a 2 bedroom unite and have other units entry that is not typically defined as a vacant unit in san francisco when we talk about the vacant units no one is living there off the market for whatever reason so this commercial short-term rental number includes the units where there is no residential only used for short-term rentals but is it also includes units you might have a person living there 365 a year or 2 hundred plus but they're frequently more 88 days a year rent out that spare bedroom are portion of a room it is misleading to say that between a quarter and a half of the vacant big iebts are short-term rentals when that number includes units with permanent residents in them and your unable to say what the breakdown it between the commercial short-term rentals with the residents and have a permanent residents they rent out the barroom a lot i think this is a misleading statement. >> i can address that supervisor wiener what our concept was that unit to be used by the hours market not to say how many people live in the unite so it is curling occupied by one taernl but maybe a two unit ren

side-by-side, the united eight -- the united states and britain together had won the war. if they stay together, they can enforce the peace and make sure this is the last great war. that there will no longer be another great war. as we know, that does not happen. after the first world war, one thing that happens is that the united states and britain fall out with each other on this question of who is going to hold the trident? was it the united states or britain? which country was going to be the leading naval power of the world? this is part of the history of international relations of the period between the two world wars that is not well known today. i want to highlight this because this is one of the major irritants, points of contention between the united states and britain between the two world wars. about what size should each country's fleet be relative to -- should be relative to the other? should britain remained the dominant naval power? or should the united states be on par -- at least equal with that of britain? so, a naval rivalry emerges between britain and

is are removed from the housing unit can you explain that to us. >> sure when a unit is removed from the hyatt it the restricted and it makes the housing go up so people spend more money on housing and letting less to spend less in the city 80 so the consumers they may require we're talking about samuel effects but if it is large units if the housing gossips the labor costs go up and people need more earnings to earn in the city and that has other sellers impacts. >> do you have a quantifyable impact in removing one housing unit that quantitativelyable impact that's what we're saying. >> what is that. >> 2 hundred and 50. >> 2 hundred and 62 thousand. >> i think in the final draft 2 hundred and 62 is hard that is the research. >> if we conclude one housing units the economic impact is a loss of $206,000. >> yes. occupied i say shrm you get benefits but we found the net effect is still 2 hundred plus. >> did you review the budget analyst report. >> i read it before today's hearing i reviewed piece of it. >> in that report there was a projection of the number of units that are being lo

the surplus units will be returned to the united states as quickly as possible.n the united states, the man of these surplus units will revert back to a surplus pool. it is from these surplus that the various types of army personnel reductions will be made. they will be chosen from among those with the highest priority scores. however, the rate of return will depend on the number of ships that can be spared over and above the thousands required to supply our fighting theater in the pacific. they pacific theater is the number one priority. all else must wait. we must transfer aliens of fighting men, tanks, planes guns, ammunition, and food. longer supply lines as we had to europe means most of the ships and planes used to supply the once active european theater will be needed to supply the active is the area. the majority of ships that proceed to europe will continue to the pacific laden with troops for that distant campaign. very few will turn around and come back to the united states. that's why we cannot return all the surplus men to the united states at one ti

entire units as you can see this is a rental market in those neighborhoods and the vacant unit and the number of units we're clarifying as commercial entire units eaten pitting those together what that representatives in the way of the potential rental market in that neighborhood in the unit were available and the percentages on the right very high for mira loma and sunnyside and hate ashbury and coastline is a higher number of units and then the citywide is at the bottom 12.9 percent of the united fall into that clarification so some neighborhoods we have some of the neighborhoods report and some are low down to 5 percent those are the areas where the impact was particularly the strongest this was doing the same analysis but for the private rooms the impact is less significant a high threshold as you can see the percentage of potential rooms for rent relative to the entire stock is ranging between 5 to 14 percent those were the high impact neighborhoods and citywide of 5 percent in terms of the evictions we certainly observed that the number of evicts is high in the same neighborhoods

the 3 bedroom is key we changed from 2 weeks ago to now, one the bmr units is a 3 bedroom unit that's not a requirement it is something someone asked of us we put that into the design and the application so anyways that's what this diagram or magic explains. >> i don't think that makes for a better design i think pragmatic with the current unit of 25 feet it is a strong design that's why we kept that as the design application. >> i think that is a much better project and move to approve. >> second. >> with conditions. >> with conditions. >> with the conditions as acknowledged by staff thank you. >> commissioners commissioners if there's nothing further there there there is a motion and a second to approve that matter with conditions as amend by staff. >> commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner wu commissioner president fong so moved, commissioners, that motion passes 7 to zero and i do believe that staff as well as the representatives for item item 9 are still at the board hearing so if it accommodates the co

