could the innovation zones. the challenges that exist in opportunity zones, transit problems, who desert, health care act is, water infrastructure, energy, affordable housing -- it is a long list. they are also innovation opportunities for new kinds of product, services, and systems. i'm looking at how to build a partnership between opportunity zones and the community with corporate r&d centers, the this is a market for innovation. there's an opportunity for some of these two leapfrog into a whole new kind of world, with the technology that is available. so how do we build that connection and water that i would get the needs communicate the innovators in the united states? >> that is beautiful. we hire you. you are already thinking about it. >> that goes back to what i said earlier. opportunity zones by themselves are not going to be the cure all. but if we are able to do exactly what you said, use it as a chance to have dialogue with withr ed, with technology, health, with local government, with entrepreneurs,

how hazardous is the zone today. the tourists. when block for exploded on april twenty sixth one nine hundred eighty six the burning reactor spewed radioactive debris and isotopes into the air. the toxic material and dust contaminated huge swathes of land. the cleanup began immediately some eight hundred thousand liquidators were drafted in serving at great personal risk. many locations were cleared today their radiation levels are low enough to allow short visits. but there are still highly contaminated areas that could pose a safety hazard if approached. that's why visitors can only enter the zone in the company of local guides like. radioactivity is an invisible danger. radiation measurement instruments are indispensable equipment on the tour. the first shows the tourists how to use a geiger counter. you know. just again. in order to realize. this is a distance. the soil around this tree is still emitting radioactivity two point seven millisieverts per second that's about fifteen times higher than natural background radiation s

we're going to meet a true exclusion zone expert.hchak came here in the immediate aftermath as one of the thousands of liquidators. he's now a scientist. although it's not legal to live here permanently, he still works here from this previously abandoned house. oh, this is a proper field station then. you have lockers for everybody‘s kit, somewhere to leave boots. yeah. this is very organised. is this a map of the exclusion zone? yeah. the red are the hot spots? yeah. where is the nuclear power plant? this is the power plant. for this international community of scientists, the zone is a vast laboratory allowing them to measure how a landscape recovers from nuclear catastrophe. altogether, this is the largest protected area in europe by a long way. they eat, sleep and discuss their work here but their days are spent out in the field. today, with the research team, we're looking for wildlife and following sergey, we eventually come across one of many now desolate villages. it's become a strangely rich habitat and a place sergey seems t

why have they voluntarily entered a contaminated zone. and even more samples it was a hugely significant event that happened here three decades ago for me it's an opportunity to see what's happened here sense but i don't know nor does it also because of current debate on phasing out nuclear power in your own. way for to better understand why nuclear power plants need to be closed i want to see what happened here ripple on top of some of my parents are thrilled about me coming here neither is my girlfriend was known as fortunately we already have kids so she needn't worry on that account that month before the future illness and all know about. how hazardous is the zone today. sara he did breach the tourists. when blocked for exploded on april twenty sixth. one nine hundred eighty six the burning reactor spewed radioactive debris and isotopes into the air. the toxic material and dust contaminated huge swathes of land. the cleanup began immediately some eight hundred thousand liquidators were drafted in serving at great personal risk. many l

has already invested in 16 small opportunity zone projects. and these will help make the zones more attractive to investors in the tax-oriented program. i look forward to discussing how to leverage private investment at future meetings. our minority group development agency is planning opportunity summits in a number of cities throughout the country to reach that community. first one was held last month in philadelphia and had 189 attendees. so this tremendous interest and enthusiasm including some of the very storm ravaged areas such as north florida. florida has 427 opportunity zones and the state economic development team has now agreed to plan the rollout every -- of the opportunity zones as a master tool to encourage investment in those communities. mississippi and other states are doing similar things. so it has a lot of momentum. trump: how about the great larry kudlow. markets went up today. that's great. mostly up. >> only as good as my last trade. just briefly to summarize. this will help use of tax incentives and deregulation. we us

40% of the economic zones are in rural areas. the usda has a prime objective in helping to raise them as well. i would submit to you that this may be the provision of your tax cuts. we were reducing the growth of gdp and jobs in employment and economic prosperity but this may be a scot as scott said what may people ignore. and i look forward to working with this group to make sure that happens. not just for today in your administration but for in the future raising the communities. >> thank you. >> mr. president, and the energy sector, -- i get a little cross purpose going on. earlier in the week you had a great event here in the white house on first step in the concept that you push the congress to decided of law. in these prison reform reentry programs that will be able to bring people that you champion in the past on first step to give these people coming out of prison the opportunity to go into an opportunity zone. francis the department of energy is the cause of what we are seeing in the growth in the energindustry and a tru

