so, you see city college is a stepping stone for my family. i'm here today to speak briefly about the negative impact to the student body, the payment plan system has caused as well as to request to reinstate the board of trustees. on november 12 of last year administration sent out an e-mail notifying students of the implementation of the payment plan system starting this semester. this payment plan system has contributed to dropping enrollment and makes it harder to stay at city college, particularly for students who are most vulnerable including low-income students, working class students, and immigrant students. there is no proper notification of the payment plan other than that one single e-mail that was sent out to students. there is no regard for students where english may not be their first language, where they have no access to computers or the internet, and the fact that many notices and e-mails sent out to the student school e-mails do not go through because of the internal computer school system. more over, implementing a payment p

do you think is regulatory issues will go away, or do you see tech friendly cities see toy -- be very unfriendly this? >> seattle is a new development, but if you look at the other cities on the map, the friendliness and recklessness to the tech innovation and car service sharing has been incredible. mostly because at the end of the day consumers love the services. if they have an unsafe ride in the can stop using the service at any time, they are not required to use sidecar or lift or uber. versuss talk about uber left, versus sidecar. where is lift going to fall in this? uber clearly have the upper hand right now. >> i would not agree with that. this is a discrete model that appeals to very important segment of the population. lift is a more friendly experience, you have a conversation with your driver, it is a more social experience. you also people driving their own card which creates a different community dynamic. i think there's a segment of the proposition that appreciates that rather than sitting in the back like a vip like you and me. >> the big mustache is annoying. her do g

you may remember this map in the presentation last month. this map shows the concentration as a percentage of total rail across the city you see the underlying parcels are for formula retail it's moss much less concentrated in districts that have controls. formula it is 24 percent of retail square footage in retail districts with control vs. 53 percent of retail in districts out control. on average formula retail establishments occupy more space than invent retails. there's been 3 and 10 thousand square feet. the planning code requires a separate cu in the c-3 district and 50 square feet in other other retail districts. this is an important understanding for two reasons one formula retail fill different inches in the retail environment and two the c u controls may not be that meaningful since few complete the threshold. this table is designed to illustrate the mix of retailers. in commercial districts with formula retails in place the most common types of stores a pharmacy stores and apparel and assessor stores and other grocery stores. it includes pet stores and others to name a few. the most common types of the specialize retail stores are
