to find out they were misinformed or not misinformed. we heard there was not clarity in the intense of the legislators, there's not clarity how these different portions of the code interact, although the administrator made the decision, and we might make a different decision. so the question is who bears the brunt of that mistake? and in this case, the city is insisting through the zoning administrator that the burden of that lack of clarity and that mistake rests with the appellant and the applicant who had to figure out how to navigate our process, and i find that conclusion or assertion fundamentally flawed. i would remind my fellow commissioners that there are people who come before us, asking for relief under different provisions of our laws. typically, it's under the

housing provision because we see every day the housing crisis that is in our city. we know our friends and families that are moving away who can't afford to live in this city. and yet, the alarm bells is not rings as hard for the crisis in our small businesses in our city, people who have to pack up and move away, and dreams that aren't coming to fruition. so i would wonder if we could make the same extension to think about the laws that we consider in this particular case, so i would support the motion that's been put on the floor by commissioner santacana. >> president swig: okay. i guess i kind of have a blend for -- first of all, i think -- i think this has been a lesson, and i'm glad the legislative aide is still here, and i hope she carries back to her

supervisor that there was an oop oopsie and that caused some issue. and i'm not faulting the supervisor. it's just we all learn from leave-outs, and this is a leave-out. i heard mr. sanchez, when questioned -- or even not when questioned, he volunteered it. he said this building as is stands in the commercial district is fine. you know, apply for a permit, no issues, blah, blah, blah, and we wouldn't even be here. the issue is simply that this is an l.c.u., and it's the interpretation of the zoning administrator the applicant went to somebody and went to various professionals within the planning department were given a completely different interpretation. the zoning administrator chose

to have his administrator -- his interpretation a little bit later -- a little bit late, and that's where i think the sleight of use might come in in his interpretation of what the law was. i support my fellow commissioners on that. but in any other location, this would be fine, and in any other locations in those -- in those districts where this legislation was passed, that's why this legislation was passed, to enable small business to move -- to move forward, and to come in at the 11th hour and change that opinion, you'll have to discuss that behavior with mr. teague, but really, the error i think is the interpretation and also the error is the reversal on

previous advice given to the applicant. so i -- i'm not going to add anything or ask you to change. i'm going to be in support. >> commissioner santacana: given the blend -- >> commissioner honda: is this his first motion? >> clerk: it's his first night here. >> commissioner santacana: i try to stay out of it. >> commissioner honda: yeah. >> commissioner santacana: i think i would amend the motion to add a second independent ground that the zoning administrator erred in his interpretation of the law based on the evidence given. >> president swig: i'm more comfortable with that. thank you very much. >> commissioner honda: and we are going to have a second bite at this. >> commissioner honda: you've got to call the motion. >> clerk: okay. please make sure i'm accurate. we have a motion from commissioner santacana to grant the appeal and overturn the suspension request on the basis that the z.a.erred in

interpreting the planning code based on the interpretation by the planning code this evening. and further, that the zoning administrator acted arbitrarily in his discretion by changing the rules without adequate justification. so on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: okay. so that motion carries, and the appeal is granted. so -- [applause] >> clerk: so this concludes the hearing. thank you. .

>> good to have you here. welcome. i am the s.f.o. airport director. thank you all for being here. thank you. [ applause ]. >> thanks so much. you know, it's a pleasure to welcome everyone here today. this is such an important day and we're so excited to celebrate this unveiling and recognition and commemoration of our late mayor. we're so pleased to have the family here of ed.

