we realized it was being underutilized. while it was faithfully serving the employees the of navares, it could best be utilized in the city by the police department. >> the mayor said that the city would never haveable to afford it. the police chief said that he was surprised at all the equipment found in the truck. >>> and police arrested a woman accused of slashing tires. police say that they conducted a thoughtful and tedious investigation and linked the crime to mandisessa monroe of berkeley. she was arrested on tuesday. she is also suspected of spray painting a few cars. >>> organizers of a 9/11 anniversary event at the washington cathedral announced this morning that they're going to have to change locations because of a crane collapse. workers were using the crane when it collapsed yesterday. the crane was repairing damage to the cathedral after last month's earthquake. calmed the concert of hope, sunday's anniversary event will now be held at the memorial center. and president obama will be attending. >>> and many p

it seems to be underutilized and not used. i have a background as a journalist and a reporter. it turns out reporters by the hundreds. they are not used in the investigative division that is understaffed, and there are people that aren't paying $150,000 a year to do clerical work. i have objected to that nonstop, even last year when the police commission is very well organized. i don't think we need a lieutenant commander making $175,000 a year. those are the types of jobs that go for $15 an hour. begin the facts out of cases and turning them over to investigators. to save a lot of time. the reporters are city reporters and down the road, we are looking for real jobs. having jobs for the sfpd and the occ. nobody has ever utilized them. on the complaint i have against officer would where he assaulted me for a minute and a half in front of 12 witnesses, i was interviewed by telephone. and that was in. and then it got lost in a reshuffle. no one person came up to me an interview me at all. i did my interviews later by talking to people in the same room. 12 other hall of justice em

unfortunately, i don't think it's easy enough to evaluate projects that come before us and i think it's an underutilized tool and maybe we could look at ways of utilizing it more in relationship to other things that come before us. the widening of sidewalks and pedestrian safety efforts, even though there's a high demand for parking, i think where it is possible to transform some of those areas to more friendly usage would be good because pedestrian safety is a concern to a lot of residents in that area. food access is something i would like to learn more about. maybe in the next presentation, if we could elaborate on food access in that area, the hyde related to the art spaces is a good idea and d commitment to racially and socially integrated society was good. finally highlight to at some point speak to mr. lloyd -- mr. lord and about the unkind piece that i know we went over about a year ago, but i think it's time to revisit as applies to this particular plan. we may have to revisit that but we can get to that later or have a short hearing about that thank you. >> i would like to thank everyone for a

we are developing another example of taking underutilized city property and dedicating it for affordable housing. i think thati think that is a wl model for moving forward. it is on the ocean. it was identified for affordable housing as part of the balboa park station area plan. also a prolonged planning process similar to the eastern neighborhoods planning process. as a community-based developer, we know the best projects come with a lot of community support. this is a great example. you are hearing the message loud and clear from the community. someone mentioned, which is true that the mission has an extreme density of children. highest in the city. while that is true, they are not necessarily house in appropriate and family-sized units. matching a dedicated portion of this for families is a great next step. there are next steps to make this happen. i encourage you to continue to support the process as it moves toward, thank you. supervisor wiener: i do not know if moh is here. from what i have seen in terms of what future affordable housing will be, it is sort of indeterminate at this

the ubde is underutilized disadvantaged business enterprise. i've just wonder -- i just wonder if that is falling under the lbe, because usually it does not. i am also wanting to say, too, with regards to prevailing wages, the truckers have had a serious problem with prevailing wages and that first of all, you have an owner or operator, and you have a driver. he may have to trucks. you have to hire a driver to drive the second truck, but what is always eliminated is the hourly rental rate for that piece of equipment. so the rental rate for the equipment and the actual our the rate for the operator is combined for us. now, you were talking about inflation and. that is one area that has sublet since 1988. that has been inflated. most of them know there is an hourly equipment rental rate like there is for every other piece of equipment on the job. your screen, scraper, a bulldozer, and then you have to pay the individual to operate. i am just hoping that h r c or someone overseas this project. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you. next speaker,

what could be done at glen park and what you are talking about is there are some and the spaces underutilized and buildings that are basically grosz's that are falling down -- structures that are not even being used -- garages that are not even being used. it's important that it be contexture all and not out of the architectural character with the rest of the area. glen park has been fortunate is even more than west portal in that it survived architecturally most of the '60s when there are a few areas where things were torn down and single level surface level parking was provided. but not many. that's good and i think you have the opportunity and it would add to it and also keep the character, which is important. i understand the concerns about the creek. it's probably not year round door very little flow during the off months -- year round or very little flow during of months. but unless you had a source like a lake where you could control the flow and keep it coming at a regular pace, you will end up with stagnation and something that's not very attractive many months of the year. that is s

that plan will transform an underutilized section of downtown san francisco, south of market street, into a thriving transit-oriented neighborhood. 2600 new homes, 35 percent of which will be affordable. 3 million square feet of new office space and 10,000 square feet of retail. that is what that is going to be. and folsom street will be the centerpiece of this new neighborhood and will feature widened sidewalks, views of the bay, cafes, and markets. watch out for that. that will be an exciting place for the new part of downtown. in our south of market area, the trans bay terminal will sustain growth in our south of market area, a neighborhood that has grown with the tech companies that haul it home. there are more than 1500 companies in san francisco, as i said earlier, with the city's tech industry located right in that neighborhood. soma is also home to the convention center, which is a centerpiece of our city's tourism. dream force -- as the beginning of the month, september 1, we held the ninth annual dream force in san francisco. it brought over 40,000 visitors to san francisco

i have to say that the message she talked about in iowa crony capitalism is a underutilize discussionlicans. the fact is obama is moving our economy away for where you know and what you know is more. >> chris: that is a criticism leveled at rick perry he did that in texas and in fact in the paper today shows all of the big contractors and what they got. >> every governor's job is to bring jobs in their state. president obama if you look at health care waivers. 1,700 were granted and we don't know the conditions of the grant. but they went to uniemployees. and if you look at the story about the solar panel company. 535 million loann guarantee and we are on the hook for it as taxpayers and his beneficenceys is a big donor. if you get a federal contract you have to tell us. we would like to before we approximate give the contract. she is on to something. >> chris: ed gillespie is so good. that was a squeeze against barack obama. >> her message is resonant. >> chris: i didn't say you were wrong. you are skillful. 30 seconds left. chris dris. any idea what sarah palin is doing? running or

to say the message that she talked about in iowa the krone any capital iowa many is i think an underutilizedcussion point and critique. barack obama is moving the economy away from our economy of where what you know matters to who you know matters more. >> chris: that is a criticism leveled at rick perry, too, that he did that in texas and in fact there is a story in unwith of the papers today that shows all of the big contributors and what they got. >> every governor's jo be is to try to bring jobs into the state. i'm talking about with president obama when you look at for example the healthcare waivers for the mandates, 1,700 have been granted. we have no idea how but 50% went to union employees. when you look at the story about this solar panel company that went bankrupt. $535 million loan guarantee we are on the hook for as taxpayers and one of the biggest beneficiaries of that is one of his biggest donors. the fact that they are still talking about if you get a federal contract you have to tell us who who you gave money to. she is on to something here that i think the party needs to pic
