unfortunately, the market does not produce housing for middle income housings -- houses. we are also -- we don't see funding sources to meet the need for building middle income housing. the city is a critical source of funding. we provide a critical source of funding for building middle income housing. providing first-time homeownership opportunities for low income households to be able to purchase a home and stay in san francisco. we have an affordability gap in the bond would be helping with that. the $30 million for the middle income housing category would go towards the creation of new affordable housing opportunities for middle income households with assistance loans, purchases for building or land for new construction that would serve middle income households. we would prioritize down payment systems, loans for first-time homebuyers and also we have a teacher next door grant program that serves the san francisco unified school district educators. this would be serving households between the 80-175% and 200% of the ami. this new category of funding under the bond is

of a house should have been this way from the beginning because when you buy your first house we all know the pain of buying the first house when we're putting all our hard-earned cash into one investment. it would be a lot better if we had some diversification and then you can actually get some help buying the house and maybe keep some cash for a rainy day on the side so, going back to co-investing, i would say it really is the way housing should have been from the beginning and, as you pointed out, it has been like this for a long time but it was just done by your parents or your rich uncle. and our goal is really to democratize the rich uncle so that everybody can afford to buy a house but in balance with their income or their life goals, rather than having to able to afford and thenget intthe house owns you. not be so again, it really is the way it should have been from the beginning. joe: i guess one of the drawbacks is that you can't pass your house on to yki sc. ott: cif you own it-- thomas: correct, so you have to--you have to live in the house, correct. you can--the kids, on

host: when it comes to the house map, we saw the house flip in 2018. what is the likelihood or how often hasn't happened in history that the house has flipped in one election and then flipped back the following election? guest: in 1952 and 1954. the house majority has not flipped twice since then. it has not flipped in a presidential cycle since 1952. there are some historical precedents working in democrat'' favor. the democrats have picked up house seats in seven of the last eight presidential cycles. the ship has been in the single digits. republicans need 19 or 22 shift back. in the republicans' favor is the geography of the house. we are still working with a set of lines, boundaries that republicans largely drew in 2011. we are still looking at a map where there are 31 democrats representing seats that .resident trump carried in 2017 there are enough winnable seats out there for republicans to plausibly take back the majority. i do see democrats as the modest favorites for now. host: one of the nice things about "cook political report" is the map

today, we put a bond before the housing that will put $60 million in the housing pipeline. as we continue to chip away at this growing crisis, it has become clear that we have a long way to go, and we need to make sure that we are tracking our progress every step of the way. when we held a hearing on senior housing earlier this year, we heard from countless seniors about their challenges for staying in housing or getting eligible for new projects. by 2030, 26% of the population will be seniors. while many seniors are getting into our senior funded housing units, we learned that only 12% of our current pipeline is designated for affordable senior housing. we also see similar challenges for people with disabilities who are often also on fixed incomes and often ineligible for affordable housing units because they are extremely low-income. this legislation will task the department of ageing and adult services as well as the mayor's office of housing to jointly work together to provide a comprehensive needs assessment of seniors and people with disabilities in san francisco. we

this is the wus ter house. and even on pacific heights it had an eat-in kitchen which is sort of an old-fashioned idea. here is an article that says trade disputes raises costs r kitchen updates. so between the size and how they're dominating the unit and the cost, to me it raises questions of why are we approving big kitchens. here is an example of one. this is from a 311 that got expired yesterday, no dur, it's in nowi valley. here is the kitchen and it basically dominates the floor and upstairs are four bedrooms. so i guess the question is it's rh-2. putting aside the density thing, couldn't you just have three bedrooms and a kitchen and living room on one level, traditional. i just wanted to raise that before your break, think about kitchen sizes. the way they're doing kitchens in these houses is the kitchen becomes the space and there's extra space that's just out there and i think it's just a marketing tool. even if they say it's a living room and dining room and family area, it's just space that's not de

they looked inside the house and they asked me, how much did you pay for that house? and so that sort of took me aback, coming from young men their age, and i said okay, i don't know what relevance is will have to you, but i will answer your question directly. it was less then a million dollars. so they looked around and they said, well, when they tear down our housing when -- where we are now, and they pointed up to the public housing, we are going to get a free house, and then they jumped on their bikes and their left. and i thought to myself, that can't possibly be true, but apparently this is how the story got to them of what was happening to them when this shipyard was developed, and then their places would disappear, and they would move somewhere, and it would be for free. that is what was going on in their minds. so fast forward to last saturday , i went to the bayview opera house for the anti- eviction mapping project, there launch party for the publication of dislocation black exodus. the problem is that this is a much bigger problem than certificates of pref

the houses. this -- i went on the google street view and went up and down the street to see if there was any other place, any other similar circumstance. it doesn't appear that there is a similar circumstance here. i did a very quick sketch, and you probably can't see it, but basically my thought was, with a little bit of carpentry, if you just cut the gable down and build it up, and then take the trim that is above the windows and put it at the top and made a flat to view, i'm not sure that this can be seen, but i can certainly pass it around. it would be a fairly simple way to make it less cartoonish and make it more appropriate to the house. this is just a thought. i'm not saying this is a solution, but i think that the amounts of change that would be required is well beyond what i think is appropriate for this particular problem. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. i did drive by to look at this. in part because i was confused by the fence. i didn't know if the fence was this thing above t

my 1909 house was known as the old easter seal house. it had been donated by charla's -- charles goudreau. even today, people stopped to admire the garden with the stately palm trees. it is not just these people that are affected by these developments, but the entire neighborhood. although the claim has been made, in the record, public comment, see the overhead -- that there was no feedback from the neighbors. i have attended three meetings, in which we neighbors presented the developer with our unanswered questions and objections. twenty-six neighbors have signed a petition opposing this project and ten has submitted individual protest letters. all of the developers underhanded procedures described and documented by others today, the monster size of these houses and the inappropriate design demonstrate a lack of respect for the neighborhood. the developers endeavor to do a log split on a large lot in order to create a new house with a wall that blocks our light and access, amid open space. first of all the proposed acts which overlook o
