much effort to built, the amount of effort it would take to build a stone fortifications around a whole city, st. augustine wasn't really worth it. ultimately they put 14-foot high reinforced wall with guns in place to turn the city into a fortification. right where we are now, is pretty much where about the last five fortifications were built. from here even with a little six-pound, even a four-pound gun, like the one in up there a four-pound gun can fire about a mile. so most of that coming into the harbor is under the small guns, let alone the big guns. >> what we have here is one of the swedish iron cannons that were arming the castillo in 1702. 1702 is one of the major sieges that took place here in st. augustine. prior to this fortress being built, the city had been burned into the ground by invaders, private ears, pirates whatever you want to call them several times. spain wanted to invest in building this stone fortification, not only was it going to be a gun platform to defend the city if the harbor it was also going to be a safe haven for the entire community. with castillo once it

one-size-fits-all approach and the confusion will rezoning the whole city - i believe this work for neighbors as well as short-term rental hosts and therefore much of this i want to offer on amendment from my own district in terms of what people want from a district seeing the opportunity as people see preventive rather than waiting for someone to get a permit and start exclaiming about the neighbors finding out that oh no, this person is going short-term rental and start complaining so i want to introduce a modest amendment for the 3 hundred feet of neighborhood associations in rh1 and rh2 district for the short-term hosts applies to the regulatory the application would be on hold for 45 days for people to printed in the record provide resist information the specific requirements laid out in a supervisor chosen ordinance i strongly believe that the proposal issuance and i'm offering this amendment to item no. 7 supervisor farrell's legislation i strongly believe that the proposed ordinance for this modest amendment it will be difficult to enforce but i do believe we should allow the resident

dealing with the different situation and some have argued some things are different and that's in the whole city people don't come from market octavia or potrero hill or earn selma that are people that will august those but the demands are just as great and the other thing they've brought up the statistics they said hundred and 50 households per year we are leaving between 2009 2013 between thirty and have hundred and 20 percent of ami that's a really broad range that includes a lot of people for the same reason that our friends and families will rent a city in brisbane over and over small business owner somewhere to get a house less extensive this is a nature migration they have spefld spelled out the evicted as the rb a brought up because of the state law people don't have to stay in the rental market and can sell and convert through the ellis act or form tic if a group purchase something this is probably the most beneficial use of tic but used in many ways this is probably with impacts more than new construction also i if hear controls in the past there was a huge percentage of italians not i

but there is also issues, i think, that are real external to the city that get in the way of public bank and that is the whole banking system; that i think we're up against as well. that determines how we as a city will seek bonds, or other financial tools to be able to accomplish what we want to accomplish? and starting to muck around in that world, creates a lot of resistance. i'm not sure if it make a lot of sense for me to be saying this in lafco, but i am saying it. so i do welcome it. i just don't know how far he can get with it. maybe that is my own bias after working a number of years and feel like we have done a lot of work on it and not getting very far in the effort. so i would love to hear my fellow commissioners. >> do you think that could be our next ten-year fight? [laughter ] >> it's quite possible. hopefully it wouldn't be longer than that. we're dealing with in the case of cca, we're dealing with the electrical generation and history and in particular, the local monopoly of pg&e. and in the public banking arena, we'll be dealing with an industry that is more oligarch ial and the influence on

and that is something that you could do for yourself and for your neighbors and for the whole city is make sure that your water tank is braced. >> if you look at the studies that are predicting on fires, we are going to have a lot of fires and for every water tank that is braced there is a potential of one less fire that the fire department is going to have to fight and we don't want to have any more fires than we need to. so bracing the water heater is the first thing that you want to do. >> and so easy, and you go on-line and you google, earthquake, water and heater and you google the sites where you can find the details and you can put them out there on the hardware store and you can hire a small contract tore do that for you. that is a couple of hundred bucks, the best investment. if you are in other types of building it is complicated. if you are in a high-rise building you just can't anchor your building down because there are no anchor bolts, but at that point the tenant should be asking questions of the owner's and the managers about earthquake preparedness >> and don't take t

>> it's like a great big hug in the whole city. >> that food is about all i can handle.t chili powder in my baby food. >> french fries everywhere, all over the table and just a lot of chili.
