i was like this cannot be possible in a city that is all about creativity and play and uniqueness. we can't lose jeffery's toys. that is when i came in and said to my dad and step-mom, there is no way we're letting this happen. and then with the support of the city, support of the mayor and the legacy program, we were able to just open up our toy store once again in the city, just a couple of months ago. so, we think -- we think we can still safely say we've been here since 1966. but, you know, in a world of amazon and wal-mart and all this, people still want an experience. people still want to come in and be able to touch the toys, be able to touch the productses, to be able to have an experience. the same kind of experience you get when you see a film. right? people still want that. and in the city that is the most, in my opinion, the most creative, unique city in the world, we gotta have a toy store. we gotta have shopping and dining experiences that are one of a kind. so we're so happy to be part of this shop and dine in the 49 and, once again, since 1966, creating a fun place,

supportive homeless housing has been included as part of a private project and perhaps even more uniquely no city money from the mayor's office of housing or otherwise has been used to construct the c.h.p. building. we are donating the land and paying for the gap financing. second, we'll preserve the project center hotel and excellent retail frontage along market street near brady. indeed, we're planning to seek millsac treatment for the civic center hotel and thus will be adding the building to the national register and look forward to coming back to the board of supervisors early in the new year. third, the project privately funds and delivers what was one of the most important open space aspirations of the market octavia plan which was a center piece publicly accessible open space that would serve the entire area. the extensive input from nearby residents, we've designed and will build an immersive garden that will be activated on all sides that also includes a decorative art piece that will screen the existing structure. interestingly, in meeting the challenges of the e-3 public policy issues

uniquely oakland. it is to have a ballpark that feels like the city. that has unique characteristics of the city. not just at&t park put in oakland or some building from another city. we want to get that input from people and have them understand what it means to be truly oakland. >> i asked on twitter for some feedback. a lot of people are saying, how is this tied into the actual team does retaining players. is this part of the whole thing ? you get a new stadium. you are not doing revenue- sharing. are you going to be able to retain young players? so people have someone to get excited about to come see? >> that is the key. the key to signing players for long-term and making sure you can get a jersey and have it for 10 years. it provides us with the revenue stream and the capability to sign guys like matt olson or matt chapman to long-term deals. that is why we are so excited. >> how does this not alienate the community in and around the area? >> i think you have to work with all of the community groups. we are trying to do outreach to plan it in a way that is appropriate and responsible and sol

this is one of those innovative ideas, very unique to the city and, of course, they're getting booked up like crazy and we're in the heart of our shopping and union square and, of course, the chief and i already have enough chants. we need some opportunities to smile and, of course, we're about to jump into this speckle pool. forgive us if we have too much fun. the holidays are beginning. we're going to have lots of fun. i want people to not just come to the city but take advantage of really supporting the backbone of our business community and small businesses and people here, karen fled knows union square is at the heart of a lot of things that we do during the holidays. you have jeffries toys, my favorites. they're a legacy business in the city. and keep supporting them. [shouting] we'll have all of the different business associations that are working together with us. but the experience is all about fun. safe fun. and that is why the chief and i will be doing a lot of things over the holidays to make safe shopper programs, to provide the safety level that people have. reduce the h

when i play indian i will do material unique to that city.changing it. that keeps it fresh and funny. i want to end with some words from ricky gervais, i don't know if you know him, him... he says, he has no problem offending people, but he says, yes, we comedians have the right to say horrible things, and everybody else has the right to hate you to doing it. you say horrible things, you have to take the consequences. are you prepared to live the rest of your life on that basis? saying horrible things and then taking the consequences?” think i have proven that. never has a comedian been on the interpol list and the five eyes list. obviously i am willing to take it. but how long can you do it? you are in your 50s now. 150 seven. iwas can you do it? you are in your 50s now. 150 seven. i was detained here, i will be detained at the next airport. you know what i think in the next anton enus? can i put this in the act? i might mention that quy: in the act? i might mention that guy, he is kind of funny, i will put this in the act. it is a lonely li