our plan includes drop-off zones, we have track loading zones as well. those are all incorporated into the street plans. >> any public comment? next, the agenda. >> clerk: family number 5, a review of flex-zoning and zoning heights. >> thank you, directors. be co-presenting this item with natalie bonwick and kevin griffith from ticd. there was some discussion at earlier board meeting of the zoning on the island and the implications for potentially utilizing, modified type 3 construction, a lot of the island is zoned at 70 feet, 65 feet. and so we would just kind of wanted to go back to the d for d and walk through the zoning requirements that are laid out in the program. so i mentioned that the design for development document is kind of our implementation tool for the special-use district legislation, that was adopted for treasure island. and included in that is the maximum height plan that lays out the zoning across the island. and one of the unique things about treasure island is a substantial portion of the the island, including the eastern neighborho

a joint venture operates the zone. myanmar paid 51% of the costst.an provided theemaining 49%. >> actually, myanmar mostly doing the agriculture and trading, that's why we need to improve our manufacturing sector. also, we need the opportunity to create more jobs for our people. that's why this special economic zone will be a good opportunity for the industrial development and also creating jobs. >> bidding for contracts to build the kyaukoyu open zone. the winning bid went to a chin these state-owowned conglomerat. at that time the construction costs including the industrial parkrk and portt was estimated $10 billion. three-quarters of this would pay for building the port, with china providing between 75% and 85% of thehe money. the bill i is hugege, but so is china's interestt in winning access to the indian ocean, a key part of the "belt and road" initiative. one month before the contract was awarded, aung san suu kyi led her party, the national league for democracy, n hchld, victory in the general election. her government took power in march the

opportunity zones. other speakers include white house advisor larry kudlow and larry turner who serves on the white house opportunity and reinvitization coufpblet -- council. [applause] >> thank you. you're very kind. thank you very much. i'll be extremely brief especially by my own standards. [laughter] president donald trump has taken steps to rebuild the american economy. with tax cuts and deregulation and energy openings and trade reinstilled growth, prosperity, entrepreneurship. and today we're going to celebrate a part of this program coming out of the tax bill. these are the opportunity and revitalization zones, opportunity zones, which i think are going to grow and prosssper almost more than anybody believes. it's almost like a sleeper. t get ready from private investment capital, right? private investment capital, the old fashioned way. and folks, men and women, starting their own businesses. it will be in the cities and it will be in the rural areas and my great hope is it will take this great

which to take away from their journey into the exclusion zone. with the social might is a a lot of historical facts were conveyed also by the guide lots of interesting details. and we saw quite a lot it was a first hand experience like being in a living museum or cemetery depending on how and look at it it's ok for you of course because as i got alternately it's up to each individual to decide what they gain from this kind of tourism whether it's simply snapshots or more than just memories. some message they want to convey. or a real awareness of what could happen if a reactor blew up in a heavily populated area in france or england on going on his own crate this could happen near paris brussels or london specific might take away is the impetus i feel for the people who live here also it showed me the same thing could happen anywhere else and it would be equally dramatic. and next week i must say the magic is all the way. at the end of their tour the tourists are handed a certificate identifying them as true zone visitors. it's is zero point zero

sf >> so on the pink zone is the safety zone, and the blue zone is the primary outreach zone, and this is the zone that people will be inviting them into. in this blue zone is where we conducted -- hot conducted a count just this last month, and found 179 people experiencing unsheltered homelessness overnight in the blue zones, and this is the blue zone that's where we'll be doing the quarterly count to ensure we're reducing homelessness in the area. >> and another question i need clarification. it might be better directed to the director. there has been a navigation center that was successful and closed. can you explain that because all navigation centers are temporary and this one seems to be in perpetuity. >> yes. there were two centers that have closed. 1915 mission and 1515 south vanness. both we had a 90-day ramp down period in which we eninsurinsu stopped accepting people in the navigation centers and they were transported to a new location. that was a little bit more complicated with 1950 mission as it did not happen right as another site was opening. it was a bit of an overlap

one versus zone two or even have zones in general. having zones in general was an impact that our stakeholders and our property owners were supportive of. i'll go ahead to complete your question and turn it over to tim with mbs. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'll briefly answer your question or what your question is about the use of zones is actually a very common thing. we researched about 20 bids all across the united states and i want to say 70% do use zones for various reasons. clearly with all of the outreach by the union square folks, there was a sense of the core and the other services and so the inner zone will pay essentially about 20% more than the folks in the other zone for the enhanced serviced and that's detailed in the engineer's report. >> i would like to add, soup store, that compared to current services right now, those properties and businesses in zone 2 will be receiving double compared to what we have now. >> wow, ok, thank you. but. >> pleasure. >> another quick thing, in some of the recent cbd renewals we brou

