>> yeah, mr. lee i just wanted to ask what models from other cities where you seen to create that ladder out of homelessness? that is the first question and the second one is how do european social democracies with a strong social net fund critical programs like we are trying to do? and i am wondering if you have any thoughts in either of those questions. >> and i think that the city that probably most familiar with is new york city. there is a lot of similarities between what we have tried here and what new york has tried. and some things that they have started first, and other things that we started first. but, both serving, you know, a population, that is you know, chronically homeless. and you know, i think they are faced with exactly the same issue that we are. and i don't think that there is a magic bullet out there in terms of you know, if we adopt this one, you know, aspect to it, we solve, you know, sort of, you know, all of this and all of the questions of the exits and you know, part of it,

please forgive me is it tony lee how about mr. lee for now? >> thank you, sir actually i came in for the meeting next room i saw you had a meeting i'm chinese been here for years we had a water crisis now we don't have water only and properly you need to compare with lots of countries san francisco do very well the price is reasonable and it's fine very good but i use very little water only when i was young every water we had to carry physical bring home to use it even now i've been here 27 years already i don't make money now i can afford to live in the city we have a lot of asians that live in in the city we all come together. i think that you should tell the people now i tried to put a lot of container trying to save the water so i can use for the water so i don't need to pay my bill plus. now water in china look at the news only 2 hours the whole region is flooding every where flooding flooding i was so sorry california no rain look at the sky every day it's hot very nice but look at china flooded with water. it's monday for chinese so you

. >> mr. lee, can i ask a question about the units or the properties that we know we have to completely rehab, like west side cords or holly cords, they are not necessarily included in this rad program. >> they are absolutely included, we will rehab them. >> we are not going to demolish them at all sign? >> this program is a rehab program. it doesn't mean in the future -- >> mr. washington, please, i am trying to conduct a hearing, if you need to have a conversation, if you can take it outside, thank you. >> this is a rehab program, and what it will do, it will provide for permanent affordable housing as it is rehabbed. if people in the future want to do something different to the site. perhaps to do more housing on the site. more affordable housing. different affordable housing. you can do that. but it has to be affordable housing. and this program is intended to rehab and permanently provide affordable housing. >> mr. lee, west side courts, holly courts, those places were not meant to last this

i think it creates great caution for san francisco, how we can also as mr. lee talked about the values that went out in our rfq, and we have to ensure other values strong in san francisco, that is public oversight and involvement in the creation of these changes. i want to be sure that our city can uphold that value as we are making changes. i think the issues raised around tenant rights, the right of tenants to be have assurity of staying in their property. that they will be able to return to their units. and the ability to be transferred. whether it's, you know, trying to avoid a dangerous situation they are living in. or other ways, other reasons why they have been transferred. i think it's a right that has to be upheld. i am concerned about financing and who the investors and lenders will be. often we are at the constraint of the banks and the lenders. it's incredible that the profit model, even if we are creating a public/private partnership, the model from the lenders perspective compromises our resources, i am concerned about that. i have worked on since

mr. lee, maybe i could ask your perspective. >> clearly we will keep the board informed. in term of the progress of our project, and we'll be happy to do that as part of our budget presentation for our office. i think the question was just whether we would have to have another hearing or would written communication to the board be sufficient. but if the board would like additional information as we present our budget as part of the mayor's office, we'd be happy to do that. >> so long as it's part of it i think your overall presentation we're fine. >> okay. >> if that's already going to be part of the plan anyways. >> we can make it part of the plan. >> okay. colleagues, if no further questions we'll open this one up to public comment. anybody wishing to comment on item 8? >>> larry juicy edmonds. [speaker not understood]. i know that mercy house is very great. they are better than tndc. and i know this by true, by experience. mercy housing knows how to work with people or help people with aids, people that are gay, people who are not racism. mercy house has a history -- i

i don't know if this would be directed to mr. lee about how peef is the sore funding of sfus. it's about my understanding that peef is the only funding for arts funding for sfusd. >> there's one set of resources and that's for the elementary arts and music program and i believe together that represents about a million and a quarter of funding that still exist and to be fair, those resources are originated from the city as well from dcyf. they have not been diminished and they are still in place so i think that's definitely worth noting. as far as general funds support, general fund support has been minimal at least the time that i've been with the district and there was for a couple of years, there was a state categorical program that was specifically directed to arts and music that was, i think that was in place beginning in 2006 or 2007, around then, that was of course prior to the recession that took place and in that state recession context, the state allowed districts to repurpose many, many category programs including that arts funding and as most districts did, we had t

mr. lee, it is great to have you with us. congratulations, look, on all of the success that you've had with characters, and a lot of people are saying can there possibly be another comic book movie, tell vice show at this point. is it too much in your point of view? >> oh, i don't think it's enough. don't forget these comic books have been popular and growing in popularity for more than 50 years, always featuring the same characters, spider-man, the hulk, the avengers and so forth, so now we can put them on the big screen with special effects and 3-d. i think that they will just go on as long as we come up with good stories for them. >> yeah, and i would say you're not oversaturated as long as the money keeps rolling. in the new "x-men" movie opens this weekend, expected to be the big summer craw. special effects, that's really revived a lot of the comic book characters because you can do things on screen that you couldn't do years ago. you're doing things on your screen you were able to do with your drawings in comic books,

mr. lee: mr. president, reserving the right to object, the theft of valuable metal is a serious crime, one that can damage valuable infrastructure, sometimes government infrastructure and that can cause serious harm to businesses and to the owners of the infrastructure at issue. for this reason, many states including my own state of utah have enacted measures to deter such criminal activity and punish harshly those who engage in this type of criminal activity. these measures are generally appropriate, but where the federal government enacts legislation creating criminal penalties, we as lawmakers must be careful to respect the constitution's enumerated powers and its constitutionally ordained structure of federalism. i have heard concerns expressed regarding people who steal valuable metal and cross state lines to sell stolen metal. while i would support federal legislation addressed to such truly interstate unavoidably national circumstances, i cannot support legislation that more broadly regulat
