commissioner pearlman. >> commissioner pearlman: i thought we were going to come in here to talk about design. so, i was actually surprised to hear some of the commentary here today. you know, when you take away a driveway and put in a parking space, i don't know how it hurts parking. again, this is a planning commission and department issue, not ours. so, i will just talk about the architecture. i am not as confident as the architect of the project in terms of matching brick. i think it's an incredibly difficult thing to do and then when you just draw a line down a building and you have, you don't feather the brick as the brick is done that way, you create a very strange condition which is particularly evident on the pierce side, but even on the sought elevation on fulton street, the uphillside, you fill the new brick fills right up to that brick cornice belt line. on the south side, it goes 7/8 of the way up, and could just as easily go up to the belt line. thereby, making it very clear that you almost have, you know, a very simple pattern where the new brick would be evident. again,

>> commissioner pearlman: i did. i've been in touch with the owners, working on foundation work, i mean, there's a lot of interaction with their project. she suggested i recuse myself. >> ok. commissioner hyland. >> vice president hyland: question for mr. fry. we got notice that comments, or the responses to comments for 450 o'farrell were published, i guess. two questions for you. one, what's the next step on that project? and in reviewing the comments, seems the preferred project is not the proposed project. what does that mean as far as the entitlements on it? >> i have not reviewed that document but i will have to review that before i can answer what that means for the hearing. my understanding, it is scheduled for hearing before the planning commission to determine if the draft e.i.r. is complete, and move on to any entitlements that may be associated with that. the commission secretary may have more information on exactly what date that is scheduled for, but i can't recall off the top of my head. >> which case

. >> commissioner wolfram: commissioner pearlman? >> commissioner pearlman: thank you. i'm a member of the architectural review committee. i want to congratulate you on the amazing distance you have come from what i call the toaster or the bus and the earlier designs. i was in paris recently and just this morning i found this picture of a street piece in paris from what looks like the 1930s. i was amazed at how similar in essence the concept was to both what we have now and sort of harkening to the direction you've gone. this has classical columns and things, but it's very modernist, 1930s element, that landed on the streets of paris, at a time when the streets of paris still to this day, of course, are very classical and must have been quite a shocking contrast between the modernism of something that looked like this and the buildings that were -- that it was next to. and i will be a little all over the map, because when i saw this design, when this came out, at first, i was very reactive to it. partially, i think, because of the materials. i thought that, you know, th

commissioner pearlman, we had the same questions and concerns. the city has done a beautiful job with medians on cesar chavez and a year to 18 months later, they're wretched looking. so we urged caution and were promised that it would be maintenance examples and so we'll see. when you came to us last week, the example of the kiosk that we were looking at was 02.c. is that correct? i would endorse that version and not endorse the only two, which are more conventional, triangular shapes, with radiused corners. 02.c feels in keeping with the spirit of the gently inflated farm -- form that the toilets were. and that's what commissioner wolfram was alluding to, i believe. >> commissioner keehn: first of all, wasn't to thank jcdecaux for being so responsive to our committee and echo commissioner pearlman's comments and to note that both, i think, of our committees share concern around history and so i appreciate your comments around that. market street will be, unfortunately, in my opinion, revamped and we'll lose these beautiful, brick sidewalks. unfo

[laughter] >> commissioner pearlman: right. and is that grass or lavender on the roof? >> commissioner hyland: real quick as a follow-up to commissioner johnck and commissioner pearlman, on the interactive displays. we've been talking to project sponsors, ocean wide, is it? they will have some interactive interpretive kiosks based on what was lost in that area. we've also talked to the various departments with the cultural heritage assets committee and having an ability to tie in and i think the cultural center is under the commission's purview, right? a lot of the oral histories and a lot of the cultural, intangible, cultural assets, that were expanded by the cultural centers, having access to the information. i don't want to expand the scope of their contract, but it's the archivist at the library. there's an immense amount of information that's digitally available and having that as somehow incorporated into wherever we can get it incorporated so they can be connected and accessed would be good. >> beth rubenstein, public works. i forgot to mention, thank you, that t

robert pearlman was more talkative.rlman suspect cicco's moon dust was pixie dust and says armstrong knew it was wrong. to our knowledge he nerve gain moon dust to his sons, first or second wife or crewmates. i worked with buzz aldrin. i know he doesn't have any. >> reporter: but cicco swears it's mun dust. >> why would he give it to the little girl of one of his friends? >> i don't know. i would love to know that. >> what if nasa says you're essentially keeping sto to cal their hero a thief, and neil armstrong was not a thief. we just want to keep our property. >> reporter: a federal court could decide whether laura which c -- cicco is asking for the moon. >> wow. >> you cannot make this story up. >> his ex-wives didn't get moon dust or dog? >> it's a convincing argument. if he didn't give it to anyone else -- >> it raises some serious questions wchl don't know if it is moon dust really. >> and it raises serious questions about our education system if she didn't know who -- >> also, why is nasa beating down people's do

pearlman make quilts, stitched with love. >> why do you do this for us? and i think it's just because we care! >> reporter: meredith johnson started the project happiness is a warm quilt. the group has been receiving donations of fabric, and quilts, bed-sized, volunteers from across the country. volunteers take pride in the detailed work. >> it almost put me down when i walked one lady walk out, clutching the quilt like this, and it was just -- that's a wonderful feeling. okay, this person is really going to enjoy this. >> reporter: the quilts aren't just handed out. the people choose them, either in person or online. >> and then we usually stock them 3-deep at least. >> reporter: at the charles schultz museum in santa rosa, groups come to pick up what they saw on facebook page. others look for what they can't be without. >> they're living in motions or furnished vacation rentals, places that are not theirs. and having something you chose that you love transforms your environment. >> reporter: janet lost her home. >> it's beautiful!

sarah silverman, itzhak pearlman, just judy senator george mitchell. every has a different aspect to the way they communicate and we can all learn from them. it's just conversation. not didactic. >> i like it. >> seems to me one of the more unique developments of donald trump's presidency and it didn't start by him by any means but your political opponent is not just an opponent. they're a bad person, and this is true on both the right and the left. >> yes. both sides see the other side as bad people. >> that's exactly right. >> the worst people in the world. >> right. >> and it's been so corrosive, and you see the way that trump has -- we're obsessed with it because it's our jobs and we talk about it all the time. but it's not just us. he has permeated almost every aspect of our culture and our society. he's on your phone constantly. he's on your tv. he's, like, as one republican put it to me the other day, a bad tv show you can't turn off. it's -- it's omnipresent, and you have to wonder at the end of the day what kind of affect that has on elections
