One of several housing bills approved by the state Legislature Earlier this month. This bill, sponsored by senators , mandates many elements in the planning process and forces by right approval for many projects. It has been amended many times. I have given up on trying to read it, and understand it. Your work here looks like, you know, planning for dummies, so clear, so understandable when compared to the state legislature and the bills. It is unbelievable. I am asking you to help us understand what this means for the city of San Francisco . Ive had to appeal on planning of projects, that have been proposed. I have worked with other neighbors who have wanted to help shape a project where there is elements that are impacting them personally. I know you see these every week, and i appreciate the time you take to listen to these, and resolve them.

This is not just the inability of so many workers to find housing in our city today, but also how the income inequality that we have created in the city , is affecting every decision that we make. We keep acting as though the housing crisis is entirely separate from the growth of income inequality. Going back to that research that the Directors Team produce. In 1990, folks that made over 200,000 made up 9 of the city residents. Today they make over 27 of city residents, adjusted for inflation.

When that limit is reached, if you look at all of the newspaper articles right now, building slows down. Until we address that, we are not going to solve this
prices are rising faster than they have done for a0 years in the uk. the bank of england says the recent increases in energy hills, which are set to be three times more than they were a year ago, will drive inflation the rate at which prices rise even higher, to 13%. uk inflation hit that a0 year high injune, reaching 9.a%. july s figures are released in a few hours and there is a real chance that headline uk inflation could hit double figures. joining me now is liz martins, uk economist, hsbc welcome and it is good to have you on the programme. what do you on the programme. what do you think? do you think we will hit double digits today and if so how significant is that? that is our forecast that we get to exactly 10% year on year injuly and some of our fellow economists don t think it is quite that bad they say nine point 8% perhaps but 9.8, ten, these are incredible figures that even a few months ago we would have found hard to believe. yesterday we had the labour mark
largest economy. industrial output is lagging and house prices have fallen at theirfastest pace in a decade, highlighting the continued strains in the property sector. retail sales though have performed better than expected. so what does this all mean for china s recovery and the global economy? let s unpack all this with our asia business reporter sura njana tewari. markets in asia here are very conscious that make cautious about that mixed bag of data coming out of china. retail sales were up by 3.7% in may and that was better than april s 2.3% growth and beat many project projections with the government crediting labour day holidays and trade in programmes to encourage consumers for all of the appliances as well as shopping festivals as reasons for the improved sales. still, though, it was the third lowest reading since last august and may not do much to overcome concerns about a lack of demand in the country and spending. house prices fell at the fastest pace in a deca