thank you, anita, to have you here, ed's wife. ed's daughters tania and rihanna, welcome to both of you, and natasha, the granddaughter, is also here, welcome. pansie for being here, thank you for being here. 94 years young and she traveled from seattle to be with us today along with other members of the family. i understand ed's brothers and sister are here, edmond and manny, welcome and thank you for being here. it is a real honor for me to be here as well as the airport director and to celebrate this wonderful commemoration of our late mayor ed lee and his life time and legacy. such an important place to have

this commemoration. this is an appropriate dedication to our late mayor, as he was such a driving force in connecting our city to the rest of the world for business as well as cultural enrichment. he was so supportive and proud of our efforts to create such an amazing passenger experience and create the standard of a world-class airport. he would say he wanted everyone to feel like you were walking through a five-star hotel lobby when you travel through our airport. i think we achieved that vision. with a coalition of asian-pacific community organizations, the airport coalition wanted to honor the mayor and formed a special advisory naming committee. their job was to review the various proposals befitting of the honor that was proposed of our late mayor. i have to say it was a truly engaged and collaborative process. the committee came up with a

unanimous recommendation to the airport commission, which also received unanimous approval for the airport commission which received permission from the departure hall in his honor. [ applause ]. >> you know, there was community involvement in this and we created a special advisory panel, including anita and members of the committee that were helping guide the implementation of the various elements of what this honoring of our late mayor would be, including the wood wall which we will get to see a little later on, including this mural behind me, which in the future will be replaced with a plaque, as well as a statue and a video about ed and how important he was to the city and county of san francisco. it will be this lasting commemoration in our airport of

the extraordinary significance our late mayor ed lee had on the city and county of san francisco. with that, i thank you all for being here today. it is my pleasure to introduce the 45th mayor of san francisco, who served out the remaining term of mayor lee and who we all congratulate on her victory to a full four-year term as our mayor, welcome, mayor london breed. >> mayor breed: thank you, ivar. i'm really excited to be here today, especially with members of the lee family, members of our airport commission, and people that i served with on the board of supervisors when ed was our mayor, president of the board of superviseors, thank yo, supervisor yee, for being here.

when mayor lee was mayor, we were like his kids. we really were. we would go into his office. we would ask for things all of the time. in most instances, he was almost always so supportive. he cared about this city. he cared about the people of this city. he cared about doing good things for san francisco. when i first sat down with him as supervisor and told him that public housing was my priority, of course we bonded over our shared experience of growing up in public housing. he said, yes, we will work to make the condition of residents and public housing better. i will tell you since i've been mayor, we've been going to a lot of those public housing developments where the promises of our city have been fulfilled and the conditions have changed

significantly. it's because of his leadership and his work and his love and care for people. [ applause ]. >> mayor breed: his work for our public school system and our children, his work for public safety and for making sure that we are a city that focuses on making the right decisions, especially for future generations. you know, most mayors wouldn't say this, but since i've been mayor, i am really a beneficiary of all of his hard work. so when i go and i do those ribbon cuttings. when i go and we're saving buildings that mayor lee put in motion with funding and support, i know it's because of his hard

work that we're able to make people's lives better. i only wish, i only wish that he was able to be here with us to see what an amazing job he did for the people of san francisco. [ applause ]]. >> mayor breed: so many of his friends are here, people who worked and served with him, people who loved and supported him. again, i want to thank the lee family for just your continued support of san francisco, your continued involvement in the things that we do to improve the lives of people in san francisco. this is at least legacy.

i along with other emerging, elected officials, we are part of his legacy. the work that we did together in san francisco has really transformed our city and put us on the right path to continue to improve san francisco so it is fitting, as we dedicate the international airport to mayor lee to just also remind ourselves of the work that he did, but as the first chinese-american mayor in san francisco's history, the man was like a rock star. he was like a rock star. [ applause ]. >> mayor breed: now, ed didn't need a lot of attention, but i didn't let him not get the attention he needed. i remember when we went to china, we went to beijing and shanghai, and so many people

with their cameras and everything else and just -- i mean, you would have thought that it was beyonce and j.z. it was mayor lee getting love and to smile like it wasn't a big deal. i would tell him to soak it up and not get excited. that was his personality. he didn't need the attention or the fame. he was about the work. he was about the results. he was about the people. as we honor him here today, it is only fitting because he was an international figure, that when people come to this city, the first thing they see is mayor ed lee greeting them. when people leave this city, they can see the same thing. it's the impression that they get, and that is that he was an important figure for the city

