Commission about getting involved in or making a condition of approval a private agreement among or between private parties. And so to make a private agreement a condition of approval for the commission is often fraught with legal difficulties. One other thought i had, and perhaps this is where commissioner johnson was going with the Development Agreement thought is that there are other circumstances in which the city establishes an Optin Program. Maybe home sf is an example, that a developer may choose to avail themselves of a particular set of benefits that the city offers in return for which the developer may offer more than is otherwise sort of the baseline requirements, so there are other mechanisms that the city could use and other circumstances where the city could have these additional requirements as part of sort of an Optin Program where a Development Gets a particular set of benefits from the city, and then, would agree to offer Additional Community types of benefits.

Perthe chair, hes allowed to ask, but i just get tired of people rushing to the podium, please. Commissioner fong ill ask you, what is the relationship, official or not with la cocina, because obviously its a great local organization. Yeah, im sorry for sort of rushing up. Weve been working with them for a long time, number of months, not years. There is nothing written. There is an mou out there. Both sides are committed to working together, and i dont want to speak for people who are not here, but there are reasons just beyond whats on the paper why someone isnt here from la cocina as to their commitment on this program. Commissioner fong okay. And regarding the art program, what is the understanding with regard to any potential art programs, are they on a pdr space or on actual physical walls at the moment, and mr. Hernandez has brought up if theres going to be any opportunity, lets keep it local. Well, what weve done is retain a local district to listen to the latino Arts District
Supervisor second. Commissioners, since we have time not that we want to sit and debate the design, since commissioner richards has provided a dissenting voice on the facade, but it sounds like a majority of the commission is okay with the facade as is, i will weigh in from the urban design teams perspective, we did find the facade was a good way of knitting the building with the existing elements. It would help to provide a strong reelthshlationship to we existing relationship is, so it was a nice meld of new and old. Vice president richards i agree on the intent. Its just the result, so was there talk of a set back of even 3 feet or 5 feet . I dont think there was talk of a set back. Because of its location on the corner, we felt strongly that the massing needed to anchor the corner, so maybe we could work with the architect to find a detail to find more reveal on the facade, and im sure knowing the architect, its something he can potentially find and explore. Vice president richards
Great . Its not just obamacare that controls us. Control freaks are all over government and proud of their work. It takes a long time to put the legislation together to control the people. Has there been due process . No. The nanny state is alive and well. Theyre such control freaks, and thats stossels show tonight. Announcer and now john stossel. Stossel the control freaks in washington really want to run your life. We start tonight with obamacare. The administration and its eagerness to pass a law that would let government rule over Health Insurance wanted to make sure Insurance Companies are on its side. How could it do that . Obamacare forces Insurance Companies to cover much more stuff. Ensures new democrats wouldnt sharply raise rates. They would tell Insurance Companies, if you lose money, dont worry. Well bail you out. But they didnt want to call it a bailout. Theyre unpopular. Instead, the administration used an obscure term, risk corridors. Thats why i embarrassed myself by d
