if you do not want a rich and poor city, them preserve housing for people not making 120% of the income. if you want a work force that stays in the city, build housing for people that make less than 120% of the median income. if you care about a sustainable san francisco, we need to address the media person and let the market do what it does. focusing on people that make us the 120% is not divisive. it is addressing the neediest. saying that we are going to grow the pie assumes that the pie has grown. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am a parent. i am a member of the community housing council organizations. we create affordable housing and homeownership for houses -- people making 40% of ami. we convert apartment buildings into housing coops where renters become owners of their building. this is the year of updating our inclusionary housing ordinance. i am still not clear on how we should define middle income. after hearing the data today, i would ask that the definition of middle and come not be greater than 120% of median income. from what i heard, for households earning more than 12

you have to remember oakland is a poor city. we had many more blighted areas. we expanded the redevelopment areas amazingly. some of the products are worked out very well. when i started working downtown, we were still suffering from a lot of damaged buildings. you do not see that now. if anything, the uptown and redevelopment tax is ahead of schedule. that is why we are no. 5 on the new york times list, in many ways. what i think is the lemons from lemonade -- the fact we have had these blighted areas and these long old industrial areas are now becoming the hot areas. i see the estuary being very much like what happened in mission bay and near the airport and coliseum, areas that can be massive for research parks or office spaces. as well as integration of industrial uses other areas. we continue a fairly diverse economy. i think what we are saying is when you are the major you have to represent the 100%. i took my little 99% button and changed it to 100%. we need to grow the entire city. in our case, we are looking at an economy that has industrial roots, his

cities. -- rural poor from overwhelming the cities. the migrants are here to stay. >> greek politicians reached an agreement for austerity measures. this will mean more pain for the people. greece has an unemployment rate of about 20%. the austerity policies remain deeply unpopular with much of the public. joining me now from athens is the greek minister for international economic relations. chiefjoined by at the whip of angela merkel's party. it is very difficult to imagine that you can do this. >> this is a tough in denver we are in now since may, 2010. we are moving from an inward looking economy to an outward looking economy. one of the collateral side effects is the contraction in income. before the economy gets on its feet again in a different basis. >> do you think that it is possible to do this with the level of protest that are starting to build? calls by cultural figures increased to a resistance movement? >> >one has to see what the vast majority of people feel in their heart. something has to change, otherwise we will not b

kristin are graduates of mtr-memphis teacher residency, a three-year-old program designed to give poor inner city students the same opportunities as students in wealthier areas. david montague is the director of the school. >> it's absolutely an injustice, because there's such a large academic achievement gap between students that are generally poor and minority relative to students who generally live in the suburbs and who are white. >> reporter: funded mostly by foundations and private contributions, this program takes college graduates and gives them housing, training, and tuition, even awards them a master's degree. in return, they agree to teach in an inner city school here for four years. the program is faith-based. >> what we're doing here we're doing within a christian context. we believe in god's word a revealed in scripture, and that faith informs how you think about students. it informs your efficacy. it informs your belief that every child can learn. >> reporter: there is something about this work that draws people of faith. erin, for example, planned a career as a hospital pharmacist

the history of the civil rights movement and not very far away, people are tremendously poor in this city. it's one of the poorest cities in the united states. it's easier not to look at it. it's hard to look at it all the time. it's easier to not look at stuff 1,000 miles away, below the mason-dixon line. so these folks, these african-americans in the deep south had a tremendous barrier to overcome. and they used -- they needed media desperately. did it work? it worked. they finally got their confrontation. they finally got their confrontation and it was on the front page of newspapers all over the world. they got the negotiation. they got agreements to hire african-americans in stores to serve african-americans in lunch counters. seems like small potatoes, doesn't it? they had to go through all that just to get a few people hired in stores? amazing, isn't it? that's what king refers to in the letter which you read it's odd about how the nations of africa and asia are moving toward independence in jet-like speeds while we go in a horse and buggy to get what? a cup of coffee at a lunch co

was kind of strange that the city would be spending valuable money putting up a building for its administrators rather than using the money to provide services to the poorcity hall at that time, it would have been a very good site for a high-rise dedicated to a senior citizen housing and veterans' housing. i think it is kind of interesting that the city hall area late at night, not too many people around. if you were to put residential housing at that place, it might give city hall neighborhoods a more human feel to it at night. that is why i oppose this resolution, i think that this building should not have started in the first place. in regards to the argument that is supposed to be a green building, i would like to remind everybody that when the federal building opened up on seventh street, great aspects of that building came under notable criticism because basically, it did not work like it was supposed to. hopefully this building is going to turn out better than the federal building on seventh street. we will ask for a few more million dollars which we don't have. supervisor chu: are there other members of the public that wish to speak? public comm

city of san francisco 43 years ago. we came back within a tremendous amount of deferred maintenance. in 1969, it was assumed the poor would develop its properties. the city issued the debt to facilitate that. that is finally repaid in the last half decade. we have been continuing to move forward. in 1990, it became clear the city and the port needed a more strategic plan for how it went forward in fixing in maintaining our portfolio. the portfolio is astounding. it is 7 + miles of sea wall which protects some of the city's best wealth in several of the district. it is 39 peers and 80 some structures, almost entirely over water. that creates challenge

