there will be 27 one bedroom units, 21 two-bedroom units, 12 three bedroom units, totaling 59 units for low-income families and one manager's unit. the average bedroom size for one bedrooms is 6 16 square feet and for three bedroom is 1,176 square feet. development of parking, 45 parking spaces to be specific, including one car share space. this information was presented to you in much detail as part of last october's schematic design approval. the baker architect walked the commissioner and the audience through the entire design which was developed with input from the community. if you recall we had a community [speaker not understood] leading up to the final design. as a reminder i want to show a couple of elevations. this image shows the view from fidel street. [speaker not understood] the outward facing side to the existing neighborhood. and you can see the main building entrance and the building's landmark elements called the lantern and it's a cork and steel tower. it will be one of the highest points for parcel a and from the common area balcony the top floor residents will have

i love the united kingdom and all it stands for. i will fight with everything i have to keep us together. and so i want to be clear to everyone listening, there can be no complacency about the results of this referendum. the outcome is still up in the air and we have just seven months to go. seven months to do all we can to keep the united kingdom as one. seven months to save the most extraordinary country in history and we must do whatever it takes so to everyone in england, wales and northern ireland, everyone like me who cares about the united kingdom want to say this. you don't have a vote but you do have a voice. those voting are our friends, our neighbors and her family. you do have an influence. so get on the phone, get together e-mail tweet and speak. the let the message rang out from manchester to motherwell from pembrokeshire to perth from belfast to ute from us to the people of scotland. let the message be this, we want you to stay. think of what we have done together, what we can do together, what we stand for together.

and these are dwelling units that were added on to existing housing by converting attic and basements and garages and into new spaces for living. and but, of course, they don't have the required permit and they were not build with city approval. the illegal status have had an impact, and the tenants may not have leases or understand their basic protections and that the units may lack the necessary life safety standards set by the building code and despite earning income from the units the owners also face the potential of losing the unit through enforcement as dbi staff can tell you more about, and i am sure that you know very well, and also, being subject to penalties and possibly even lawsuits. we know that they are vital for our city and we don't have official tracking we know from door-to-door survey, we know that last year, that these units are occupied by families with children, and senior and immigrant and very low and extremely low income households that pay about 1250 in monthly rent to 2 bedroom inlaw unit and compared to an over all median rent in the city of nearly 3500 do

front under the leadership they had germany of the united states first to do war against the socialist bloc countries but now to sort of ring colonize those countries that have become independent so the nature of the conflict has shifted fundamentally since world war one which doesn't mean it's a stable world ok david in london we we have the one a lot of historians will say that you know the germany of the first part of the twentieth century the equivalent in our century now is china a rising power because germany was the rising power in the first part of the twentieth century and that's why i go back to the instability of the international system it wasn't prepared for germany how about the rise of china and the decline of the united states. i think that misreads the situation in one nine hundred fourteen. what we need to understand about nine hundred fourteen is that we may look back and see germany as a rising. but the german leaders in one nine hundred forty felt themselves to be extremely vulnerable and they thought that the problems i was moving rapidly against them particularly

and so, so fannie mae and fha have different products for two unit properties and one unit properties that present a big advantage in terms of refinancing. and it also, opens up the possibility to those property owners operating in the section 8 certificate program and which is also, looking for property owners to participate because there is a shortage of housing in the city and that i think this is really great from the public policy perspective and i wonder what they are going to do to get the people to buy into it and particularly since this is only step one, and i think that there should be a step two. >> and it is involved in this process to do an extensive out reach plan and so i don't have a plan before me to share with you today and that is our intention to do so, and we want the home owners and the property owners to take advantage of this program. , and the last question was about, so after the out reach, you were asking about, financing, and so we have already begun the conversations with the mayor's office of housing for the loan products that would be specifically katere

transgender people has been on the increase in many of the western countries in particular in the united states in two thousand and twelve i believe it was at the highest level since one thousand nine hundred eight yes i mean we we've been making strides forward in some areas and then in some areas of our own country i mean we've been taking steps backwards but i think with the community you know i was able to get married in the state of california the state that i live in many of the states are are are following suit you know justifying that. legislating marriage or you know legislating love and that's all it is is you know is unconstitutional well mr le guen is just to put things into perspective all those legislative progress notwithstanding according to the f.b.i. in two thousand and twelve around thirteen hundred crimes motivated by homophobe ever registered in the united states thirteen hundred crimes in russia in the same period of time just twelve were unregistered so you may dispute the russian figures they were compiled by one of the leading watchdogs here in the country nongov

the population to be united. with that and that what the government is doing is expressing the general will of the population it's trying to tame the common good. and so my argument is is that you have to take those kinds of discussions into account. you have powerful leaders or in the case of sun yet cent of powerful founder of the republic insane. we need to come together is an entire people and express a common will. and so i think. in a more immediate sense that's where these conceptions of the consensus come from there might be some routes to go back into chinese culture but their courtney mediated by these other people. so i am an adsense site night. indian design the cake in the book i'm not convinced that chinese coal to generate swan understanding of democracy is capable of those supporting several different models years. and that they do is go back in time the will of the day your email you a chair and regarded as a pay wall established a scholar on your college market seattle school meal asian politics

you are a great man of the united states of america and you represent the united states of america.a country devoted to freedom and equality. long live the united states. long live france, long live the american friendship. [cheering and applause] ♪ mr. president, this concludes the ceremony. ♪ ♪ [cheering and applause] ♪ [inaudible conversations] later the french president joined president obama for a news conference in the east room of the white house. they answered questions about syria, iran's nuclear program, and relations with the european union. this is an hour. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united and the president of the french republic. please have a seat. good afternoon. [speaking french] t a great honor to welcome my friend and partner back to the white house. it's always a pleasure to host you. at camp david two years ago, i was trying to make this summit casual, and he in true french style showed up in a necktie. we tried to get him take it off. when i hosted him in chicago i thought he would try some of the local cuisine, a chicago-style hot dog. i'm not

there are many units that do not come to you. if the building is more than 2 units. that will come to you as a mandatory discretionary review. finally on task 3 the both departments will review notices from the rent board for purposes of elimination of units or evictions. the request from the mayor is that the the department of building inspection will review these project and buildings for any building code violations. there are some issues to work out in terms of the notices and such. the first step will be for the rent board to give notice to both the planning department and to dbi when those evictions happen. that's a quick summary. i probably can answer simple questions but we are happy to get a calendar hearing for a more robust question on this. >> commissioner moore? commissioner dr. roscoe -- moore? >> people have ideas. we don't want to have backseat quarterbacking. i think it can be very timing. >> we can schedule something as early as next week if we wanted to. >> if the commission would like, we can certainly at it to the department matter for the agenda

unit we don't want to lose 10 thousand unit so we're pay attention to the current housing stock that'sgood fortune to work with she and others have pushed forward another policy reflective in those instructions that development and developers who want to bring forward units that might not have been legal in the past will get priority treatment and as we look at each development we at one point make sure that the developers are not decreasing the number of units in the development process so to give a good you holistic look at all developments to make sure we prevent the housing stock and allow the developers to legal lists and a make more legal those units that might have been in the studios and not permit developers to suggest oh, because i have tenants in unit that might not have been legal we can get rid of them we're saying the oppose to preserve the housing stock we're not going to getting let you decrease the housing stock in the city. those are some of the major highlights i'm embarrassing and all the head agencies from dbi to disability to the rent board to the fire department

this is a deal that was signed along with russia, the united states, the united kingdom when the ukrainianse up voluntarily their nuclear arsenal. and they've got a guarantee of independence and territorial integrity. clearly president putin is trying to send a loud and clear message that they want to be able to still have influence. this is probably a disaster in their view because they are losing -- you just mentioned georgia, but look at the ukraine right now. what they believe to be losing influence in what they call their near abroad, their god-given right for, you know, to have sort of not just russia but all the former soviet republics within their sphere of influence. and what you can see is the majority of the people in ukraine and other such places actually see their future in pro-europe and much more westernized, much more independent, much more politically free kind of society than what russia is able to deliver right now. so these things are incredibly important of maximum importance at this time right now and the united states has a huge amount of leverage, so does europe and

