Pedestrian activity and long with transit and keeping people on the sidewalk and moving. I want to make sure from my personal perspective that we do everything we can to give Small Business a chance to keep opening in San Francisco. I love this idea of the data that shows that San Francisco retail is still thriving. I think we are probably doing better than most in the country, but i think some of those who are in the landlord business and maybe in the retail business, feel the pressure of filling space and feel the pressure of filling awkward space. Some of the foot plates are very large, and some are teeny tiny with no elevators in them. I always throw a little bit of caution when we put out policy that covers blanket sort of every building possible. There are different scenarios. If you draw a rectangle of a skinny, small building in union square that maybe has a gallery on the third floor and hair salon on the second floor next to a very large any one of the macys or Neiman Marcus

Storefronts are vai cants or abandoned. A number we thought would be relatively easy to get. But it was not in a number of reports and measures made by both city agencies and, of course, private sector real estate companies. But none of them capture the totality of all commercial buildings and storefronts and their vacancy rates.

Postal service, as i mentioned, which reports all commercial addresses that are not receiving mail f

We were criticized last year for having too cozy a relationship with industry, but the reality is, is that when a recall occurs, if the company that has been recalled disagrees with our assessment our recourse so go to court and spend years trying to to litigate that issue while dangerous stuff is on the streets. The alternative is to develop some kind of settlement with the automaker or the oem and, you know usually weve been able to get favorable results that way. But if Congress Wants us to have more teeth, give us the tools so that we can fight those battles directly. And, you know, these are the kinds of things that weve proposed previously, and itd be nice for those issues to be addressed through this legislation. Dave shepardson. East one of those be eith