which to take away from their journey into the exclusion zone. with the first one might say a lot of historical facts were conveyed also by the guide lots of interesting details. but then we saw quite a lot it was a first hand experience like being in a living museum or cemetery depending on how to look at it. ok for you of course because i can alternately it's up to each individual to decide what they gain from this kind of terrorism whether it's simply snapshots or more than just memories. the message they want to convey. or a real awareness of what could happen if a reactor blew up in a heavily populated area in france or england on good don't is unclear this could happen near paris brussels or london specific my take away is the empathy i feel for the people who live here also it showed me the same thing could happen anywhere else and it would be equally dramatic. and next week i must say the magic is all the way. at the end of their tour the tourists are handed a certificate identifying them as true zone visitors should be in this group it's

if they can't... 0ften emissions zone or a clean air zone, fine. if they can't...low emission zone, that won't improve it overnight, but usually, it is the biggest single measure you can do from a city's point of view, which is why cities are doing that. in the uk, they are doing that with... a lead time. other cities elsewhere, in germany, for example, who haven't been taking these steps gradually have had the courts they do it by next month. it's doing it gradually, phased, planned is much better than not doing something and then suddenly having to be doing something much quicker without as much warning. how then does this ultra low emission zonein then does this ultra low emission zone in london compared to other schemes you've seen around europe? is one of the best practised ones because they tried to let people know about it, they phase it, if you only want to go in three times a year, it's not worth it, you can pay the charge. in 0slo in norway, they are increasingly having traffic free areas in the city and what a zero emission zone. madrid has got a zero em

three hundred fifty thousand people were evacuated from the zone from one day to the next their lives changed forever. they were resettled in other towns and villages wherever there was room. many today live hundreds of kilometers from their former home. and they say why but they walk through an old. community and it's a substantial. role for psychological trauma it's not about what i mean to be true it's about would the loss of collect their way to. their old selves and lead to a place. that maybe while life has returned to some villages in the zone like in cuba about thirty kilometers southeast of the reactor. and her husband even were resettled following the disaster. they had nothing but the clothes on their backs when they arrived at their designated destination a village one hundred kilometers away but they were never welcome there. did a man on the phone who does some of the locals wanted to stop those of us who'd been resettled from using the well. they threw straw and hay into it so we couldn't they said we don't want you hit your contaminated mud to defame it wasn't possible

these are the opportunity and revitalization zones, opportunity zones, which i think are going to grow and prosssper almost more than anybody believes. it's almost like a sleeper. but get ready from private investment capital, right? private investment capital, the old fashioned way. and folks, men and women, starting their own businesses. it will be in the cities and it will be in the rural areas, and my great hope is it will take this great trump prosperity into ever nook and cranie. something we really have never seen before. it's my great honor to serve. and my great honor to introduce president donald trump. [cheers and applause] president trump: thank you very much. please sit down. please. it's a great honor. i want to thank larry. he's been fantastic. we've had a lot of good luck together over the years. he's stepped up to the plate and and our country is doing well with the hottest economy in the world who are by far the biggest economy of the world. we weren't. when i first came it was headed in the wrong direction. now we're in the right direction. our trade deal with china

it does not change the zoning. in this case if the rear yard modification is granted it does not mean the project is not consistent with the underlying zoning. it includes the option of requesting a rear yard modification. issue would be resolved through a conditional use appeal as it is related to the building permit. if this was a conditional use appeal, i certainly believe this topic, this year yard modification issues would deserve a modification and one i'd participate in. additionally if the subject property had required a zoning change for example, increasing the height or density through a special use district, i believe we would need to have a discussion around ceqa implications. so as we sit here today, the rear yard modification is not within the scope of ceqa because the underlying zoning has not changed. again, i want to thank everyone who came out. these are not easy. especially when you see the concerns and have a body of law before you and have facts and evidence before you and you have to weigh tha

you know, where zones -- zoned for rh-1 and where we have higher density zoning. i think we cannot talk about the social justice city when we have zoned such inequality to opportunity advancement and you know, education into our code. so i am one that thinks, yes, we should densify. we should also make sure that we're taxing equityably. which brings me to the other point. i think that, you know, we're almost there with the numbers from market rate housing. but the reason market rate housing is produced is because somebody makes a profit out of it. and that's how we're finding most of our affordable housing. i think that is crazy. if like the main source of affordable housing production is market rate pruks pro introduction and we have such low production of affordable housing, how are we going to catch up? that makes no sense to me. as a city, i will challenge to find a way to permanently find on affordable housing production that does not depend on market rate production, because if that is the case, the math doesn't work. we'll never catch up. [please stand by]