and county of san francisco, so much so that he is acknowledged in such a significant way. thank you all for being here. thank you all to a lot of the airport workers that are here, the family, the people from the african and chinese communities, people who have come from far and wide to honor someone who was really -- such an incredible figure and incredible inspiration, and has done a lot to set our city on the right path. so it is only fitting that we honor him in this way today at the san francisco international airport. his legacy will continue to live on through us. thank you. >> it is now my pleasure to

introduce a former president of the board of supervisors. he worked with mayor lee on many issues. a warm welcome for california state assembly member, david chu. >> good morning, san francisco. this is a san francisco day. i was thinking of how to start my thoughts, and maybe i would start with the following which is i am going to be short because he was and i am. thank you all for being a part of the community of san francisco and so many of the community leaders who led to this day, to this wonderful naming dedication. of course we want to salute anita and your family for your family, your sacrifice, and your love. all of us have countless

memories of the mayor, and i'm going to relay just a few quick ones. it was exactly ten years ago to the day that i was in this international terminal with then-supervisor chu and mar. the three of us were the first chinese supervisors to serve together. we were heading on a good-will trip to southern china. we were joined by members of the chinese chamber, some of who are here. what was historic about that event for me ten years later is that we were joined by one incredibly competent, selfless, humble, and smiling city administrator, ed lee. i remember on that trip, those of us who were elected officials, we were new to our roles. we observed him as he interacted with our diplomatic counterparts, as he brought good will from this city, as he

fosters economic and social ties with other parts of the world. that is the ed lee that became mayor that we honor and respect today. a second memory involving this very airport. the first week the current occupant of the white house was inaugurated. he issued an executive order that said that airports were about to become the site of his new walls to keep out refugees. i'm going to quote something that mayor lee said because he was always so mild minored, but not on that day. as the son of chinese immigrants, i am disgusted by the president's executive order to target muslim communities, to ban immigrants from entering the united states. these actions are a direct betrayal of our american values.

we were also proud of him on that day because for our former mayor, it is important for him to lead a city where love trumps hate, where civility trumps rudeness. mayor lee stood for everything that is good about compassion and tolerance for all of our diverse communities. [ applause ]. >> let me end with my final memory of mayor lee, as anita knows. you and your husband like to make fun of me for not having a kid. i regret that my son lucas will not get to know uncle ed lee. what i can tell you is because of this photograph, because of this naming decision, we will have millions of kids from around the world, from china, from asia, from africa, from

latin american and europe who will come through these halls and say i'm the child of immigrants, but maybe some day i can run a city. i am the son of a cook and a se seamstress, but maybe some day i can run a city. mayor lee has given us hope in our future. that is why we are here today and that is why it is wonderful to be part of our san francisco community. thank you so much and god speed. >> and now my pleasure to welcome up a district 4

supervisor turned supervisor by mayor lee. please welcome carmen chu. >> hello, everybody. so happy to be here with all of you and to see this day come forward. so many people who are here today from all different parts of mayor ed lee's life, his family, the community who loved him, and of course the city's family who adored him and saw him as a mentor for many of us. i think the trip that we took was spoken about. when you travel with him, just like in relationships, they say it really reveals someone's true character. can you travel well together, were they fussy, were they hard to get along with, and so on. i have a memory of mayor ed lee on that trip. on that trip we were walking through these beautiful gardens

where you can see the scenery around. i see our mayor who wasn't mayor at the time, who was a city administrator, and he was looking at the trash can. he was looking at the trash can to understand whether the design of the trash can was something that we should mimic and bring back here to san francisco. so i think revealing the character that was our mayor and i think the family knows this too for all the times he brought you out to do cleanups, our mayor cared about the details to run the city and run it well and he did so with every part of his life. he could have been doing something different, but he was looking at a trash can. the mayor that i knew and the one that all of us came to love

came from humble beginnings, someone who has struggles in the family, who didn't have very much, where you saw your own family struggle with the language, and where somehow, some way, you became a lawyer who advocated for civil rights to make sure that injustices were not something that could be tolerated in our community, to be someone who cared about how we run our city for the benefit of the public, he became the mayor. one of my proudest moments as a daughter of immigrants was walking down the hall in the rotunda after selecting ed lee to be our mayor. that was probably one of the best votes i ever made as a supervisor. if there was one thing i could have left behind as a legacy would be that i selected and

