Skype today. You have a big day for the dow admittedly, were talking a lot about numbers in the last 15 minutes or so listening to Governor Cuomo go through troubling numbers in new york sta state. 37,000 total cases deaths up 100 in the past 24 hours. Lets keep everything into perspective as were talking about all this and thinking about the folk who is are hurting as a result of this virus. Tell me what youre thinking about today. Youre in the midst of a big day. Could be the best week for stocks since the 1930s yeah, my plan to take trades where i can get them super size core positions. On the show yesterday probably light exposure as the day went on when the market popped 5 yesterday, i found it troubling on top of the big move we had the day before i did take some exposure off late yesterday afternoon still, extremely well invested at this point where it was a week ago in terms of cash.

And i want to tell you that what were seeing right now is not a cycle change. Its a structural change, and i am sure you are aware and seen the retailers and the retailers are shrinking the footprint and it is not the Large Department stores but even tenants that used to be 5,000 feet are shrinking to 1,000 feet and trying to deal with how to market the goods online and cross market both aspects.

This there is, as we all know, a lot of vacancies that are happening.

They are just not there. We have been marketing 146 geary for four years and talking to tenants initially to take the entire building because that works the best fo
From 220 post. The likelihood that a Retail Business would want a stand alone third Floor Office Space that is accessible from an alley that provides minimal foot traffic, marginal street visibility and has some Security Issues is in our opinion simply less than minuscule. On the overhead, i want to post one more image which is looking at the alley from grant street and if you see the orange box, that is where the third floor business is. Pretty tough to see. Pretty unvisible. So with all that said, nothing prevents the third floor and the upper floors being turned back into retail if at some future point that becomes viable. Project does not include any physical changes that would preclude that, so i am going to let the project sponsor speak about the actual efforts to lease this building, but before i go, in your packet, you have support letters that collectively include 41 signatures in support of the project including a leter from members of the Street Building at 210 post which in

I know everybodys happy but [laughter] also incredibly impressed with the outreach the project sponsor did with united save the mission, hence them being here supporting. And also the conditions they did agree to, we really hold in high value. So i really appreciate the project sponsor working diligently with the community.

Commissioner richards. So i accompany commissioner koppel and a few of the folks in th
