the whole city, there are 2.2 million people, but the real city of amsterdam, there are less than 800,000, which i think is about the same as san francisco. i will also pass around a few sheets. the important thing is that amsterdam is one of the five major economic central's -- economic centers in europe, and we want to stay that way, and we are an attractive city for international business, like the american and asian companies that like to have business in amsterdam. it is a real nice place to stay. experts like to live in amsterdam, and is accessible from all parts of the world. it is also very important case of cycling. what irony said, 2.2 million and happens, but the last line may be the most important, about 120 kilometers per day traffic jams. that is qu7?) a lot. this distance is not more than 25k. we have a real problem. that is not good for business. for us, it is active transport, really important as a solution for being accessible. ok, does it work? yes. this is the city. at the red lines, these are the congestion. this is the pattern of workers who go to work in the morning

notification and everything else but the -- the harsh reality is that when we save money, we serve the whole city. we don't serve just the neighborhood by putting guardeners and recreation center directors back to work. i think that we're under that gun. so be that as it may or people that want to call it privatization, which i find to be an offensive word. i would rather say it is revenue generating for site appropriate uses and recreation. it is a reality. we could all use words we like or don't like. these are the decisions. i tip my hand on the way it should go. i like to direct staff to work fast, diligently with city college to find a solution to try and might not -- try to minimize the impact on their program to this particular part of town where this service has been going for 40 years. >> commissioners? >> i would move approval of staff's recommendation with the change in the lease terms. >> okay. so -- now, we learn robert's rules of order. >> sorry. >> is there a second to that? >> yes. >> you need to know the lease terms. >> commissioner, what would the terms? >> two-year lease with t

does this apply for the whole city? >> not aware of >> are you talking about immediately after 1989? the work that was done? i'm not familiar with what rules may have been imposed following the marina earthquake. it could have been they set up special provisions on an emergency basis. in general if you do a voluntary strengthening. if your house is not damaged, and you wanted to do strengthening 5 eighth's inch or 3 quarters should be fine. >> anything you do is better than the existing condition. may be for the marina may be you are referring to the required fixes for damaged houses, which we are not talking about that. we are talking about today we are talking about somebody who wants to do voluntary strengthening to a house. >> california building code states 5 eighth inch minimum. you don't go smaller but if you want to go to 3 quarter, that's fine much the california building code says you must have 5 eighth minimum and 7 ifrn embedment into the foundation. >> that was the only reason i asked. i thought i remembere

the everybody should just get up and move and go find work elsewhere what happened to detroit the whole city shouldn't be abandoned but a lot of people should move. here we live in a most mobile society ever in the history of mankind it is easier today to to move beyond where you are than ever has been that doesn't make it any. easier but detroit is too large and there are not enough jobs in the city right now for everybody that wants them so you can continue to stay and you can say i'm unemployed i can't find a job here well that's that's true maybe if you are even honestly looking for a job and you are willing to take anything you can't find it well then just staying there and asking the federal government to pay you to stay there that should be the attitude we should say well ok there are jobs all across the country you can pick almost any major city in detroit and maybe be able to find a job the economy is so volatile right now then why should everybody just pick up and leave and move to some city where they could lose that job in a month i mean you can't just assume that if you move the

city tunnel number 1 had one valve to shut off the whole tunnel. city tunnel 2 had two parallel valves. city tunnel 3 has 32, so there's much more redundancy. lloyd: we're targeting a completion date of 2012 for tunnel 3. and we already are starting to prepare to take tunnel 1 offline. narrator: the construction of tunnel 3 is vital for maintaining the sustainability of new york's drinking water infrastructure. but the pipeline is useless if there's not a reliable supply of clean water within it. hurwitz: the city bought up land around the reservoirs to prevent it from development. it provides assistance to local residents to see that there's no pollution of the reservoirs. it's much more cost effective to prevent pollution and to protect a source of water than to remove it at the drinking water treatment plant. lloyd: what epa said to us was, "you can have an exemption from filtration "if you keep this undeveloped, "and if you can manage the wastewater so that it does not pollute your water supply." and we feel that we've reached the point where we

