essentially, it would be another long term rights. host and a new agreement, especially the one that came before the port commission, had a very defined basket of rights and an expectation of the cost. as often happens, costs both in terms of the costs to work on property, and the extent of the project and other work that has to happen. because we have made an acknowledgement and understand the scope and work that the event authority is proposing, we have also essentially adjusted what we think the rightful give- get is in terms of a recoverable basket of goods. finally, there was some acknowledgment between port staff of city in the event authority that the items we just laid out might not be enough to recover the cost represented by authority infrastructure work and deferred authority infrastructure work. we were seeking another source of repayment, and it exists essentially a bucket of availability in fulfilling our obligations and repaying them appropriate to the magnitude of work. what we are looking for is formal participation i

, the land use impact for the long-term development under the host agreement. cultural resources impact also for the long-term development at pier 3032, transportation impacts for ac-2012 and 2013 event, several intersections at secondary viewing areas. transit impacts remain unavoidable that would exceed of muni lines the presid-go transit service, ferry lines, golden gate ferry line, blue and gold ferry lines, san trans lines and transit operations related to additional congestion and destruction of regular scheduled ferry operations and transportation network impact in combination with other special events in san francisco happening simultaneously and we did fine long-term developments for impacts for transportation also. a couple of other impacts that did remain significant, unavoidable included noise and air quality as i had touched on earlier. accumulative air quality impacts would remain. for the cruz terminal the significant unavoidable impacts would be transportation and circulation, mainly on the s market and war of's historic streetcar line. we did f

you have long term development rights granted to the authority. none of those intrinsically have anything to do with each other. it is part of a financial package to try to make everything work. that is fine, except to try to cram something that does not go together into a time frame that is not adequate. the result is clear throughout the draft eir and final eir. remember, ceqa requires a good faith response to comments with empirical information and expert opinion, things that are real. what you see is a continual restatement of what the draft eir says, which is not responsive under the law. i believe that sound was my 15 minutes, in which case, i will conclude. i will conclude by asking the board tried to do something here that keeps the prospects for settlement of this dispute more likely than not. thank you. president chiu: i will start off with two questions. the first issue was whether this was a project level of analysis. i know the planning department has responded by stating that in the final eir there is an understanding that future pla

i am a long-term aids survivor. i was living in san francisco and going to san francisco state at the nadir of the aids epidemic. i lived in one apartment where i am the sole person still alive out of the five people that lived in that department. today's "reporter," page 3, one says we were the guinea pig population. my case, i was disability retired in the 1990's i did not contribute much into the social security system. i am on private long-term disability insurance. i worked for a major hospital and another city for a long time and move back here. and so when i get to be age 65, my long term disability stipend which is modest, a couple thousand, middle-class, will go way and i will be on ssi-like income of a few hundred dollars a month. i am not unique. there are hundreds of not thousands of people like myself and it is not being talked about. i hope that can start getting into the discussion. i wish i had more time. i have met lgbt seniors committee dealing with hiv and aids living in their cars and homeless sh

also looking at their long-term construction costs, as well as long-term programming and upkeep costs. that was the perspective on their side, the perspective from the city side, of course, is to see the maximum value in any lanson transaction to 40% was a negotiated figure which allow for the boys and girls club to adequately recoup their costs. but to the city's satisfaction that the city would receive its maximum value should in the transaction occurred. supervisor chu: finally, a question about the way that we structure this bill to restructure this as a sale as opposed to a long-term lease. it is not unusual for entities, such as a redevelopment agency, which is in its own predicament at the moment, to enter into a long-term lease that make it worthwhile for developers to add on that. entering into a 99-year lease or sound like that. did we consider a long-term lease versus an outright sell? >> we did consider a long-term lease and decided in favor of a sale for a few reasons. the first is that when we look at the net present value of the lease, we estimate, weatherby 60, 66, 99-

