uber charges in advance and guaranteed that the people wait for them. nobody waits for us. i'm on the list for medallions. so if you put extra cabs for the people on the list, make it limited and controlled for the uber. the guy is talking [pwho-elt/]s hotels is saying there is not enough cabs. what about waiting in front of hotels for two hours and get nothing? limousines take the whole fare, so we waste time. it's not about short cabs of it's about the system, the system and how they manage their business. thank you very much. if you go to a restaurant you wait an hour for a table. so you don't mind waiting 10-15 minutes for a cab friday night. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. >> david hathaway, brian rosen, last speaker barry corngold. >> good afternoon, mr. hathaway. >> good afternoon. i have been driving a cab for20 years and been on the list for 16 years and currently no. 17 on the medallion waiting list. i kind of look at this along with the medallion proposal thing, giving the medallions directly to the companies. and i feel like it's a time when we're under t

all of the people on the medallion list are near 50 and older including myself. we have been waiting and waiting and waiting. the bottom line, not one single medallion should be given to anyone, but the people who have earned these medallions. what are you thinking? you are just going to take that from me? i am looking at you. i am looking at you, you, you, you, you and you. really? you are going to do that to me and all of these other drivers have been slaving out here? i am not rich. i don't have a san francisco condo. i'm not getting over. there are hours at least four hours out of a 12-hour shift, there is nothing. we're just driving around in circles, ask somebody who knows what is going on in the streets. not the paperwork. ask me. ask the driver what is going on. think about had you go home tonight. any metalion issued should go directly to the people waiting for it, who have been working for, who have been slaving for it. thank you.

following sentence you proceeded to show that you don't understand the concept of the waiting list or the issue with it. such as the people waiting 15, 20 years and sluging it out the of this time at very low-income and having to work hard shift where's there is nobody there. they finally are ready to get their medallion and it's not going to be worth it for them to buy it. you are telling them that okay, at least you have the opportunity to buy it if you are on the list. it makes no sense. everybody on the list gets a medallion -- i mean the medallions don't get sold to anybody who is not on the list and the people at the top of the list, it's not worth it for them to buy it most of the time because they are too old. they are been doing this for 20, 30 years already. so you need to to explore this a little further. and then as i said before, barry toronto shared some of the emails with me, that he obtained through the public records act. and i was appalled at the disrespect given to the cab drivers and all the meetings that we have been going to through the years. it did consider the needs of public and the agency, it ga

an amount of core percentage of medallions to remain on transferable to be given to the remaining people on the waitingist. i would say that was the biggest difference there with regard to the waiting list. the continuation of distribution according to seniority. as well as keeping the medallions distributed to qualified cabdrivers. living in to industry operation, we have -- this was us examining how having sales or transfers really affected the quality of the service provided to the public. there a few recommendations here they can go over the week ended up adopting. the biggest theme is having more involvement of lead per diem for it -- full-service cab companies to ensure the medallions are operated and run in a proper fashion that would benefit the members and people of san francisco. there are cab companies to have reinvested in their operations who are doing their best to -- to abide by operations and corporate. the drivers fund is a subject that was not addressed to much in the proposal. this remains the same between what we decided and what the director has put forward. the biggest highlight h

the new app dealing with maps is causing a lot of consternation. does that force people delay purchasing it until they straighten that out? >> well, i think, david, your visual of the people waitingn line answers the question. first of all, on the thinness, technologists say it's an extraordinary feat to do what the last phone could do and more, but to put it in the tiny light and stretched packages is, you know, moving mountains in the technology world. i've seen quite a few of these before. the tide could turn. for now, i think, this maps fiasco is probably a temperature pus in the teapot. people like complaining about the one thing they don't like for app the products but they bay them. apple fixes this, improves it, and they will get a stand alone eye. it's a black eye, not a heart attack. liz: on the screen -- it was, but indiana university, as it pertains when it comes to directions to the apple map, and then to the right is the google maps. so much more detail. can we flip that over to martha's vineyard. we did one there. you can see with google where the actual parkland is and there's much more detail. these two companies, how sort of hateful are they towards each other?

i was watching tv in the samsung galaxy commercial makes fun of the people waiting in line for the iphone5. everywhere you go, you see the galaxy posters, point your phone up, and you get five free songs. there's fierce competition. >> of course. it's one of the most lucrative markets out there. you have to be mildly concerned for app 8 because they have the highest price out there. phones going for $650, and competition has one lever which is price, and they want to use that price, you know, to get market share and willing to take less margins. apple's margins unbelieve l, 50 cents on every dollar of revenue they have. you know, if there's any traction, you know, on price, then that's another point of concern. >> there's the competition from within apple. you know, you'd think the iphone sales eat into ipad if they come out with an ipad mini, is that the next possibility? that could hurt iphones r -- or no? >> it's going to hurt ipad itself, cannibalistic to ipads. they said the sales were weak because of consumer expectations of a new prubl, the iphone5. think of ipad. everyone's talking

the right house. there's people i've had as buyers who have waited a year to find the right house. they paid a little more for it, but it was worth the wait. people are picky too. >> diana, there's just no urgency. >> no urgency. i was just talking to an investor today. he was talking about this fundamental shift in attitudes toward homeownership. it's just not what it used to be. a lot of potential buyers out there are saying i can rent a single family home and even though, you know, home sale prices are lower and affordability is supposedly better, i don't have to deal with a mortgage. i don't have to deal with the upkeep. someone else can do it. most of all, i don't have to worry about anymore price depreciation. he says he's got a four-month waiting list of people who want to rent single family homes. these are families in good neighborhoods. >> that's a great point. fred, don't you think we're going to look back on this period and say, wow, remember when we could have got an mortgage 30 years at 3%? it's crazy. >> okay. i'll point out how old i am. i'm old enough to remember wh
