as you can see with these arrows permeability was a huge sort of an issue that was brought up and as you can see, you have close to a dozen different ways to get through the building and through the site. the -- i don't even if this is going to work it's not. the upper right-hand corner of the eight and wrinkle is the part that sits on dirt to parking under it. this is the landscape drawing that get a little washed out on the screen, but we followed the street program that sort-of requires a number of trees and so on and the middle of the building the side has a nice garden in the highlighted and there is a loop road, we call it a loop ally and allows cars and pedestrians public -- to actually go through the entire site. this is a really important drawing that the plan that shows the ground floor and how it interacts with the areas around it these colors are not so easy to see either but these sites and this bright orange on the edges total right and bottom are the commercial spaces. retail. the floor to floor height on the retail is 17 feet and so it's more of a traditional retail t

the willingness and the vulnerability is where we can be most permeable and where i can take you in. can take me in. then we are bigger than just two. you know? tavis: my mother and i, your channeling my conversation. my mother and i last night had a conversation about the fact that love means making yourself vulnerable. we had a long, a two-hour conversation on the phone about this notion of vulnerability. i was explaining to her about a situation where something happened and i was kind of hurt by what somebody had said to me. in those instances where people say or do things to you that hurt you, you start to question whether or not you really want to be in that love space, if you want to open yourself up to that. it does mean that you have to be vulnerable. i just find that we live in a world where people, people don't want to be hurt. people are more defensive now than ever. they are more needed this now, turning inward now, more than ever. who wants to be vulnerable? >> you do, but when you are in the love of space, it is ancient. it is newborn babies. it is life. the love space

it is designed to be a permeable building. tower works directly with what we call the grand hall. that is the main space of the center, in a perfect kind of compliment to each other of activities and address and support and even security and i will go into that in some detail. this street level is cut through the grand hall and the bus deck above that and then the park and then connecting the entire vertical, center of the transit center is or are several large light columns that bring light deep into the building all the way into the train level. the key in this section though is if you will notice is the connection at the roof park level with the transit center tower and i will go into that in detail and i have to say that is an exciting idea and i think that we are at the forefront of thinking, urban design thinking and we have already had several, other adjacent properties talk to us about bridging to the transit center park. so i feel quite confident that that is an idea that will really have some great substance to it. t

. >> it will be something that will be easy to clean, permeable, but easy to clean. >> i haven't seen the stuff you're talking about. i'm not very happy about that being a feature of public open spaces, dogs, people or both of them. we should carefully look at that as nothing we really want to be associated with. >> commissioner sugaya. >> yes, [speaker not understood], could you refresh my memory when we looked at this originally in terms of development plan, there is a street in here. >> right. >> and could you -- it doesn't seem like on the face of it that that's necessary since the intersections's just a little bit away. but this is mainly for access to the buildings? >> it's access for the buildings. also 7th and 16th don't have parking, street parking at that location. it is a very tight intersection. and, so, there is going to be this space -- the space is going to be activated with restaurants and other retail spaces. so, there's very little way to access those public uses or for people to have public use of the park. we were supportive of having this street as a way to both a

isn't this really all the consequence of these insane free trade laws that say that that seventy permeable membrane that we used to have around ourselves that these other countries have kept intact you know if you want to import export a car out of the united states into china it's about a twenty two percent import tariff into china you want to bring in chinese car in the united states there's virtually no tariff it's two percent two point one percent i think it is where is your attention is and you know worked on it's only. free trade has led to the greatest degree of human prosperity in literally the history of humanity being alive right now is being alive in the most prosperous time of our at least disagree with protectionism or alexander hamilton proposed protectionism in seventy nine he won in his letter to congress you can read his letter on manufacturers the eleven point plan congress adopted in seven hundred ninety three we had averaged tariffs and seven hundred ninety three to the one nine hundred eighty s. of thirty one percent and it's friend of our shipping it it built the bigg
