one in the pier 80. and what i am focusing here is the metro court, leases that area, 69 acres, this whole area, between 92 and 96, is 65 percent leased and it does include, the industrial buildings that are almost 100 percent displayed by the real estate and they have the vacant areas and we have the back lands area and you have the asphalt area and the iron ore terminal area which is not used to the capacity. >> and so, we have a chunk of area that not used. >> thank you. >> and about 30 percent let's. >> about 30 acres. and 30 acres are available. >> so that area that we are talking about there, is that the landfill or is it the below sea level or what? why, why do we, or would we have to give piles in order to have storage. >> i have never been out there and that is why i am asking. >> and so it is on the landfill, and it is uneven terrain, and so if we built anything, there, it would, the foundation would be unsettled and continue to settle and no one will want to build there without having a strong

they responded, they found the body behind pier 52. police were the first to respond, but they were on the other side of the pier, so they couldn't see the wreckage, nor the body. firefighters on a boat did see everything and took the body back to a fire station, but there are so many questions still about what led up to all this. for the last few hours, san francisco police marine units have been using sonar in the water to make sure there's no one else who might have been on the boat that crashed. san francisco police say there were two boats out here, a witness apparently from the second boat told firefighters he saw the driver slumped over the wheel of the makeshift plywood boat going full throttle into the pier. that witness told investigators he had tried to get in the water, save the person, but couldn't get to him, so he was treated for hypothermia. san francisco fire officials say the story seems suspect, and police are now handling this investigation. we spoke with a member of the bay view boat club, which is right near the s
