? caller: baltimore has its problems but baltimore receives a lot more bad press than it does good. there are several portions of baltimore city that are thriving but you never hear about that. you only hear about the murder and crime rate. as far as the area surrounding, it's probably one of the richest areas in the country. median household income of $82,000 or more. media missed reports baltimore but it has its problems just like a lot of other places. host: thanks for the call from baltimore this morning. we are going to head out to the west coast this morning. sam is in san pedro, ca

with my suggestions, you will help assure while we add more homes and offices, we also make this city livable for all. thank you >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> the cost of undergrounding has variously been estimated at $1.3 million to upwards of $13 million, that shared funding through collaboration would increase project costs through decentralization and the subsequent increase in the number of stakeholders, as opposed to concentrating the present data. is there a data reference with existing thumb notation of maximum load capacity on a pole stock basis with the present load volume expressed as a percentage as a labor-savings measure and in the interests of maximizing utility to suit potential requirement. so in between the poles do they keep a running number or tally of what the capacity is on the pole and between the poles? so we have also heard, if i recall, two or three speakers mention pole mapping and restrictions on information related to homeland security issues. so i imagine the same is true in terms of the operation of laying underground fiberop

need to be circumspect around feeling that pressure over tiny things like that that make this city livable in the face of this kind of thing that's happening literally right across our boarder. so this is a poster child for why we have an sp 50. i mean, honestly. and i read this and i thought, well, poster child for sp 50. then i came across this one which is in my neighborhood three blocks away, we approved this two or three years ago. so this one here, i just feel like we're being played, i really do. this is an extended-stay america. this is not a housing project. the more i talk to the supervisors office, supervisor mandelman, the more i realize there is a lot of this going on in all of the projects we approve. so the problem that we're solving a housing crisis, we're solving a hotel crisis. we're going to hear from members of the community about projects in the mission. three floors of this project, two floors of this are hotel. one of our supervisors is working on a thing in the planning that cuts to this more. i don't want to approve any more projects without understanding what the

crime fell and american cities became livable again. property values rose. or neighborhoods got better. everyone benefited, and people started moving back. places that had been shrinking for decades. cities like washington and philadelphia started growing again. it was a great success. but that progress is being reversed now because on the left, "law & order" is now regarded as a hateful relic of a less progressive age. among america's 20 largest cities, san francisco now has the highest property crime levels in the united states. there are 70 car break-ins every single day. for the past four years, violent crime on the train has. that's enabled by rampant -- city officials are completely unwilling to stop. across the country america's most liberal cities have mayors who explicitly side with the criminals even against their own citizens. we are not overstating this. in dallas county, texas, for example, the district attorney there is refusing to criminally prosecute thefts of less than $750. if he decides the theft was "of necessary items." okay. and philadel

it doesn't go to build the infrastructure in the city, to make it clean, to make it livable by its own people. people are too afraid to speak up against this because in a country with an absolute monarchy, speaking about the distribution of wealth, about the corruption could get you in jail. could get you arrested, could get you in so much trouble. brian: so here is the second question that ties into this, a country that is basically a religious state. manal: yes. brian: how have you kept your faith when you have people that are leading this country, a religious state, that have done all of these things that you have just explained to us. manal: how i kept my faith? brian: yes. manal: my faith has nothing to do with them because i know whatever they promote is not the real faith. it is a diversion of the faith. the ideology of faith that we are fighting back. i have my own faith without needing them because i come from -- my grandfather is prophet mohammed himself. we had real faith and it was just used in a political way to gain political power. that's the thing i am against. when you
