so i'd like to hear from mr. eagan. i find this to be curious if not professional. >> good evening, supervisors. ed eagan, controller's office. to your question, supervisor peskin, we made a determination that we needed to do an economic impact report on this item because of the number of shared spaces that had been installed in the past year which i recall was in the low thousands and if this legislation were to allow to make them permanent, that could substantially affect the space that the city and county of san francisco devotes to outdoor dining or to all kinds of restaurant uses. as we made clear in our report, we think the two main economic issues are are there economic benefits to sponsoring restaurants from expanding their space and to the outdoors and are there economic harms or risks to other businesses that don't sponsor shared spaces from the loss. we're particularly referring to the curb side shared spaces and the bulk of the pandemic. given the sheer number of them that might be made permanent during this
