Takeaways. T time, democrats and repu case about whether the president committed an Impeachable Offense, or not. The facts that have come to light are very much what the founders had in mind, i think when they provided a remedy. This is an abject failure for the democrats and adam schiff. Reporter acting u. S. Ambassador to the ukraine, william taylor, and george kent testified before the house intelligence committee. Taylor revealed new information about the president s focus on comes from overheard call between u. S. Ambassador to the eu and the president after trumps call with ukrainian president , volodymyr zelensky. The democrats believed the president used his office to extort ukraine to dig up dirt on the bidens, including holding up 400 million in military aid. It was not just the white house meeting that was dependent on the investigations. He said it was now everything. It included the security assistance. Ambassador, you werent on the call were you .

The mayors offices of the neighborhoods, program which is under oewdn. I think they will have a lot of advice to add. Obviously, they are usually dealing with existing neighborhoods and communities in how they can help those neighborhoods. This is a unique situation where we build up a new neighborhood. There are a lot of important lessons there. From my experience on the private side and also as planner, i think there is a important distinction between destination retail and neighborhoods serving retail. From your presentation it makes sense. The areas highlighted in pink is appropriate. Keep in mind that doesnt mean just because you have a robust destination retail plan that it would serve the local community, and i think that echoes some of the directors comments around focusing on the ground floor retail and the first floor apartment buildings and what we are doing there.

Once but twice to get wiped out in San Francisco. The first time was getting off the train at fourth and king and trying to go across the platform. The traffic stopped, so i started walking, and the bike didnt stop and went threw the e red light at 100 Miles Per Hour.

D. Didnt that way you can enforce it. Let me wrap up. The ultimate path to vision zero is the w
