not 3 unit in the front building. >> it shows 2 units for the property. >> both in the front correct. >> i guess we're not spitting the ones in the front it shows 2 units in the front of the building. >> all right. and this is the property here at the restore of the lot and that is inside the unit there's a kitchen right there those are the two gas meters associated with the front building having no gas at the rear of the building i had mention there were 3 electrical meters those are the 3 electrical meters one is legally permitted for the service this is the single water service of the building so this one service is supplying 3 unit on the property and this is the electrical water heater mounted on the outside of the rear and . >> so that electric was permitted electric. >> the electrical work for the building was in fact, signed off and . >> it was commercial or - >> it was done on the permit that was labeled dwelling unit back in 2002 era it didn't have plans associated with that and so forth. >> we can see we have the required bathing facil

feel differently about that but the other thing this through whatever process is a legal dwelling unit it does fall under rent control are it does not that's a crucial >> through the chair well, i think that is issue here is whether this has been approved as a legal unit to be lived in i think our director has initially issued the cf oshlgs and seeing there is no approval four a residential unit i feel like the if i look at the declaration of the previous owner since it fell after 19 not under rent control. >> and we don't know the exact date it was a gardening shaky owned it and sold it without permits no permits attached the issue for me this was done without going through the proper channels we don't have the jurisdiction the right, the responsibility to grant approval of something at dbi it is a mr. haney issue so i think regardless of what the agreement has been made i appreciate that total to see the tenant and the landlord have agreed to go forward we can't bypass needing the planning approval for this project so i feel like it didn't matter there of the an agreement the fact is th

that was in 1990 i believe and so we're asking to i guess take out the kitchen in the second unit so that it can be legal does that make sense. >> what was the scope of your original work upgrades on the original unit. >> in the swoop i did remodeling on the second-story to my kitchen and bathroom beacon hill changing the inhabitants and the countertops and changing the van it in the bathroom and changing the tiles i admit i didn't get a permit i don't know. >> so then the tenant or a tenant in the illegal unit foiled a complaint and that led to the discovery of two illegal units. >> yes. so this is where i'm confused have you requested a permit to do this other work to get rid of the unit. >> yes. i have all the necessary approvals to i'm asking for retroactive approval for the bathroom other than the second-story and take out the kitchen and bathroom downstairs. >> so basically, all under one permit you had to deal with our remodeling. >> yes. i'm trying to clear the notice of violation and anything the only thing holding it up i guess is paying for the permit and the fees and the penaltie

fox were there tenants in that space before your owner. >> it looks like a unit that's been used for many, many years i want to point out the front area is now it discuss the bedroom that's separate and apart from the unit where they lived when with you walk in there's a coordinator to the backyard and a separate door it leads into their unit so they're not complexity or near each other either. >> thank you ms. tongue. >> for the presidio all right. so i can clarify what i've previously stated so what the permit holder indicated to me was that there was not sorry there was not currently a legal sorry the architect told her that that was not up to code she said what she meant was bring it up to code not legalize it as a separate unit if the kitchen were demolished or single-family home then in the case the rental room without being a separate dwelling unit would be legal housing that's how it was represented to me based on my client her son lives in a backroom but those rooms are connected to the top that's why i was unaware it was two separates units there's a total lack of connection

it's not wrong to come to the united states to have a child. for a lot of people it doesn't sit well. it's a little distasteful and contributes to stories like this, people that appear to by criminal conduct. so i try to discourage it unless there's a reason of family members of the united states. most people are looking for an escape hatch. lots of countries where there's instability and problems people want to know their kids will have a safe place to go. >> let's make a distinction between someone that sneaks across the border, versus someone that comes with a fesa allowed in in the country. >> if someone from border control says hello ms chang. why are you here i'll coming to have a kid. >> that will be a level of that is lacking when people are doing that. it could lead to a turn around. the boarder inspector could say that you intend to live and work in the united states and that the visa is inval i had. we heard from a federal agent saying it's not illegal to have a child. can you be overt. ois obvious you are in your third trimester, and

your belief indicated two units in the ground floor. >> and the kitchen. >> i've not seen the other unit it is part of the garage that's where the owners two sons live and i've never been in there and i'm not here to recognize that unit should be - >> i'm not asking for that opinion but the - so this kitchen the sole use for their use and the second bedroom that you're referring to the owner is going to rent it out. >> within that unit this is a self-contained unit a smoke alarm and 1230g9 and could you please state your name i stated the unit is legal. >> it appears to be legal. >> so the question is have you looked at the yard to see if there was permitting in regards to the kitchen open the ground level. >> there is no permit history that i saw again, the unit itself is xhfblth with the 3 r report there is 3 units in the building i believe this is one of the 3 original unit and the fourth unit where the sons live is the one that is probably not up to code again, i've never been in there it's appears to be an extension of the garage. >> we'll get clarification from the department. >> okay