we're here to celebrate opportunity zones. who would have thought this was going to be so successful? who would have thought when we first proposed idea, things like this have been talked about but it never happened but the numbers are incredible what happened in very short period of time. it's a crucial part of our new tax law to help low income americans. as you know this vital provision gives businesses a massive incentive to invest and create jobs in our nation's most underserved communities. i want to thank secretary steve mnuchin and secretary ben carson who are right here and they are. [laughter]. they're waving to me through the door. and that's okay. just stay there, fellows. they already heard from you. [laughter] [applause] and they're doing a great job those two. and for their tireless work on behalf of nearly 35 million americans living in opportunity zones, tremendous community. since we passed our historic tax cuts and reforms just over one year ago wages are rising fast and they're rising most quickly for the l

why have they voluntarily entered a contaminated zone. and then more samples on it was a hugely significant event that happened here three decades ago to my home for me it's an opportunity to see what's happened here since what i've been on till now although that's also because of current debate on phasing out nuclear power in europe because that was the. way for to better understand why nuclear power plants need to be closed i want to see what happened here your vaunted of my parents are thrilled about me coming here neither is my girlfriend was mona's or the fortunately we already have kids so she needn't worry on that account that month before the future home is enormous about. how hazardous is the zone today. he did breach the tourists. one block for exploded on april twenty sixth. one nine hundred eighty six the burning reactor spewed radioactive debris and isotopes into the air. the toxic material and dust contaminated huge swathes of land. the cleanup began immediately some eight hundred thousand liquidators were drafted in serving

it'll cover the area inside the zone, but in 2021, inside the zone, but from 2021, it will expand tode the north and south circulars, taking in thousands more vehicles. this is a first step but it is a tiny bit of london, it needs to be much bigger, it needs to go beyond the north and south circular, no one should be left out of the clean air zone. the mayor said his scheme was necessary. i think this is an issue of social justice, it is unacceptable in the worlds greatest city, we have children in the poorest parts of london, suffering the worst air who have permanently underdeveloped lungs, and it's the poorest families. expanding the zone will face opposition but supporters say tomorrow is a crucial step forward in cleaning up london's air. commemorations have been taking place in rwanda — to mark the 25th anniversary of the genocide in which eight hundred thousand people were killed. sunday's events included a candle—lit vigil in the country's capital kigali. a flame of remembrance was lit by paul kagame. he led a rebel force that ended the slaughter, and went on to become the co

so it's ths zone that will stay quite cloudy.i think, for some of the sheltered glens of scotland first thing. through the day, we keep that weak front, bringing some cloud and showers from south—east england through the midlands, into wales, perhaps one or two showers getting into southern parts of northern ireland. elsewhere a lot of dry and sunny weather. a few showers for the isles of scilly, perhaps towards the channel islands as well. a little bit misty and murky around some of these north sea coasts, but elsewhere, after a murky morning, the mists should clear to leave plenty of sunshine, particularly for the likes of western scotland, northern ireland and north—west england. temperatures between around about 10—17, so still reasonably mild through the day on monday. monday night and into tuesday then, this weather front sticks around in the south so more of that heavy rainforsimilarareas, southern england, south wales as well. again, it's looking like a frost—free night and we are likely to see some mist and fog forming.

how are you feeling today about trade on the euro zone and the impact on the economies? >> well, first of all, as it regards the euro zone and eu economy, indeed, this year we see some economic slowdown. but at the same time, it says -- it must be said that the eu is currently at the 7th year of continuing economic growth. all 28 eu member states are growing. employment levels are at record high. unemployment is down to pre-crisis levels. so, all in all, we can say we're in a good part of economic cycle, very currently in very good economic times. if you look, also, this in the context of global economy developments, the latest forecast published by imf, which forecast global economic slowdown this year to some 3.3% and then rebounding next year again, maybe in a range of 3.5%, 3.6%. and similarly, we follow this tendency in europe, so we have a slowdown as of this year and are expecting to rebound somewhat next year. so there, i would say we're indeed in line with the global tendencies. then, what is impact of trade -- what is the impact of trade tensions on this? this

