>> i was aware there was another unit but i didn't know it was an illegal unit whchl -- when i saw the huge bill, they said it was a single house. it's not supposed to be two apartments. >> that is the situation with your landlord, not with the tenant, correct? the landlord should have disclosed that certain portion of the utilities whether it's illegal or not, the landlord should have definitely explained that. >> she says i'm pa -- paying for the entire utilities in the back both apartments for water and electricity. i knew that i was paying for both apartments, i didn't know it was two separate apartments. >> you would still be stuck with a double bill. do you agree to pay water and electricity for two units? >> yeah, but that would be that i can call p g and e. >> in your own agreement you agreed to pay for both? >> for both apartments. >> then you have nothing to complain about if you agreed to it. i don't understand why you are arguing that you -- >> because when it comes to pg & e bill there is an amount that is considered under a reasonable rate. above the rate? >> if you enter

so the flat is this unit right here. the two units are 3562. the third unit is 165. it's on the backside of the building and david will explain to you that the backside of the building was the same level of san bernardino avenue years ago. what happened the city decided they were going to raise the height of the street to make it higher and that took the backside of the building >> put that back to the mick please to get it into the record. >> - required that the height of the street basically up about 9 feet higher and it made the entrance to the building t you have to go down 5 or 6 stairs to get to that level and two fleeths. and this packet we distributed to the building department basically has photographs of this beautiful building now you should have them now and on the backside. there's the backside it's to germany radical avenue. they kit away two stories by putting up this wall. this is what you walk down those steps to get to the entrance of the unit. there's nothing wrong with that in the 20s and 30s and they say it was built with stuff they had laying ar

thomas you've only got a 3 unit building here this permit says 4 units. oh, my god i thought it was resolved. this is going to a legal unit and maybe somebody didn't get the memo. so any way i you can help me i appreciate it >> can i just clarify one thing i released that the lawsuit the code enforcement in my office was taking care of that. >> i think we have a comment from the deputy. >> there is a standard for - the appellant could go to the fourth floor and do a 3 hour report and he could a appeal the 3 unit and heel meet with a member of staff that will be on the 3rd floor. that member of staff will make the determination of how many units and if we agree with him there's evidence of the fourth unit i'll go to planning and that's how the process works. and he'll get a clear process of how many units there are >> that's what the appellant did do. >> so obviously - i would like to make a motion to continue this for one month and just vote on that. if we have to vote let's vote and i second that motion >> on the question what is to happen in this one mo

thomas you've only got a 3 unit building here this permit says 4 units. oh, my god i thought it was resolved. this is going to a legal unit and maybe somebody didn't get the memo. so any way i you can help me i appreciate it >> can i just clarify one thing i released that the lawsuit the code enforcement in my office was taking care of that. >> i think we have a comment from the deputy. >> there is a standard for - the appellant could go to the fourth floor and do a 3 hour

charter is quite clear the united states like all other member nations of the united nations can only go to war as an act of imminent self-defense but in fact the united states by arrogating to itself the right to war anywhere against anyone all the time is clearly in violation of international law but president obama. says the administration does not violate anybody's sovereignty because it operates in consultation with the governments concerned the whole population of pakistan their parliament unanimously remotely oppose drone strikes and yet they continue so maybe the administration is in consultation with the government there but certainly not the people i'm going to check on me today was brian becker with the answer coalition from our studio in washington thanks for watching. germany has told the european commission it won't get behind the plan to impose tariffs on some chinese imports as part of attempts to stave off a trade war with asia's biggest economic engine the e.u. accused beijing of a dumping goods of the market below cost price undermining its european rivals but china

that's about 15 hundred units and those units receive a higher level of city funding and also receive support from other departments so they're able to help with the reentry population. so we asked those unit to provide the access. we have more affordable providers and their expected to screen but the policy allows them a little bit more discretion. so folks with children will be more careful to be accepting individuals with say criminal sex cases. those are the units you see think 0 the list before you although unfortunate we don't have a large reentry units but we're getting more. >> how did you decide if 55 was sufficient and what's our interaction with the probation department and sheriff's department in making those decision. >> sure. you know the mayors offense of the housing has about supportive of housing for inmates for a long time. you're not seeing the reflection of the current priorities of the city but honestly historical housing hadn't been for funding >> so is there communication with the sheriff's department is there a target you have in mind. >> we haven't received im

