the planning code because it didn't meet the majority of criteria and it was not demonstratively unaffordable. at the time the smaller unit was appraised and it qualified. the project sponsor choose to wait 6 months for new appraisals and the department adjusted the threshold. under the cladding administrative review it is only available for affordable housing. the mayors derivative and the policy changes that result in the removal or loss of a building unit be brought before the planning commission. regardless of whether the unit are proposed for chances. today, the department has received no containments. we recommend disapproval it's under developed under the entitlements and the subject lot is zoned c-3 r and the project was entitled with one hundred and 42 condominium units in 2001 and since the 3 dwelling mergers have been resulted in the existing one hundred and 39 united mixed use building that will result in a loss in a building that's primary inassessable or demonstratively unaffordable. it should be with the code to obtain legal housing unit. that concludes my presentation i'm happ

building that will result in a loss in a building that's primary inassessable or demonstratively unaffordable. it should be with the code to obtain legal housing unit. that concludes my presentation i'm happy to a answer questions >> thank you. project sponsor >> hello, i'm paul. along with my business pattern we're working with the architects that owns the two units and i want to thank the planning commission for hearing our proposal and in particular mr. burns. and as you've heard from ms. burns the department is recommending the proposed merger be disapproved failing below the financially or demonstratively unaffordable houses and it's not in keeping with the executive derivative so i think i want to speak to the criteria and to the recently adapted threshold of $1 million plus. first, the $1.5 million is appraised of single-family home, however, it's board and it's not clear to us as well as to our clients how the single-family residents is not defined it's compared to not an apples to apples comparison as well as to the condo i'm wondering in consideration is giving to the hoa fees and t

they said it would be unaffordable for the country. they were wrong about that. they were wrong to keep trying to repeal a law that is working when they have no alternative answer for millions of americans with pre-existing conditions who would be denied coverage again. or every woman who would be charged more for just being a woman again. >> just about every prediction the naysayers made about this law turned out not to be true. and the president hammered republicans for sticking to their same old tired plan of full repeal. >> we now know for a fact that repealing the affordable care act would increase the deficit, raise premiums from millions of americans and take insurance away from millions more. the 50 or more votes the republicans have taken to repeal the law could have been 50 votes to create jobs. the debate over repeal should be over. i recognize their party is going through the stages of grief, anger, denial, all that stuff. and it's -- we're not at acceptance yet, but at some point, my assumption is that there will be an int

so that makes homes particularly unaffordable for them. but then again, affordability is actually shrinking for everyone right now. in fact, in seven major american metros, more than half of the homes currently on the market are unaffordable for local residents. that's according to zillo which looked at incomes as well as the median home prices in those markets. and among the 35 largest metros, nationwide, more than half of homes currently listed for sale in miami, los angeles, san diego, san francisco, denver, san jose and portland, oregon, unaffordable by historical standards. markets like houston, charlotte and phoenix, they are also not far behind. i have been talking to a lot of real estate agents on the ground from coast to coast and it's funny, they keep using the same phrase to me, sticker shock. they have people coming through the homes, they say they have good buyer traffic, it is not translating because the prices are a lot higher than folks expected. more of course online, realtycheck.cnbc.com. >> we will hop to it. thank you v

the middle-class should wake up and understand it unaffordable health care, unaffordable education, all those tax dollars have been brought to the campaign funding of the upper 1%. they run the country and they want the president to have no confrontation from the other portion, the congress. that is all that is going on. so you are saying the rise? absolutely. this is the way it is going to be until the american people step in and throw these guys out of office in congress so that they can put in people who will actually do the job of the constitution. guest: well, i agree with a lot .f that, probably most of that again, it is a subject for another time, but there is a kind of new aristocracy that is emerging, and it is not just the 1%. it is the professional class, sometimes 1%, sometimes 5%, whatever the number is. and that should be worrying. you know what should be the most worrying thing right now? the decline of mobility. promise, the promise of america was a country where everybody could get ahead. you know what, that is denmark. that is not america. we're about his class structu

premium of demand they're saying go we shouldn't build them they're not affordable they're only unaffordable if a they're not built. those are some of the highlights >> thank you. >> i'd like to add a few comments on on the eir on the analysis of alternatives the revisions have is shown the work the city needs to show in terms of the conditions of the process or community meetings i think there is a place for community meetings on all projects but they've been outside the elements thought and is elements is a guiding element on balance not to every single point. there's an important place for community input on a larger parcel or area plan but they should happen when those come forward. commissioner moore >> i believe that the document has come a long way from where it was the communities comments have on incorporated and san francisco board of supervisors land use & economic development committee found the implications of the alternatives and in a readable and understandable something resonates by the public comments i would be concerned that under policy 12 japantown should be deleted beca

they said it would be unaffordable for the country. they were wrong about that. >> there really is no gain any more. >> the president is beating republicans over the head. >> this is what the president is saying "go ahead make my day." >> the point is the repeal debate is and should be over. ♪ >>> conservatives have made a lot of bad prediction as but obamacare since last october. this, this might have been the most spectacularly wrong one. >> i have always said that the failure of obamacare will dwarf the train wreck of obamacare will dwarf the minor derailment of the shutdown. ted cruz is going to look better and better. he understood that obamacare is the center of gravity in american politics. >> yes it is. weekly standard editor bill crystal did predict, october 27th, that not only would obamacare be a "train wreck" but ted cruz and repeal crusade would be vindicated by it. well president obama went to the briefing room today to tell the press just what a failure his health care law has been. >> the number of americans who have si

solely,ust rely on them it is unaffordable. if you role in the qualifying security, butcial if you role in unemployment, even if partial employment -- one of the meanings -- things that we run into when you start to combine resources and benefits is that one negates another. you have someone who is fully qualified for social security because they have a disability. x number ofre than hours and now they are not eligible. it is a trickle-down affect before you know it. how do you do it? way, isoach, holistic to not look at housing. look at housing with employment and other earned benefits. -- we have also gone to local apartment owners. augusta, about 15% are vacant at any time. that is not the case here. whenwe have found is that we bring a qualified veteran to a developer and say, if there is anything beyond homeownership, behavioral issues, if anything comes up, call us. you do not have to figure out howho to go to. they say really? we become a partner with them. you are all over the united states doing great stuff. i am sure

development and we're at risk at becoming a district and city that is building housing that is unaffordable for san franciscans. we're trying to have market payment when we go out of line. it's one we have been reaching in district 6. keep in mind, a regional housing goal is 60 percent. 60 percent should be built for those making between zero and 120 percent ami. our legislation is proposing a floor. we would like to see a floor that meets our production which is 30 percent. these are the four main goals of the legislation that i'm choosing today. our first goal is to encourage a balance approach to the construction and approval of housing. affordable housing are limited. 29 units of housing were producing in district 6. only 29 percent of these housing units were affordable. the current sale price that we're seeing is $800,000 and the medium for one bedroom is $3,000. it's beyond the reach of our most residents. they access housing through the affordable housing programming, are there only buyable housing approach. we have the income character of our district. district has the highest numb

there are a number of things, what's driving families out of this city is the unaffordability of housing. if a family wants to be in a single family home, many families will never be able to afford a home in san francisco. there are other housing options they need to consider. our restrictive housing policies in this city, having the city grown over 75,000 people in this decade and only adding 80,000 units and exploding prices, that is what's causing problems for families. these findings if they had any connection to the facts from the ground in 1984, i don't think they would today. i'm open to supporting the amendment exempting rh 1d districts. but only if those findings are stripped out because i will not support any legislation that reiterates those erroneous findings. >> okay. supervisor wiener has made an amendment to supervisor yee's amendment. can i have a second? we have a full roster here. is there anyone here, supervisor kim? >>supervisor jane kim: i would like to speak on the original amendment but it's fine on the motion as amended. can i speak on that. >> hold on. let's amen

they said it would be unaffordable for the country. they were wrong about that. they were wrong to keep trying to repeal a law that is working, and i know every american isn't going to agree with this law, but i think we can agree that it's well pastime to move on. >> the republican party's response, yeah, whatever, man. "the wall street journal" has a remarkable story. they report that republican leaders are telling the party's house members that persistent criticism of the federal health care law is the best path to victory this fall regardless of how the law's implementation evolves ahead of the november elections. the washington post put it a bit more bluntly reporting that after intense polling and focus groups, they've decide that the ideal rallying cry is obamacare, grrr, which is pretty much what we saw after the president's press conference yesterday. >> this system is riddled with errors and destined for failure ultimately. >> if it's hurting the doctor, it's hurting the hospital, it's hurting the patient, it's hurting the economy it's going to cost a f

would be it unaffordable for the country. they were wrong about that. trying e wrong to keep to repeal a law that is working hen they have no alternative answer for millions of americans. > the president went on to go after states which also haven't expanded medicaid to allow more to sign up to get coverage. molly, why did the president political to go on a offensive like there? >> i think the feeling is the are on their side. we know whether a debacle the and it was out was touch and go for a while. it was not clear they were going to get the sign-ups. it was thought many with be deterred from signing up by the rollout. became clear the cboe projection was seven and they lowered it to six when the rollout was a isaster and now we have eight million so there is a feeling they have ammunition to make the case to the american people that words this isnt's working. i think also a lot of democrats behind the scenes have been do this because they feel like they can't make n affirmative case if the administration itself almost seems to be running away. gwen:
