the ground floor is a unit. the main and the top floors a unit. you would be gutting this quite intact historical -- that has not been used as a four unit building. i don't know if ever. based on what you look at in the home. given all that, i think what tips it to me is, the city gave bad information. it says four units on the 3r report. there was a notice of violation on the issue. it was determined it was not a violation. these folks blocked the property with the understanding that this was a single family -- two unit building. i think after all this and seeing the uncomfortable approving of the merger, i don't think we are losing anything. this is what it has been for decades. we would be forcing them to convert this to something it is not. i am disapproving the motion -- i disapprove. gives me a right to approve... >> i support what the commissioner hill said and it may be stretching things a bit with some notice of special restriction that the interior will not be altered. there is a prohibition on that. it is the issue. if it becomes a stuc

commissioner koppel your idea to flip it say good one but it leads to units on the ground unit that will never work. and it's daunting to the next door building. one question i want to ask is to the architect, can you come up for a minute and put up -- if you give me a level 7 or 6 floor plan if there's one on the overhead. >> commissioner: so the two-bedroom unit in the middle, just kind of a simple question which you'll tell me why it's wrong probably but say you took three of those units out from the top three floors and had a notch in this building that allowed some light and air to get through. it's a significant amount for the courtyard at bay crest, why isn't that feasible? >> that will essentially at the moment you can see a staircase on this side and this side and one elevator bank so national nationally -- essentially one vertical core. as soon as you take a piece out unless the core connects you'd be forcing an addition staircase and potentially an addition elevator. you're creating a two-tower scheme but on the top floor. >> commissioner: so might as well put an elevator on t

no two nations enjoy a stronger bond than that of the united states and the united kingdom. ours is truly a special relationship. when our friends in great britain face a challenge, the united states will always be there for them. always. alone, russia's crime is worthy of this council's action, but this is not an isolated incident. at assassination attempt in salisbury is part of an alarming increase in the use of chemical weapons. last year the north korean regime used the nerve agent vx to publicly assassinate kim jong-un's brother in a malaysian airport. in syria, the assad regime continues to kill its own people with chemical weapons years after this council passed resolution 2118 to remove the threat from syria's chemical weapons program. when the security council created a mechanism so investigate the attacks, that mechanism was targeted when they began to shine a spotlight in arc sad's role in killing his own people. a growing concern in all of this dangerous and destabilizing activity is russia. russia failed to ensure syria destroyed its chemical weapons program. r

and 2500 unit. we are in between. but any ways, the garage doesn't work. the angle of the garage is to steep that the second car actually has to park on the incline ramp, and that is -- and on this, that is a conscious decision that really doesn't work. that is not a workable garage. the -- when you look at the section drawing and look at the dimensions, there is a little problem there, but the biggest one is really the fact that the opening has to be a shaft all the way open to the sky in order to allow access to light and air and exiting for the lowest unit. are you aware of that? mr. washington, do you see that in drawing a-103, the right hand drawing indicates that there is a 48-inch railing and a sky light on top? what needs to be, basically, a fully enclosed shaft? that may, indeed, cause the architect to reconsider it where the stair is, where the light well is, or how to bring light and air to the lower unit. i'm pointing that out because it makes a plan as it stands not a workable plan. >>

welcome to crossfire where all things considered i'm peter lavelle fifteen years ago this month the united states and its so-called coalition of the willing illegally invaded in occupied iraq american troops remain there to this day and iraq continues to grapple with that fateful decision many call the invasion of iraq a blunder shouldn't we call it what it really is a crime. cross talking about fifteen years on i'm joined by my guest ken o'keefe in calgary he is a political analyst and an ex u.s. marine who renounced us citizenship in washington we have chris turney why he is a former army military police sergeant iraq war veteran and contributor to the hill and into iran we have mohammad marandi he's an associate professor at the university of toronto writes of the crosstalk rules in effect that means he can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate before we get started here i'd like to refresh everybody's memory of what happened fifteen years ago preceding the war and also because the mainstream media is largely ignoring this fifteen year. because it's certainly not an anniversary h

ambassador to the united nations and kaylie speaking at the u.n. security council in new york effectively saying that the u.s. is presenting a new u.n. draft resolution on a syria ceasefire kristen salumi will tell us more about when the q. haley had to say on the draft resolution kristen. well yes a threat coming from the united states directed at the syrian regime and some strong words for russia the united states saying that clearly the resolution twenty four a one passed fifteen days ago has not been implemented she faulted russia for continuing to bomb areas of eastern ghouta for the first four days sometimes twenty times a day after that resolution was passed she said that there had been ongoing allegations of chlorine gas attacks in that time and went on to say that if the united nations security council didn't back up the resolution then it would come down to the united states to act and she referred to an air strike that u.s. forces made on an air base in retaliation for a chemical attack in concert croon as an example of the united states

the housing units are inclusionary units. one of the projects that we heard a lot about from the community is a new senior housing project that we are proposing. we feel very good about this. this is a project that took 105 inclusionary units and wrapped them into a project that's now going to be available for those that have 60% or less of the area median income, and it's exclusively for seniors. that is what we think is important. we think we need more projects like this in the area. the area that's providing the senior housing is wrapped by retail development and market rate housing, so it is currently proposed in an area called oh, for lack of a better word, perhaps the infield. it's the infield of the candlestick point -- infield of the candlestick point retail center and development. and we purposely wanted it cited there because this allows access to retail services and other access to transit. it's right there. it also includes market rate housing so there's no isolation but rather a nice integration of development, o

the only two no votes were the united states and israel.plause] ambassador haley: but i always say, quality is more than quantity. [laughter] ambassador haley: shortly after the 2016 election, president-elect donald trump called me to talk to me about serving in his administration. we had a meeting at trump tower and we had good discussions about a variety of issues. long story short, his team called me a couple of days later and said he would like me to serve as ambassador to the united nations. [applause] ambassador haley: i said, i'm a governor, i don't know anything about the united nations. we went back and forth on a few things. the clincher was when i told the the president,- you know, i will not be a wallflower or a talking head. i have to be able to say what i think. [applause] ambassador haley: without any hesitation, president trump said, that's exactly why i want you to do this. [applause] ambassador haley: president trump has been true to his word, and i think i have, too. [applause] ambassador haley: some of you might have see

proposed units. this is the north market area. we want to have -- there could be more affordable housing put on the site and one bedroom is 505 square feet and the units are smaller than that and that's very cramped. my place is 500 and it's a one bedroom. they're bigger units. and mine is a 100-year-old building. so i do support the design. this is the first time i've actually come to a meeting and seen a design i really like because most of them i don't feel are the character of the neighborhood. so that's a kudos for the architect to build something that kind of sits into the neighborhood versus doesn't look like -- looks like it was just dropped in and why's it there. thank you for your time. >> commissioner: thank you. any additional public comment? >> i'm mary anne sullivan. i live at 155 hyde street. i'm in full support of the project because they did extensive outreach to try to inform everybody in my building at least. and they offered a meeting at the site and i was not many people came. i'

the united states interest, and i think some do, if you think that the united states right now for our own interests should be involved in the civil war in yemen being led by saudi arabia, then members of the united states senate should have the courage to vote for u.s.n participation in that war. nothing more complicated than that you want to come to the floor of the senate, take the case why you think it is good public policy for us to be involved in that civil war in yemen, come to the floor and oppose our resolution. but what i hope very much that we will not see today is the tabling of this motion, and the refusal by members of the senate to vote up or down as to whether or not we wish to continue aiding saudi arabia in this humanitarian disaster. if you believe, as i do, that we should not get sucked into the civil w war, which is already caused so much human suffering, please vote against tabling the motion to discharge, and vote with us on final passage. if you believe that the united states should continue to assist saudi arabia in this war, i urge you to have the courage to t

intention of the united states government is. bellatrix still there are some that we are ahead about. less than one are igor soldo to his means that some. yes a lot of. it is where it was done a drama that ministration it's up salute to clear though that right now i think it's remarks differ and as such on changes in american educated dogs american paul and foreign policy in syria and the name in the middle is ice in caracas will react. different in different way at what's reacted in during the shah of iran. they are azhar why because and you know using arguments. for chemical weapons using and so on it doesn't work today and your time. position will go will be on the. depression syrian army we hear about violation of international law abiding chemical attacks and so on now it doesn't work i think that different situation we are facing today and i think all sides should calm and this situation from. a current events not that that was previously the way you talk about it in good current events with all my respect with so much as o

in the united states, people did not realize it until recently. in my view, chinese fellows associations got some extra dollars, i think that the chinese united front activity in american, australian and taiwan and japanese universities are much bigger than they were a few years ago and much bigger than we thought but not as dramatic as what we were saying, in the united states we have to be careful because of civil liberties but we need to be aware. my view is that universities should be aware of it and police themselves. the united states, the university of gorgetown, there is very little japanese press out there but the same thing is happening in japan, there have been problems with chinese professors in japanese universities had gone home for break and had their families had pressure. there is a lot of pressure on japanese universities. i think that its one of those issues where we should be comparing notes, i do not think that we should overreact. i like to have students from chiern, they are dynamic and interested -- china, they are dynamic

they taught us to love our country, the united states of america.plause] and, they taught us that above all else, no matter our situation, we must always work to make the world a better place.

exports to the united states. ok well let's get the thoughts now i think to gary he's director of the china national association of international studies and he's here with us good afternoon to you victor thanks for coming on to r.t. firstly what sir your reaction then to the announcement of these terrorists i think the tariffs to be in polls by the united states all these exporters of steel aluminum products to the united states are the wrong sanctions are the wrong thing for the united states to do and it's very counterproductive and it will arouse retaliation by the power which these terrorists will be imposed and china will also react to these. protectionist measures by the united states and we urge the u.s. government to do the right thing to protect trade free trade and to avoid using these trade the protectionist measures against trading partners in the world china has said it will retaliate what sort of retaliation would you expect. it really depends on what the united states will do china has been working

and the issue that we are dealing with right now is whether or not the united states senate and the united states congress accepts its constitutional responsibility on the issues of war. and this is not a complicated issue. and i don't think anybody here disagrees. article 1, section 8, of the constitution says not that the president can make war and send our young people into harm's way. it is the congress of the united states that should make war, and our role now in yemen, working with the saudi-led intervention there, is one of hostilities under the law of the united states and the war powers resolution. not just my view on this. as many may know here, as the suspect the chairman of the committee knows, last november by a vote of 366-30, the u.s. house of representatives agreed with the essence of what senator lee and i are trying to do. and the house passed a nonbinding resolution stating that u.s. involvement in the yemen civil war is unauthorized. every member of the democratic leadership voted for that, as did the republican chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, ed royce

he was disappointed in the balboa units because it was only going to have 1,000 units, not 1500 units. when i said there was community input, he said that amounted to segregation, so this is the kind of ideology that is behind some of the yimby chatter. but let me just make a few points. i think wiener's legislation took a lot of vicious antidemocratic people to create it. i think wiener's 827 legislation is so eager to kill local planning and license widespread displacement of both apartment house dwellers as well as apartment owners in rh-1 and rh-2 zones that it sets transit rich as much as possible, namely, four bus stops an hour during major commute time, which there's nothing lower or lesser than that. and 827 doesn't mandate housing in with large employers where there's sparse transit. finally, it will dramatically increase profitablity of land and following approval increase land use speculations, so i urge you to do everything you can to change this and reject it. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. misse miss hester. >> sue hester. i will go back to 1979 to 19 # wi# -

permit for two new units. thirdly, appellant's complain about the prior seismic retrofit work are irrelevant to the a.d.u. unit and does not comprise the integrity of the seismic work. we stand by the permits that were approved. the last point is the allegation that the physical dimension of the proposed a.d.u.s do not comply with the planning code. appellant claims that the a.d.u. unlawfully authorizes an expansion of the 330 presidio building. appellant is correct that in some -- that some areas of the first floor under the second floor will be filled in as part of the a.d.u. construction, but that is explicitly authorized by section 207. it states, quote, an accessory dwelling unit shall be constructed entirely within the built envelope of the existing building. for purposes of this provision, the built inve lope will appear under the cantilevered room or a room built on columns. that is the situation here with a small area of the ground floor with a cantilevered room or a room built on columns over it. the

states and with united states that had imposed some very very strict condition without the united states and with united states that had imposed some very very strict conditions particularly on the pharmaceutical industry while the patients that were made precisely where enabled because the united states left they had. asked for certain conditions that. did not accommodate fully some countries chile was ok because in the bilateral agreement with the united states we had a lot of the elements that were new for other countries. won't give names for example there were countries i had zero protection for. the data for biological from a suitable products and they had to increase to five children i already had five years of protection for that data in their agreement with the united states so eliminating that evidently cost less political pressure in the countries when we removed about twenty. norms in the original to b.p. that. the united states had particularly pushed for but we have to do just said a a very quick rearrangement. which was an easy it took a lot of political will. because. not

of killing the ex a spy scree paul to united to the united ranks of western powers but i would like to ask a question to my from from from from my colleague sad judge judge just small question what do you think how russia will be dealing with the western countries in the future it is a fight all these sanctions this bite all this pressure and everything mr benny you have thirty seconds to respond to that question i hope that mr putin's government will decide to deal with the west in a responsible and co-operative menno eventually as i said it's not in the west's interest to have a confrontation with russia nobody gains from from that in the in the west the russian regime right now is a major nuisance but it's not a competitive economics threat and we hope that we come back to a relationship that is responsible and operative but that presupposes corporative and responsible behavior on the part of the kremlin mr baer thank you very much for that as thorsten bennett joining us from berlin that a masonic hall at moscow and a grand band of men and washington d.c. and thank you too for wa

the united states was spending enormous sons but the united states said that it was impossible to sleep with the financing those reparations because they are not even close to self-sustaining. but there was a much deeper fundamental conflict between the united states and sovie the sovt union when it came to germany andma that is neither the united states or soviet union could count against an ally of the other. it was threatening to both parties fundamental national interest. in mid april after meeting with stalin, george marshall flies home and thinks a famous radio address in whichan he announces the patient is seeking while the doctors did a great and we will not wait any longer. that is the cooperative arrangement that we made with the soviet union at 1945 where an end the soviets had undermined a of them and they've committed economically but they were not doing anything of the sort so they said that it was at an end. while they were in moscow, the president was delivering his famous doctrine speech into things that were worth highlighting about the speech, he famously pledges to t

there's saying that they would have built 51 units. and now it's 177 units. i'm not sure how they came to that calculation, but at least it's a starting point. and i feel like -- i also felt like this study was done in secrecy. we kept asking where it was, if we could get a copy. we were told, by the end of january. and then we kept asking for it. i think on friday, we were expecting it. it was supposed to be part of the agenda packet and didn't get to us until monday afternoon. i'm sorry that president hillis isn't here. on monday night, affordable divis hosted with -- sorry, the neighborhood association hosted a meeting at the independent for the community to hear about the 400 divisadero proposal and commissioner hillis came to that presentation and he found me afterwards and found me afterwards and asked me what i thought about the feasibility study that had come out 6 hours before. i was at work and i had this meeting to run that i organized, so i had no time to look at it, except to see that fillmore was lacking feasibility, miraculously, which doesn't