this is something that looking at secondary units and possible legalization of secondary units is something that i have looked at since i first came into office. in fact, when i was running for supervisor back in 2008, the chronicle asked me what do i wanted to work on? i said legalizing secondary units and i actually said "legalizing in-laws." at that time. so how to maintain affordable housing and i think as we work together on any legislation around legalization of in-laws that we consider the nuances that come from different neighborhoods in san francisco. what happens in the excelsior, and lakeview can be very different than what we see in terms of secondary units in the richmond or sunset or western edition. i think those considerations need to be made and i think it's important as we move forward that we know in terms of differences in our different neighborhoods. so colleagues i look forward to working with you on that. i think lastly i want to say, when it comes to secondary units in the excelsior and we are thinking about how san francisco is a city that is losing its families wit

and notice that i said units. we do not know the numbers of people displaced and no one knows what happened to them. tired, worker, i often woner how much longer the department store clerks that are (inaudible) the home care workers and the hospital workers and the teachers will be able to live in this city where they work, we cannot allow our city to be only for those who can pay a million dollars for housing. so we will come a long, healthy moratorium on conversions. we especially cheer the ones who want affordable replacing housing as the 2500 units go through the conversion process over the next six years after which begins the moratorium. one thought comes to mind on this subject. not everybody can be a home owner but everybody needs a home thank you very much. >> next speaker. >> my name is (inaudible) ricum and i am the board of small property owners and a mom who raised three kids in this city. i read yesterday's chronicle that the board has decreed a year in the family and family friendly policies and pre

united states for a short time. companiese need these -- these people. countries like denmark, finland, greece, iceland, netherlands, sweden have very few native speakers here in the united states. if they cannot find united states person, they should be allowed to get them. maximum stay is 12 months, and then they have to go home. we require the state department to publish a list of eligible countries each year. first i would ask unanimous consent with the chairman's ok that the second-degree amendment be added. i would ask the amendment be voted for. i think it is relatively noncontroversial. >> aye. >> how to read it more carefully. speak the shortest seem to be doing the best. next is senator sessions. no. 6. >> thank you, mr. chairman. well, it is similar to the vote we took this morning so i will not ask for a vote on it. i will tell you i really believe we need to complete the biometrics entry exit system that congress has told the american people for nearly two decades that we are going to complete. we have

we ask the board to receiver the order finding it was an accessory unit and an illegal unit. upon that took place i want to emphasis that the parties were on the one the brink of the - it recognize that the parties met at the project and i'll show one of the pages from the record of the department. i'll show you a record from a year ago >> could you pause for one minute please. we're out of order - >> is it codified we go in a certainty order? the department is supposed to get the - >> i apologize i should have been stopped sooner. >> thank you members the board chief housing inspector. are we going to be taking items one and 2 at the same time from section a? we could to save time >> so just briefly since this is a request for jurisdiction on assessment of costs so the question is whether or not you want to get into the merits of this case. let me tell you on the issue of this apartment the position is not the departments that was an accessory commercial use the property owner hired this structural engineer to research the fact there wasn't a previous building permit to lega

show two units on that. so this permit is the one that has the record up to three units and it's wrong. that's what i see anyway here. if i was looking at it as something as today, i would say it's the same thing. it's an error. i think that's the current owners and the permit application has single family dwellings. maybe they were working in one of the units. they will put down single family dwelling. if our staff don't check that at plan check, it goes out and issued and then the building inspector that signed off the project put three dwellings which conflicted. these things happen. i definitely think the 1987 permit for the cfc for two family dwellings is the correct one. there was nothing to change it to 3 or 4. we would have recognized that one as a proper cfc. that's the way i see it. if i'm missing something, maybe the attorney will point it out. the special restrictions is with the 1987 permit documents. >> thank you. >> i have a question. so would it be asking you regarding the requirement. there

