we think of ourselves as a san francisco business i want to keep my business on union and in this flat for so long as i can i applied for a temporary extension it's the best location for me my employees and the community. i fear that moving and i have look at into that will be far more costing not to mention the cost of moving he invested one hundred hundreds thousand dollars i realize this was any choosing choice under a conditional use permit i looked at the rentals in the area there was nothing comparable i predicament i will have to move to los angeles because it the a lot of small business apparel company lives i have my production team in los angeles the use of a 2 hundred thousand square feet warehouse i couldn't afford here and talent for those types of tasks in the area but i want to maintain the heart of my business in san francisco and keep my kids at those schools and keep the live style choirs i see office space there's the for rent and it is expensive. my being my own landlord allowed me to be on union and allows me to recruit amazing staff i couldn't operate without them

final item that the er is working on or we're proposing is that is this does effect new businesses in san francisco previously under current law someone came in the month of april or may and they were starting their business the way that the law worked they would have to registration their business with the renewal period they'd have to come back and pay thirty days latter to renew for next year we thought this the silly so we're striving when someone paid we have to issue within thirty days their certificate even if not effective until july one we'd have to issue it increase in the mid of may people had to come back we thought it was not very convenient for small businesses so, now once this law changes you can come in and registration and pay nor the current year and the year coming up and we'll issue our certificate for july one this will be a slight administrative active convenience for those new small businesses but we think it will be simple they'll appreciate this and certainly someone that has done it in the past knows it's frustrating. i want to first of all, ask for questions and get into

business i'd like to propose. i would like to propose that we schedule a presentation from the san francisco super bowl 50 host committee at the chamber of commerce. we recently heard from keith bruce who is the ceo of that committee, and they are establishing a formal outreach for small business to try and identify business opportunities for small and local businesses, the two being not necessarily the same. and, so, they have a presentation. i think we should reach out to them and ask them to come -- may or may not be keith bruce, but someone from his office, and hopefully we can get -- do a little bit better than we did with the america's cup on this one. so, it's a big event and it's not too far away. >> all right.

we're going to see a redistribution of business in san francisco. sure, there's still going to be inexpensive restaurants, but those inexpensive restaurants are not going to be local entrepreneurs, they're going to be the large national chains that can afford to cost average. the mcdonald's, mcdonald's isn't going to go anywhere. mcdonald's has hundreds and thousands of restaurants across the nation and the world that they can income average on. what we're going to lose is the individual entrepreneurs, the opportunities for locals to start, operate and own businesses. and a lot of long-time business owners are going to go out of business. we can just write it off to darwinian economics if we want, but they're never going to come back when we have a recession. once you move, you're not coming back. it's done, moved on. i'm over it. and, so, i think, you know, it's going to change the complexion of san francisco. i think it's inevitable. it may not be lamental. it's going to be lamental for those who get forced out of business. i think it's just fooli
