enough information for us to be able to determine what those impacts would be. the dda provides enough information for us to do the analysis that we need in order to define what the impacts of the project would be when it is constructed. supervisor avalos: if you can describe what the major impacts are and how you feel satisfied this is the right approach could >> well, we have a comprehensive list of all the effects of that project under that scheme, and an example -- supervisor avalos: an example would be great. >> for example, we have a representation of what the project would look under the development controls, and on that basis, we are able to impact -- figure out what the impact of the shadows would be on the project site. similarly, for wind, we were able to just a model boat of the project site at buildout using a plan, and under that plan, there are enough controls for us to be able to have an adequate level. supervisor avalos: and some you might have a range for how different parts of the island may be developed based on height. that is not all certain

in this used to be a gorgeous and local treasure before developers found it. they expected no one home to be added to rigger no one had any idea. but thank you. >> next speaker please. >> my name is robert. i have lived in the neighborhood for about 20 years. when the property originally came to sail, and there was a condition split along in two -- to split the yard in two. we have already put a stop sign up there. yes, there have been more people moving in, but my concern is about the safety of the area, and for those of us who wanted to move into san francisco, i just see these properties are going to change the character of the neighborhood. >> next speaker please. >> my name is carmen. can you hear me? my family has lived here for almost 50 years, and i feel it would really be devastating to our residential neighborhood in terms of property values and quality of life. if the board of appeals allows the construction to go through on not only three houses but the building -- it is not within the confines of what we have now. it is not going to be in cohabitat

it used to be, i make myself sound old, i am all. it used to be, i would hear tells of up to $1 million said they would pay for a movie to put it on television. now they pay $75,000. the finances have fallen apart. you cannot make any money back. what is the remedy? i do not know. one of the things is that most people do not want to pay for things on the web. they want a free. -- it free. tavis: is there any place for that could storytelling to find grounds? or is the storytelling from the small independents a thing of the past? >> it will come back. there are still people who want to make independent film. there are people who want to watch independent film. there are even people who want to pay for independent films. but we have to sort it out as to how they will get their money back. it will probably do with or netflix or apple. you will turn on the tv and up will come a menu. there will be a thing for independent films. it will cost you $15 to c a new release. -- see a new release. tavis: until it comes back, you will be on "shame

we are also showing the expenditure budget is $42 million being used in a similar method of a worth -- that they were being used prior to being flexible, and in the last column you see they reflect the $60 million is part of the budget and basically is to offset the general fund, which includes across -- the cost of the formula and other items. if it was not for that, we would have to cut more money for other areas of our budget. the next one excluding the amount of it goes into the general fund. >> >> indicating how this money would be spent? >> you are talking about a particular amount of money it came from the programs. it is currently being put in some accounts. we are spending $32 million in a similar method as before. the amount that is left over is from each of those categories and is being used by the funds to offset the increases that go in the formula, the other areas in the expenses, that if we did not have this money we would be making those cuts. >> there is still a general area of this money is going into? >> yes. >> so as far as making it explicit, we are not doing 5 emma -- doing that? >> the other $16 m

to us in this media and the full transparency. what happened to average people? what's happened to people when raging press was introduced? how you view what happened to us? what's going to be next? >> i'll tell you what happened to us is i believe we gained the competency of the last great media renaissance. it feels we get a new medium, and then the elite seem to actually capture the real capacity of the medium while the people gain the capability of the medium before. so, we get text and the rabbis learn to read and the people learn how to hear. they listen to the scroll be read to them. we get the printing press, and the elite print books while we learn to read. now we get the internet and commuterses, and we learn to write; right? so blog and write and tweet, while the elite learn to program. we finally got the capability of the 13th century, but we're in the #21st century. we're one step behind. we've got a world where instead of paying money a watch money made by studios, we pay money to buy the equipment to make our own movies and then upload them for more money into servers we don't own. i feel what we've done is turn our productive capability into a new form of co