every day flood the lagoon city with thousands of tourists while endangering the city's fragile foundations. thanks to its unique canals romantic alleyways and renaissance architecture venice is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world for now that is with thirty million tourists and almost five hundred cruise ships passing through the lagoon each year the city is literally falling apart you know asco is threatening to withdraw and it says world heritage status now locals many of whom earn their living from the travel industry are calling for more sustainable tourism. every time tour guide so crosses the reale to a bridge he can't help but wonder where did his charming city go the one that's now overrun with millions of tourists how can then as protect itself from the onslaught of visitors he's sure this piece of world cultural heritage won't survive as a photo backdrop alone. my love for this city makes me seek out places and people who are keeping venice alive. because there are enough people who are countersteering and navigating the city into troubled waters. because they get it through and i

francisco known for it's looks at and history and beauty this place arts has it all but it's city government is pretty unique in fact, san francisco city departments are filled with truly initiative programming that turns this way our goal is to create programs that are easily digestable and easy to follow so that our resident can participate in healing the planet with the new take dial initiative they're getting close to zero waste we 2020 and today san francisco is diverting land filled and while those numbers are imperfect not enough. >> we're sending over 4 hundred thousand tons of waste to the landfill and over the 4 hundred tons 10 thousands are textile and unwanted listen ones doesn't have to be find in the trash. >> i could has are the ones creating the partnerships with the rail kwloth stores putting an in store collection box near the checks stand so customers can bring their used clothes to the store and deposit off. >> textile will be accessible in buildings thought the city and we have goodwill a grant for them to design a textile box especially for families. >> goodwill the well-known store has

members of the board, we neighbors love our unique street and are deeply engaged in it. city residents and tourists also enjoy the history and uniqueness of presidio terrace. it is a city treasure, and yet, the treasurer's office ignored our right to due process. his office failed to alert any of us by mail or phone or -- of the up coming sale and didn't tack a written notice on one or more of the many posts and trees that are in the circle. this would have been easy to accomplish. on behalf of the presidio terrace owners and all of the others who have found themselves in similarly untenable situations, i ask you to overturn the tax sale. thank you for your time. >>president breed: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening. my name is carol shearer, and my husband and i are moving from boston to san francisco in order to enjoy the vibrant y urban city, and to be closer to our grandchildren. to that end in 2016, we bought 27 presidio terrace. the house was in serious disrespect and requires a complete interior renovation and exterior restoration. we hired a team of perm

as colorful as the individual owner and as unique and chaotic as the city itself. an outsider, a jeepney ride is daunting. the routes and rates almost incomprehensible. but we tried it out on a hot summer afternoon. we want to get off at alphaland. filipino man: alphaland. sharyl: we climbed into the dark, tight, tiny interior. everybody say hi. sharyl: jeepneys move through the manila traffic congestion on routes memorized by the drivers and those standing at pickup spots along the road. climbing in or clinging on. this isn't a tourist tour. bye. sharyl: jeepney riders are the philippine working class. when you're aboard, it's hard to get a glimpse outside. the only view is face to face, knee to knee, of the person hot. sharyl: through slick and modern manila, we cut a colorful path through the evening commute. our jeepney arrives at what we think is our stop without announcement. and we exit into the less stifling evening air. >> bye, thank you. sharyl: a uniquely manila experience. a lot of fun. next week, we retrace the president's trip to explain how china's p

our own experiences, our own cultures and that is what san francisco supposedly a tolerant city, our uniqueness, who we are, how we were raised, whether in public housing like me, or large homes, we're all part of the city and we have an opinion and different experience. it doesn't make someone bad or good for their particular experience. and so, i think it's important that we as city leaders set the tone in how we treat each other as we develop this legislation. no one here from my perspective is opposed to equity. we just have differences of opinion as to how we believe we can achieve that particular goal, but we also can't say on the one hand, we want to see equity and then continue to develop a number of caps that exist all over the city which may make it challenging for those equity applicants to even have a location to be in the first place. we have a lot of work to do to get this right. clearly developing the appropriate equity program. clearly looking at the maps and how each of these caps and the differences of what we all want to see look on a larger map as we layer those things on to

