and in these small cities just like you do in the outside world, you have all sorts of technologies. you have criminals in these malls in these small cities that are able to use this to map to track, and to conduct surveillance on people. and these are all things that are taking place in this small seemingly controlled environment. that a lot of people are unaware of. so when you go in there, you need to remember, to keep your eyes on your surroundings, and make sure that you are aware of everything in this small city, inside of these malls just like you are in the outside world. >> that's terrific. so, i'll ask you this, and i guess there are a number of different answers for this. but are malls generally speaking, protecting consumers who are after all customers, as well as they should be? >> no. and one of the problems with that is that the pace of change is the biggest threat to the world that we have today. if you look at the entire world, the pace at which things happen is staggering. which is driven by technology. and that includes malls. >> one of the things you say is that m

this is the controversy about whether a small city in new jersey was being politically punished whenn appointee of new jersey governor chris christie, otherwise inexplicably, ordered the shutdown of two of the entrance lanes on to the world's busiest bridge, thus backing up traffic so badly into the town of ft. lee that the whole town was essentially gridlocked for almost a whole week. although there were initial claims that maybe some sort of traffic study was the explanation for what happened to ft. lee that week back in september, the executive director of the agency that runs the bridge says, you know what, no, there was no traffic study. two weeks before the traffic armageddon shutdown, the democratic mayor of ft. lee, new jersey, apparently had rejected requests to endorse chris christie in his bid for re-election as new jersey governor. now, using the busiest bridge in the world to gridlock a small city as political payback to that city's mayor? that seems insane, right? but that explanation, as crazy as it sounds, is not going away, because in the now weeks-long investigation

city of neighborhoods. and it is part of the great attraction, the fact that we are geographickly small means that you can do a lot of what you want to do in san francisco, on foot. which is a great thing. in terms of cycling we are one of the most bicycle friendly cities and it is a fast growing mode of transportation in san francisco and we have seen a lot of growth of creative ways of getting around and we launch the bike sharing a couple of months ago and san francisco has been a leader in car sharing. and a lot of other services are developing to try to make it easier for people to get around the city. but we are also not without our challenges and i made reference, already, and i will and i don't think that i need to talk about the challenges that we have with the muni and despite the fact that we are a very walkable city, in terms of pedestrian safety, we really compare pretty unfavorably to many other major cities in the united states, really the exact opposite of where we want to be. and our bicycle network, and despite the great growth is some what fragmented and we have portions that are very frie

want to say that the vision at the san francisco bike coalition includes a thriving small business community and our city vibrantcy depends on the small business culture that is sustainable and that is growing. and that small business, and livable streets go hand in hand and i want to highlight a couple of examples in san francisco. on valencia street, two-thirds of the merchants said that the improvement bike lanes and etc., improve their business, and the recent study by the fisherman's wharf shows that improvement to jefferson street, brought over a one million dollars in gross sales as compared to last year and this is a brand new project with parking conversion, and traffic calming, and wider sidewalks. and so there is a precedence in san francisco for the benefits of some of these projects. and the cities like new york, and on 9th avenue and union square, have the pearl street in brooklyn, and seattle, and washington, d.c. and chicago. are all investing in the livable streets, and seeing the benefits to their businesses, and so i hope that you continue to do the same for san francisco. and i hope t
