we have patrick followed by mr. labrun. >> jim patrick, patrick and company. one of the things in this alignment is that has not been looked although the 4th and king street station. we made the assumption that that's the best place. i'm suggesting that might not be true. maybe that should be at 7th and king up around in a different direction. it appeals to a greater number of people, it's closer to a marketplace. number two, it's less expensive because it would be part of the tunnel system and 4th and king would be the cut and cover system. number three is we could capture the notion of the is mushmus. the emission ismus i think it's called that goes to the ball park. we create a left and right bank walk right down to the ball park there. it sits in a lot better, it's a better design, it's cheaper and i think it makes more sense. we've just sort of said, well, of course we are going to put it there and we haven't asked the question is it a good idea. thank you. >> next. >> thank you, directors and mr. patrick for the perfect segway. that's what i want to cove

mr. patrick fosdahl. >> thank you. good evening, board members, my name is patrick fosdahl. i'm the assistant director of the environmental health branch. the third time you're hearing this case before you. just as a quick reminder, san francisco health code s-h states that retail tobacco permits are location specific and can't be transferred or assigned to a new person or location. so when the tobacco permit issued for 4500 third street was issued it couldn't be moved to the new location at 4522 third street which triggered this whole thing that you have before you this evening. the health code does have a provision which we -- you kind of just all went over here regarding the exemptions to the -- the health code. specifically, and i'll read it here for you, an owner of a retail food store or tobacco shop holding a valid permit was relocate under the building code may -- [inaudible] >> -- so if the department of building inspection is saying that this relocation was the result of a seismic upgrade under that provision of chapter 34(b), then, the health department's position

mr. patrick murphy's how's next door and this is the same -- house next door and this is the same house that everybody's pointing is going to be another roof deck on it. i'm just pointing out this is just not right. this arrogance of power is not right and should not be permitted. just, you know, please you know like -- okay. thank you. >> vice president melgar: thank you. next speaker, please. >> commissioners mark hermann, i live directly across the street from this project. this project started five years ago with a well documented attempt to use the property as a single-family home. we saw it from 2013 a failed dwelling unit merger and the project sponsor's own statement at the last hearing. in the last five years, we saw this building being used at best as a corporate rental today we have an unchanged floor plan screaming for legal. tomorrow we have the project sponsor's vacant two unit building next door with proposed remodel details, very suggestive of future unit accommodation. if this project isn't stopped now, i hope you've seen the future from similar projects in other neighborhoo

mr. patrick. >> it was purely a matter of limited resources. that 1.2 was a significant investment. it was just an ability to fund, given other competing priorities. >> supervisor cohen: so you asked for a 1.5. >> 1.7. >> you asked for 1.7, you got 1.2, whereas the police is asking for $21 million. >> i would add something else, it did not become as critical until humphrey took effect, and humphrey took effect in january . if you look at january into february into march, i don't believe we're at as agile as we could have been. >> supervisor cohen: please continue. >> so the next chart -- slide. here we are. this just shows how many people are in and out of custody in our in our in and out of custody situations. this does not show bookings, this shows people that would otherwise be in custody. 2769 on the right-hand side, how pretrial release has gone up to 15-16 from a low of 1243 in july of 2015. so as you can see, there's been a steady rise of people getting out on pretrial diversion. and there has been somewhat of a corresponding reduction in the number of people in our jails. bu

mr. patrick. >> good morning, directors. jim patrick, patrick and company san francisco.i see they have this gross sales, first of all, we made a standard lease a while back, approved by the board. the leases which you see before you don't seem to follow in that concept. so, a went to b, i don't know why. number two, you have the gross sales part in there. i believe that's a problem. and i think it's 2%, but i don't have time to read all this stuff. the reason i think it's a problem, i think it's fraud happening. when i say fraud happening, you are asking the retailer to account for his sales. you have elaborate area in there which details what his sales are. does it include tips to the waiter, does it include free meals, whatever it is. and you are going to go in and audit all this. i suggest you are better off without that. you may give up some revenue, i would much rather have a happy tenant who is really doing very, very well because i know he will pay more money at the end of the lease cycle and will get it back. but in the meantime, these things, these gross rents i