supported that san francisco had our first chinese mayor. [ applause ]. >> as we're gathered here today to watch this unveiling and to see all of this, i think it brings us hope and pride, david spoke about this earlier, all of the people who will come through the san francisco international airport, all of the people who will look up and say who was this person and how was this person relevant to san francisco, and say i'm walking through this place, an international city, a place that sets the world's trends and to know that this man not only moved san francisco forward, but that he is a man who enexpires so many generations to come. my parents cooked in restaurants and they're proud that we have a voice and we can stand up and

fight for the injustices and see that when people are attacked in our community, we can stand up. it doesn't matter in you're chinese or latin american or another other background, i can't tell you how meaningful this is to have his remembrance at the international terminal. thank you. [ applause ]. >> next we have someone who worked with mayor lee on housing policy issues. now as our very own airport commissioner, malcolm young. [ applause ]. >> first of all, i need to apologize to assembly member chu. i think i laughed a little too loud at your short jokes -- mayor lee's short jokes.

and then carmen nudged me as well. thank you for that. when the press asked me about why i was so adamant about seeing this terminal named after mayor lee, i gave a response that in a city that was home to the chinese exclusion act, it is fitting that this gateway be named of a chinese-american civil rights advocate, someone who devoted his entire career to breaking down barriers. in that context, i want to point out the naming of this terminal is incredibly ironic and important. if you ask me without the press around in a quieter moment why i was so adamant about this, i want to give a much simpler answer. ed becoming mayor made me proud to be an asian-american. in a city and state where asian-americans had a long and

unrecognized role of building, ed lee becoming mayor was important and this is a point we continue to mirror as a community. i wasn't surprised when there was so much unity from our community when we first started organizing the committee and the campaign to bring this after mayor lee. the commissioner said the airport damn well name the terminal after ed, because i've never seen so many people who don't like each other in the same room pushing for the same thing. and maybe to put it in terms that our elected officials and advocates can understand better,

this naming campaign got the president of the community residents association out staples it got the head of the realtors out for an entire year. i got asked the question, when is that ever going to happen again? thank you, ed. ed is not the only person that we need to thank, but we love that you're here and this is amazing. i want to talk a little bit about the effort that it took to get us here. this was a 13-month campaign and it was led from and came from the chinese american community. i want to say thank you to all of the supporters who came on board to push for this. i want to call out some individuals and groups in particular, and i know we will do that more later. there were some folks who stepped-up. first and foremost i want to acknowledge annie chung.

annie was on the naming committee. annie was the moral compass of this effort, but also i want to thank you for stepping out early. your leadership in this community and this effort really i think lent the credibility that we needed to make sure that this is something that everybody got behind. thank you so much, annie. annie just got back from hong kong yesterday, so we're glad you're here. i want to call out and thank guretta louis. i want to thank you for getting this rolling. when she called us, we thought she was inviting us for a free lunch. it turns out she was setting out our work plan for the next 13 months. i also want to acknowledge walter wong. i know that losing ed was very

important. your leadership also lent an incredible amount of effort to this and we want to thank you. your leadership to the chinese chamber of commerce, so many leaders from these organizations were there every step of the way. i see ringo in the back. pitman, eddie, everybody who showed up at hearing after hearing. and the same is true for our ccba president. don't take that kind of commitment lightly or for granted. thank you so much. the ed lee democratic club. you guys gave the best testimony, but you also had the best stickers hands down when we were in the testimony room. many of you worked hard with and for ed during his years as mayor and that came out when you gave your public testimony.

