Still in line to in case of a default, the city will be made whole. But again, these kind of projects, they tend to refinance every 15 years with housing tax credits or through other public loan programs. And in many cases we are repaid.

So, i dont believe that there is risk to the city and, in fact, the 55year term loan will ensure th...

The labor code provides for the state labor commissioner to enforce. The state labor commissioner is not going to enforce a prevailing wage requirement on a privately funded San Francisco project.