and the industry in the united states was the only distribute united states had the only -- the united states had the only major undestroyed industry in the world. our dollar became the method of currency for the globe, american industry penetrated into every corner of the globe and american no-how and ingenuity was established across this planet. that -- know how and ingenuity was established across this planet. that's because of the pillars of american exceptionalism that i talked about and the spirit of ingenuity. a spirit of ingenuity which is the beneficiary of those willing legal immigrants that came here because they realized that they could achieve their dreams better here than anywhere else. and so the magnet of the american dream has attracted the best and most vigorous people on the plan tote come here. that's the america -- planet to come here. that's the american that i was born into. that's the america that those of us who were born here inherited. many immigrants have come since that period of time to contribute to this american dream, to help redefine this american drea

floor unit and the ground floor? >> that we are aware of? >> i have not been there but it does not sound like it? it sounds like they said that the studio was totally independent. so how could that be? if it is not its own? >> there might be a light, but in the middle of the stairwell, and in the middle of the building in the breezeway and then in the studio. >> and the access from the sides. >> okay. >> and from the sides and behind the garage. >> okay. >> not the front door. >> yeah. the trades man entrance on the side? >> yeah. >> okay. >> for the garage. >> it seems like it is at the rear of the garage and i think that is where it is. >> i see. >> thank you. >> the garage. but just as well, the notice of violation has gone through the enforcement department pretty much as far as it can go and there is an order of abatement issued and so unless it is entered into the city attorney's office that is not going anywhere in our department. we have done everything and we have order ited and got posted in december of 201

it said it's very open to improved relations with the united states but that has to take place on the basis of equality and american acceptance of the islamic republic that's not the washington agenda for the middle east and it drives this very hostile posture toward toward iran judith agree or disagree with what we just heard please. i partially agree and partially disagree i think that what drives american policy in iran remains the fact that the iranian revolution was hostile to the united states we lost a key ally it was very costly to the united states and the revolution like so many revolutions turned out to be quite brutal. the memory of the american embassy hostage is that were taken is still very fresh in our minds so i think that that's probably one of the really major factors that shapes thinking and policy in the halls of power here in washington but right now the united states has two major problems with iran which are quite urgent the obviously the iranian nuclear program and secondly iran's assistance to the brutality in syria that is being perpetuated by the syrian reg

-- oh, in the units? >> yes. >>> no, our rules after 10:00 it's quiet. you call the security -- >> so, you do have restrictionses regarding noise between residential units. >>> we do, yes, we do. >>> uh-huh. >> i'm very familiar with your building. >> i actually have a question as well. so, when you purchased this evidently because it's a condominium, there's hoa, ccnrs. >>> yes. >> that govern, that govern the building, correct? >>> right, yes. >> so, when you purchased it, were you aware that there was going to be a commercial space downstairs? >>> yes. i mean, there was a market there for years and that, though, has been vacant now for 12 years. >> and even though that is vacant when you purchased it, you were aware that there was going to be a commercial -- >>> it is a storage for the residents. that room is all storage and it was quiet. it was all for everyone to have a storage locker for suitcases and things like that. it was -- >> so, the residents decided to sell it and use it -- >>> no, there are

mexico is heavily dependent on the united states of america. we gave them a $60 billion trade surplus last year which is responsible for over 100% of their gdp growth. we buy something like 20 to 25% of all they produce. we buy their oil. so there's a real close relationship here, and barack obama doesn't have to be too reticent in pushing the united states interest when it comes to the cartels and when it comes to the border. >> eleanor. >> i wouldn't call a great relationship where we export all this goods to them, them being dependent on us. i think this new mexican president comes in with a pretty strong hand. the growth in mexico is twice where it is in this country. they discovered some oil in mexico, and i think he's made a decision that he doesn't want to outsource the drug fighting to u.s. police and border guards, that he wants to take over that. it wasn't working under the previous president who had thousands of people who were killed so let's see if his new approach works. the point is, the u.s. isn't the only game for mexico. they'

i'm tom hartman coming up in this half hour a county in new mexico has become the first county in the united states to outlaw gas and oil extraction why did that county choose to fight back against big oil and are more communities across the country planning to do the same thing and bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world and the workers are among the most it's lloyd in the world but despite its poverty in third world conditions still has more of a backbone or moral compass than the united states at least when it comes to corporate criminals i'll tell you why and i'd still take. it as the rise of the new despite its wide wide range of environmental and health consequences the fact is of fracking or extracting shale rock beds is on the rise across the country and because of this growth in fracking the oil and gas industries and even the mainstream corporate media haven't been shy about saying how much our nation could benefit from this natural gas production boom even president obama noted in his state of the union speech that the production natural gas the united states has n