it's the unique selling point of a city, a country, that kind of thing, which is surely already out thereinaudible if you talk about lesser—known places, it isn't just if you talk about lesser—known places, it isn'tjust marketing, you have to look at the people. the way they've probably never looked at themselves and say, this is your tradition, your culture, this is how you do things, this is what you should be telling about yourselves. britain is an interesting one. what about england, how would you market england rather than britain? it's notjust england. if somebody doesn't want to set up business in london, how can kent and cambridge compete for this person? cambridge compete for this person? cambridge would have academic flair, biotech start—ups, but kent is closer to europe, manchester... you would think it is the same country but there is still a lot of diversity in terms of people's values. that is what is essential. it's not just values. that is what is essential. it's notjust selling. it's about discovering these things. give us an example of what you've done. of a city that yo

residents of the city who take the time to come to these meetings to participate whether it is 6:00 at night or 10:00 at night and what have you. --i think this commission has a unique responsibility. whereas all the cities' commissions serve the residents of the city, this commission is charged to carry out oversights that impact folks who may not be san francisco residents, but their work impacts san francisco residents. their perspectives and engagement for me is also critical so that as we deliberate policies and other action items, it's good to have all sides' perspectives. i hear folks who want to keep it the way it is. i understand that. but at the same time to really try to broaden up the participatory pull, so to speak, i'd like for us to try this out as a trial run. because as a bylaw, we can always change it. but at least make it available for folks who otherwise could not make it in the evening times so that they can attend, they can add their perspective as we engage with the public. so i would like to make a motion to approve this proposal from the staff. >> chair keane: is there a second? >> second. >> chair keane: i agree completely with commissioner

created here one of the most outstanding achievements of eighteenth century city planning in a mere five years they put together a unique ensemble of architecture out and landscape design. the man to whom no c o's these squares was stanislav. opponent king who was destined by the strangest turn of fate to become duke of lorraine he had to flee from poland in seven hundred thirty five disguised as a peasant and with the russian army at his heels after the walls of succession had cost him the polish throne. he was penniless and defenseless a king without a country but happily he had had the foresight to marry his daughter marie to the king of france with the help of his father and no he secured the duchy of lorraine but at a high price hughie the fifteenth restricted the responsibilities of the new duke to outward representation and the patronage of the odds. it was also made clear that the reign of the skis over the rain was to end with his death. when stanislav entered his capital for the first time he found a divided city an old under new nazi separated by a moat and wolves he looked for a way of joining the two halves

unique. the new york city comptroller audited the program's first year. >> people came in expecting to file paperwork then go through a process. and what really happened was people would come in, deliver their documentation, and it would vanish. >> sullivan: is this incompetence? >> it's gross incompetence. >> sullivan: the city had hired outside consulting firms to run the build it back program at a cost of $50 million. >> this is the whole contract. >> sullivan: the auditors discovered why so many homeowners were frustrated. the people that were on the front lines helping victims, were they qualified to do this work? >> many were not. >> sullivan: what did you find? how do you know? >> we just found that the résumés did not match the job. >> sullivan: let's see. case workers were supposed to have a degree in social work, or experience in the field. but a review of the résumés showed that most had no social service experience at all. some were cashiers at walmart, staples, and rite aid. >> think about how outrageous it is that we were paying these huge consulting companies hundreds of thousands of d

is unique in how it has handled this gentrification compared to other cities? don't know if washington, d.c. is unique in how they've handled gentrification, but they are unique in that the magnitude and intensity of gentrification is pretty incredible. in the '90s, only 5% of the housing track gentrified in washington d.c. in 2000, over 52% did. if you look at the most gentrified places since 2000 in the united states in the top 50 cities, portland, oregon, is number one. d.c. is number two. so there's been a tremendous amount of redevelopment that has happened here, and i think that's in part what makes d.c. very unique. >> what do you hope people take away from reading your book? >> i hope that they realize, you know, we don't want to replicate the old urban renewal, and in the 1940s and '50s, we just displaced. in the '90s, 2000s, 2010s, i hope we sort of look at preventing residential displacement but also moving beyond housing and doing things that will actually better the lives of low income people. just -- we made the assumption in the '90s and 2000s if