currently 10 million americans need long-term care and five million more will need long-term care over the next decade. yet, only 8% people have long-term care insurance. instead of putting people in medicaid, we should providing americans with the tools they need to plan for the future. that's what the intention of the class act and the purpose of the national clearing-house for long-term care information was all about. now, i know my friends will say, well, just trust us, we are going to come up with something down the road. would it have been refreshing in the spirit of bipartisanship if we had come up with something before they chose to just outrightly repeal this projigs? maybe this would have been an opportunity -- provision? maybe this would have been an opportunity for people to come together. they say, no, we're repealing it. that fits in with our campaign rhetoric for 2012, we are going to repeal it and the american people, just trust us. take two tax breaks, call me in the morning. that's all you need to worry about. the american people expect congress to work each and every

, and, the elimination of the long term marina in the rincon point open water basin. there was also an alternative for a reduced spectator program as well, which also covered the elimination of long-term marina development in the rincon point open water basin. the project we have proposed to you for approval is really sort of a blend of different components that come from that, but essentially from an environmental impact perspective, it is closest to the reduced development sub- alternative described in chapter 11. with that, we have all of the venue events that have been described for 2012 and 2013 as planned and a summarize for you by mike martin -- as plant and as summarized for you by mike martin. it would include pier 30-32, see what 330, pier 26, 28, and 29 -- seawall what -- sea wall -- seawall lot 330. for the temporary berthing, for the event in 2013, there would still be some limited birthing within the ring conn -- rincon open water basin. the breathing would be essentially north and south of the pier 13 public access here. for the long term marina develop

capital management blew up in 1998, it was big news. >> reporter: dan, the long term capital fund lost billions in the recent market turmoil and last night, stood on the brink of collapse. >> long term capital was an economic train wreck waiting to happen. it was leveraged 100 to 1. it was in every kind of speculative investment known to man. in russian equities, in thailand bonds, and everything in between. and it was enabled by wall street. >> reporter: an emergency meeting was organized by the federal reserve last night, here at its new york office. at the table, more than a dozen of wall street's biggest bankers and brokers including david komansky, chairman of merrill lynch, sandy weill of travelers and sandy warner of jpmorgan. one by one the firms each agreed to kick in more than $250 million to bail out long-term capital before its troubles sent shockwaves through the banking system. >> why did the fed step in, organize all the wall street banks, and kind of sponsor this bailout? because all of the wall street banks that enabled long term capital to grow to this giant size

because nothing specific's been proposed long-term. and using the word "conceptual level clearance" what we're really trying to highlight is because there is so little that can be analyzed the level of environmental coverage is basically conceptual at a basic level. it's derived from kind of what can be reasonably expected based on what's been proposed in specific years on the waterfront, things that have been part of the port, thinking about what could happen but they don't represent specific proposals. if i could illustrate the distinks of a the -- distinction of the bicycle programming afrpblt r. a -- a.r. at the more precise level where n.t.n. planners, bicycle folks knew that they were going to do sharos. what we did was we did what i would consider a fine grain level of coverage. if you did sharos on the bicycle network we are basically providing coverage. and if you were going to do that spir else, you needed to look it it for closely. i would say at the other end of the spectrum at a more well he defined level, we had long-term

now, on long-term youth unemployment, he is wrong on the facts. long-term youth unemployment which has that scarring effect on our young people, desperate for work, out of work for more than six months, that has doubled. that has doubled in the last year. so however much he twists and turns about the figures can he confirm that it is up by one or 2% in the last year and? >> i've explained the figures and if you look at young people, if you look at the number of young people have been out of work for longer than 12 months, that number has started to go down. that's not nearly enough. far more needs to be done but that is from the work program. that is what he needs to understand. there's a context to all of this. if you want to get unemployment down we've got to keep interest rates down. we've had a reminder come in recent days what happens if you don't have a plan to get on top of your deficit, get on top of your debt and get your economy moving. that's what he doesn't understand. and what you have is a government that is absolutely clear about it

