Parking there and 18th street for a while. I want to thank you for pulling all the merchant groups together and like commissioner dwight says, none of these other cities have seen this yet. I think people may copy us to see what we do. I do believe in what you said too, in smaller towns, where you dont have this type of access, i can see this working and in San Francisco, i see the opposite. For a while there, i was seeing a lot of this em and all of a sudden a lot of them went away too. I cant thank you enough for taking this on because i know you are hearing it from both ends. Good and bad and sometimes people are really passionate about their feelings on this issue. I want to thank you for heading this up and taking this on because it was something that needed to be discussed. You are doing a great job with this, thank you. Do we have any Public Comment at this moment on item no. 5. Cmon up and please state your name my name is danny miles an mire. I own a store. Im a vicepresident
Comment at this moment on item no. 5. Cmon up and please state your name my name is danny miles an mire. I own a store. Im a vicepresident for the north association and a member on the board. I had a very open mind in the beginning, but its tough out there and we dont need anymore competition. Well fight it like we fought mobile retail and probably win. Just over there is certain where commissioner right dwight has your arms wrapped around it. Are there any scenarios where your merchants, are there services where they would welcome .

I dont like the model too much because it leaves room for cherry picking and Small Businesses they invest a lot of effort in brick and mortar location. We should maybe even consult on the grid like how do they get happy balance against brick and mortar competitors. They are selling something. I agree, we are soliciting feedback. There is a great amount of concern around the holiday period because thats where retailers make the bulk of the profit for the year.
