these are middle-class jobs. people educated and worked and found their way out with lots of support from the government. it was anything but a natural, organic thing. this was a self designed and created attempt to bring these men and women, their children, into the flour of the middle class. it was created. that is important we look at what the world is doing now. today, we are letting are middle-class founder -- flounder for itself. you hear a lot of vocalization of tax cuts for the middle class. tax cuts alone will not begin to satisfy the needs of this middle class that i have described. the first cracks in the facade of the middle class happened in the 60's. it began with social unrest. the were a lot of people who were uninvited to the middle class. it was an african-american issue at first and then it became a youth issue as people began to divide along the lines of vietnam and the ways that racial and other kinds of inequality -- equality were being embrace. you cannot have a chunk of people who were sup

and i think -- when we talk about our ability to keep a middle class, middle income families here ishat i've probably heard since the first year i was here. that's why i went on a little crusade to get the city to actually talk about family housing because many of our middle income families were all leaving and for -- not only because of the price, it's just that there isn't any housing for them. and i think yesterday -- was it yesterday? wednesday. yesterday at the food board meeting when we talked about the giants. development mission lock. people were worried -- even before last year's discussion. people -- like supervisor kim, it was already in the forefront and pushing for a bigger percentage of affordable housing that would include middle income housing. the alberta reservior project that is in my district initially they were talking about 33% of affordable housing for low and mod. because of the consciousness of everybody we were able to push it up to 50%, in which 17% of it would go for mod to middle income individuals. [ please stand by ]

the middle east will need help from the larger international community to success. to succeed in such a mission. i ask all nations and the middle east to accept an invitation to participate in such a holistic security agreement i urge all nations to continue putting diplomatic pressure on my region to get this done. we must start with a regional security agreement before the middle east can put the turmoil in the past. with the greater good in mind we remain hopeful for a future where to security. both for the state and for the individual is establish for all nations thank you very much. the emir of cancer they're talking about shared security based on a common interest which hasn't really happened across the region he's saying that a lot of the problems are caused by people losing faith in the idea of accountability and that leads to suffering and injustice across the broader region which in itself in cold kates an atmosphere of extremism and allows extremism to flourish she also said the certain countries across the region do not meet the basic needs of their peop

how are you viewing his middle eastern policy? his middle east policy is brilliant. of timey short period he has taken on one of the most difficult historic paths ever. we all know that there is no -- the middle east is a culmination of tribes and flags and a very competent animal. what president has done with rex tillerson and jared kushner is trying to expedite what has to happen in the region, which is a real development of a diverse economy, to give hope, faith and confidence to a growing young population without which we would not have real problems. -- without which we will have a real problems. in this day and age, the country , and the together president of the united states showing up -- it is a return to the elegance of what it should be. not a defiance of radicals, but how greatent of countries like the emirates, saudi arabia, now with israel, and bring-- can align a more powerful balance to the region. tracy: what about u.s. politics? we have republicans and democrats still hashing it out over immigration. president trump saying things that he would welco

this is what we are facing now in the middle east. there are two different views as mentioned in one side is to continue to work with our allies and in working together bring the region together and in our path to prosperity in the other ones they want to take advantage of this very weak stage of moving from one phase to another and advancing their own aims. it's very important here for the world powers and mainly hear him talking about the united states and russia and they both have huge interests in the middle east. to work together to continue to find an understanding is defined in equilibrium because we would leave it to the countries of the region to do it themselves now at this huge conflict happening it will not necessarily produce the right outcome for us for the future and the main aim that we need to concentrate on here is to protect the nation's. some would say those nationstates were created in some way and whatever the christian reason was we can look back to that and if it was a line in the sand i'd rather keep that impe

the middle east, what makes the middle east so rich, the cradle of civilization, is the diversity in terms of religion, ethnicity, and i think the best path for the middle east also is rights more fundamental and freedoms for everybody, hopefully more democracy, but it is difficult. i think if we can go back, at one point it was highlighted by my saudi friend, is that youth is another issue. between now and 2050, you're going to get the working-age population growing by 180 million in our middle eastern region and north africa. for the next 35 years, you are going to have an extra 180 million coming onboard looking for jobs. once you overcome the challenges, today's challenges, the next challenge will be diversification, and better skills, education, and jobs for these 180 million youth that will come onboard. already the youth unemployment rate is relatively high. that is really the second challenge. it is a major one, something that we cannot overlook. clearly, a stable and prosperous , peaceful middle east is in the national interests of all of us. i think we should prosper with o