not only 4 units on site the problem there's not enough onsite affordable housing 4 unit does hardly anything to help with the situation of displacement and gentrification in this area so many people are being displaced there are 23 percent offsite the keyword is unify taking people of low income to a different area separating families, separating community and it is really detrimental to the people who live there and who have been living there a long time my biggest point is to say that in the mission we must have more affordable housing and it's incredibly important that we continue to champion this idea and represent the community that lives there now thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm carolyn i'm with the mission neighborhood all to apologize to the developers and architect that have been working a long time they probably know this neighborhood has been experiencing extreme change so what is their proposing to build awhile appropriate and aesthetics and appropriate to what makes sense for this neighborhood is hardly appropriate at this time we w

this week it was announced that the united states would allow ferries to come from florida to the united states into cuba. it hasn't been announced as a big breakthrough in this country. people are wondering what will come in on the ferries. does that mean the united states will send in thousands without permission. lots of regulations. they are not sure how they'll manage all this. >> the cubans wanted to get off the state sponsor's terror list, be allowed back into latin american meetings, they got those things. how come there's not a more developing trust that the united goodwill. >> it's history, it's a long history going back to the spanish american war, and the fact that the guantanamo navel base is occupied by the united states. cuba sees that as an injury, a wound in its heart. that's how they describe it. this is a treaty signed more than 100 years ago. and it doesn't allow or almost 100 years ago. it doesn't allow the kooubons to tell the united states to leave. it has to be by mutual accord. that, and other reasons the political differences that exist between the united states

the unit system will apply in the united states. commanding generals in the ground service and air have been given the numbers and types of individuals within their commands who have become surplus or can be replaced. they will transfer their surplus men to the surplus pool for designation as essential or non-essential as you have seen. also if any man who may be non-essential under the plan wishes to remain in the army, such a man will not be forced out if he will be usefully employed. in the case of the army's officers military necessity will determine which are non-essential. they will be separated as they can be spared. our women's army corps has not been forgotten. it is an integral part of our armed forces and a priority for release among its members will be determined just as in the rest of the army. treating the corps as a separate group. credit will be given for the women's auxiliary army corps. however, soldiers whose husbands have been separated from the army will be discharged upon application. you have seen how the worl

income from that unit to try to make ends meet in this very, very expensive city and, of course, no other legislation is perfect but we struck a balance and if we pass the legislation the mayor signed it the operator active date are for legislation was february 1st of this year which is if i'm counting correctly around hundred days ago from today so this legislation has been in effect for hundred days but on the 31 days the planning department told the economy of this board that was effectively unenforceable so we immediately started to see legislation introduced to change it now, i'm not here to say i can definitely say in the long run the current legislation is going to be the best approach for whether there will effectively need to be changes i have i'm not saying what my position will ultimately be i'm here to listen today, i have questions for the city departments but one of the questions is why are we after a long process we adapted a leo allowing law and the mayor signed it hundred days later we're declaring guess what we have to change it all i have questions about the enfor

and 19, 23 bedroom units the rest are one bedroom - we've been working with the neighborhood and thelanning department since 2013 and the resulting project has gone through any stages along the dog patch neighborhood association from the letter that you received from the association their pleased with the end result after a year and a half and many the presentations working with them regarding the parking that was brought up it is actually to our office in the past week and the code section that crisis is referring to regarding the two and 3 bedroom unit above a thousand feet when they which will be allowed one by one parking it kicks in another building code section that gives the description of either having a space efficient garage valet or using lifts elevator, if you will, existing site is actually, two stories below grade for the most part and the new garage is below grade so actually to make the garage important efficient what comes out 6 center spaces to have the one to one parking didn't benefit the project at all it is below grade space in fact, one the comments from the ne

combat units. defining military cohesion and troop effectively by masculinity places women as outsiders and as a threat by the nature irrespective of their performance. this perspective can't be countered with more research. the requires a change in perspective. this is why attitudes matter. going to the second indicator. i mentioned research earlier that shows little correlation between women and reduced cohesion. there are some studies that find the contrary. if you dig deeper into the studies, you can find interesting conclusions. let me explain. one study found that units with higher numbers of women may report lower levels of cohesion because women, as a group, tend to report lower levels of cohesion. the more women you have, the lower levels of cohesion because women report lower levels. another study found that women that negatively impacted cohesion found that men's acceptance of women impacted the cohesion. the more men were accepting of women, the higher the rates of cohesion in the group