a mile up the road is the congestion charge zone, which is going to be the ultra low emission zone.. that's a lot of money to pour on people and a lot of money to small businesses. scientists say there's more and more evidence that air pollution can harm our health, and although traffic isn't the only cause, the hope is reducing the number of vehicles coming into the centre will cut the pollution by nearly half. and of course it isn't just london where there is a problem. birmingham is planning to charge drivers next year. similar schemes will follow in leeds, glasgow, greater manchester and others. a move many drivers disagree with but now accept. we can't look back in 20 years' time and say, "well, we protected the rights of drivers, we protected the rights of businesses to drive big vehicles around, and it's a bit of a shame but some people have died about it." you know, you can't have it both ways. only on the worst days can you actually see air pollution hanging in the air. but the damage can be done by gases and particles that are invisible. the hope is the new zone will quick

single-family zoning is the one-size fits all solution. and increase the affordable housing built in san francisco. and there's a concern for lots under 10 units, and if you're concerned the tenant's protection is to build a registry. there's a bill to try to enforce this. this is about more than just san francisco. it's about our neighbors to the south. we voted for less parking and zoning. it's time to export those values to the rest of california. a local control could not make coop coopertino to build more. we can voe now. it's in our power. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm fred mullheim a resident of district 8 and in support of resolution s.b.50. i think there's one amendment to s.b.50 that could really turn it around. it would make it an affordable housing bill rather than one that just benefits builders. any statutory upzoning senate bill 50 would allow should be restricted to non-profit affordable housing. i'm also concerned about loss of local control. in the future supervisors will rule on whether public land will be t

the world's first ultra low emissions zone has come into force, here in london.t's seen as one of the most radical anti—pollution policies in the world. polluting vehicles — from motorbikes to lorries — will pay a charge to drive into the centre of the city. and with air pollution in our cities such a big problem, will other countries follow? tom edwards reports. this is the clean air choir, organised by mums who support the new ultra low emissions zone. pollution is a worry. we all need to think what impact air pollution is having on our children right now, on all of us. and road transport is the major source of air pollution in london. on this map, red and yellow show the high levels of pollution near roads. older, more polluting cars will have to pay to enter central london, with the worlds‘s first ultra low emissions zone. petrol vehicles over 1a years old and diesel vehicles over four will have to pay the charge, £12.50 every day, and it runs 21w. motorbikes and hgvs will also have to comply. and the best way to check if your vehicle is compliant is to go on

as of now we got the relief from the full euro zone the composite flash number has come in at 51.3. this has been below the expectation of 51.8. it is also weaker than the 51.6 number registered in march the numbers have disappointed yet again. they're coming in at 51.3 versus 51.8 at the consensus poll let's give it a little bit more detail, though the flash services pmi number has come in at 52.5. this is weaker than what we had in march at 53.3 it is a three-month low. it is also weaker than the consensus poll going into this the manufacturing numbers weaker there eminating from germany those numbers have come in 47.8. also, weaker than the reuters poll of 47.9, and that number was 47.5 in march. i guess if you really want to find some positivity in this, we are seeing a little bit of an improvement on the manufacturing side of things, but still, overall the picture is still pretty bleak when it comes to manufacturing. and that overall number as well. early half of the day we had detail on germany and france as well let's bring in -- neil sharing group chief economist from capita

but was well outside the flood zone in many cases. in fact, 80% of the flood losses from hurricane harvey were outside of that 100-year flood zone. i absolutely refuse to use that term, that 100-year flood zone but it was mentioned. >> sorry. >> any home can flood. doesn't matter if you're inside or outside of a flood zone. you might be required to have flood insurance inside that zone. but everybody should have it. because there's a nonzero probability that your home will flood. by the way, your homeowners insurance does not cover flood losses. it doesn't. if you're relying on the federal government, you're going to get much less than you would from your insurance company. for example, hurricane harvey, harris county, texas. on average we provided $4,000 to the average -- to the disaster survivor on average in harris county, texas. i'm proud that we put $4,000 into survivors' hands. but $4,000 isn't going to make you whole. if you lost everything, $4,000 is a drop in the bucket. but if you would have known that your homeowners insura

we should update our zoning to allow this. we community and resident who live here should do this through community-led planning process. san franciscans need the opportunity to plan for development in our own neighborhood. we need to build affordable housing for our community needs not developers bottom lines. i'm happily to clarify any questions from you colleagues. >> supervisor peskin: you want to acknowledge and appreciate your leadership on this issue mr. chairman. obviously, for those of you who remember, i had the laboring or last year on that. i'm glad that there are other supervisors stepping into the breach. i wanted to say at the outset of this item number 5, unfortunately, i'm the quorum in half an hour. supervisor fewer who is of similar mind as me on this issue has agreed to sit in for me and has been assigned by the president to sit in. >> supervisor fewer: sb50 does nothing to fulfill affordability in our housing market and housing stock and actually potentially even add to more unaffordability especially in m