we are told do not provide city for these poor people. just keep communities that are in the upper a bushel on, the good committees say. and contain and suppress the violence in the hot zones. once i realized that they did not do this and cops wanted to provide safety, the safer the poorest communities are, the more likely a cop will not get shot on their watch. they can go home safely if the community? them here so that became the mission. that became the mission in the early 1990's -- no, late 1990's, 2000, and then brought in came and that opened it up and we could really try -- and then bratton came in and that opened it up and we could really try these things. tavis: what kind of comparisons were they making to places like iraq? >> this is amazing. these are the conversations that left me speechless. you know it is hard to keep me speeches. -- keep me speechless. [laughter] dod told l.a. that this is why you are stuck on stupid for not reducing the problem of gangs. you use $10 billion and not reduce the number of gangs, you are doin

february 12th, mayor bloomberg and chancellor walcott will make homeless the poorest of the poor churches in the city of new york. why? because it's religious intolerance. they are getting kicked out and these are churches and i was arrested on january 12th three other pastors. we knelt down in front of bloomberg's office building and i am a threat to society. we were arrested and held at taken back to new york city. then a week later. there were 30 pastors arrested. mayor bloomberg has a war on faith. i've been on a water fast for 23 days. >> sean: he is drinking soup and noodles. >> i'm doing it and fasting because we're willing to fast to change the heart of mayor bloomberg. we're praying for mayor bloomberg and chancellor walcott that their hearts will be soft. >> sean: impress my catholic friends to change ones hearts. that is about as much as you are going to get out of me. we'll have more as the special edition of hannity continues. it has been said, you are not supposed to talk about religion and politics, those issues collide as we debate the president's decision and what impact it may have

the evu district in san salvadore is home to 25,000 people in a city of two million. this poor neighborhood of public housing is a stronghold for one of the country's largest street gangs: 18. about 40 teenage gang members live here. 18 has thousands of members across the country. the oldest member of the gang here is a 30 year old veteran called slappy. >>slappy has innocence in him, 'cause you could slap slappy in the face and tomorrow you'll be asking him for a favor and he'll do it. he's a [bleep]in' sentimental, fool, idiot. he falls in love with every bitch he meets. he doesn't hide his feelings. he exposes his emotions and his feelings out there. when they hurt his feelings, he cries. to do bad things, he's a [bleep]in' thief. he made me a thief. he's a straight robber. now that mother [bleep]er, slappy is crazy. that fool will kill you like that.

he also suggested poor inner city, mostly minority, new york students should develop a work ethic byobama pushing back hard against the idea that she's an angry black woman. and the president's own re-election campaign, fighting off stories that he's practically given up on the blue collar white vote. and oh, attorney general eric holder suggesting some of the trouble he's been in because of the fast and furious gun running operation is because he's black. but the gasoline that got the race fire lit this time around was this. president obama and arizona governor january brew brewer fa on a airport tarmac. all many saw was a white woman wagging her finger at the first black president. their disagreement was part of the ongoing battle over immigration policy. the federal government doesn't have one. for her part, governor brewer insists their only about politics. when brewer said she felt threatened by mr. obama that day, the naacp replied, quote, with what were you afraid he'd do? steal your purse, unquote? it's already getting ugly. experts say the true impact of racism on voting is

they found it part of it in the one publicly owned civic jewel of the very tiny, very poor, very african american citybenton harbor, michigan. found it in the publicly-owned park. for generations families went for baptisms or pass summer's night or teach kids to swim. the park was a gift to the town in 1917 from john clock, who founded the local newspaper and served as mayor. the family named the park after their daughter, jean, who died as an infant. they told the town when they gave the park over, "the beach is yours. the drive is yours. the dunes are yours, all yours. not so much a gift from my wife and myself it's a gift from a little child. see to it that the park is the childrens. the people of benton harbor did for nearly a century in a town without much, they at least had this one thing, didn't matter how much money you had, wasn't a private thing, was a public thing you walk out on the beach and the natural beauty was yours to love. now, what used to be the park looks like this. harbor shores golf course carving out a 22 acre slice of it. a family pass to play golf at the private course is $5

across the city, 40% of people are so poor they qualify for food stamps. >> there is a greater and growing sense of, there is something not right here. there is something wrong with the way most people are having to live their lives, the amount of struggle involved in their existence, the income disparity between beverly hills, a rodeo drive, and rodeo road in los angeles is enormous. there is the difference between people living in luxury and people barely making it. >> people living in luxurworldst with just 5 miles between them. >> for more on the growing, economic divide, i am joined by the author of a new book, " aftershock -- the next economy and america's future." we focus in that report on los angeles. to what extent is this not just the trend of a city or state not even a country, but a global issue? >> undoubtedly, it is happening globally. globalization and technology will -- technological change are driving forces, giving a vintages to people who are well- connected and well educated -- giving advantages to people who are well-connected and well- educated. some people's jobs ar

and it's just far more ordinance being poored into the city and no way of predicting where it's goinge's a lot of neighborhoods. you can figure out where a sniper is but you can't figure out where the shell is going to land. just the terror of the people and the helplessness of these families hiding on the first floor. all they can do is pray it doesn't hit them. it's difficult to watch. >> many young people in syria are risking themselves every day to bring us images. our arwa damon is taking us into a building in homs that has become a hub for the opposition. >> reporter: it hit us. it hit our house. there is something burning, the voice on the tape cries out. the media house has been hit. drop the live camera, someone yells. they have discovered our live position. but nothing they say will shut them down. we survey the damage: to get to the upper floor, you have to hug the wall because there's one window that is exposed but this is where you really see the full impact of the damage that was caused by the incoming rounds. i mean, this right here, it just speaks for itself: it's not