requested if you look back at our rvp for the ocii units we said that is units need to be a minimum of 5 hundred square feet for is one bedroom and 70 is 50 for the two bedroom and we end up with 840 plus and 11 square feet for is 3 bedroom we got larger units that i think will be more comfortable to those people that are in there. >> and because of this the grocery store was reduced to 12 thousand 57 hundred from 22 thousand; is that correct. >> it was reduced i don't know if it was reduced specifically for that reason i'll ask bill whitney to come up and address that. >> commissioners with respect to to the grocery we started out with our usual concept of trying to combine two floors what we found as we talked to people two issues of is previous scheme is first is that was a fish nor foul size the larger grocery's want thirty to 40 we couldn't do under the circumstances but something central to our design that cuts to is site the larger gorgeous wanted continuous space partly is lack we were not going to compromise that to get to the larger grocery their tech people that is true e

there was never, never a time when the united states or americans living and what would become the united states for non-americans living and what would become united states -- never a time when they were isolated from the rest of the world. never a time when they were an island without deep connections elsewhere. our ideas of governments, people have populated our society, our trade, our economy have all been deeply dependent on international actors, upon people who live far from our territories. at the end of the 19th century we are going to deal with whatnot marks the end of isolation. it does not mark the end of isolation. it marks a different deeper engagement with the world for a society that was already and engaged with a worldview and deeper engagement with the world for a society that was already deeply engaged with the world and a level of engagement that is different from what it was before. different in scope and nature and in particular more militarized, more militarized than it had been before. it is the depth and breadth of american interactions that had changed. this is an

into combat units. defining military cohesion and troop effectiveness by masculine rituals or masculinity actually places women as outsiders and as a threat by their very nature irrespective of performance. and this perspective can't be countered with more research. it requires a change in perspective. this is why attitudes matter. so going to the second indicator. i mentioned research that shows little correlation between women and reduced cohesion. but there are some studies that actually show -- that find the contrary. but if you dig deeper into some of these studies, you actually can find some quite interesting conclusions. so let me explain. one study found that units with higher numbers of women may report lower levels of cohesion because women as a group tend to report lower levels of cohesion. so the more women you have the lower levels of cohesion because women report lower levels. another study that did find that women negatively impact cohesion also found that men's acceptance of women impact

unit. we've done it for centuries in the same roughly way. and our drill sergeants know exactly how to push our recruits very hard, and they know that they should encourage the weekend activities that men do, as well, quite often hard drinking and wooing the ladies down at the local pub, et cetera. those are all ways that we know work. and we're comfortable with it because we assume that it is the way we do things. and it, you know, if it worked for centuries, why should we change it? but there's also quite a lot of research highlights that these types of masculine social cohesion units, or sort of constructions, if you will, can quite often lead to some extreme and very problematic cases of hypermasculinity, abuse. now i don't know if it's directly related to sexual violence within the armed forces, for example, but it seems to me a pretty obvious connection. there's also the link to toxic leadership that we quite often consider quite acceptable because they are usually quite effective. th

united states. you will see quotes in the book that it didn't matter if china was lost to the united states. china had no resources that the u.s. couldn't get somewhere else and japan was by far america's number one -- so the japanese military was going into china and was fueled by american oil and american steel. in 1938 the song family and chiang kai-shek thought they had a way to get the japanese out art of china. they established a china lobby organization in downtown manhattan two blocks from the public library. it was a china lobby organization that was staffed by american missionaries and as a front man they had henry stimson who is called the first washington wise man. henry simpson was former secretary of state secretary of war. he was a wise man genius of the 1930s. so this committee seem to have an american front but it was funded by china lobby money from the songs then chiang kai-shek. this propagandize the united states. extremely slick rushers very excellent arguments in the newspaper

there is other important news in the united states. the death toll rising after historic rains in the southwest. here are the latest numbers and they are grim. at least 18 people confirmed dead in texas and oklahoma. another 13 are missing, 11 of them in hays county texas. and the property loss also devastating. 1400 homes and businesses have been damaged after the area picked up close to a foot of rain in one day. in the meantime just south of dallas texas, officials are keeping very close eye on the dam they thought at one point would burst. people who live in the area evacuated their homes. they moved their livestock at this point, but the officials there are hopeful the dam will hold. let's get more perspective on what is going on. cnn's rosa flores joined us outside one flood-ravaged home. >> reporter: hi wolf one thing that made this story happen very quickly, was the surge. i want to show you around here because here you're able to see some of that surge. and some of the debris flushing towards the cars into these homes. now, we
