the problem. 15 years later, water quality is on the agenda of every city council person in that local city, and that's completely a result of activists forcing the issue, surfrider and other local groups, saying, "hey, these water quality issues are real and you need to address them." and only until the public sort of creates that will will the politicians respond. narrator: while some cities deal with infrastructure issues, others have concerns about the sustainability of water supplies. allbee: it's not just about the sustainability of the assets, it's about the sustainability of our water resources. parts of this country that thought of themselves as water rich 20, 30 years ago, now are discovering that they really are not water rich, they have source supply issues, they have serious questions about how they're going to accommodate additional growth in their communities. melosi: if we can find alternatives, we can preserve a water supply. conservation of water is a way of generating more water. allbee: we think that a household can actually reduce its water usage by about 30%. and that'

relatively small and not the enormous number that has been bandied about in the past. 57% of locality, citystates, are sail saying they're better able to meet their needs this year as opposed to last year. >> what's your take on that? >> i mean, it's an opinion. the facts are that the municipalities have less money today than they had a year ago. they will have less money tomorrow than they had a year ago. most municipalities increased property tax, so that's a one-time spike that's gone. states consistently are cutting back funding to municipalities. you know, it's -- it's her opinion. time will tell. >> but the fact is -- sorry. >> it's not a good story. i mean, i think that you have examples of politicians, elected officials doing the right thing and improving the state's finances. but as an individual, ann a business owner, you're not going to go to the broken states. you're going to the stronger states because you're looking at state sustainability so that means more revenue goes to stronger states, less revenue left over for weaker states that trickles down or doesn't trickle down to

the local operating subsidy program ensures that a homeless person can be taken off the streets or out of the city'sgency care system and housed and provided services, even if he or she has a zeroing come. -- zero in come. now what would like to talk to you about the process for the local operating subsidy approvals. eligible projects are permanent supportive housing that have been approved by the city-wide affordable housing loan committee which is made up of staff from moh, directors for moh, the department of public health, and human services agency. most staff prepares 30 pages plus evaluation that reviews and analyzes all components of the project, including design, construction, and/or its rehabilitation, as well as the operating phase. this evaluation is then presented to the loan committee for review, comment, discussion, individual approval. moh issues the first permanent supportive housing notice of funding available to provide capital funds in 2004, initiating construction or rehab of 300 units in at three different projects. those projects you have probably seen, because we had board of

that, i mean, congressman markey and i have had some discussions about it, i've been briefed locally. the city of arlington, texas, has a license to operate a drone. but since they're near dfw international airport, the license is so restrictive that it's literally being flown in a field near lake arlington. they don't have the ability yet to even do traffic surveillance up and down interstate 30 or interstate 20. so i see both sides of it. i see, i see a real law enforcement capability, young, going after traffic violaters and drug dealers and that, you know, and things like that. but on the other hand, too, i can see real privacy issues that need to be addressed. what's so ironic about the drones is that the city of arlington, the police department have a license, but it's so restrictive they basically can't use it. but i could go to a hobby store in arlington and buy a drone with almost no restrictions on what i use it for. you know? ii could fly it up and fly it over into my neighbor's backyard and fly around, you know, as long as i don't violate some public access at dfw airport, somethin

city. it is the red cross. the salvation army, the local church, synagogue,ç mosqueç, whatever.re little bigger, who else is there? neighbors helping neighbors. ças it gets a little bigger, or even if it is a small house fire, in the neighborhoods of this city and neighborhoods across the country, if something çhappens, there is usually a local business that knows the family and been dealing with for a while and says that will help them out in some way or another. i remember last year i was traveling in the floods of north dakota. there was a family i was talking to at one of the shelters who lost their home. he said the one good thing was he did not lose his car. he had sent it to the shop the day before. the shop where it was getting fixed was not affected by the floods. then he said he went back yesterday to pick up my car. as he picked up hisç car, the y said it is ok. he showed me the bill. it was like $800 bill for repairs. it said "paid in fullñr." he said take care of yourself in your family. he picked up the tab, a small- business garage. that happened every day on s

locally. that is not only important to us as a city, but clearly, coming from the u.s.ference of mayors this past weekend, we realize cities across the country are looking atz!zxxf transportation systems and making sure they are connected appropriately, whether there are regional or state or federal. so we are doing the right things. whether it is connecting with top -- caltrans to make sure that high-speed rail is appropriately convicted for the

local schools. they are part of the fabric of the city. -- support local supply companies and higher -- hire local tradesmen. the small to medium-sized builder is seldom perceived or treated with the same measure of support as small businesses. part of the american dream is to prosper, to climb the ladder, and at cheap. in the construction industry, people start out working for someone else on a job site. after winning their trade or skills, might move on to remodeling jobs. the five to nine projects are a crucial part of this latter, and by impacting this category, you are taking a critical wrong out of the latter, thereby prohibiting advancement in the construction field -- you're taking a critical rung out of the ladder. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am kevin birmingham. i am a realtor, but more importantly, i am a native san franciscan. i have watched many of my friends and people in my family moved out of san francisco because there is an affordable housing problem in this city. i am getting on the board of realtors, and i am on the housing authority board committee, and we a

the good news is cities are focused on trying to do something about it because local city governmentsluxury of being on the both side of every issue. the public demands action. you see around all the progress we're making whether creating jobs or improving the environment or improving education or trying to fight against guns all of those things are done at a local level. nothing is getting done at a federal level. >> a lot of conservatives say that's a good thing that the federal government is not doing very much. what's the counter argument? >> i think that's fair to say but the federal government still takes all of our tax money. if the federal government didn't tax and let the cities do those taxes you could make that argument. but as long as the federal government is taking taxes which conservatives say are too high, then they have a responsibility to use those monies intelligently to help the cities. there are clearly thing we have to do at a national level, defense and thing like that. but there are things at a local level that the local governments can do. the trouble is that

the local cities didn't care, they were fine with it, but the federal prohibitionists were coming inand throwing respectable people in paddy wagons, and i think that is analogous to the ridiculous hassle you guys are forming. americans who don't know that this facility, this help center here, this is not a johnny come lately, this is not a sense of millionaires, people trying to cash in and get rich, these are people who have been in the movement of trying to end the wrong drug war for decades and trying to help patients. to be under federal threat as you guys are here is an abomination as a taxpayer and a patriot and a voter. i am outraged to hear that you and so many other great providers, american cannabis providers, are being threatened around the nation. so let's make sure that's stated for the record. but i do believe we're in the final throes. i think that what we're seeing is desperation, and it's contrary to public opinion. as i am touring around the nation and telling people that people like matt cohen of northstar organics, locally-permitted, tax-paying members are getting