he does it in a very somber way. the united states, he says, is entering into a war that is going to cost us. it's going to suffer the loss of life. a -- he himself has a heavy heart. what he hopes is that the war will end in producing a better world. what he hoped privately and said to many, he hoped it would bring the american people together educate them about international issues, and their responsibility towards the war. he was, i would not say a great war leader but i think he understood very clearly what needed to be done at war. he understood the importance of mobilizing the nation for war. the day after he signed a declaration of war, he made a list which he called his program. he said, we need to up the measures for war. we need to increase the size of the army and navy. we need to pass necessary legislation to put the country in a state of preparation and defense for actions. we need -- and this is one of the more controversial things he did -- to control speech. we need to make sure we do not have spies and we do no

the cases to be consulted. >> the legislation from supervisor chiu allowed for the legalization of unit it didn't require that it is something that is available to people and that certainly will be something they can look at here it's a joint process you have to meet the building code requirements as part of legalization process large parts of code were exempted from the process you didn't have to have density exposure, etc. so the building inspection has a bit of a problem in some cases not ceiling clearance or existing requirement but the legislation from supervisor chiu was involuntaryy a path forward. >> so because the legislation we've seen more cases like this of this displacement. >> yeah. just i don't draw but other reasons for an increase in the more of a market issue historically the board of appeals has teen e seen most the removal of illegal permits have been dealt with by the board of appeals and any uptick it could be more off the market rather than the legislation. >> thank you. >> mr. sanchez. >> could you address for me and clarify for me, the issue of lack of notice i und

methods to them or clustering them i mean it's a different existing building as see when you add a unit it is a different. >> right and i think we - i think there is a really philosophical thing that's happened engineers are used to the idea you fix it or not so this is the great thing about the fema document oh, we only want to fix it a little bit that took a long time to get through this now we want to fix it a little bit better on some but i think we can have this discussion. >> they're asking personnel we want them to do it that's an additional factor not only in the ab are the soft story. >> yeah. the engineers he never were you asked ho what if the building had more people than yesterday would you be recommended only working on the ground floor sew that is the ground floor and quite frankly under the assumption there were no residential only commercial. >> right. >> a different scenario. >> i asked my engineers open the subcommittee okay. what's the next step hey you're getting something what do we want they said we're not sure what more to ask for without a full upgrade i want to as

the united states has said it's going to try to cut its emissions by 28% below 2005 levels by 2025. and that's pretty ambitious. the united states is the second greatest emitter of carbon dioxide after china and third place is a long way behind us. so this is a tremendous amounts of cuts that is really going to require doubling our emissions reduction after the year 2020. effort. >> so is using what we were emitting ten years ago as a baseline and saying to the world the united states as a whole will only emit about three quarters of that amount that we were ten years ago? >> that's right. i mean, each country is trying to sort of figure out a moment in its history to hold itself against, a benchmark that makes sense. so in this case, 2005 is just sort of the right benchmark for the united states. it was when we sort of just started to get it together. so you're absolutely right, it's going to require a massive national effort. it's a three quarters reduction. and the ways have not been made clear of how to do it. president obama has talked about bringing in some tighter restrictions

it granted the united states of america power over foreign affairs, war, and a post office. t was it. if congress wanted mope which, of course it needed, it had to requisition it from the states. so every year, congress would adopt a budget. and tell each state how much their share would be. often, the money never arrived. so congress had no power over commerce, no power of revenue no, taxation, and certainly no power to create as it would later a 100 square mile federal territory over which the united states congress had exclusive jurisdiction. in 1783 congress consisted of the 13 states each delegation could have as many members up to seven as it could pay for. but only one vote. it took seven votes to do anything and nine votes to do anything that cost money. consequently didn't get too much done. so immediately there were attempts to amend it to strength it to give congress the power tore have a tariff or imep post duty. like all revolutions when the articles of confederation were first written, everybody's on the same side of things and so they put in a provision in the

the ice, of course slavery, with its impact still remaining. the united states is what is called a colony society. that's an unusual form of imperialism. it's the form of imperialism in which the imperial power originally england, settles the country that is being taken over drives out or exterminates the population. that is extreme form of imperialism. it's true of the -- what's called the anglo sphere, the countries that extended out of england, through the united states, ready, australia, new zealand, almost. they didn't quite exterminate the indigenous population. that's an unusual form of imperialism. for the indigenous people very dangerous one. and, yes they're fighting back and they need support. however, there's another point that ought to be made about preservation of the commons. that is back to climate change. the commons are the environment in which we live. if the commons are privatized if they're handed over to exxonmobil and chevron and so on, we're dead. for the reasons that i've just mentioned. we're pretty obvious. if the commons are pr

there are two reasons that determined that in which china would have to overcome if it really wants to equal the united states and soft power. one is china has to unleash its civil society. a lot of american soft power or european soft power comes not from government broadcasting. it comes from essentially foundations, universities hollywood cultural industries and so forth to china with communist party control is very loath to give the freedom to these aspects of civil society which unleashes their old creativity. and the other problem that china has is if you look at nationalism and disputes with neighbors china has been particularly in the coastal areas but also with india on the borders has disputes and because of rising nationalism in china which is helping to legitimize the communist party and may become more important as the growth rate slowed its very hard for them to compromise. so it's one thing to put up a confucius institute in manila to attract people to the troops or a set of traditional chinese culture but it's hard for philippine consumers of this culture to feel warm toward china if ch
