it is not underutilized. those restaurants are there and have been there and they are there because there is business there. it is not underutilized. i will let you draw your own conclusion about what you think about that statement. the other issue, off the great tries to -- grid tireries to say grumpy's sales -- sells alcohol and they do not. most people do not drink alcohol at lunch. even their own brief says its. they serve alcohol at happy hour. happy hour starts at 5:00. after work is over. the food trucks are not even there at 5:00. we agreed they are not competing with grumpy's alcohol business. the fact they do not serve dhaka hall at lunch is irrelevant -- alcohol at lunch is irrelevant. they are serving burgers to people who work and go back to their offices. in closing, i would ask you to take a high level look at the intent of the statute and recognize that off the grid is not, the way they are doing this is not what was intended. they are not food operators and they are not chefs. they are a comp

so much places are underutilized depending upon the region. we try to make that balance. we're not building any more parking structures. >> reporter: after 10 a.m. anyone can park in reserved spaces. any time before that and you risk a ticket. shortly after 9 a.m. we found this metro transit police officer writing tickets. the cost, $50. >> this year i paid for one ticket for parking in reserved parking. i knew i was going to get a ticket anyway, but hey, i need to get to where i need to get to. >> reporter: metro is reevaluating its reserved parking spaces. in some underutilized spots some of those spaces could be opened to the public or the price lowered to 45 or $50 to encourage users. >> i think there's 10 stations we're analyzing now that will have lower prices for those users basically. >> reporter: there's a balance between having enough parking for everyone, not just those who arrive early, but those who may need to come later. >> otherwise the people that need to come after 8:30 have no option. it would just be completely filled up. so i guess i think it's okay.

there are a lot of underutilized public space and i realize these soil needs to be rehabilitated but i think there might be a way we can work on sites in between development. there was some talk of this a couple of years ago but maybe we can start looking again at publicly owned, under-utilized sites since the idea is one that is being discussed. i look forward to having discussions with public health. therefore the lot on community health impact studies, i think that directly links to this issue of our urban agriculture. finally, i do support mr. allen's amendments of around the employment of the use and that sort of thing. the urban agriculture issue. will it be held in the department of the environment? where will that be? where will it be located? >> if i could answer, right now the city administrator's office is talking about the best place to house staff, said that decision has not been made, but that is something that i hope that the city administrator can make in short order. the idea was to get the department's shopping. >> -- supervisor wiener: dph be an obvious choice, i w

there are stringent requirements. >> i understand that. >> it is underutilized. it already provides the possibility of deterring and punishing it. what i understand that. my question to you is whether this law is unconstitutional or violations of the first amendment. you are arguing that it is. >> my argument is that it raises serious constitutional concerns. it may chill protected speech. we do not know what the supreme court is going to do in the alvarez case. it will speak one way or another and they provide substantial guidance on the ability of congress to punish speech that is not truthful. >> we are not disputing that it was not truthful or dumb maliciously. we're not disputing that the intense -- done maliciously. we're not disputing that the intent was malicious. we are wondering if it would be constitutionally protected. it is not a real distinction. it is not a difference that makes a a difference as my professors used to say. >> this is an important discussion. let's remember what we are talking about. we're talking about lying. we are talking about i

we were pretty much underutilized. it has done very well. it caused a displacement. sometimes those things happen. as i mentioned, the old station was that the hibernia bank at #one jones. new station in 2000. this is at 30180. it has a community room and station on this side. that was the old wagner auto body repair station. the building was built in 1927. and we have reduced crime rate. i will not go through every one of them, but i will briefly touch on them. quality of life isn't older term. you have the option now of intervention and prevention with different service providers, the labor courts. again, we have had some great success. couple businesses that were problematic stores and markets were the district attorney took civil action against. rather than go criminal, we went the civil route, which turned out to be a lot better for us and was overall for the neighborhood. i was not without the help of a lot of people in the neighborhood and some of those are sitting in the audience that help this out with that. increased awareness of pedestrian safety through s

this is not some underutilized site that has not haddú traffic.r decades has been a sight of a major office building and mattel, a block square of buildings that attracted thousands of people per day, so, yes, this will be incremental bum 0 to some high threshold. this is an important side, as the hospitals have been appropriate neighbors the route that side of the city, but we have the opportunity to build this at the right place, at the right time, and i urge you to recommend your colleagues the approval of the resolution that is before this board and the committee today. thank you. next speaker. >> hello, my name is -- and i support the you rebuilding. i add that several jobs in the city and outside of the city. i have served on community boards and even raise a child in the city, and all of that i have done without owning a car, so i want you to know that it is possible to rely on your legs or walking and relying on the muni and an occasional taxi cab, so i speak in particular about the comments that some of the opera -- opposition made in ter

