san francisco and we're doing stay safe and we're going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. we're here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to sanu know the bay area as 63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people can't stay in their homes after an earthquake. they may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we don't want that to happen. >> we want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. >> that's right so that means the housing needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former building official knows better than anybody the code says if an earthquake happens it won't kill you but doesn't necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you buil

san francisco other than automobiles. this legislation came directly from constituent feedback on a new more user friendly platform for city charter and codes that launched recently called san francisco code.org. san francisco code.org was launched in partnership with the [speaker not understood] dedicate today holding all levels of government accountable and our mayor's office of civic innovation. san francisco code.org is part of a broader initiative that first launched last september with the open gov foundation that sought to bring san francisco's laws and policies directly to the residents. this new civic engagement tool put policies in a more accessible and modern format that brings down the barriers to assessing, understanding and navigating the laws of our cities. we do live in the global center of technology and innovation here in san francisco and i believe it's incumbent upon everyone here in city hall to find ways for technology not only to impact our residents' daily lives but also drive further civic engagement. the law i'm introducing today is very simple and straight farad. we have a law current lip on the books that states private and public garages shall be used only for the stor

it was useful but i want to point out that the data don't alien with san francisco their study area include san francisco and south san francisco and other areas. their controls are different in those jurisdictions. ted from the controller's office is working on a formula rail based on aggravated data. those studies will include an informational point. we anticipate that study to be released in the coming weeks and we understand that san francisco retail brokers have given us a survey study including the existing studies as well as vacancies and we look forward to the release of that data as today and we role look forward to incorporating that into our analysis. then there's our study based on dunn and brad street data. i want to say that no data set is a perfect but we're encouraged the basic results using the different data sets actually line up so far. we and ted and the realtors have come up with the same percentage of formula retail as a total percentage and that's from 11 to 15 percent the fact we're using different data and studies coming up with the same results is encouraging to say the least. as i mentioned