the united states appears to be close. with the. halls of congress. the opposition. and all the top u.s. . military. will bear any fruit. eastwards as a strange palestinian and israeli leaders rush to curry favor beijing rolling out the red. deals for. bloodshed. ultimately forcing me to. give up winning on the campaign trail. thank you very much for joining us here today. live in moscow with your global twenty four hour news. a bill allowing the united states to provide training to syrian rebel factions. congress and the motion is based on allegations the leadership in damascus has resorted to chemical weapons in the country's long lasting civil war. despite u.n. claims it's the rebels who may have been deploying illegal agents and not the government further details. in washington. washington is inching closer to or mean the rebels this monday the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee introduced a bill that would provide weapons to quote some vetted groups of syrian rebels the bill would also give the u.s. government the power to sanction any individual

so the flat is this unit right here. the two units are 3562. the third unit is 165. it's on the backside of the building and david will explain to you that the backside of the building was the same level of san bernardino avenue years ago. what happened the city decided they were going to raise the height of the street to make it higher and that took the backside of the building >> put that back to the mick please to get it into the record. >> - required that the height of the street basically up about 9 feet higher and it made the entrance to the building t you have to go down 5 or 6 stairs to get to that level and two fleeths. and this packet we distributed to the building department basically has photographs of this beautiful building now you should have them now and on the backside. there's the backside it's to germany radical avenue. they kit away two stories by putting up this wall. this is what you walk down those steps to get to thence of the there's nothing wrong with that in the 20s and 30s and they say it was built with stuff they had laying around and her

and all the ways the united states came together. i think it is a very important lesson for us to remember. and as we get away from it -- it has been 12 years since september 11. fewer and fewer people will remember. george wrought a group through recently, and the children were not alive on september 11. they did not have a personal memory of it, like people our age do. i think it is important for all of us to remember the ways that we can come together, and the reasons we should come together. >> one iconic moment -- the bullhorn from manhattan. >> that is right. a lot of the artifacts are here that came from september 11. a lot of letters george received. the program from the memorial service at the national monument. the national cathedral, rather. the badge that arlene howard gave george, to remember her son. even now, when i see these, and when i see this video -- here is the pentagon in flames in the video. i am reminded again of what it was like. the crushing anxiety that came with it. the fear that many of us had. how vulner

there's a transferred property doesn't take a unit away or a conversion away from a unit which has been held for a long time. we think that the policy of favoring family -- [inaudible] >> thank you very much. is there any additional public comment? seeing none public comment is closed. okay. so first we have president chiu's amendments. is there a motion to adopt those motions? >>i will make that motion. >> second. >> can we take those without objection? >> also i wanted to add my name to the legislation as well. >> okay. >> it's already adding added. >> it was? >> i don't think it's been added. >> i'm sorry. >> add supervisor kim as a co-sponsor. can we make that motion to amend without objection? so ordered and colleagues in terms of the amendment that i have circulated -- while i understand the responses from mr. collier and others given the increase in owner occupancy which i am willing to support in the legislation, i think that it makes sense to allow there to be transfers of ownership and under what i am proposing it couldn't be more frequently than three years so you don't see t

the united states, july 1944, the united states was at war, and with more than 10 million soldiers under arms, and deciding at that moment that congress actually deciding from the period january-july 1944 how, if at all, soldiers could devote. recall that the election of 1944 took place after d-day. we had soldiers on the ground in europe, and sailors on ships throughout the pacific. how could they vote? the roosevelt administration supposed that every soldier in the field, that is, soldiers who could not get absentee ballots, should be handed a federal ballot, they could fill it in, write the name dewey or president roosevelt as their preferred candidate for office. instead, a bill sponsored by james eastland of mississippi and john rankin of mississippi passed into law. and that bill was justified by eastland in the following way. these boys, hero, are fighting to maintain the rights of the states. these boys are fighting to maintain white supremacy. that's a precise quote stated on the floor of the u.s. senate. or hear one more voice. the great writer eb white, writing to the "herald"

