employees depending on what time of year during the summer more and during the winter a little less. my wife adalaide runs the business, and ghirardeli square got sold a year and a half ago, jamestown group, first class group but they're going to renovations and it's hurting our sales. it was one of the reasons we decided to pursue the alcohol. the representatives of vom pass and we have literally thousands of people asking for alcohols. they come over from the u.s. and europe. they want to give them as gifts and they will take a 20-dollar taxi ride from the fairmonth arrive we're vom fass and not realize we're a spice store and we don't have

spirits as my wife will tell you we have people get mad at us and they're low end spirits and we're not handling jim beam or anything else except wines. we are supportive of california and made the lobby to be the only store in california to handle these olive oils. we're going to handle wines that are 100% organic and we farmed many from california and we frankly have not been at profitability and we were up 25% and now down 10% because of the construction and the noise and we hope we can do this and we think we did our share of community support. we have donated materially to the san francisco food bank, save the bay, the boys and girls

club in conjunction with mccormick and colletteos and open meal handling with ghirardeli chor lat and the aquatic senior center so we hope we can make this a substantial successful business and be able to be a better part of the community. >> thank you very much. just for the record we have been joined and i will turn it over to supervisor eric mar, the chair of the committee. thank you very much for the presentation and for the record i know that supervisor farrell whose district this is in is supportive of this so thank you very much. best of luck to you. >> thank you all. >> mr. chair. >> thank you, so we heard from lieutenant fal zone and the project sponsor mr. pollastro and now let's open it up for public comment. is there anyone from the public to speak seeing

i'm nicole and lindsey, i like the fresh air. when we sign up, it's always so gratifying. we want to be here. so i'm very excite ied to be

here today. >> your volunteerism is appreciated most definitely. >> last year we were able to do 6,000 hours volunteering. without that we can't survive. volunteering is really important because we can't do this. it's important to understand and a concept of learning how to take care of this park. we have almost a 160 acres in the district 10 area.

>> it's fun to come out here. >> we have a park. it's better to take some of the stuff off the fences so people can look at the park. >> the street, every time, our friends. >> i think everybody should give back. we are very fortunate. we are successful with the company and it's time to give back. it's a great place for us. the weather is nice. no rain. beautiful san francisco. >> it's a great way to be able to have fun and give back and walk away with a great feeling. for more opportunities we have

volunteering every single day of the week. get in touch with the parks and recreation center so come >> we came to seven straight about 10 years ago. -- 7th street about 10 years ago. the environment is huge. it is stronger than willpower. surrounding yourself with artists, being in a culture where artists are driving, and where a huge amount of them is a healthy environment. >> you are making it safer. push, push.

that is better. when i start thinking, i see it actually -- sometimes, i do not see it but when i do, it is usually from the inside out. it is like watching something being spawned. you go in, and you begin to work excavate play with the dancers, and then things began to emerge. you may have a plan that this is what i want to create. here are the ideas i want to play with, but then you go into the room and there maybe some fertile ideas that are becoming manifest that are more interesting than the idea you had initially set out to plan. so there has to be this openness for spontaneity. also, a sense that regardless of the deadline, that you have tons of time so the you can keep your creativity alive and not cut it

off and just go into old habits. it is a lot like listening. really listening to watch what is going to emerge. i like this thing where you put your foot on his back. let's keep it. were your mind is is how you build your life. if you put it in steel or in failure it works. that works. it is a commitment. for most artists, it is a vacation and a life that they have committed themselves to. there is this notion that artists continue to do their work because of some kind of the external financial support. if that was taken away, artists would still do their art. it is not like there is a prerequisite for these things to

happen or i will not do it. how could that be? it is the relationship that you have committed to. it is the vocation. no matter how difficult it gets, you are going to need to produce your art. whether it is a large scale or very small scale. the need to create is going to happen and you are going to have to fulfill it because that is your life. >> hi, i'm lawrence corn field. welcome to building san francisco. we have a special series, stay safe. we're looking at earthquake issues. and today we're going to be talking with a residential building owner about what residential building owners and

tenants can and should do before earthquakes and after earthquakes. ♪ ♪ >> we're here at this wonderful spur exhibit on mission street in san francisco and i have with me today my good friend george. thanks for joining me, george. and george has for a long time owned residential property here in san francisco. and we want to talk about apartment buildings and what the owner's responsibilities might be and what they expect their tenants to do. and let's start by talking a little bit about what owners can do before an earthquake and then maybe after an earthquake. >> well, the first thing, lawrence, would be to get together with your tenants and see if they have earthquake

insurance or any renters insurance in place because that's going to be key to protecting them in the event of a quake. >> and renters insurance, there are two kinds of insurance. renters insurance coffers damage to goods and content and so forth. earthquake insurance is a separate policy you get after you get renters insurance through the california earthquake authority, very inexpensive. and it helps owners and it helps tenants because it gives relocation costs and it pays their rent. this is a huge impact on building owners. >> it's huge, it really is. you know, a lot of owners don't realize that, you know, when there is an earthquake, their money flow is going to stop. how are they going to pay their mortgages, how are they going to pay their other bills, how are they going to live? >> what else can property owners do in residential rental housing before an earthquake? >> well, the first thing you want to do is get your property assessed. find out what the geology is at your site. get an expert in to look at structural and nonstruct