i am on private long-term disability insurance. i worked for a major hospital and another city for a long time and move back here. and so when i get to be age 65, my long term disability stipend which is modest, a couple thousand, middle-class, will go way and i will be on ssi-like income of a few hundred dollars a month. i am not unique. there are hundreds of not thousands of people like myself and it is not being talked about. i hope that can start getting into the discussion. i wish i had more time. i have met lgbt seniors committee dealing with hiv and aids living in their cars and homeless shelters, couch surfing, living in sro's. some of them are dealing with dementia, hiv related or not and giving the loss of their partners and espouses. i have personal experience. i am grateful to scott and the supervisor campos and supervisor delonte -- olague. the need is great for more services. thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. kraska afternoon. -- good afternoon. i am 84 and a member of the senior leaders group of open

i would also mention that on page 2 of the motion, in one of, the second major cause, long-term development rights, that we add a clause which states which were analyzed at a general level that additional review would be conducted with one or more specific proposals for development submitted to the city. i have heard from all the parties from the planning department, the yvette authority -- event authority, that when proposals come to this city we conduct the appropriate review. i think it is important we reiterate that. i would like to amend the proposed motion which is item 30. would be ready to vote on it today. i hope they take the time to look carefully at some of the issues that have been raised. i am happy to have that discussion. i know a number of concerns have been raised including pierre 29 about whether or not the >> 1% of sales of condominiums and that is being accumulated, and i think a number of those issues zero. to whether or not the city and county of santa skull and the taxpayers are getting a fair deal. we want america's cup to be in san francisco, but we want to make su

(music) i'm a person in long-term recovery for 25 years. part of what we're trying to do today is to say addiction is like any other chronic illness. if i break a leg, you know, or i have a lung disease, you know, i have some pretty full access to care. if we truly mean that-that addiction and mental health are like any other chronic disease, we need to, you know, take a look at our public policies and-and ensure that we're-we're-we're treating it in that way. (music) go out of your way to find out what faces and voices and samhsa and your local organizations are doing for next year, for 2012, and-and do what you've got to do, you know, to get out there and say "hey, yes. we're in recovery. we do recover. we are active, productive citizens in your community. hear us." (music) it's such a special day in so many different ways. it's a community coming together, out in the sunshine in the city of providence, to say to all the residents of our great state that people in recovery are important, that the message of recovery and hope is possible f

we've levelled the playing field to give all michiganders a fair shake for the long-term. we've made major improvements with local government forms that encourage more transparentally, better health care costs and service sharing between communities. for example we now have 435 jurisdictions doing dashboards. we created a $5 million pool to fund innovative collaborations between governments and the first award out of this pool was to grand rapids, flint and lansing to joint process their income tax returns. the $550,000 award they received resulted in over $2 million of savings over the next nine years. this exercise was due in great partnership of the legislature and i especially thank representative mark lemette for his effort on this. we completed much of our education reform package, as i said earlier, our current standing of only having 17% of our students being college ready is unacceptable. our children are our future, and we need to make sure they are not just college ready, but career ready. we need to start an early childhood and finish with lifelong learning, wh

real, find growth, long-term growth.a change of mindset in the european leaders. you know, they never, ever understood all the asian leaders saying hey, come invest in my country. this is why you should invest in my country. i'll give you this benefit, tax benefits. these are the things we've been doing for the last few decades, and it's worked. now, why doesn't europe try that? and that's why asians say okay, you start that, we will come invest in you. >> it's one year since the arab spring that captured the imagination of the whole world. and i think it's fair to say people are a lot less optimistic one year out than they were at the time. fears centered around chaos around dictatorships which are not ceding power as the rise in egypt, the rise of islamic parties. how would you assess -- give us a state of, you know, is there a way to assess this young revolution one year year in. >> one year ago, if we had this kind of meeting, talking about the arab world, we would have very grim, depressing picture because the whole