in those rehabilitated units with not losing a lot of affordable housing units. it's a fine line trying to strive to maintain a balance of those. i just want to highlight a few examples of housing we have produced in the past year. 150 otis, c landmark. it's 75 brand new studio units with full baths and kitchen. it serves homeless veterans. we managed to achieve a hundred percent of the units hundred percent accessible or adaptable. it opened late last year. another project is current under construction is 1075 l.a.cont, around 3rd street. 72 units serving homeless families and transition youth. 10-70 units are adaptable and 10-20 units are serving the visually and hearing impaired. >> next is 1184th street in mission bay. this is a new development of 124 units for serving very low income families including homeless families. 5-7 units will be ak ccessible and with 20 percent for hearing and visually impaired. lastly, this is a project that we are very proud of is 220 golden gate, the adaptive reuse of what is known as the central ymca. that was a rehabilitation

to -- excuse me, three unit occupied units and two for three unit buildings. it would be my desire to have one additional amendment that would allow for transfers of ownership not to interrupt the owner occupancy levels under current law and i believe as the amendments are drafted if there say transfer in ownership in the revised lottery that would then disqualify -- not disqualify, but put the building to the back of the line again. they would need to restart the participation in the lottery. that doesn't benefit tenants. it simply makes it very, very challenging for owners, 200 units maximum will convert each year regardless so the amendment i am proposing doesn't increase the number of conversions. it just has to do with the order of conversions. it will be very challenging for me to support the legislation as amended today by president chiu. with that additional amendment i am very open to supporting the legislation and so i distributed the amendment to you colleagues. i have some extra copies here for the clerk for members of the public. it is an amendmen

it allows only two units. it cites building occupancy units r 3 which is limited to one or two dwelling units. this report is pretty clear at the time that they purchased the property that the legal use of the property was as a two unit building. i don't know why they didn't ask more questions at the time. had they requested the building permit history, i believe that attached to the 1997 the permit reduce number of units is in the copy and that's what they found when they pulled the record for the property. had there been adequate research performed by the department, the department doesn't incur the retention of unit. there is no way this unit was created. the appellant has been unable to restore a third unit of the property. if there was a permit to restore a unit that would be invalidly issued and we have the notice of special restriction. i think that is very clear that they have a good case to get the title insurance for failing to do accurate research. under this theory, there is nothing existed at all

states to explore all options in order to curb the drug trade so right now unfortunately the united states is focused on the supply as opposed to the demand we are one of the most greedy in terms of consuming drugs in the world and you know simple economics tells you that if you cut down the demand that the supply will shrink but we've not done that our whole policy is to go after in latin america in particular to go after that supply to spray fields with poisonous chemicals that are even affecting children such that people are having birth defects you know asthma except that's been our policy so that's why you're seeing presidents like it will morales who are more on that left side really pushing back against the united states because they've experienced first hand what kind of conditionality is come with a lot of the drug war i mean well that would take away the millions hundreds of millions of dollars from these banks that are laundering drug money legally through the fight of course we're not going to see that and do you know not all of the countries are prospering in south amer

inside the unit mr. duffy. >> no that did not happen before tonight's hearing and i think that we talked about it last time and i am willing to work with mr. brian to figure out what needs to be done plan wise and all of the code issues. >> okay. >> he is experienced with these type of permits and if he has been there and looked at it, i don't know if i need to go there as much as if he presented the permit to the building department to use it as a legalized unit and we have seen these type of permits before and as commissioner fung said that the code still legalized the ground floor as without a cooking facility. >> so... and novs from housing. it is actually from dbi and 2010, it is very fair and it just says to the permits and it does not apply with the building permit and to remove the studio and it is not very detailed. and so we might need more time. >> mr. sanchez. >> thank you, the subject property at 669 san jose avenue is located in an rh 2 zoning district, based on the records there are two ex