thank you. also to our grassroots leaders to the community associations. our non-profit community leaders from a.p.i. council. your coming out really showed that this campaign was something special to real people and not just us political types or quoks out the there and i thought that was meaningful. jan sey, you came out, wayne lee. the sisters of cities communities, you came out. you clearly relished ed's relishment. that will be my only bad joke. individual friends of ed lee came out. you guys were really amazing and you were there all the time. ed's city family was incredibly helpful, the johnsons who aren't

here. those who are here. cava and steve is here. also, i just want to really give a thank you to the numerous airport staff who were cheering us from the sidelines and figuring out how to make this happen really effectively and expeditiously. this is meant as a complement. you guys sound like a bunch of ed lee bureaucrats. i want to thank jason shaminard. i think everybody got to know your name because you sent out so many e-mails and you got to know this well. kimson wong. when we started this campaign, you were running r.n.g. lounge and you let us meet there.

thank you so much for your support along the way. bill lee who is here. bill has always been a leader in this community. we want to thank the mayor's family. you being there at our community meetings was really wind behind our backs and thank you so much for motivating us. i'm going to end on a bit of a personal note. not so many people know that i was head of the asian-american association. president chu was president 25 years before me. [ laughter ]. >> you know, i was planning for my installation dinner and i thought long and hard about who i wanted to be keynote speaker. one answer emerged which was the one person whose career i wanted to capture as a person i wanted to emulate and it was ed lee. he was a community-based civil

rights leader who went on to serve this city. and he exemplified the service that i wanted to impress on my fellow colleagues. when i got to work for mayor lee early on in his administration, it really was with great pride that i did so. i want to say it's with pride that when i come to the international terminal from now on i can say to myself or my wife that i got to work for that guy. thank you. [ applause ]. >> thanks, commissioner. it is our pleasure to have such a wonderful showing and the family and we're so appreciative of everyone being here. with that, we want to welcome

representing the family. if you would come on up daughter tonia speaking on behalf of the family. [ applause ]. >> hello, everyone. this is truly such an incredible honor. on behalf of my mom, anita lee, and the entire lee family, many of which are here today, we would like to thank mayor london breed, the airport director, members of the airport commission, and of course the wonderful community who pushed this initiative forward and who were really the heart of this amazing dedication today. thank you so much. this dedication, like many have said, feels quite fitting. you know, people have talked

about how as a first chinese american mayor, how significant that is in the place where in 1882 there was the exclusion act and now his name is on the international airport. my mom and dad raised my sister and i to be global citizens and to appreciate the interconnectedness of us all. you know, i also know that when my dad was mayor, he helped us strengthen so many international relationships with the city. all the times he was on those trips, he would text us about the things he was experiencing. this international terminal is such a beautiful and a significant kind of place, whether it's travellers about to embark on an exciting adventure or a place to reunite with your loved ones or a place for those returning home, this is a place

of coming and going that centers human connection and human possibility. what an amazing honor to have the departures hall of this international terminal dedicated to my father who was the son of chinese immigrants and who truly believed in our ability to raise each other up and to raise new heights. i will quos with a quote of my dad's "live your life boldly and keep the door open for others." dad's "live your life boldly and keep the door open for others." >> that concludes our speaking portion. i do want to recognize so many important people. all of you are important. i want to call all of you out. the board of supervisors, norman yee. thank you for being here. mayor wayne lee.

our airport commissions and vice president, linda cradon, commissioner young, and our president couldn't make it today, but sends his well wishes to everyone. members of the board of equalization, leah cone. former airport commissioner karol lito. the t.s.a. director for s.f.o., fred lau. police chief bill scott. and former fire chief joanne hays white. thank you for being here and steve cava.

thank you for coming. do we have some department heads, phil ginsburg, office of civic engagement, adrienne pawn. thank you for being here. wonderful to have you all here. so with that, what we want to do is move to the center of the terminal and do the unveiling by the mayor.

