[ applause ] >> we were also just named as a finalist to host this cool international parks conference in 2015 in which we are going to be welcoming cities from all over the country to learn how we do it here in san francisco. and then, just last month, and a big thank you to all of you, san francisco voters approved proposition b. the cleanest safe neighborhood parks fund which allows us to renovate and juvinate your parks. 83 years ago, uncle john mcclarin and if you go in the gm office you can see a picture of him. started the tradition of lighting this mile-long stretch of trees started and ending here in front of the lodge where he lived for a number of

so, the spending for lodging [speaker not understood] was $225 for each individual. the spending on food and beverage was 307. even $13 on average is spent on attractions in golden gate park outside of the festival. the average spending for per person for the event, these were nonresidents again, $407 in san francisco, $108 per person per day. this is a summary slide i wanted to focus on for just a second. the direct spending as estimated by all of the individual nonresidents who were at the event, $27 million. when you add the direct spending, indirect and induced, that figure rises to about $60 million. personal income, 20 million. full time equivalent jobs, about 683. to summarize quickly, the outside lands attendees were mostly nonresidents. so, this was not just a locals only party. two and three nonresidents were in san francisco strictly because of the outside lands festival. there was one reason why the vast majority were visiting san francisco. nonresidents spend an average of three days in san francisco. so, they made it really a mini vacation for the event

where you go, i will go, where you lodge, i will lodge. your people shall be my people and your god shall be my guide. even to the end. winston churchill was brought to tears. but that's not a hard thing because he's like speaker john boehner. [laughter] but the important thing is that his words spread throughout great britain, especially the phrase even to the end. he threw a lifeline to the british people and they never forgot it. during that time he was in england, there was a period of six weeks that he stayed with subsequent visits to the country during the war. hopkins would stay with winston churchill's country house. clementine was famous for not being prone to get along with people that she did not know. he was very discriminating. but she got along famously with hopkins. he had a good sense of humor and she was amused by his constant complaints to her about it she long underwear. so he would be in the downstairs bathroom shivering in his long overcoat that was made of wool and his scarf and hat. working on his memos and cable. an

and that breaks down into categories like lodging and restaurants and retail trade and transportation. a second point is because the demand for hotel which is driven by the moscone expansion is bigger than the supply, that means that it's very likely that hotel rates in san francisco will rise simply because demand exceeds supply as a result of this. and what that means is it seems very likely that the hotel industry will benefit from higher rates even given their assessment on the convention center. from the perspective of the hotel industry, the expansion project will pay for itself. i'll get to the question of whether it kind of pays for itself from the city's perspective in a moment. but with that success, also because it's going to be very favorable for the city's hotel industry, it's likely that city's repayment risk [speaker not understood] of cops is quite low, quite minimal. and again, the arrangement itself has been structured as she told you, in a very conservative way [speaker not understood]. economic fundamental suggests the risk is very low. we use as we always do in ou