states is going to go to war with a country in the united states or that the united states will be victim of an attack coming from some from the from sed state actor i just don't i can't imagine that happening ok george i find the definition so vague that it's very helpful to the pentagon and people don't like to go to war for a lot of different reasons george yeah absolutely the enemy changes you know every few years and then that enemy changes back again so so we had a some point that saddam hussein was a friend then he became an enemy. and then we kind of forgot about him then became enemy number one again then back in the ninety's the enemy was suddenly you know you couldn't pick up a newspaper without vehement denunciations of the serbian government and how america has the bombs. they need with any was iraq again then afghanistan at various times you know others of rear their heads you know. rand paul who were there that was also rans i always like your little ranzo you know exactly exactly iran is a pig of a permanent you know sometimes it disappears and then you reappears again so

stops are created in the united states. one of the first agreements we create a high-level that, within its framework would foster trade and commerce with the united states. that for the first time -- and this is probably unprecedented. we will have the mexican economic cabinet with their counterparts from various government agencies from the united states. we have heard from the president and in this group that the vice president will participate to send a dialogue that will result in arrangements in tom's of how the government can support the efforts made by the private sector to have a stronger economic integration. for this purpose, we have agreed in the fall of this year am a this high level group will meet for the first time with the attendance of high-ranking officials working in the area of the economy. we have also agreed to endeavor to joint actions to have a safer order within the framework of the agreement made. thatll have a 20% border was about to be defined. an action agenda. our teams have already set it up.

the united states was in the 20's. north korea, there were 16 countries in the study and north korea was 167. now, no matter what your country is, that's not a good place to be and i think we need to continue that effort. we need to continue -- and as information into north korea increases, i think this nformation is going to have an effect on the leadership. in addition, to -- you've mentioned some of the things -- i talked specifically about radio and video and this type of thing getting in. one of the thing that's also happened, because of some economic improvements with china, there are increasing numbers of north koreans who travel to china and you can't go to china, particularly niese china and see the vibrant chinese economy, the relative freedom, particularly compared to what you see in north korea and not have an inspect on the -- impact on the people who see that. and there are thousands of people who are going back and forth in china and doing it legally from north korea. so i think we continue. it is very h

the unit is passing by this senior commander and. the command sounds and everybody has to turn to the right hand or if there is a banner of the unit so they also have to turn in the position of attention. how many veterans are attending this year we're about number. one who unfortunately every year this now you are serious and less. traditional in this parade is for to see military hardware i think we'll be seeing that relatively soon yeah it will come and actually this is a special time for the russian army because a lot of funds have been invested to upgrade this equipment which was fairly obsolete before because of the poor state of the economy in the one nine hundred ninety s. when. the military reform takes a long time it's not an easy thing to yes it does. it's a very comprehensive program because the military industrial congress of the soviet union was enormous even just to turn them light in their working shops will cost a fortune. but. i just want to remind our viewers who's just actually joined us what we're looking at righ

narrator: over 300 million people live in the united states. and each person uses an average of 100 gallons of water every day. man: what it takes to actually make clean water is somewhat a mystery to most customers. woman: so how does water get from the river into your house, or here at school? woman: somebody has to bring that water to us, and somebody has to take it away when we're finished with it. man: the water infrastructure is vital for disease protection, fire protection, basic sanitation, economic development, and for our quality of life. man: you just can't visualize all the assets that are under our feet. we have about two million miles of pipe in this nation. if you're walking around in an urban area, you're probably stepping on a pipe. man: our grandparents paid for, and put in for the first time, these large distribution systems. woman: and in many cases, it's not been touched since. man: we're at a critical turning point. much of that infrastructure is wearing out. narrator: our water infrastructure is made up of complex, underg

prime minister, welcome to the united states. i'm sorry the weather isn't fully cooperating with our lovely rose garden press conference, but i think we'll be okay. >> thank you. >> translator: mr. president, my dear friend president of the united states, a friend and ally, i'm here to -- i'm once again very pleased to be here in washington to have meetings with the president. i would like to express my thanks for the hospitality that has been shown to us on this occasion on behalf of myself and my delegation. in the president's person i would like to express our condolences for the terror attack that took place in boston. we express our condolences to the american people. we are a country which has been fighting against terrorism for many years. we have lost many lives in that fight against terrorism. and so we very well understand the feelings and sentiments of the american people in face of such an event. as turkey and the united states, we are both determined to continue to fight jointly against terrorism. my dear friends, tu