>> hi today we have a special edition of building san francisco, stay safe, what we are going to be talking about san francisco's earth quakes, what you can do before an earthquake in your home, to be ready and after an earthquake to make sure that you are comfortable staying at home, while the city recovers. ♪ >> the next episode of stay safe, we have alicia johnson from san francisco's department of emergency management. hi, alicia thanks to coming >> it is a pleasure to be here with you. >> i wonder if you could tell us what you think people can do to get ready for what we know is a coming earthquake in san francisco. >> well, one of the most things that people can do is to make sure that you have a plan to

communicate with people who live both in and out of state. having an out of state contact, to call, text or post on your social network is really important and being able to know how you are going to communicate with your friends, and family who live near you, where you might meet them if your home is uninhab hitable. >> how long do you think that it will be before things are restored to normal in san francisco. >> it depends on the severity of the earthquake, we say to provide for 72 hours tha, is three days, and it helps to know that you might be without services for up to a week or more, depending on how heavy the shaking is and how many after shocks we have. >> what kind of neighborhood and community involvement might you want to have before an earthquake to make sure that you are going to able to have the support that you need. >> it is important to have a good relationship with your neighbors and your community. go to those community events, shop at local businesses, have

a reciprocal relationship with them so that you know how to take care of yourself and who you can rely on and who can take care of you. it is important to have a battery-operated radio in your home so that you can keep track of what is happening in the community around and how you can communicate with other people. >> one of the things that seems important is to have access to your important documents. >> yes, it is important to have copies of those and also stored them remotely. so a title to a home, a passport, a driver's license, any type of medical records that you need need, back those up or put them on a remote drive or store them on the cloud, the same is true with any vital information on your computer. back that up and have that on a cloud in case your hard drive does not work any more. >> in your home you should be prepared as well. >> absolutely. >> let's take a look at the kinds of things that you might want to have in your home. >> we have no water, what are

we going to do about water? >> it is important for have extra water in your house, you want to have bottled water or a five gallon container of water able to use on a regular basis, both for bathing and cooking as well as for drinking. >> we have this big container and also in people's homes they have a hot water heater. >> absolutely, if you clean your hot water heater out regularly you can use that for showering, drinking and bathing as well >> what other things do people need to have aren't their home. >> it is important to have extra every day items buy a couple extra cans of can food that you can eat without any preparation. >> here is a giant can of green giant canned corn. and this, a manual can opener, your electric can opener will not be working not only to have one but to know where to find it in your kitchen. >> yes. >> so in addition to canned goods, we are going to have

fresh food and you have to preserve that and i know that we have an ice chest. >> having an ice chest on hand is really important because your refrigerator will not be working right away. it is important to have somebody else that can store cold foods so something that you might be able to take with you if you have to leave your home. >> and here, this is my very own personal emergency supply box for my house. >> i hope that you have an alternative one at home. >> oh, i forgot. >> and in this is really important, you should have flashlights that have batteries, fresh batteries or hand crank flashlight. >> i have them right here. >> good. excellent. that is great. additionally, you are going to want to have candles a whistle, possibly a compass as well. markers if you want to label things if you need to, to people that you are safe in your home or that you have left your home. >> i am okay and i will meet

you at... >> exactly. exactly. water proof matches are a great thing to have as well. >> we have matches here. and my spare glasses. >> and your spare glasses. >> if you have medication, you should keep it with you or have access to it. if it needs to be refrigerated make sure that it is in your ice box. >> inside, just to point out for you, we have spare batteries. >> very important. >> we have a little first aid kit. >> and lots of different kinds of batteries. and another spare flashlight. >> so, alicia what else can we do to prepare our homes for an earthquake so we don't have damage? >> one of the most important things that you can do is to secure your valuable and breakable items. make sure that your tv is strapped down to your entertainment cabinet or wall so it does not move. also important is to make sure that your book case is secure to the wall so that it does not fall over and your valuable and breakables do not break on the

ground. becoming prepared is not that difficult. taking care of your home, making sure that you have a few extra every-day items on hand helps to make the difference. >> that contributes dramatically to the way that the city as a whole can recover. >> absolutely. >> if you are able to control your own environment and house and recovery and your neighbors are doing the same the city as a whole will be a more resilient city. >> we are all proud of living in san francisco and being prepared helps us stay here. >> so, thank you so much for joining us today, alicia, i appreciate it. >> absolutely, it is my pleasure. >> and thank you for joining us on another edition of building

>> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is

a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made

week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san

francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot
