conversation, sincere gestures from cpmc and that we don't have to -- deal with the level of -- that we have been dealing with so far in our engagement with this institution and this project sponsor which i think really does far surpass other experiences that we have had in our dealings with other -- huge developments that have these -- this little of impact on the city. you know, if you don't you can't admit patients that you don't have. so that might be responseable for some of the statistics. even the central city statistics which were quoted today and i won't name the two hospitals, that have lower levels of admission than do the cal pacific campuses not including st. lukes. i think there's movement in the direction clearly. i tend to think there is been a lot of problems, have been through these hearings before and i think some have been sats -- satisfactorily answered. they've agreed to this thing. if i'm reading it wrong -- ok. it certainly reads according to this document that i have from barbara garcia it looks like these are in the process of being reached. i'm happy and i

do believe it is sincere. think there are different ways to look at it and on the tax side of it it is lowering the rate in broadening the base. it is spreading out over a much larger percentage. as you well know, less than 50% of the people are paying 100% of taxes in this country so it does broaden the base. we pick winners and losers when it comes to things we can develop in our taxes and i think that is the area which you are seeing some discrepancies. i have kind have been through, it seems like i've been at all financial levels in my life and i think i have been blessed because of that but i do see whether it be growing up and my dad was a mailman or playing in the nfl there is a big discrepancy difference in income but, sometimes they didn't need some of those deductions that i was allowed, and i just think as opposed to picking winners and losers that is the way we can create the revenue that we can over the long-haul, and you know, if we want to put one of those backend, then we just increase the rate

he comes off to me as a very sincere individual, concerned about the neighborhood. he is a fourth generation san franciscan. he has owned this pediculicide 40 generations. he has another tenant in the same area. he must be concerned about them. i think as bad as perhaps the drugs are, i think it has been clearly stated and i have read that that is a nexus for crime and it does create a problem. the other thing that impressed me was that it had to do with the people who showed up. maybe they are acting beyond their purview. maybe the strict reading this not allow them to have done what they did. maybe it does. that is not something that is before us. i think undeniably, these are people who are concerned about the tenderloin. they have a demonstrated record of doing positive things in that area. legitimate businesses move into the area would be positive. this comes as a great disappointment to those people who have been here many many times over this. i cannot support of their appeal. you might have the fourth vote anyway and you might not need mine but i wish you th

it is my sincere belief that the best path forward must include substantive policy based conversations about issues facing our city. while we may not always start with the same approach to solving important policy issues like pension costs, budget cuts and job growth strategies, i am confident we all share the same goals of creating jobs and balancing the budget. it is no secret that city government needs to control the increasing cost of entitlements. we must do this because if we do not, the core function of government, health services, parks and public safety will suffer. we have a serious budget deficits. we have a mandate to create jobs for the people of san francisco. it is our responsibility to keep the city beautiful and livable for all people of all incomes and in all neighborhoods. whatever it takes to accomplish these goals, sessions like this question time or town hall meetings in your district, i'm eager to show up for those discussions. with that said, i appreciate the thoughtful questions you sent last week. i look forward to this discussion. president chiu: thank you, m

we take it as a very sincere question of how we can cut costs. one way that we can tell you is cutting $40 million of the city costs by doing one then. but you asked for an economic figure. i called my office and they brought it over. what do i do, but this sunday -- i want to make clear that these are zero well-deserved wages. we have an effect of work force. the hospitals in northern california, particularly in the bay area are the most effective anywhere in the country. that is because of our incredibly effective work force. here is the information you have asked for. nurses received about -- ken dollars more an hour. i want to look forward to working with you on reducing costs. supervisor campos: is there any member of the public that would like to speak? >> of what to say thank you for organizing this hearing. it comes at a very timely point in the city's development. i was blown away by some of these statistics. quality doesn't change. it is a factor of looking at the market. then made a statement that what we need is more transparency. an

it is my sincere hope that we can continue to come together as we face the many difficult challenges that lie ahead from creating jobs and growing our economy to educating our children and reducing our deficit. that is what the american people expect us to do. that is why they sent us here. a few days ago, i received a letter from a mother in colorado. over the year, her son's eighth grade class saved up money and work on projects of that next week they could take a class trip to washington, d.c. they even had an appointment to lay a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier. the mother wrote that for the last few days, the kids had been worried and upset that they might have to cancel their trip because of this shutdown. she asked those of us in washington to get past petty grievances and make things right, and she said, "remember, the future of this country is not for us, it is for our children." today we acted on behalf of our children's future. next week when 50 graders are right in our nation's capital, i hope that they get a chance to look up at the washington monument and feel