in the existing lawn chair -- long term care facilities. they're not-we're not enjodeserg of such injustice. i recommend we protect our seniors at the most quotable time of our lives, old age. please consider an increasing funding. >> good afternoon. i am 57. i am a psychotherapist in a community mental health agency that provides services to the gay and lgbt community. i would like to talk briefly about the mental health needs which are too often neglected in our community. health has about medical and mental health issues and there are unique mental health issues that our community faces. those of us that live -- lived through the devastation of the 1980's are experiencing ptsd- like symptoms as we grow into older age. many of us have been forced to leave san francisco and increased isolation. many are talking about who will hear our stories? as many people have shown, many of our peers are gone and we do not have children. i facilitate a support group for men over 50 which frequently was full. with the change in funding i have had to lim

during these periods of time, there was discussion of around long term development rights. in particular, they had to do with piers 14 and 14 1/2. along with the good work of port staff, particularly with the event authority, through mr. berkley's considerable help and understanding of the concern that were raised, our offices willingness to work with him to find a solution, we would like to announce in cooperation with the port commission we have a solution. we have agreed to an exchange of development rights with the organizing committee, the event authority. they will be giving up their long-term development rights to pier 14 to 22 1/2 and will be offered and have accepted the rights to pier 54. i think that is a major agreement. a lot of concern were raised about views, the impact of developing in front of those marina piers. this has been a wonderful solution, took a lot of sensitivity on everyone's part to understand those concerns, while at the same time, making sure we've fulfilled the eir. we are working for different sets of hands as we are moving the acr event fo

again, in the medium and long-term.the country decoupling the financial sector from the sovereign. and it is, you know, what you observe of course in the u.s., might have problems, it will not create problems for the banks. so this is the medium long-term perspective in my opinion. let's not embark into generalize renationalization of the financial sector. it's true for the area particularly seems to me but also true at the global level. we have to be very careful not to re-embark in a renaturalization mode which would be contrary of course what's been done in the past. that does not mean we have a problem of systemic stability of the financial sector at the global level and that we do not have to embark into resolution concepts that would permit to cope with problems if there are problems for multinational entity that would have stakes in various countries. but, again, let's be very cautious there because i have to say that we have to do what is required by the crisis, but never lose sight of the medium long-term persp

for long-term shelter. >> for shelter, we're trying to pare down that list. right now we found 51 slots, but you're looking at more slots there could be available? >> it is not simply the waiting list for shelter, which is 253 families, it is also the families that are currently in a shelter. that is the universe we're trying to pare down to get into public housing. you over that more slots in the shelter system, and then of course, degrees them. about longer term plans, reopening the discussion around preferences and preference points for homeless families on the public housing side, and looking at what some other jurisdictions have done, which is the section a program, the vouchers at a public housing and whether or not -- well, we're going to explore whether we can set aside some section 8 vouchers for homeless families, and that is a discussion that we have begun and will continue to have. i am not going to pretend to know the hud rules that are part of the waiting list dynamics. henry alvarez can speak to that. but we're very enthusiastic about our renew

on long term use unemployment, he is wrong on the facts. long-term use unemployment would have that scarring effect on young people desperate for work, a lot of work for more than six months. that has doubled in the last who few years. can he confirm that central banks are up by 102% in the last year? >> i will explain the figures. if you look at the number of young people who have been out of work for longer than 12 months, that number has gone down. far more needs to be done, but that is what the work program is all about. there is a context to all of this. if we want to get unemployment down, we have to keep interest rates down. we have a reminder of what happens if you do not have a plan to get on top of your debt and get your economy moving. that is what he does not understand. what we have as a government that is clear about its plan and an opposition that has no idea. last year he marched against the cuts. now he tells us he excepts the caps, -- accepts the cuts and now he tells us he wants to spend more and borrow more. he cannot ev