excellent job of presenting a study that serves the best interest of the waterfront as well as the city as a whole. upon a recent trip to win as onerous -- a recent trip to buenos aires, i sought new buildings that blended and complemented the longstanding architecture of the city. seeing this all my strength and my feelings for positive growth. san francisco needs to be encouraging development along the waterfront to ensure that the recent successes along the embarcadero can continue. president fong: is there any other public comment on this item? >> good evening, commissioners. thank you for your patience. it is now 6:30 p.m.. my name is fred allerdice. i am a professional real-estate broker for over 35 years, marketing homes, condominiums, that's a trap on the waterfront. i take some umbrage with the previous comment that the amount of inventory of 800 units is about to be depleted in san francisco. i have a number of clients that have purchased real-estate in the last 10 years south of market, in this area, of which over 2000 are under water, meaning the value of their homes is less than their

but all i ask is use your judgment, always look out for the best interests of the city as a whole, represent the people that come in front of you, but don't forget there are 800,000-plus people that you represent that have never come down to city hall and 150 people that work here and live here full-time represent good and important things, but there are a lot of people that need to be represented here. so i always want to remind to you reach out beyond just the halls of city hall and those that have the time to show up and are privileged enough to express themselves directly to you. that is my only criterion, my only consideration in the context of a string that is attached to this appointment. just give me a heads up, do what you think is right, always stand on principle. don't play politics. this is not about you. this is about the people we represent and the people we serve and we are privileged all of us to have this moment in time and that we are honored by the fact that the city has a charter that allows us to have this kind of representative governance structure that allows this kind

very close to me die back in two thousand and it's not just law enforcement it is our kids in our cities whole family was wiped out to dawson family by a drug dealer in baltimore back in i believe it's two thousand and three it was a dawson family so we have to change we have to move why wait let's do it now now what are very quickly we have to wrap up soon but what do you think of obama's drug policy so far i mean a lot of people are up in arms because he said that there would be no more raids and yet those continued by the f.b.i. is he not living up to his worth. well personally i think he's sincere with his word but he needs to he needs to pull in the reigns on those who is put in charge to make those decisions ahead of the da office of national drug control policy they need to do what he's told them to do eric holder has already submitted the memo to all of these states and by the way i welcome d.c. into the medical marijuana realm with the rest of the states but he needs to ensure that they follow what he has put forth so if if those patients and those dispensary is that are operating acc

on integrated projects and we have no input in land use other than commenting which is a whole host of other cities and counties. so, we're not very well coordinated in terms of our planning and that is a tremendous draw back and it's a good effort we're trying get together in terms of water resources but we're at a very early staple and that perhaps ties back to legislation and it's local land use speculation and all of that on water supply and issues we have little coordination. it's very difficult. >> i think one of the most interesting things, as water management agencies we deal with tremendous amount of regulation coming from a lot of different places and it can be extraordinarily time consuming and sometimes, lead you into - some times in order to accomplish one regulation you might go out of compliance with another one, so in my mind having away to cut through this and bringing regulators together to understand some of these issues, and perhaps, really trying help instead of something that keeps us tied up every day and makes it difficult to step back and think about climate change issues i

the proposed transit improvements will allow the southeast to be connected to the city as a whole. it will serve much as a market street with corporation transit areas. the local connecter lines would connect to the bart and cal train. we have a unique opportunity in the project to create a fast and reliable bus transit line. the city has a number of challenges with the existing residential and business districts. the city needs to balance the parking needs with the need for fast and reliable muni service. we can create a green track system to provide reliable access. it will help us achieve the doubling of transit usage for the entire southeast. the bart would run on a proposed bridge across yosemite blue. the bridge is thnine designed as primarily a pedestrian and bicycle access except for game days when cars would be allowed. it is about 41 feet wide. he would serve only bicycles, pedestrians, and clean mass transit. no vehicles would be allowed. it would be significantly smaller under that plan you will hear project proponents say you did not look at alternatives to the bridge.

currently is at a density that is fairly comparable to the surrounding neighborhood, and the city as a whole, so the combination of these two pieces do not provide the opportunity for us to bring those up into phases, so the idea has always been that we have to demolish the entire site, and we will do that as a single phase. supervisor chiu: and what are the ideas of relocating people of that has been developed? >> we are working on that with the residents themselves right now. i think we need to work that out in a formal relocation plan. we need to of a number of elements at our disposal, including relocation vouchers, which we do not have yet, but we are working with hud. one of the special circumstances, and i know that supervisor chiu is aware of this, we are looking at alternative sister sites. we do not have the ability to update the fall housing ladder, so the idea is to try to find a companion side, and we are in conversations with mta potentially about entering into negotiations on ddot -- on the kirkland site. this will allow us to get a jumpstart on some of the replacement housing