out sincere -- excelsior has little to no capacity to provide mental health services for our children, youth, and bolts, and seniors. many families are forced to access that the health services in other districts. for many who cannot afford to travel costs, they do not receive services, which in the long run, perpetuates the problem and becomes a larger cost for the city to remedy later. we have names but district 11 also has great assets and strengths. we have good collaborations and leveraging of resources. the existing organizations in district 11 have the capacity to provide programs and services in multiple languages. we have the commitment and work from community volunteers. family resource centers and other centers are providing as much support as possible to provide support, not only for an individual, but for the whole family. despite the limited funding from the city, all organizations are working together to streamline services so that they can be more effective to all members of the family in order to foster a more thriving community. our solution is simple. we know the bu

he was down-to-earth and sincere and people were impressed. >> they have a lot of respect for him, i'day. >> yes. >> good for the future of the monarchy? >> definitely. he should be the next king. >> they put into words that may gather momentum after the wedding. but the rules of succession of the british throne are very clear and do not permit any choice. william is indeed a future king, but he is not the next king. the next in line to the throne is, of course, the queens the eldest son and heir, prince charles, who has made it clear that he hopes that his wife camilla will be crowned alongside him as britain's queen. that is the way the constitution works. there can be no exceptions. or can there? max hastings is an editor of the daily telegraph. >> if time passes and prince william is more and more the center of the stage, one question is bound to be asked. would it be in today's interest, including those of the prince of wales, for a new, young, and next generation prince william to succeed to the throne? i think an enormous amount would seem to be what is the will of the british p

i congratulate him, and ideas so sincerely for delivering our own health care reform. per something that is done so much good for so many people, i did not understand why he runs away from that today. my state is not in his candidacy. my stake is in the reelection of president barack obama. he is the kind of visionary leader that we need right now facing -- given the challenges facing us as a nation. tavis: to your book, "a reason to believe." >> you and i have talked about some of this in the past. i grew up on the south side of chicago and spent most of that time on welfare. my mother and sister and i used to live with our grandparents and various cousins. the three of us slept in one of those bedrooms and had assets of bunk beds. i went to under resource public schools, but we have a real sense of community. those were days in the 1950's and 1960's were every child was under every jurisdiction of every adult on the block. i think this book -- those experiences in different settings. i had a scholarship in 1970, harvard law school, in the sudan where i worked after c

i believe that karzai is sincere in wanting peace like most others. certainly he would like to see them into the fighting and enhancing his own reputation. at a time that he really believes in a deal. he's too clever not to understand that he's not likely to survive any real power sharing. his high peace council is window dressing to keep the ethnic minorities, the other ethnic groups from thinking that he's going to strike a deal behind their backs. karzai endgame is that by adhering to be the peacemaker, and at the same time holding onto his loyalists he puts himself in the best position to survive once the international community deserts him, or pushes him out, and he believes both of those. the united states at the same time can ill afford to stand in the way of automatic process. we've been hearing about. lesson being being accused of the spoiler. now, we can't have, we can't have a long-term relationship, military relationship bases or anything which smacks of a strategic relationship and have reconciliation at the same time. it is one or the ot

i offer you my sincere congratulations. you keep using that term primary balance. >> you are asking about sustainability. >> on page 40, the surplus deficit total, again, there is a deficit of over $400 billion. and the question is, is that level of deficit, $4 billion, is that a little you feel is sustainable? >> is clearly too high. but as every economist measure sustainability, yes, it is underneath that level. let me just tell you. >> a quick question to clarify that. at that level of deficit, $400 billion, the third debt go up or down? >> every year there is a deficit -- of course you are adding to the dead. -- the debt. the question is, as a percentage of the economy. is your mortgage relative to your income? is the business longer to get for your business small enough or the right size that you can cash flow it? is that that your country is taking on the right size relative to your country's ability to pay it? and so for primary balance, if you are at or below it, the economy is growing but your dad as a percentage o

things they hope we will have an opportunity to discuss in length but be -- because i understand how sincere the concerns are of this board. we think these are the proper topic for discussion at the substantive hearing on the merits about the project approval itself and the development agreement itself. i do want to go to one other point having to do with the discussion about some of the alternatives to the project and i would respectfully submit to you i think there's been a con plating of the ceqa analysis and some of the concerns about displacement. the analysis, as mr. cooper said, the analysis in this e.i.r. as a very extensive range of alternatives. i would argue that it's far more extensive than you would typically see in an e.i.r. document there are five amount analyst, including a no-project alternative, a preservation alternatives, when maintenance a lot of the -- maintains a lot of the central part of the document. there's a partial preservation alternative that was also fully analyzed. all three of those were fully analyzed. nice, there were two other alternatives considered but