mr. patrick. >> jim patrick, patrick and company. this is a little out of order. i'm confused about the order here. the bicycle deal with the afford go bike, i find that we are going to give them that space for nothing. it says in the proposal here we'll not pay a fee to any -- to the tjpa for the use of lie sense -- use of the license for the area. we spent a lot of time trying to generate revenue. what makes them special? i don't think that anything makes them special. i would like to see us charge them a fee or put them out to bid like everything else. thank you. >> thank you. all right. >> item 8. >> moving to item 8, the citizen's advisory update and bruce is here. >> good morning, chair, directo directors. my name is bruce. i'm the chair of the citizen's advisory committee. my comments are focused in the following areas, first a follow up on the preparation to address potential quality of life issues in the vicinity and neighborhood surrounding the sales force transit center once open to the public. we had our third meeting on may 18th and although progress

mr. patrick [inaudible]. thereafter, we will resume our hearing. i'm pleased to turn to my partner, senator wyden for his opening remarks. >> thank you mr. chairman. the next irs commissioner is going to be in charge of administrating the tax system that is broken in two. there is one set of rules in america for the cop on the beat or the worker on the factory line. strict rules, no special loopholes, taxes come straight out of your paycheck. then there is another set of rules in america for the high flyers and under that system with the right advice from costly advisors you can effectively payay what you want when you want to. mr. rettig, nominated by the president to be the irs, seems to have made a career on giving advice to a lot of those high flyers. the biggest policy challenge he will walk into, if confirmed as commissioner, is implement in the extremely, gated trump tax laws which does a whole lot more to the high flyers and the well-connected than it does for everybody else. given that fact in my view it is up to mr. rettig to demonstrate t

live now to our guests patrick kennington executive editor of twenty first century wired dot com mr henningsen always lovely to have you on the program now do you think if the u.s. and russia can work together can unite their efforts on syria we will see some relief for the migrant crisis the refugee flow will start to decrease. yes that's certainly one of the definite benefits if there is cooperation between these two great superpowers but if you really drill down and look at what's causing the instability in syria the united states has economic sanctions that it's put down on top of syria now quite severe as well as the european union this in borgo is strangling the country economically and arguably it's really playing into the humanitarian disaster it's feeding into the refugee crisis it's causing the economy to implode in many ways and the united states is also occupying northeastern syria and its proxy forces the kurdish s.d.f. are effectively occupying syria's oil supply that it could use to sell to make money to provide government services it's being cut off suffocated from its own ener

stabilizing all of these things to be most of us patrick so all the countries that have new nuclear weapons for the expanding their programs i want to pick up on something mr jacob was saying earlier about the u.s. and russia expecting other countries to fall in line who does get to decide who has nuclear weapons and why we have a situation now where the united states has blocked the middle east being a nuclear free region because they support israel having nuclear weapons all the while pulling out of the iran nuclear deal because it's not ok for iran to do so again who gets to decide who has nuclear weapons and why. ok so i may have a little difference of opinion with the other respectable guests here but i'll say that it's easy to each individual state has a sovereign right whether or not to join the n.p.t. and when states made that choice and one hundred ninety so have or so have they agreed to forego the right to ever pursue nuclear weapons now if they are faced with a national calamity existential threat then they might decide to withdraw they also do have the right but the the one country that chose to exercise it north korea did so. under spurious g

patrick in chicago. i am a white sox fan. my question to mr.s how many games would you estimate president barack obama watched in the white house of the white sox? guest: he went to one opening game in 1910 when he inaugurated the nationals -- 2010, i'm sorry. that would've been quite a trip. in terms of white sox games, i don't know. he showed great fidelity to the white sox to the extent that when he did inaugurate the 2010 season of the nationals, the nationals expected him to wear a nationals cap and he did as he was leaving the dugout. he crossed the baseline that he put something in his glove before he did and it was a white sox cap. he gets to the mound and whips out his white sox cap, puts it on, face the mound and of course he loves the pitch in toward the plate. nationals brass was astonished. he showed an admirable trait. he understood most chicago south -- he was notfor -- i think this is what the caller was alluding to, a scholar of the game like richard nixon or a fan of the game like my former boss, but he did so -- he did show g