refurbishment unit and then the rest of the unit with expectation of the manager's unit are tax unit. there's no subsidy so people from non-bayview residents have the opportunity to move in there's income restrictions below 50 periods of time a martin luthern king jr.'s i pits all one hundred periods of time affordable. i think it's important >> we need to provide people with the information about how to clarify i wouldn't want people not to apply. making sure the information is clear if you were a former resident you can come back. so scombrern i do have an issue with the credit stuff some days but that's not something to deal with today. i think the project the design is interesting. i think there are two architects involved is great. there's a lot of creative things that have bun done i like the outdoor stairs and the other reconnection to 9 streets. and this is what too many of the housing unit in the past had suffered from. i personally think the various of the different stooich styles and the designs that are similar throughout the project is good. from a standpoint of design t

our main oil buyer but also we import from the united states the most of our of our. of our necessities that we have to import it's our main importing market so it's a paradox that our level of economic relationship does not correspond to the political relationship again the united states first they lack a policy towards latin america that is that is widely recognized by all the the u.s. intelligentsia so to speak. and towards one is whether the only policy the us have has is regime change nothing besides that although we've tried in the past to try to restaff wish through agents with the united states to bring it to a new level of of dialogue of mutual comprehension to work together towards a problem problems that has not been possible the only policy that the us has towards venezuela in its vacuum of policy towards right america is regime change and that we do not accept we demand for the united states from the united states to respect our sovereignty we are determined to be independent and sovereign there is no more we will not accept any more us intervention in ou

imperial germany and the united states i think is much more apparent because i think that germany in one nine hundred fourteen did believe that it was now a power in decline and that russia was becoming increasingly powerful france was also much stronger than it had been when it easily defeated in one hundred seventy in the franco-prussian war and there germany had to do something in order to change the balance of forces and that's why it came up with this idea that if only austria hungary could knock out serbia than austria hungary will be will be thriving power and then that would somehow. reinforce germany's role in the europe and i think what we get having here now is i think the united states is increasingly anxious that this unilateral moment is the enjoyed since the end of the cold war is china is certainly are the a rising power. russia is also you know reemerging from its. weakness and feebleness in the post cold war era and i think there are that's where i think the danger lies in with the united states believing that it needs to do something to shift the balance of forces

russia is not always an easy partner for the united states just as the united states is not an easy partnerfor russia but we have to work together. we are fated to work together and we have seen at this year where there were plenty of reasons why the relationship deteriorated. in the end we are working together and we will continue to work together and those in the u.s. political class who say that russia doesn't count anymore and that it's not important, they are flat wrong. it has to be a partner even though as i say in my book it's a -- partnership. >> host: in your book you make clear that there are two kinds of leaders. first there are what i would say structural leaders because of different interests, because of different historical traditions, because of different circumstances. there are also limits which are connected to u.s. policy. to russian policy. can we do better than we are doing now? >> guest: first on the structural limits i would emphasize that the fact that we are the worlds to superpowers means in some ways we are still living in the cold wartime warp and the focus very

collaboration between france and the united states of america.e also act in the middle east, and i welcome the american initiative to resume negotiations, the framework of agreement needs to be signed now in france and europe will certainly give their support to that two-state solution. we are also extremely attentive to what happens in lebanon. lebanon is a country with which france has historic ties. there again, france and the united states stands side by side in order to help this country resist this massive inflow of refugees with risks of clashes that are ubiquitous and this risk of return to state of war that is a reality, so we need to support lebanon and make sure it is supported in its humanity and integrity. we also helped jordan receive refugees. so on all international issues, we have convergent views and stand united, not that we ever debate or partly disagree. we always respect each other's sovereignty. that is a fundamental principle in our relation. we also on the economic front. america experiences a recovery in its growth due t

