city is impacted. so we wanted some flexibility with this antidisplacement zone, the same way we created it on the westide. we created affordable housing trust fund. it will be about $5 million that goes into that trust fund to allow us to create these displacement free zones throughout the city. it is just a drop in the bucket. $5 million sounds like a lot, but it is not. it can go very quickly. the challenges that we have, the one that we have to do a better job on is the estate planning. i'm seeing this in my family. i see it with my grandparents' homes, that nobody bothered to establish a will. the kids are responsible for taking care of the home. i've seen it with cousins, parents, etc., so that is a big challenge because we often have predatory folk coming in who take advantage of people who may have a family home that has been paid for. it has been paid for for many years. they offer them $75,000. it sounds like a lot of money except for the home may be worth $750,000. that is the other air yet we have to address and part of that is we have been pushing on having the funding in place but also ed

this is where we record all pesticides used on city properties. the old one has been troublesome for many years. this one promises to be a lot more streamlined and trouble free, and it was rolled out september 1. rolling over to pesticide trends. the news is mostly good for 2019, and i -- based on what we heard at the commission policy committee meeting, i will expect some increase in herbicide use in 2020. don't know exactly how much yet, but based on staff reductions, and based on the changing patterns of use -- and actually, a lack of volunteer labor to do some of the weeding that typically happens in the parks, there are thousands of people that help with that. so nevertheless, we actually had an improvement in our main metric, which is tier one, or highest hazard pesticides within the city limits. last year, it was about a 96% reduction since 2010. for this year, it's 97.9% reduction, so that is a good indicator. mind you, we're already at pretty low levels, so we expect that to dump around. it's been an 83% reduction since 2015, which is when

romaine: part of this reality is what is going on on the ground in states and cities. got news this morning about potentially 40% cuts to the subway service. how much it contributes to national gdp, look at this chart. on the far right of your screen, the last two bars shows you the drag, basically how much municipal and state expenditures contribute or subtract from national gdp. for the past two quarters you can see the drag. q3.in q2, .3% in as you get tax revenue falling for the states, they cut back on not only city services big and for structure projects. some estimates right now putting it at about $450 billion shortfall for rado's -- a lot of state and local government. some higher than that of to around $900 billion. that is money not being contributed to economic growth. that is something you have to keep an eye on. caroline: and whether they will be recovery if we do not get taxpayers coming back. will it draw back people who will be paying most of the tax and sustaining most of the infrastructure? joe: might explain why we have indoor dining in new york city

on european soil. what concerns me, in this city an assassination was conducted. on leads from denmark to the netherlands. we saw my dad lying on the ground covered in his blood. this is the extraordinary story of iran and the mystery murders. my investigation starts here, in the small dutch city of almere, near amsterdam. 0ne quiet morning, five years ago, two hitmen lie in wait. shots ring out, killing their target instantly. the assassins escape in a stolen black bmw, later found abandoned and burned out just a few blocks away. the victim was a middle—aged electrician, but who was he, and why did he have to die? normally, assassinations are one criminal assassinating another criminal, but this time it was an electrician. that is why i kept asking questions. how come? paul vughts is an investigative journalist known for his inside stories on amsterdam's gang violence and drugs trade. his assassination was a big surprise for the police, and so people thought maybe he was in the world of growing weed, hashish, maybe as an electrician, if you grow weed and need elec

so few one that he and big cities will definitely stay as specially in asia. this will better this trend will go on, but the c.d.'s will change in the sense that they give access to their citizens to their users, to many different things like green, like access to work, access to technology, health, etc, on a much more local scale, poor world mega cities are likely to continue to grow, at least unless things become really absolutely horrific. remember that as terrible as code 1000 is the death rate so far, far less than they were say during the color of pandemics of the 1900 century. and despite those color appendix the cities like, you know, berlin or paris or london continue to grow even though the cities were killing fields. so big cities aren't to superior any time soon. kevin 19 is already leaving its mark on games. some cities like berlin feel like they've turned into ghost towns and it's pretty much the same feeling for the commercial real estate sector. business is disappearing. the amount of floor space for shops and offices that have been rented or so

case is not directly linked to the highly contentious national security law which beijing imposed on the city earlier this year. devika poland is on the phone for us from hong kong ok did you just tell us more. right from what i understand and what the police information the police have shifted so far. relates in events on a couple of calls in the city's logical to between the pro-democracy camp and the kobe chimpanzee. it's important to note that. legislators very clearly defined those who have the court say doing time for the world and those for our principle and more democracy in hong kong and in recent months it can really be pulled democracy camp has been quite beleaguered with the crackdown on any kind of protests and kind of actions that seem to us. from beijing somebody just. said it's couple to to to to pass the whole let's put the time so. today our police are saying this is. the cap problem the chairperson the seats they were pushed back by security security had to carry the put them up a lot to make us believe that the lord. said i think you are. moving in a poker room. rather lik

so big cities on to superior anytime soon. kevin 19 is already leaving its mark on landscapes. some cities like the feel like they've turned into ghost towns and it's pretty much the same feeling for the commercial real estate sector. business is disappearing. the amount of floor space for shops and offices that have been rented or sold is in freefall. when you compare the 3rd quarter with the same period last year, you'll see the trend is the same across germany's main st. it's a lot of companies are either putting off decisions to rent or buy space or downsizing focuses. see the trend, gathering speed, construction continues. we're closing down, everything must go. signs like these are a common sight nowadays and by then businesses are shuttered across the city. many for good because of coronavirus restrictions. according to a survey by britain's royal institute of chartered surveyors, industry insiders expect commercial property values and rents to decline worldwide because of that hand demick. but there are some exceptions. yes, you know, the entire non-food retail sector ha