it used to be garland. to have an engineering, technology product sounds unique to me, with potentially 4 million users across the world. keeping a company like that, that will grow their employees from 350 to the expected 3000 in the next couple of years will be a fabulous contribution to the change we expect in the market. that is what we are trying to do and we're seeing implications of that happening already. i wanted to let you know, my last conversation with the assurance team group -- shorenstein group, they are about to spend $80 million retrofitting even before twitter spends its money, which will be around $15 million renovating the space that they need. that is a million-dollar, plus another $20 million -- that is an $80 million commitment in the first year. i think that is a great indication. now we are seeing smaller businesses will be attracted. a burger place will be opening in august. i just had lunch with a commissioner at a cafe on sixth street. wonderful place. we will have a police substa

having our youth know that they can come to us, what time they can come to us, what time we will be available to provide services is very important. with the cuts, it is difficult for us to provide those services. it also takes away from the support the us as community workers get, which is difficult because we are getting the brunt of what the community is experiencing. that being the case, we also need support. we need people that we can go and talk to and we can go to for advice and for how to continue to serve our people, right? because we are the front line. so i encourage you guys to stabilize the budget so we can continue to provide those services, so we can continue to grow and have a stable community and continue educating our youth. education does not only happen within the schools. happens outside the schools so they apply the things they learned. we are some of the places that they can go ahead and get that experience. yes, that is all i have to say. thank you.

we have to be able to balance out the difference. >> i appreciate your comment on public transportation with what used to be the 41 union running less frequently than it ever did and a cable car which is going to go up to $7 on july 1st. the cable car is not an option unless you're a tourist and have unlimited amounts of spending money. particularly a cable car that does not allow you to use a transfer, so you are stuck. i'd do not think what is there is sufficient for people to be encouraged to go there by public transit. with the cab fare is going up -- it is a stretch. i think hanging that out there is something we might want to discuss is a good point. >> if it is a challenging top biography, we should be looking at these access issues, really. >> commissioners, on the floor is the motion to take a discretionary view and approve the project, that you eliminate the awning and on the setback, as it has been articulated by the zoning administrator -- i am not going to try to repeat that. on that motion -- [roll-call] thank you, commissioners, that passes unanimously. >> and on the matter of a variant

with these budget cuts is 334 people to now -- do not now have a resource center to go to, to not be able to use restrooms at the shelter to be able to rest. if you are in a wheelchair. this is what the budget cut will do. again, it is resident impact. also, staffing impact. you see us at the shelters. we employ 25% of our staff are formerly homeless. we are employing formerly homeless at $12.13 an hour. we will lay off -- we will have to lay off some of our staff. again, these are the working poor, and we ask that they not be penalized by these cuts. finally, the neighborhood impact. again, i say that having the shelter opened, having a place for them to watch tv, to rest, to be with each other instead of being on the street is going to save on police calls, save on emergency calls, and in the long run, save money for the city. again, i plead that we consider these cuts and not make them on the backs of the homeless. thank you. >> good evening. my name is connie ford, and i happen to live in district 5, but many of the members that are represented by union works in soma. i am also vice-presiden

they retain a small lot to give them the use of the city and access to their house. these will be, if the variants -- variance is approved, the smallest lots in the area. the other contention is the off street parking space will be removed. in fact, the parking space has been compromised already by the creation of the fence to show where the new property line would be. until three years ago, that fence did not exist. that driveway was still marked by a curb cut, by double opening doors wide enough to permit a car, and was able to permit off street parking. the property line proposed in the variance would no longer allow that because the fence has been built in the middle of that parking space. in addition, there was a serious flaw with the notification process in the neighborhood. the notification as posted said the property was rh-2. that is incorrect. it is rh-1. this was corrected less than four days before the hearing, and no re-mailing occurred to the neighborhood that this was in fact an rh-1 property. finally, i am not opposed entirely to allowing the owners of this land to

the decision to indict gadhafi has outraged critics who claim the i.c.c. is being used as a political tool patrick hayes a london based reporter for the online magazine spiked says it's up to the people of libya to decide what punishment their leader deserves. just as actually in many ways actually shut off any possible escape routes for him so it means that really he's in a place where he's going to have to fight to the very end now and live up to his promise to fight and die on libyan soil so i don't think this helps matters and it certainly doesn't help matters for the libyan people when the international criminal court comes in and basically presumes all for if you have a libyan people for taking you know for a meeting out justice on gadhafi this shouldn't be any business of the international criminal court they should be for the libyan people to resolve their affairs with gadhafi the international criminal court is the place where the west judge is the rest at this particular point i think it's very important for the future of democracy in libya that the rebels are