that trap i think is now caught it's quarry, the united states. what this deal has done and what we've seen play out in geneva is the assad government, made him an indispensable partner to the west by getting rid of the chemical stock pile and only 11% of those chemical stock piles have been removed from the country and even the agency responsible for the removal is casting about with dire predictions about whether or not a june 2014 deadline can be met. the russian government has categorically rejected a draft resolution which would authorize humanitarian corridors in the country to a greater scale than what we've seen in homes. any sanctions or any punitive measures enacted at the security council is a pretext for invasion by the west. russia is in a very powerful position. iran is in a powerful position, and bashar al-assad believes he'll never be forced from power and i'm afraid, increasingly he's more right. >> a very powerful position but so powerful there is no limit to what he could do where we start to have a diplomatic cost to russia? >>

and people living in such units already and how do they maintain the system? >> do they use the system or opening the window all of the time? if they are not using it, there height be a good reason and maybe we should not expand this. >> and in most cases, they have to use this. >> and yeah. >> and that is another part of it. >> the home owner's association the electric bill. >> and the carbon footprint. obviously the units are going to be on 24 hours a day. what is happening to our carbon footprint? are we raising that? if so, isn't that contrary to what our green building legislation is all about? >> i have often said that we have this thing about saving the planet or the people. and they often times are in conflict with each other. >> commissioner mar? >> this was raised not only for the single family units but i am concerned with the smaller property owners, because, there are a lot of older you know, 3, 4, 5, unit affordable housing places and in the whole blue map area that you have, the mission, and... >> the building. >> not even, but we are talking ab

fan ofs no bigger the united states air force and navy than the united states army. what distinguishes it from the relatively affluent media? technology gives you a greater advantage. you typically have a small number of targets that you can identify and engage and established the domains. what is different is incident a bounded number of targets, on land you have tens of thousands of targets, all of which are trying to be classified as such. you can recognize counter measures that are land-based. there are two ways to fight the united states military brother. what is important is for us to d joint forcee to jewel war capability. that is what combined arms capability is. our enemies will take action to avoid our strengths. there's never been a silver bullets. there are always countermeasures developed. he talked about some that are developing now. we had on our strength capability. that is under threat by not just traditional countermeasures that increasingly technological. for us to have an effective capability to prevent and when as the nation, we need a balance jo

and i think the united states and pushing. democratization has to be given the little the credits were ok then given all these factors together. the wheelbase home what you are you'll continue to research and feel finding about the bill collins democratic transition. were you surprised or are you happy though with the democratic achievements and talents today. in my life is a democracy become established died. ii started coming here. in two thousand and two two thousand twenty thousand t of andorra still will but in the stalls you for the old waste cos of me in too many politicians are fighting there's not enough agreement and now pretty much everybody except democracy and the value they don't necessarily accept all of the formal procedures. you see people going outside to proceed years of demonstrating of mobilizing followers to go out and put pressure on the legislature which. in some ways is a good thing because it shows that people are committed and that there were and are trying to create various ways of holding officials

there are two proposed pipe lanes to the united states.coast proposed and the two east coast. and -- >> are the canadian people fighting the with unto the west coast? >> there is always -- if you have a transmission line -- >> yeah. >> if you have a pipeline, if off pipeline with carbon dioxide from north dakota to be sequestered in saskatchewan, i guarantee you will have people that disagree. we can't sometimes get clean energy on a transmission line. >> will it be refined better in the gulf than it would be in china? >> well, there's higher standards in the united states than china. >> if the president says no, what does that do to diplomatic relations? >> if the president says no, he is saying yes to higher greenhouse gases because the oil is coming down, whether anybody likes it not, on rail, does not require his presidential permit. so the choice for john kerry and the president is do you want the oil coming through the united states and through canada on rail or do you want it on pipe lines? >> i have to ask you -- >> lower cost, low

states has made and the president of the united states has made is that is not in the united states' interest. we are very much committed to trying to work to resolve this conflict, but in a way that doesn't insert the united states back into a hot, bloody conflict in the middle of the middle east. >> this is a complicated time for the world, as you know better than anybody. if you think about democratic ferment around the globe, you think about american retrenchment from afghanistan and iraq, sectarian division in syria and iraq. there's been some criticism of president obama about just what his view of the world is in his foreign policy. he wrote this in "audacity of hope." he wrote, "without a well articulated strategy that the public supports and the world understands, america will lack the legitimacy and ultimately the power it needs to make the world safer than it is today." what is that view of the world that president obama has that he seeks legitimacy for? >> president obama views the united states as the leading and most important global power because of the power of our ec

second factor and i think very importantly overlook and we overlooked it in baker verses united united states, common law united states, common law. common law comes out of germany, spreads to england somewhat disappears in germany and nearly disappears and england and get to america. common law is the notion that law is put in the heart of the people and it bubbles up and they elect leaders to enforce the law that they already know. the divine right of kings later entrance to the civil law in france as god gives the leader of the law and he is going to tell everybody else what to do with it. over time thanks to napoleon in large part civil law spreads over much of the civilized world certainly throughout the middle east and parts of asia even and today i can't think of another common law country that's out there aside from the united states and britain if you still want to include england and not. the third factor is a free-market economy and i think we all agree the united states ready much has had a capitalistic free market economy but the fourth factor is not exactly the same thing

so that more mexican students can study in the united states and reciprocally, students from the unitedtates can come to mexico to study. the number of students so far is somehow low considering a potential that we have. out of the 14,000 students, we have set a goal. that is to increase year by year this figure, and reach 100,000 students a year that visit the united states and 50,000 students from the u.s. coming to mexico. we have revised our security agenda and we have agreed to maintain a strategic dialogue to coordinate efforts so we can face a common issue, security in both of our countries and specifically, security at the border. on the other hand, i would like to refer to the outcome of the north american leaders' summit. i would like to share with you the highlights in terms of the agreements reached. we have worked on four main topics. the first one is to foster shared and inclusive prosperity. we have agreed to work on a plan to boost competitiveness. we also have agreed to work on a north america transport plan. that would give us better infrastructure in our three countri

the united states stays on the case. this president, our president obama, has said that we do what will it takes to bring the perpetrators to justice. and indeed, we will. >> finally, i just want to on a final point about ukraine and what you will be monitoring and watching for today and in the days to come. >> well, most importantly, david, we want to obviously see a deescalation of the violence. for the last few days, things have been much more peaceful. that is welcome and something we want to see sustained. the parliament is actively involved now in choosinging this transitional government, setting the date for elections, and appointing acting heads of ministries. we want to shore that up and very importantly, we want to the cooperate with partners in europe, the imf, the russians if they're prepared to participate, to help the ukrainian economy which is very, very fragile. need to reform and they need financing. and that will be very much a part of our shared efforts. >> do you think the united states has a big fina

the united states actually with the exception of ilia mob of another separatist leader who is the united states we have not really given asylum to that many chechens except for an of course we come back to the boston bombings earlier this year at some formerly lower profile people but it hasn't been such an issue with united states. >> host: litvinenko is an unsolved mystery. you talk in your book about opportunities and the need for partnership. one thing you mention is of course terrorism. when i was thinking about terrorism, i was thinking about about -- in u.s. history. one of september 11 and as you know at that time before september 11, the russian government, putin was not yet president were proposing the u.s. government close the cooperation against al qaeda and taliban. it was to miss by the clinton administration because we viewed russia as an imperial power in central asia. it looked almost like a treaty. russia was talking about cooperation against al qaeda and the taliban but in fact wanted the american blessing. i have no idea what would happen if putin was taken seriously.

a mix of dwelling units. in this case they saw the to provide two bedrooms and they are providing more two bedrooms than are required under the code so they could reduce the size of some of the units on the top floor and still be code compliant with terms of unit mix. it's dependent on how much of a setback would be proposed. >> thank you. mr. duffy, anything? the matter is submitted. >> public comment? can i see a show of hands of people that would like to speak on this item. if you can lineup on the far wall. if you haven't filled out a speaker card, that would help us in the preparation of minutes. the president lazarus you indicated the number of minutes you would like? two 2 minutes and the basis for that is the size of the crowd and what is before the board this evening? >> yes. >> okay. you have 2 minutes. >> i'm cho a. i'm a neighbor. i want to let you know that there are a lot of us who live in the valencia corridor who really do feel like projects like this are necessary. i absolutely love the marsh