>> i talked with countries that are allies of the united states, they want to be allies of the unitedtates but they -- they use a lot of drones, a lot of credit to these stations, very attractive, they don't have those resources to build roads, build facilities but it is a designed purpose and that is a threat to the future of america's influence around the world. >> the statement that was made, the opening statement by our president back when kim jong un made threatening statements about his nuclear button and people were critical of our president that he was saying something that came from the heart and was the reality in terms of power he spread to the united states and it worked. a matter of hours after that they contacted south korea and that we are going to join you in the winter olympics and watch the effect it had on people. i agree when you say hope springs eternal. no reason to believe kim jong un is going to be a changed person. but the news last night that he made a response to the message that was sent and is ready to negotiate, stop his nuclear activity and testing, do y

top of each other. >> this is one unit, one huge unit with 20 windows. they're saying we're blocking this window and this window, which are in a kitchen, which if -- you know, if i was remodelling this house -- i'm an architect, it's like i would provide a light well or do something, but we're talking about these two windows. i don't -- i don't know how to do this. >> commissioner moore: could you zoom out a little bit, please. >> okay. >> commissioner moore: more, more, more. >> it's one room here, these two windows, right? those are the two out of 20. so, you know, it's a big apartment. they chose to remodel it this way: three bedrooms, 20 windows. that's all i was going to say. okay? thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. >> if i may add one comment. >> president hillis: no, i think that was the question. commissioner richards, or commissioner moore, do you have any other comments. >> commissioner moore: no. i was going to ask, this is not part of the d.r. on the roof, there's a built in barbecue on the property line. i think it doesn't work. it's

david: south korea and the united states are going directly into north korea.he role of china in the discussions? china has been: a key ally with the united states in imposing sanctions on north korea. china has gone along with all the other united states resolutions, imposing sanctions and penalties on north korea. sometimes china does not comply. by and large, they have reduced their aid to north korea. china will be a key player and in what everle negotiations produce. one of the key concerns that north korea has -- is the united states going to invade, along with south korea and north korea, if they were to give up their nuclear weapons? from chinauarantees and possibly russia in protecting and defending north korea were toh ever disarm nuclear weapons. insistedm jong-un has on the security of north korea. if there was a deal to be made on china, what would be the guarantees? professor locke: it is so important negotiations -- there are so many issues that have to be resolved. it will require the participation of japan, south korea, russia, china, north kor

in the united states and he promised two things first he wanted to make sure that the government the iranian government that was put in place during the islamic revolution doesn't reach its fortieth birthday birthday and also he promised them that we will celebrate two thousand and nineteen meaning him and these terrorists in tehran which you know like some kind of. this is this pattern of regime change i still have said it so many times so many years it's the genic genetic code of american foreign policy doesn't matter who's in office but with bolton you get it he doesn't hold any punches here picture you know united states is already chosen decided who will be ruling iran by the end of next year. amazing bolton's expectations are mildly of a piece from robert gates' memoirs where he talks about having one victory parade on the red square in one thousand nine hundred one. not about to come to. the national security adviser to the un which was. likely just a few years ago but iraq government is going to be chosen by iran's people just like before and not by the hawks in washington d.

that the united states has to come out with all the chips. what is the reality?nd are people in the u.s., important people who have to sign off and agreed to these negotiations, going to be, you know, acclimatized to the fact that it's a give and take situation? >> well, this is, i think, the greatest risk here, christiane, which is that the president and his team give this an effort but because they don't get every single thing that they want, that they say is hopeless and really create the prerequisite for war, the pretense of war, and that, i think, is the most dangerous road that we are on. it is not that we should not achieve the objectives that will protect our national security and the national security of our allies and partners. we absolutelshould. and that should be the common ground on which we all work, but between that and an agreement, there are lots of choices that are going to have to be made. and if the president feels that they all have to go the way the united states wants them to go, we probably won't get to an nd ourselves at war.obably will
