having the cad i mentioned of the activity from the mid block to the corner and in this stance from micro to retail to clinic excluding the level the activity placing the retail makes sense to us when we looked to move to the north side this is a primary care center for universal access to skewer and the great difference of from the corner of 20th down towards 19th street required us to do ramping to get into that space we thought that ramping would seek further into the space and start eating into program area in the models we're looking at this is not a large size in the modern health care planning so having a retail components at the north side eats into the program area raise more concerns about the viability of the enterprise in and of itself accept especially in a health care dynamic a bunch of specialists caring for their patients does that answer your question to what your asking. >> i think that reflects the reasoning from the last time we were hear but i'll see what my fellow commissioners have to say they feel like the changes are reflective of that thank you. >> commissioner r

veronica colondam: they're all micro entrepreneurs. but they're not micro entrepreneurs by choice. they have to do it to sustain their livelihood, right? so we give them a little bit of capital so that they can scale their business and make or double their income. it is important to have this extra income. reporter: more than 100,000 micro loans have already been given to women. in the long term, they're a way to escape poverty to more prosperity. but only if their children get a better education. the social entrepreneur is convinced of that. that's why ycab also runs schools and learning centers. the fees are extremely low -- less than a euro a month. though for some, that's already a lot. hervina: i have to work to help my grandmother who's ill and pay my school fees. i also really wanted a cellphone. i worked hard, and i've finally got one. reporter: at 15, she's now the proud owner of a mobile phone and is determined to keep going to school. for the older pupils, learning combines practice and theory. that was important to veronica from the very start. these young men will be a

caused yesterday and less than five minutes ago they determined it was not a tornado but it was a micro burst. meanwhile meteorologist, cecily tynan, is at the "action news" big board. you made a point that a funnel cloud does not necessarily make a tornado, what is a micro burst and what is a tornado. >> we saw microrst is what we saw and last week a macro burst it can cause as much damage as a torn, and straight line winds and an ef 1 tornado in honey brook, the severe thunderstorm and the tornado warning was at 2:00, that is a lot of lead time with the tornado, maximum wind is 95 miles per hour, the path was as wide as a football field is long. that is 100 yards and it stayed on the ground for is1.5 miles the distinctive signature of a tornado, the southern hook of the flank of the storm to the south and east. people are asking me how does a tornado form, it is born out of a thunderstorm intense powerful towering thunderstorms, more than 40,000 feet up called a super cell, rapidly ascending air and vertical motion but what kicks off the spin is a rear flank down draft, that is when w

recommending to the company in terms of integrating both pieces of law and because san francisco has a micro business definition for businesses under 11 employees that's why we have two differences interpretations of the law with one for tenor more employees and one for under 10 not to say there may not be additional questions to be accompanied hopefully, you've had the opportunity to read through both of them and hopefully that worked for you to get our understanding as to if you're a business under 10 employees how to comply with the law and so for businesses with under 10 employees it is seems like there maybe somewhat an option not in terms of san francisco but in terms of dealing with the state so first want to ask if there are questions or things bryan or i need to clarify for you. >> i have a question. >> yes. >> i'm unclear i don't know if i understand the part an employer may require the paid sick leave is used in an hour of increments or less so it is written into the law that's the language i think - >> it is odd. >> it is odd it could be that the employer says one hour quarter-ho

our housing market is so hot now that micro housing -- micro units and group housing are now conceived as very profitable types of housing units and getting the financing that they never got before. that is something that we have been thinking a lot about and being that is the case, they should certainly be a part of our inclusionary housing requirement and part of our affordable housing solution as other market rate developers are. to give an example how well these units are proposed to be doing, the two group housing proposals on 351 turk street and 141 leavenworth is proposing to market these units to individuals that make 150% ami. so these are market-rate sro rooms typically that have gone to working-class, low-income individuals and these units will be marketed to a single individual making at least $107,000 a year. so these are really high-end micro units that they are proposing to build. for that reason, i think it's important that they be able to include inclusionary housing in their projects. i think that we are all in agreement about that. on the second piece about raising t

it ended up being a micro burst event for our area. meanwhile, storm scan three if you look closely it is tough to tell. we are finding frontal boundary stalling off nearby, off to the south and you you can see moisture with that, over west virginia, right now and just virginias in general. there will be showers to track through the southern tear of our area we think later on today with that moisture content starting to build in the atmosphere. meanwhile we will get you the eyewitness weather health report. air quality good. pollen levels low, up to medium at worse. uv index we are still calling it high. when you are up to a nine or so it is in what we call very high range. so sun block required but you will see more cloud further south we will go. heat index values use caution we are not dealing with too much humidity today but even still, it is that time of the year when you have to be careful about that kind of thing. lots of fluid at the ready for folks working outside landscaping, doing construction, you know the drill. we are up

in white hall township it was not a tornados that created the damage but straight line winds from a micro burst. remember we had a macro burst it's the same thing it pushes winds out ahead of it, a micro bust is smaller. this was about 2 1/2 miles wide. and shorter than five minutes in duration, but it only takes 0 seconds for the wind to do damage with a winds gust and that's what we had. we have no severe weather between now and 1:00, we're looking at showers and thunderstorms crews into the southern portion of the region. at times as we move through the afternoon there could be something that gets close to philadelphia and comes through briefly, but most of the action will will be closer to the shore. at 6:00 we're winding down along the coast. there's slight chance of severe weather to the south in sussex county, delaware. all of us are looking at garden variety thunderstorms. it might be clouding up by 9:00, 2:00 p.m., high high of 83 and 3:00 p.m., 84. 81 in allentown, 82 in reading. in trenton. staying in the 70s. if you do have a portion of the day where it's dry as you want to ge

by pure coincidence this morning i talked to someone who lives in the micro unit south of market in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the sit a and pays 1100 dollars a month which is dramatically different than what we for one bedrooms like south of market and castro. i don't agree with the concept that microunit somehow is not a key part of the mix. they are and we also know that most projects have a mix of sizes ranging from small medium and large and this is how it should be. this is good legislation and support it. >> supervisor campos >> i supported the motion to continue toward the oned thf meeting because i think it is important to have these kinds of conversations and glad we are having those discussions now. in terms of microunits, i supported the exploration of that concept before. i due gree different things work for different people. the concern that i have with microunit is to the extent they are paying 1100 for a very small room that does set the market for the same type of space or at least the amount of square footage and i can see the fact that it means that it
