are our lgbt businesses. >> but, if the rents go up, whether you are a small business were larger business, your can be pushed out. my question to you is, >> that's why we have other tools that can help with that. those are tools that-all of these things are part and parcel. the city for all say it again. this really about leveling the playing field. i have helped businesses at the outset of their negotiations with the landlord's many times and ultimately, there's another contender in the running that can pay four times what even asking prices, there's no point in even negotiating with a small business owner zero local get it doesn't matter whether they can bring to the table what other assets when other improvements are planning on making. it doesn't matter. they're going to go with a formula retail guy every single time. >> maybe commissioner dooley can comment on the vacancies in north beach because there seems to be an awful lot of them in my recent tourist. >> i would say having been a merchant in north beach for many years and currently working with merchants, he's formula retail ban

and housing lifts the tide of small businesses because most small businesses are tied into housing. where are we now in the housing cycle? are we headed up? are we pla towing or heading down? >> let me give you have my personal view. if you read the papers, they say the last time we had a good housing market, there were 1.2 million single family starts. i believe 300,000 to 400,000 of those starts were because we had mortgages going back six to seven years that no longer exist in our economy. they were arm mortgages, negative amortization. and subprime. and subject rrp prime will get people in trouble. if you take 300,000 to 400,000 off that 1.2 million number, we are currently at around 530,000. two years ago we were at 310,000. so there is a lot of room to maneuver upwards. i like the trend. gary: if the next president comes to you in january and says, jimmy, i want to grow this economy 4% and i know the housing can be a big push there, what can he or she do to make that happen? >> traditionally what washington has done, and washington's power over mortgages is greater today than

until we have the legacy business program manager on board. i will continue to work with those that submitted their application to make sure we get them moving forward, which is the 11 remaining applications. 6-20, this is working backward the 7-20 date of the hpc hearing. they will transfer the completed applications to the historical preservation commission. on 6-30 because were doing some revisions based upon this oracle preservation commission's request, making the modifications to the application we will have the translated application instructions and cover sheet on our website no later than june 30. >> supervisor peskin: it seems to me maybe we need to have mr. fry in here because i mean, this is not been before the historical preservation commission and this is all happening at a staff level without any input to my knowledge from the duly appointed commissioners. so, i really feel like this is not very-may you maybe mr. buehler -mr. buehler could you, peer? this is not public comment. this is a question of someone following this might

businesses.hat's a crazy amount. >> so in other words i know that cheryl sanberg on the facebook call basically said listen, there's millions of users but that means there's still millions to come. >> yes and i think probably 80% of the ones that need web sites probably need to replace it to get better mobile support or a more efficient web site. you want your web site to look great and be efficient. the other thing is that mobile is always changing so you want to have something that fits mobile and so this is a big part of our customer. another part is the ones that you don't imagine that need a web site. we have web sites for soccer club clubs, events, weddings. >> so recently we heard jeff bezos talk about how he has a thousand people on artificial intelligence. sales force talks about artificial intelligence, ibm talks about cognitive -- you have artificial intelligence. why do i need artificial intelligence for my own web site? >> i don't know if you need it for your own web site, but for bu

we're a long term business. group health is going to be an incredibly part of our business. one concrete data point other than the savings these corporations are seeing is look how many peer reviewed research studies and papers that fit bit is part of. right now there are over 100 studies that we're a part of. one big one was the dana far better cancer institute. they're looking to see if fit bits can be used as an integral part of the breast cancer. >> you've been very clear, you have said there isn't necessarily a linkage to stop breast krangs but you have stayed over and over again that as you get more and more data, you will switch over in the minds of investors. what percentage is health and wellness versus the conventional people want. >> right now the group health revenue is less than 10% of the business. but we have over 1,000 enterprise customers we've added oh the last ten years. this is a long term vision that we have for the transformation of the company. >> aren't you surprised that each time someone puts up a strawman, you were supposed to be destroyed by jaw b

business or life? >> after a 25-year career, he retired to spend more time with his family. action coach came calling offering the tools and years of hard work and good use for others. the goal is helping people make more money and have more ftime. he describes the most common pitfalls. missed opportunities and burn outs. >> so tired of running so hard for so fast and so long and not getting anywhere u. my job is to get them on the path, walk with them down that path. >> he had me put post its of all the goals and the types of go s goals. that was really enlightening. he was really important that the personal goals actually were related to your business goals. >> just like i kind of went through all the aspects of their business to see where the biggest problem is. 90% of the time it's time. time management. >> as a small business owner, you have to be multiple things in the business. you have to be the vice president of market and sales and chief operating officer. you u think in those different areas

this time around, businesses are still very cautious. so they're continuing near seven, eight years into the recovery still on temporary, low-wage, part-time employees. so i think it might be a structural shift but more, it reflects the fact that businesses are still very hesitant in today's environment. >> at this time last week, we were talking about how the markets were handicapping a fed interest rate hike in june. does this report derail that? >> well, it's going to be very difficult to see exactly how the fed is going to gauge this morning's report. remember, this comes against the backdrop of weeks of very hawkish commentary with fed officials reiterating the fact that they viewed the economy as relatively improved. after a slow start out of the year. if that position was well founded, one weak data point should not derail the fed's intentions to continue removing accommodation. but of course the labor market was at the forefront of that argument. so i think we're going to see certainly a heightened divide between the hawks and th
