mr. duffy's office. mr. mulligan will not be able to address these issues and we have gone out and hired another contractor to take the place of mr. mulligan. unfortunately, mr. hendrickson is at open heart surgery for his son and will not be able. certain other issues need to be addressed. we wished to work with mr. duffy's office to get this finalized. but prohibited because mr. mulligan's unavailability and mr. hu hutchinson new availability. the request was made. >> thank you. mr. and mrs. tang. you have three minutes to sponsored to this request. >> pamela tang appellant. good evening. we firmly object to the permit applicant's request for continuance. the board already given the permit applicant five weeks when originally, the board required the comprehensive plan in one week. it's been zero progress in five weeks. what will another five weeks accomplish? we've seen many contractors coming in and out our neighbor's house. there's no legitimate reason why the revision permit is not ready. at the previou

tough -- and mr. duffy told us, indeed, there is an opportunity for an easement, and a passageway, in the building is still code compliant, so that seems to end. we also offer the opportunity to the appellants to have a conversation. again, if it would have been me, i would have been on the phone not the next day. but it is not me, and the behavior is up to the individual , but the appellant chose clearly not to engage, and work on these things, so i am kind of of the mind to move forward and uphold the appeal conditionally to approve the permit with the condition that there's access offered during the construction period through an alternative means -- after the project sponsor's property. [please stand by] . . . . here we're dealing with the appeal and i am not sure if that condition was placed on this permit, how any department of the city would enforce it. also not really connected to the actual construction of the building permit itself. it probably would be something that the parties could reach a res

and mr. duffy can provide them counsel -- if not, we're going to be back here, we're going to follow what commissioner lazarus says, and say i do, and it's going to be a rough one for both parties. i'm sorry. any other commissioner comments? motion to continue this until the very next meeting so that the appellant and the project sponsor can work on the key issues to see if you can create a resolution to those issues. >> clerk: okay. and do you want them to submit plans in advance with approval of d.b.i.? >> president fung: they're not going to have enough time. >> vice president swig: there's not going to have enough time. if they can come back and show that they have a written agreement and outline, i think that's fine for me because they will have done some research with d.b.i. already. >> clerk: okay. so we have a motion from vice president swing to continue this matter to march 27 to the appellant and property owner can try to reach a resolution on this issue. on that motion -- [roll call] >>

mr. duffy or somebody about this very issue because clearly, it is the -- the number one outstanding item in this. and without this clarity of an easement, which is what is being posed here and now it has become a legal issue, i would find it very, very hard and -- to responsibly move forward on this item, so this continuance actually comes as a breath of fresh air for me. >> the existence of the easement claim and the pending lawsuit does not legally prohibit you from moving forward with the case today. >> vice president swig: even if -- even if it would really preclude my ability to -- to -- >> that's a discretionary matter up to you. if you think you would want to wait longer to see what the outcome of the lawsuit is. it could be years; it could be a long time before that is resolv resolved. >> i would be in favor of hearing it. i didn't see any evidence that there was an easement? there was no documents presented stating at such -- as such, so while it is the singular issue of this entire m

suggested saying legalize the deck, but that would be granting the appeal -- >> president fung: mr. duffy, could you clarify that. >> yeah. joe duffy, d.b.i. there was some questions about the plans being shown correctly on a window and a deck. we didn't have the drawings, so i think the drawings did take care of that. >> commissioner honda: the last time, they said there was a deck, they'd restore it to the previous, but there was really no deck there prior. >> there are photographs on the plans that show that existing condition. sorry you weren't given them. that's the issue and the missing part. >> president fung: so you don't feel the need to have that? >> no, i think the permit's addressed. i do think in this case, if this permit is upheld, we are going to have to go out there and get, you know, as you said, make sure the inspections were done right. if there's anything else, we want to give it a good once-over. but i think they're in good shape. >> commissioner honda: you warned them they should not come before this board again. >> i know. i've said that -- or me. they're on the rad

sanchez, anything further mr. duffy? anything further? commissioners, the matter is submitted. >> we are working on a concept. i'm sure all of my fellow commissioners will bring up the fact of how i react to it. >> it is you to me -- it is new to me so i'm looking forward to hearing it. >> it is interesting that that spot go on the roof decks that used to be in the backyard, the structure is also interesting that there is a fabulous view here, and i can understand the desire to have such an amenity, what i would be cautious of is how such an amenity then creates potential problems, which is what the neighbors are concerned about, and the only thing i can think of was, in some way, to make sure that this doesn't become a party deck, which is why i brought up the issue of potentially limiting how much lighting could go up there, except for what would be required for life safety. >> i would agree with that. >> so clarify for me why the addition of a hot tub makes it more then a party deck than just a deck itself. >> i think both do, you're r

duffy: thank you, madam chair. mr. chairman, good to see you. a quick question on insurance before we go on to other topics. i think you've indicated the u.s. insurance regulatory model has provided for strong solvency, our insurance companies are well-capitalized but now they're developing a new international capital regime. i think your colleague mr. quarrels and he did it would be -- indicated it would be a challenge for us to implement that new regime in the u.s. and so my question for you as your part of these negotiations is the u.s. going to agree to a new insurance capital set of regulations, or are we going to provide some pushback and try to get formal recognition of our u.s.-based model? chairman powell: my understanding is that we are working with that group internationally to make sure that whatever they do adopt in the end works for our system which we think is a good system. ,of course we are not going to implement something that doesn't work for us. we are working with that international group to make sure what is ultimately adop

. >> mr. duffy, what happens to people who say, c'mon, we're talking about such a small cost for everyday transactions, even if it makes it a teensy bit more expensive, it will it won't have an impact for consumers. what's your response to that >> that's not being educated on how the markets work the makers today are working on very thin margin if you were to tax them on -- you talk about losses they incur, too, it's a high percentage, 0.01% seems small -- >> but then what happens foot, everybody goes higher. when spreads widen between buyers and sellers, and there no intermediary, that will fall on the consumer when they reference other cunning around the world, kelley, jeb was spot on. they have failed there's not been any tax on a derivative around the world that's actually not been harmful to the participants of that country. >> congressman, it does seem like a tea party move that ushered in president trump you mentioned, look, there's a republican now, this proposal would go nowhere is it gives

cleaver, and the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. duffy, for introducing this initiative. and i of course would urge all members to vote yes on h.r. 1122. thank you, mr. speaker, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from missouri is recognized. mr. luetkemeyer: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in support of h.r. 1122, the housing choice voucher mobility demonstration act of 2019. as currently administered, housing vouchers are often insufficient in helping american families get access to neighborhoods with greater opportunities. that is why h.r. 1122 is so important. a strong body of research shows that growing up in a safe, low-poverty neighborhood with good schools improves children's academic achievement and long-term chances of success. and may reduce intergenerational poverty. a recent groundbreaking harvard study found that young children and families that used housing vouchers to move to better neighborhoods fared much better as young adults than similar children who remain in extremely poor neighborhood

mr. president, madame clerk, w. oh, duffy san francisco. the greatest problem of our time, "green book getting the oscar. i'll go with the brown bridge machine, which is alive and well. i'm speaking in more general terms about gun deaths. two thirds of gun deaths have occurred in areas like ours that are dominated by the democratic party. this party constituents get killed and the governments and communities injure the carnage. when the shooters are brought to justice, it is democratic governments that have to pay for the incarceration for the rest of their lives. if you recognize the cultural and physical location of the carnage of gun deaths, the only conclusion that you can draw is that the republican party has maintained dominance over the united states governance since november 22nd, 1963, not by being democratically elected, but by killing us. the national rifle association is the domestic terrorism of the republican party. the rest i will submit. >> thank you, next speaker, please. we have a contract to clean city cars. we are the on

come on in sean duffy, republican from comes in. another win for mr. drum.the country and i'm going to fight for it. virtually every democrat presidential candidate in the senate signed onto the greener deal. all of them -- if you believe in the greener deal in the polar vortex to have solar panels here at home or you want to get rid of wisconsin, you should go for that. leave the country. but they're not going to leave. they're going to take the easy way out. they won a bold plan to fix it but when it comes up for vote they know it's bad for the american economy and the american people. stuart: sean, on the left-hand side of the screen, kirsten gillibrand, senator from new york, democrat running for the presidency. on the left-hand side of the screen was that the people supporting the greener deal. tell me this. are those senators, democrats running for the presidency like curse and gillibrand, like bernie sanders. are they going to say presidents when they come out in favor of the greener deal. are they going to cop out of presidential candidate of their o
