legislation trying to incentivize owners to go through the many steps of actively building a brand new unit this is not about taking an existing unit to get it up to code it could be expensive we're talking about things that are not a living unit and turning it into a living unit i guess my approach is that the more restrictions that you put on when results less likely anyone is going to participate in it so when you look at especially a single-family home home there are few through a seismic retrofit but someone wants to turn their garage into 0 living unit i'll be honest i have spoken to a number of people that did this illegal or want to do this they'll want to convert the lower units to live in the lower unit they can't get up the stairs anymore so those situations are varied that i am hesitant to say if you do this through the printed in the record process and so on and so forth your reward will be you'll be banned if the condo lottery that's my terms in responding to those. >> we have time before the board i want to understand but i appreciate supervisor wiener's point so maybe i can

the outbreak of the second world war that it would not be worth doing so they decided to set up a new united nations. many of the league organizations carried over into the united nations. some of the associated bodies of the united nations have a longer history than the united nation itself and many personnel carried over. i suppose the key difference with united nations is the security council has five permanent members with vetoes. that was to reassure the great powers their interests would always be listened to. the problem is they reflect the wrong people. that was one of the key differences. what happened with the league is there would be four permanent members -- five permanent members and four elected, but they would all have equal votes. when the united states did not join, you had fewer permanent members and it was always the danger of deadlock. i think roosevelt was very concerned that the powers should be reassured that their voice would be heard in the united nations, which is why the security council still has so much power. i would say that is the key difference with the leagu

supporting this legislation all came out in support of the in law unit legislation because they knew and they know that we do need new housing and adding in law units into the existing envelope of buildings is a terrific and more affordable way of doing that. no one advocated to me in the interim controls have some sort of lock down where we prevent people from adding to their homes or building new units. no one took that position. instead everyone agreed or i think largely agreed with the flexible approach that we take which allows for significant additions without going into the real mega home territory, and even then it's not a ban. it simply requires a conditional use. in deed the gentleman that spoke near the end who talked about if you grant variances for large buildings at least have multi-unit buildings which is exactly what housing advocates have been advocating for building a multi-housing unit is different and adds housing opposed to turning a 1200 or 1400 square feet home into a 5,000 square feet home. yes theoretically in the future it could be a co-housing situation but largely they're not co-housing an

not all affordable housing is created equally and it is different if you have a beautiful brand new unit with a bathroom and elevator that will not breakdown or an sro hotel with a toilet at the end of the hall a shared shower no kitchen facility a building that didn't have the electrical capacity for everyone to have a mini fringe not to mention a one hundred-year-old elevator so supervisor mar you're talking about aging in place we have to think that that as a community those buildings are one hundred-year-old would so in 204024 years from now those property will need a lot of work on electrical and plumbing and slates they're not great places for someone to spend the rest of their life living in i wanted to highlight that thank you very much. >> any other members of the public wish to comment on number one seeing none, public comment is closed colleagues, i wanted to thank you for being part of the hearing and the staff and members of the public that came to speak thank you yourself ongoing work on this issue any prospective continues we look at the portfolio especially, as it relates
