>> tt hais exactly the point. theal mls built in the th20 centy,ur the demd anis changing. that ias fact. thats iwell known. of our city leaders yesterday was stonestown mall which is on the outside of san francisco so not in downtown. not facing some of the same issues with crime and perceived crime and what we have read about in the last weeks. that mall has a hair salon and different programming that engages people and allows people to hang out and come for different reasons. > what of the office vacancies? is it continuing to get more severe? is tech continuing to leave? >> that is the hot topic. yes is the short answer. it is a dire place we are in right now. this year office to 30%.
3:19 pm
inventory keeps growing companies, especially tech companies give up space because they are downsizing. their realizing they don't need as much space because of remote work and other reasons. >> if some of this office space or retail space is turned into housing, are there examples from other metropolitan areas that have seen kind of a change in the ratio of housing versus retail and office and have it work and thrive without as much business activity but more just residents? >> there definitely examples all over the united states. are issue in san francisco is we have leaned heavily into the tech sector, had depended on that as our economic engine and everyone is coming to terms with that now. a lot of our office tenants downtown or tech. . we don't have a lot of housing downtown. we do on the outskirts but not in the core which is the area that is struggling. having a mix is on the city agenda now.
