Nhk world ease craig dale is following developments for us. Ban kimoon is just a high level player to get a ceasefire between israel and hamas. Israel launched its offensive in gaza two weeks ago to go after hamas and its allies to stop them from launching rockets at their country.

Housing policy and were glad to seing that the Mayors Office of housing putting in the effort and thank you folks as well. Thank you. Any additional Public Comment . Seeing none, commissioner antonini . Mr. Cowan spoke precisely of what i brought up on a number of instances and that is why i wasnt supportive, because i wasnt really clear on levels. This level that could float in certain instances say for example you brought the ami to 120140 percentile, but you have to produce a higher percentage because your subsidy is less. So therefore, you begin to address the middleclass, because you get a couple of city employees, particularly if they are in Public Safety, and they are way above the levels that would be allowed by this program. They good to try to buy something and part of the provision with prop c, particularly with Public Safety officials, but i think using that in general is a good system.

Numbers, 1200 units,. That is a good track record. As you all know the Housing Trust fund was a big package.

Well, there is an ami level and there is also the 15 onsite and 20 offsite . Im afraid i cant comment on that. I am not familiar with Inclusionary Programs in other jurisdictions. That is a problem for me, because when i am asked to vote on this, i have to know what other places are doing and i think you are doing a good job, but i dont think i can support it at that point, because i really dont have all the information. If it comes up in the future, i would like to hear about it. I also want
