first, there is not any other land in the project area to build offsite housing. this is in the middle of downtown. there are not other properties available to do offsite housing in the project area, as the law requires. the law requires that the 35% be built in the project area. it does not give the flexibility outside the project area. if the law were changed, it would be a different situation, but that is not what the law says. it says it has to be in the project area. if we give people the option of building off site for paying a fee, they would not be building in the project area to meet that requirement. we did not have much choice to put an on-site affordable housing requirement because there just is not land anywhere else in the project area to meet the 35% affordable housing. and it does not go all the way. it is only one to be 15%. there's a balance that we have worked very hard to create while still achieving the 35%. but the other point i want to make about the on-site of four- ball house in inclusion -- affordable housing inclusion is that the city fe

organizer and we coach each this class together twice a week but today we're going to be meeting offsite at a church to talk about. what we're going to plan we're going to plan some actions the students want to do a walkout. in solidarity with the workers for may first so that's pretty exciting. so you know other actions how we get other students activated stuff to give me to say these are great student leaders these are strong young people they've been through a lot they're embattled because the city's closing their school down and they're not happy about it. change is natural it's not just going to happen because people. let's change a little bit. they will be happy to say that so it's not people for people that are struggling people that have others will pull our were there. to do today that change that they did earlier the city we the students of the public visitation i hear form you about the injustice of the. ladies who says that. the private privatizations of our school systems budget cuts. business. the pleasure because they needed us leasing of us schools and. we feel as if thes

they desperately want offsite to do it. we did not think it was evil, but we just thought it was tacky. and we stayed true to that sort of thing. it would be too much to expect, we are going to make it not commercial. that is how people are going to bond to our brand. not even rupert murdoch would come up with that. we just did that because it is what made us feel good. now we are thinking, with the burning man project -- it is interesting. my partners and i are thinking beyond our lifetimes. it is a bit of a legacy project. which is really interesting, an interesting exercise. that makes you feel differently about the present. so what would make something that durable? what would keep it alive that long? we have been alive and have grown for a quarter-century. it may not be hard to imagine an entire century at all. now we are found in an institution that will house and generate culture, and function as a community. wondering how we can be sure that it is not perverted, subject to internal divisions, will not perish. and th

as well as renovation of the offsite alternative. the department's response to comments in the eir suggest that this alternative would need -- would meet objectives. for those reasons, we believe this alternative warrants an in- depth analysis before it is approved. thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners. i am a 37-year resident of san francisco. i urge you to not accept the eir that has been submitted to you tonight. we need more playing fields, that is clear to me. it is wonderful to see all of these young people participating in civic process. something we also need desperately in san francisco is naturalistic areas in our parks. in golden gate park, it has taken over a vast area of the park. more and more of the park is not available for simply enjoying the walking through and appreciate the naturalistic qualities that it has. this is one of the rare places we have left in san francisco and preserving it is critical. you can maintain golf courses, a grass field for soccer. do we need lights? no. i urge you to rej

you could probably produce more affordable housing if it was offsite ban on site. and given that affordable housing in california is going through a crisis without the redevelopment funds, we would encourage the city and county to keep an eye on looking at other ways to increase of four or housing in san francisco. -- affordable housing in san francisco. we agree with what you've done and we urge approval of the plan. thank you. >> my name is wayne. i am a real-estate consultant in san francisco. i am working with two of the projects in the transit district area. i'm here to talk about a few small issues, but more important, we are supportive of this plan. we spend a lot of time working with the planning department. we are aware of all of the issues and we commend the department for bringing this plan to this stage with this type of analysis. what about the concerns that we have--- let me first say that the project receive benefits from this plan. we understand it will be costs. there is concern that it may be inequitable in the sense that we will be paying for a l

we envision 700 -- 7200 jobs with about 10,000 offsite jobs created by the fact these offices are located here. we envision a young work force more likely to take public transit, bike, and populate the retail establishments after work. with respect to residential, this is a great site for residential. the demand is strong, they're great water and bridge views and it has an active, vibrant, compelling street life below. connections to transit are strong, enabling people to live here and commute to the peninsula by train or by car into downtown by muni and the rest of the bay area by bart. this is a great location to live and work. there's a parking structure on the side that accommodates approximately 2000 cars. it's designed to be shared parking resources, not building separate parking perce but a parking resources that everyone will share together and will operate in a pioneering fashion through pricing and incentives. we will have people park their for retail use and that would turn and the use by ballpark patrons. this would reduce the subsidy needed and reduce the number of spaces we

built of sight, but the reality is there are no feasible parcels him the redevelopment area to build offsites affordable housing, hence the requirement that was adopted a number of years ago into the planning code to require the buildings in the redevelopment area have to build affordable units on site. however, there will be a number of buildings outside the redevelopment area that will have the same options available today. there are issues that come up with building a new market rate buildings, particularly towers with issues regarding whether the inclusion very rules allow increases to homeowner association fees to be included with the calculations for what is considered affordable. those are issues that are serious and will continue to be looked at. the successor to the redevelopment agency has assured us that the new units on publicly-owned properties, of which there will be many, that increases will be included as the requirements of the disposition and development agreements will be included in the definition of affordability for those projects. that will represent the majority of the

it is one of the advantages of offsite housing. >> i did not get into the details about how the transbay project area is able to survive. one of the only projects that are allowed to continue after the dissolution of projects for which there are enforceable obligations, as designed under the law of the redevelopment agency. in transbay, one of the affordable -- enforceable laws that we this it was the affordable housing law. the reason we put that as an enforceable obligation is that it entitles us to continue to receive tax increment to build affordable housing. i would raise that as a reason not to tinker with the 35% level. commissioner borden: i'm not talking about that. >> just so we're clear, i'm not saying you were suggesting that. bobby's the, there might be a way to put flexibility in the 35% affordable housing. but the level is a very -- is very important to continue to receive that variable tax base. commissioner borden: i'm not suggesting a reduction in the number, but more creativity around how to get to that number. i do think the issue around rental -- it does sound like t

we can remember the former track star running believe offsite. with his life. we can remember brian kennedy, the rock climber who told his father a few days before he went down the it was one of the best he had ever dealt with. we can remember candle waters day in baltimore, described by a fellow service number as the light. we can remember david, a freshman in high school who had jokingly called himself zeus, filling his friends with it -- infectious laughter. we can remember them. we can remember the obligations to those who came home and fought a very real battle of their own. the men and women in uniform today know this. they were fighting for their families, their flags, and for you. we will make sure that you and your loved ones receive the benefits that your loved ones have firmed and preserved. -- earned and preserved. finally, for all of you carry this on your hearts. , we can strive to be a nation evil of sacrifice. in nation where all of us meet our obligations to each other and the country that we love. that is all we can do. as presi

the european central bank does offsite twice a year. put on standby in case of protest similar to what we saw yesterday with mayday. spain is where, by the way, the very first protests truly started. the indignants, those involved in the occupy wall street use them as a model. our team in europe don't know how big the protests are expected to be tomorrow. also important, the fact the ecb will be in spain tomorrow, take a look at the spanish market, which has just gotten hammered over the last couple of years. spain's big problem is its banks. it's not like greece where they had promised so many more entitlements to their public workers than they could pay for. they had a real real estate bubble in spain and the banks have a lot of bad loans on their books. and the ecb, it's expected at some point, might force spain to do something when it comes to recapitalizing their banks. and the question is where is spain going to get that money? the same question we ask over and over again about europe, tyler, there's a big hole into which they nee