supervisor wiener asked about it, because it has been called a visionary plan, and it is, to take an underutilized commercial corridor and transform it into housing, transit dense housing, may be affordable housing, and also trying to avoid more traffic impacts, said there can be no office buildings build any more on van ness. every building built there would have to be housing, and it could have a small amount of commercial space, maximum three to one commercial space. that would be like your lower floors. this is going to take out 1.5 blocks, who knows how many units, of the housing? maybe 1000. maybe more. looking at, say, the san francisco towers, and i do not see in the eir, maybe i missed it, the quantification. when i heard about how many units might be generated by the work force and how many are lost there, and then you think about how many can be paid for, miniscule is the millions that were mentioned. it could be 2000 net deficit that we are losing. and then the traffic. highway 1 201 as well as major transit routes, and transit routes all around there, and this will have 1227 parking s

. >> very underutilized word, but i like it. >> let it be documented, 4:39. >>> so are we expecting more sunshine? >> a great-looking day shaping up good morning to you, bay area. temperatures this morning, nice and comfortable, in the 50s and 60s headed towards the 70s. morrissey across the bay may touch on the very low 80s, i'm talk like fairfield and gilroy, but 70s yet again and picture-perfect conditions. as you head from the coast right now into your inland cities, the marine larry has filled out all of your inland cities this morning, but you're going to get the best drive right now. as we head through the next few hours, that's when it starts to settle in through the surface. slight warming as we head throughout this afternoon, and then we've got the 90s, even triple-digit potential in your seven-day forecast. i'll take you through that coming up, 4:39 first. mike's already busy on a wednesday morning. >> fortunately i can give updates, and one of the updates we have is there is a clearing for highway 24. the accident we had over there westbound 24 at broadway has cleared off to

some places are underutilized, depending on the region. we try to make that balance, we're not building more parking structures. >> reporter: after 10:00 a.m., anyone can park in the reserved spaces. any time before that, and you risk a ticket. metro is reevaluating its reserved parking spaces. in some underutilized spots it could be open to the public. >> i think about 10 stations we're analyzing now that will probably have lower prices for the reserved spaces. >> reporter: there's a balance between having enough parking for everyone, not just those who arrive early, but those who need to come later. >> otherwise, the people who need to come after 8:30 would have no option. it would be completely filled up. i guess i think it's okay, that pro makes more money and give -- metro makes more money and gives people an option. >> reporter: but there's not enough parking and likely never will be. sherri ly fox 5 news. >> metro plans to make changes in the fall. they say one reason the lots fill up so fast, most people are driving alone. they say

moreover, our economy, we have underutilized resources and huge unmet needs. so again, something is wrong. there are also articulated views that politics hasn't fixed it and they're articulating the view that is consistent with this book, that something is unfair about what is going on so the politics doesn't word. there's inequities and inefficiency. the difficulty is having an agenda to fix it. they articulate it head was wrong but didn't have an agenda. the tea party movement has a simplistic solution which will make things worse and be worse even for their self-interest, and that -- i think that's eventually they'll figure that out, but it may be a very painful process, not only for them but for the whole country. >> thank you. >> hi. i'm a college student and unpaid intern, by the way. my question is, how do we lure these people away from the financial world into the world of innovation and policy if you're proposing to abolish rent, seeking, i feel like that's devaluing ideas and discoveries. so how do you convince a culture -- >> no, no. discovery is no

what senator carper wanted to find out was about the scope of underutilized property.hey wanted to look at the database that was supposed to be a compilation of the property and how it's working and what could be done to potentially improve it. host: the first line of the report says, "the real property portfolio would include almost 400,000 buildings located throughout the country." guest: the scope is staggering. there are structures including bridges and everything from a one-square block post office in the middle of a big city to a hut along the appalachian trail and everything in between. it is an incredibly diverse and vast portfolio. host: it says there are 3.3 5 billion square feet of space involved. 80% of federally owned. 17% is leased and 4% is managed otherwise. can you give some context? guest: the portfolio is vast, but there have been concerned on an over-reliance on leasing. it is more cost-effective for the government to own properties rather than lease them. host: how much money is used as far as the ownership, upkeep, and central costs? guest: it var
