it was at 17th and valencia. there's a plaque out there. you could sail a boat up the creek that flowed out into the bay into the lake at 7 the and mission and go sailing. it was that big. that land was so valuable because everybody wanted to live east of twin peaks because the weather was better here. warm. they filled in as much land as they probably could. and then they were forceed to building on the other side of twin peaks. where the weather wasn't as nice. >> i live in inner sunset. in 1906. in the big earthquake, that area had dramatic effect. one building settled down into the lake bed. >> the largest loss of life was at 17th and valencia hotel. the fire department came in, drown the people in the basement and the fire came and killed a bunch more people. across the street, there was a 3 story building any after the earthquake, the first floor went straight down. didn't crush. just liquified and created 1 story basement. >> we have unusual soil conditions and then, on top of that, we have built environment. we have buildings built

the second coupon of the legislation would amend the controls for restaurant on valencia street just from 15th street to 24th street. while restaurants are permitted as of now to use nct currently, new restaurants under the proposed legislation that propose to locate in existing ground floor retail spaces would require conditional use authorization. and a field survey conducted by the department interns last summer indicates that there are approximately 71 existing eating establishments on this stretch of valencia and then information from the office of the treasurer indicates that of those 55 have opened within the last five years. so, there has been an influx of new restaurants in that area. the amendment would provide a layer of oversight over the loss of retail space to new restaurants, yet it does not involve a ban or prohibition [speaker not understood] the department certainly supports. the department's proposed modifications as i said are intended only to clarify about changing the intent of the legislation. and staff has received feedback from one member of the public, speci

nick valencia is live at the church where martin luther king preached.hen you're talking about ebenez ebenezer, i'm sure it was a moving service. >> it was a service of disappointment. 2,000 people who showed up, a majority of them were supporters of trayvon martin. the pastor, pastor paid tribute to trayvon martin. at one point, one of the most powerful moment in his sermon, he called up all the parishioners, 17 or older, they walked up holding hands. he looked at them and said, the world needs your voice. we're counting on you. he also went on to say the incident that happened between george zimmerman and trayvon martin happened for one reason and one reason only. >> trayvon benjamin martin is dead because he and other young black men and boys are seen not as a person but as a problem. isn't that what we heard on the 911 call? i see a problem. do you know him, sir? no, but i know he's a problem. what is he doing? not doing much, he's walking, but he's a problem. what does he have? skittles and iced tea but he's a problem. >> reporter: the general sermo

it's valencia at 17th and it's still there and you can share out of it and reserve it. pods are locate audio these are out there in 12 locations in the city. in the initial pilot these came forward in three waves but ended up with 12 locations. the lessons that we learn friday the first pilot first. >> >> on street pods are feasible and utilized if they're in high demand areas. enforcement is an issue. as you imagine once we take a space and dedicate it to car share it doesn't mean someone else won't park there and like the pod i showed you on valencia street and attractive parking there and it was a bit of a challenge so enforcement is critical. marking the spaces is important. making them very evident as car share. official areas are very visible, successful but again the enforcement challenge. a broad base of political support is necessary for spaces to be approved. we're talking about on street parking and arizona i haveuous. >> >> and support this is we're having conversations so that support is essential and outreach is key. so we're coming to you today with a pro
