Even the New York Times is hammering about this. Thats the tipping point. At this point if i were to guess whats happening behind closed doors is, that obamas circle is telling him its time to look like you are doing some work. I is coming back to washington on sunday. As planned. Not early. And he came back for a couple meetings this week. Which we still cant find out what he was doing. He also went to a Wedding Party when he was back here this week as we talked about earlier. So, i think, you know, they are getting the message. He needs the golf is just a symptom of a problem. The golf is not the problem. The president s golf. The look of detachment and just position of his actions when it seems like the middle east is falling apart and american brutally killed. What is the president doing . It looks like he is he just recreating and not really taking his job seriously. Part of a larger pattern of disengagement. Thats a bigger proper. Any democrats disserved by this . We havent seen
threshold. we see the housing trust fund as a way to generate or build close to 10 times those units, so in terms of a cost-benefit analysis to have broad support or a housing trust fund, part of that coalition building includes incentive programs that could result in that scale of unit production. that is the cost benefit analysis. supervisor campos: and if i may, why have that in there at all? what is the benefit? it is to provide a clear choice and a clear preference to building units on site. although we make good use of the fees, when we receive fees, they go to support 60% below, when developers choose to build on side, we can tend to a constituency in san francisco that is hard at the office of the mayor to support, so it has a policy basis to provide an incentive to make that choice, and then the potential stimulus of effects, and you will hear from folks today talking about the importance of this marginal reduction. we actually feel like a fairly modest one, and an
the coming years supporting strategies and particularly financial mechanisms to truthfully improving because that s where the problem is. i wish that they would support transit first policies on our streets that enable muni to run more efficiently. such as removing car lanes. i wish that these folks would come out in support of property tax increases on commercial property in particular, some kind of prop 13 reform. congestion pricing, parking pricing that goes into the transportation system because that s really where the con none drum is. this is a policy document. i you know i wish that the commeedia would get that and media would get that and more folks would get that. actually in my opinion it is quite watered down. i would like to see stronger language about density equity throughout the city. my neighborhood, mark and octave octavia, we have agreed through a con sense us process to accept 6,000 housing units. we don t want all the cars. we wish that the housing ele
march 24, 2011, the h.c.d. approval of draft etc. this is very new. i had put in a public records request, also known as sunshine request for communication tass go back and forth from h.c.d. to the planning department and i never received this in advance so this is first time i ve seen it. in fact, the entire language in ishing is pretty much underlined to show that it is all new language and i think that i request that this ceqa finding not be adopted today because this is all rather new. thank you. good evening, commissioners. i m rather disappointed and dismayed because the basis of the housing element, a lot of it is based on smart growth, transit policy and it was interesting because last month, february, february 24, as a matter of fact, it was there was a hearing regarding 375 and stated the importance of collaborating with the transit agency to have transit and land use, consider it together for the future and in this case, it has not be been done. the housing
incentive more than just removal of inclusionary. that s the direction i m taking and encourage the staff and the supervisor to look at ways that we can provide more incentives. president miguel: commissioner olague. vice-president olague: i want to include the right to private action, the comments said before. i know he couldn t look into it and he can explain it. is that right? did i get that right in the event that we can t monitor. yeah. ok. and then, i think in the spirit of smart growth, which is something of encouraging that s why i was you know asked the staff to, you know, to encourage near transit corridors, but along those lines, to explore the relaxation of parking requirmentse is critical and many students don t own cars, they ride their bike. we should look atlanta making sure there are student bike spaces and car share i don t know but maybe to look at these alternatives to owning cars president miguel: commissioner? i want to make it clear my opp
