They will be moving out, and moving forward, its my understanding that its to be used, the 235,000 cost or the gap that mohcd has for developing housing, times that by the 150 and thats how we got the number. Commissioner richards okay. I wondered. Every single live work unit that was approved in San Francisco has an n. S. R. On it and saying its not housing, its commercial. And so academy put students in the housing pardon me in the buildings and considered it to be student housing, but they didnt comply with the law oliv on livework units.