we have to have a middle class in the city. >> thank you. any other members wish to comment on this item? seeing none, can we entertain a motion -- >> i'm sorry, i did put my name -- by the way, i have the immense respect for supervisor sheehy and know he's a parent raising a daughter in san francisco but we went have to people here if we don't have housing and we're not just losing the middle class because of housing, we're also losing the middle class because we're not supporting them to stay once they are here. the middle class in 1990 made 40% of the population and went down to 33% and has probably gone down more since the last data point and i agree, we need to support everything. that is what is ultimately so disappointing about the measure before the board. i want to support something where we can have affordable housing and childcare move forward. unfortunately the time was not given to have that discussion back in november, december and in early january where we could have come together unified for childcare and affordable housing.

the conflict is the oldest in the middle east. but it is also the only conflict whose solution is shared. this solution is based on the principle of two states living with ae and security safe and recognized border. the border is along the lines of -- with a mutually agreed jerusalem is the future capital and agreed,tates realistic, and fair solution for the refugees. any negotiations has to be based on internationally agreed parameters. these parameters are not optimal, they create a framework for negotiation. we know very well that -- are linked. none of the two people will realize its national aspirations at the expense of the other. mr. president, we are at a crossroads. a critical state where each of the parameters are fragile. line, the settlement and colonization of palestinian newitory is creating reality on the ground. implementing a problem which is income edible -- which is incompatible with the two states. not careful this solution will disappear like a mirage in the desert. -- 1800 housingent of units has already been

a brief description of the middle east as it looks right now i call it the red in the black like the french novel by stand up well the red is isis. the radical sunni is the black is iran and its offshoots the radical shiites as the red compresses as the red compresses. and it will be wiped out very soon from the map of the middle east iran is moving in and we have fought both types of militant islam. israel contributed mightily to. the battle against the battle against isis by giving unmatched militant military intelligence that has prevented dozens of terrorist attacks in dozens of countries and we are absolutely determined to prevent iran from creating a new base in the west i call it isis west obviously egypt is fighting it as well to prevent isis from shifting its base from. iraq and syria into the sinai or into somalia and to africa and other places this is one battle that we are fighting successfully the unfortunate thing is that as iran as isis compresses and iran moves in it's trying to establish this continuous amp are surrounding the middle east from the south. in yemen but

what are the plans to take the people from the middle school to get them on their way? >> they have not said. they have not said at all. that will come from the county and the emc, the emergency operations center. we'll have to monitor them, but pine ridge middle school is within a half mile or mile at the most, it's right across from the state emergency operations center. for a place for this to happen, even though it is a terrible accident, we are blessed how close it was to everything in regards to services. the state emergency operations center, the school, we've got great resources here. >> and paul, if you would, you mentioned that when you got on the scene, you saw some of the walking wounded there. can you describe the nature of their injuries? >> i could not get that close, i did not try to get that close. the fire service, the ems, the police were on the scene already and more were coming, i pulled over several times to let the police cars pass me on the way over here. they were immediately converging. all you could see was some people walking along that appea

you know, the middle class took the real hit in the recession. and the incessant efforts on the part of the republicans and the president to continue to undermine their stability attacking one thing they need desperately, health care, getting poised to take on medicare and social security. you know, bill roth, a guy i worked with for years, did the first major tax cut, roth kent and used to use the phrase moors the cat, if you don't like them, don't feed them. all about building deficits, starving the government so there was no money for the things we know we need. does any of you doubt that paul ryan doesn't have as objective with the tax cut to starve the government, create deficits, make it incredibly difficult for us to provide health care? lay the ground work for justifying why we have to cut medicare and or social security? something that they have been trying to do for the better part of four decades. look, folks, i don't have a doubt in my mind if we can't cut out the time to remind people why we are democrats, presumptuous to say to you,

school, you have a golden ticket to any middle school. third, teacher-staff preference for bringing children to their own school where they work. a sort of variation of that would be to allow all sfusd staff to have a preference at any school as an incentive to work at sfusd. the fourth suggested change is whether to do away with the transfer mechanism that allows families to swap their choices for a higher preference choice, which is undergoing a test run right now on round one selection. and then, finally, a c-tip update. it's been several years since we looked at our census tracks and whether those should be adjusted. so the staff conducts a survey of families coming to the epc. they collected 988 responses, which is a lot in response to the suggested changes, so we talked a lot about where the kind of public opinion polls were on these five changes. the next meeting we'll be looking at demographic nationals and forecasts, so the next meeting will be held on may 3rd, and then modifications for the 19-20 school year will be brought forw
