the vibrancy and energy that this would provide, especially with the outdoor seating, would make me feeltable. it is of huge importance to me. i would hope to go there as often as i could, knowing that that is not the reason i'm here, i'm here for the community and vibrancy that it would allow on the streets. >> i live at 1171 alabama street, two blocks from the proposed site. i'm here to support the restaurant. i think he has been a positive addition to the neighborhood and i look forward to seeing additional resources being expended by someone who lives in the neighborhood and is willing to continue to build businesses within the neighborhood. i have a 1-year-old daughter and the first place we took her to is the local eatery because it he supported having children and families around but also at sustainable food that was good -- there was a good model for her. as i watched her grow up, i think about the neighborhood i want to have her live in. i envision her walking to elementary school, passing by the local corner and enjoying a restaurant where all the ingredients are sustainable an

are you seeing vibrancy there, or is it being replaced by something else?i think it's replaced by some degree by technology, for example, by branding, by publishing, by communications. there's so much happening today in the creative markets, that these people coming forward, and they have many cases got millions of square feet of leases maturing, in the next two or three years, and they have to go someplace. >> leases are maturing, that's one of the issues here. >> yes. >> you said money is coming from all over the world. where specifically is the money coming from? is it middle eastern money, asia? >> maria, it's all over the globe. heavily middle east, no question about that. it's also eastern europe. far eastern europe. it's really -- there's no specific area. but clearly investment capital is seeking its home here in america. and the prime location for that capital is the city of new york. >> do you worry, though, a moment ago you said prices were off the charts. do you worry we're headed toward a situation like in the past, where prices were unsustaina

otherwise, san francisco will lose a cultural vibrancy and you need this that makes it a unique cultural hub. >> i wanted to alert you that we have lost the department of building inspection's rep for item four. i urge to continue that item to another week. >> we will call speakers. tommy, i apologize for butchering names, alberto del rio, chris wright, who i do not think is here, shannon dodge, charlie. go ahead. thank you. >> my name is jenny jordan. i am with occupy. since 2008, there have been more than 3000 and foreclosures in san francisco. because of the racist banks, they have banned in working- class communities of color. we need household preservation of rent-controlled. we need controls on condo conversions and foreclosure prevention. we do not really need new household programs until we work on the solution to the problems of funding homeowners foreclosure to get counseling from san francisco housing development corporations. that is for the african-american community, the latino community, and the asian community. we need regulations in the behavior of the banks and mortgage

few can match the vibrancy of his art and the diversity of his techniques. he was born in eastern germany but fled shortly after the berlin wall was put up. >> today, his work fetches millions on the art market. >> he has been called an artistic and million. throughout his long career, he has explored many different media and techniques. sometimes colorful and abstract, other times monochrome and realist. they are all part of his bass register of styles. -- fast register of styles. >> it is not all from the same day, and it is normal in art. there are a lot of composers who write a range of songs -- sometimes sad, sometimes funny. >> began taking photos from newspapers and reproducing them as paintings in the 1960's. but from his family album was the inspiration for "uncle rudy in his german army uniform." he depicted rare over the shoulder glimpse of the media shy artist at work. he often works on several paintings simultaneously. using a range of techniques. despite his repertoire of techniques, traditional brushstrokes, palette knife, or even digital comp

and there's a vibrancy in the capital district region around nanotechnology that would not have happened but for the state's investment. if we did it in albany, we can do it in buffalo. we believe in buffalo. let's put our money where our mouth is. we're ready to invest $1 billion in an economic development package for the city of buffalo to bring business back to buffalo. it's gone on for too long! it's going to stop today. that is a big "b," standing for buffalo and standing for billion. we're going to work with the regional councils, which have been a great success and the buffalo regional council is working very well to create thousands of jobs, attract companies internationally or nationally, and we will put together an economic development package that works for that cluster economy. we believe our 1 billion can leverage at least $5 billion in economic activity. last year we got serious about economic development all across the board. and we had a two-part strategy. we had a macro top down strategy. new york open for business. where new york state sets the template, sets the table

the foot traffic and vibrancy and kick energy that that building an organization brought to that neighborhoodnd fantastic. what we found out that equinox was trying to come into our neighborhood, we could not have been more thrilled. for thoseçó of the debtor not familiar with the way they are displayed in the committee, they held a site go for survival cancer marathon last weekend in their high industry facility, with which i participated in. ñrit was fantastic to be a partf that and see that happen in san francisco. please accept my enthusiastic support for this product, and i hope you will approve equinox coming to union street. çthank you. >> patricia, neighbors and the merchants. i cannot speak for golden gate valley because i have not heard back. but every association, merchants and neighborhood associations, supported this project. particularly in the moving component, and it should stay in. we think elizabeth and david for putting it back in as a condition. we have been working with the people from ucla to rehab old movies. we have been working with independent people to eventually c

where is the vibrancy. where are they placing their bets?nd i use bets lightly, i'm talking long term. sectors and geoographies. >> you always follow where gdps go. look at the emerging world as a sector to be investing in of the you don't have to do that by investing specifically in the emerging world. own the ges and honeywell, jpmorgan, and the other stocks that are multinational that are earning returns worldwide. even at black rock, 40% of our business now is outside the united states. so you can be looking at multinational companies. >> that pay dividends. >> that pay dividends. look at multinational companies that have -- that have debt that's long dated, that may be earning 4%, 5%, 6% returns. >> what do you think the implications are of day in, day out, such low volume and low volatility? what is that a symptom of or result of? >> i think low volume is, a, a concern of the future. so people are holding back. i also think low volume is also an issue of this fear of the future. and people are holding back. it's not just a function of

born into effluence, conscious of and guilty about the ignorance the of the vibrancy and of the you do not have to know it firsthand. many of the second third generation members of bald increasingly don't get america. in their heart of hearts, they don't understand why america is special. but the second and feared generation of belmont remains a strong faction of all americans. elsewhere i hope and believe from sea to shining sea, they're remains a broadly shared understanding that america isn't just another state. if that is true as i believe it to be among the mainstream democrats and republicans alike we should be argue about how to legislate for health care what the other ceiling and still be able to agree. we have had something wonderful going on in america. we mustn't lose it. america is fundamentally unlike england or germany or france or sweden or for that matter unlike japan or china. the american project must once again be seen for what it is to a different way for people who live together, unique elimination's and precious. that's it.
